15 years ago
General
This is from a friend of mine,so i thought i'd spread the word here on FA
This morning I woke up and loged on to my YIM I'll let you read the messages, I only edited the names due to Security, but please belive me it's all real
I'm wondering if any of you have encountered this yourself,
this happend around 6 am my time, my friend 'IB' was asleep at the time, so they said.
inuebony: your up early
I B: hi
inuebony: hi how are ya?
I B: I just took an IQ quiz here.. pretty cool
inuebony: an offical one? or street IQ?
I B: got a 113 lol... thought I was smarter than that
inuebony: hehehe
I B: you should see if you can beat me... if u can ill buy u a drink lol
( this is where it sounded odd, my friend knows I don't drink acholic beverages)
inuebony: ehehhe sure, is it on face book?
I B: ( gives a link to the website called iqmescore1 ) I bet you cant haha
inuebony: we shall see
( I foolishly clicked onto the link and came with a video with a 10 question quiz, after you finish it asks you to give the website your cell phone number and it will text you the results)
I B: take it now while I take a shower!
inuebony: I dont' have cell phone..
( my friend IB should also know that I dont' have a Cellphone)
I B: ill be back in a few after im all fresh lol
( IB never says any phase like that)
inuebony: and that was a fake test.....are you alright?
I B: BRB .. take that test!
inuebony: You do not sound like the friend I know...prove me wrong or I'm closeing this conversation
( after that I monitored their activity and saw that the acount was active but not responding for an hour and half and loged off at 7:20 am )
inuebony: hello?
inuebony: Isaiah?
inuebony: friend I'm worried please say something
(7:20 IB logged off)
