Spammed In Real Life

So I was sitting outside on a picnic table this afternoon. Enjoying the nice weather and cramming for a midterm when I noticed this girl making her way to my table. I didn't know her, but she sat down anyway. It was too nice of a day for me to squabble over her invading my space and I had to leave in a couple minutes anyway, so I didn't protest, I didn't look up either. When she sat down, she asked if I make a lot of money at my job, or if I even had a job. WTF? I was reading my history book and she's asking about my job? So I didn't really respond, rather just looked at her. To which she took the initative to tell me about how Microsoft had sent her an email where if she could forward 5 email addresses, not already in her address book, they would send her a check for $240. And if I would participate and then find 5 more people, I could make money too. This explaination went on for three minutes without me saying anything.

I waited for her to stop speaking before I told her that that scheme was spam and that it didn't come from Microsoft. She just looked at me in disbelief and after a minute said, "Well the checks have to come from somewhere" and sat there and just stared at me while I just sat there and wondered if I was hallucinating. She then rolled her eyes, said Whatever and walked off in a huff.

I immediately called Bean to relay this story and decided that I had just been spammed in real life. Weird.
