Like many women these days, I have noticed a significant increase in men sending me love letters and pictures of their genitals. The love letters usually start on social media and the men tell me I am the one for them. They have been following me on facebook, twitter, Instagram, whatever and they love everything about me. I am beautiful. I am unlike anything they have seen before. For a long time I just deleted these obvious scams, but lately I have been playing a little game. I call it Buying Souls for Cthulhu. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the work of the brilliant horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft, he was one of the most influential horror writers in history. His work has inspired Clive Barker, Stephen King, Guillermo Del Toro and countless others. His most famous creation was the elder god, Cthulhu. Merely looking upon this sleeping god could drive you insane. He has a cult, of course, and he loves devouring souls. I thought I would help him a little by collecting a few souls for him and making myself laugh.
I must admit. I had far too much fun with this and am overjoyed that Mr. Phillips loved me enough to pledge his eternal soul to the cult of Cthulhu for me. La! La! Chtulhu Fhtagn! Long live Cthulhu and shame on all these scammers that work so hard to con lonely women out of money. The worst part isn’t even the money. They break the women’s hearts so I am happy to give all their hearts to Cthulhu. He will know what to do with them.
The truth, however, is that after I did significant online research, I found that these men have been able to con women out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some women have lost everything. These cons are very common and they are quite cruel, so if someone tells you they are falling for you online, be careful. Never send anyone you have never met money. Do a reverse image search on the images used in their account and make sure the images match the names that come up. The internet is full of scammers. Be careful with your heart and your money.
