People who've clicked on really risky looking ads.

What actually happened when you committed?

My dad, arrest him, kept getting viruses on his laptop because of these ads.

But it's the specific ones that chat at you by name, you know?

So he knew, in retrospect, that these ads were what was messing up his computer,

but he kept falling for them because they'd address him by name.

So he always figured that it must be someone he knew, because they wouldn't just chat and call him by

his first name otherwise, right? Oh, Dad. Oh gosh, I used to work at one of those places that

provides captions for hearing impaired telephone users, and I listened to one side of a

call between an old man and his adult daughter. Dad, I told you to not click on those links.

No, I'm not replacing another computer for you. I told you not to click on those links. Those are

not real girls. It's a scam. Do you really think there are single girls in your area? In North Dakota?

You're 85 years old. Why would they want to meet you? It went on a while longer with more in the same

vein. It was the second funniest crap I'd heard at that job, even if it was a little sad when the

daughter acknowledged that she knew her father was lonely. Used to be one of the people who bought these ads to promote

those sites. 90% are cash grabs, populated by bots or paid girls, to lead guys on. They have some

real users. Most of the users are still bots or hired folk. You might even end up talking to

Misty, who is actually Devinda from India. It's cheap to get real humans from developing countries.

I clicked on one of them that told me,

This game will make you come in two minutes, out of curiosity.

Played some Star Trek derivative game for about six months, and it was actually kind of fun.

I never came while playing it, though.
