Greetings.
I just got contacted by someone I didn’t know by instant messaging (Yahoo! Messenger’s protocol, specifically), and I quickly decided to have some fun with him/her...

I never had an Uncle Grover. Go read http://weirdthingoftheday.blogspot.com/ while I take a walk around the department. Good day.
I’ve heard of this sort of scam before, where the scammer tries to get bank account numbers so he/she can steal money, but this is the first time I’m aware of it being attempted via IM.

And I also resent all these greedy people thinking I am dead and trying to get my money!
