My Three-Month Facebook Dialogue With A Scammer From Malaysia Pretending To Be A Beautiful Woman

My friend and fellow McSweeney’s contributer Teddy Wayne wrote this. That is, he wrote to a “woman” named Claire Anrie who friend-ed him on Facebook, and “she” wrote back. It’s hilarious. One of my favorite exchanges in it is this:

Teddy Wayne: Come to New York! We have many restaurants, discotheques, nightclubs.

Claire Anrie: can you accommodate me?

Teddy Wayne: Of course!

Claire Anrie: do you think is proper fro you to do that

Teddy Wayne: Why not? We have known each other only a short time, but I feel I already know you well in some ways.

Claire Anrie: – am so much in love with you
         – am cool
         – i like a guy who knows how to treat a lady

Teddy Wayne: I would buy you concert tickets, stereo, red dress.
