I frequently set the status of my Skype to "SkypeMe", so that I can get some distractions while I am working. While in the US, a Skype user, going by the name of juliana.atiso, from Ghana, chatted me up, and subsequently I added her.
And so far, I figured there were around maybe 5 mins to 10 mins of conversation. Yesterday, without any preamble, she claimed that her grandmother didn't survive an operation, and upon asking, said "the fabroid operation". She then asked if I could help her with her bills.
Even though I'm pretty well-off, I'm not a sucker, so I said no. She remains on my Skype contacts list, but I've targetted her for termination in a month's time. :-)
