Rinoa Poison: Scambaiter

A box containing a “love note” and a special surprise has been sent to the address that was provided during yesterday’s stream.

We called them after missing well over 55 calls and a number of increasingly urgent texts since yesterday. Timer was started at 3hr 23min 09sec.

We gave him the tracking number for the box that was sent. He was upset that Jessica used USPS rather than UPS and that it wasn’t sent overnight and that she hadn’t requested a signature for delivery.

Richard was fixated on getting Jessica’s address. At first, he came up with a completely unintelligible reason for why the address was needed. Then, he said that he needed the address so that he could visit Jessica. Jessica said that she didn’t want such a rude boy to visit her and said that was a creepy thing to say. Then he said that it was just a joke and returned to the unintelligible excuse.

Richard then wanted to offer free computer services (likely to try to get Jessica to keep her computer on and connected to them) but wouldn’t explain what the services are. Eventually said that he was going to clean up our hard disk, which sounded awfully dirty.

Jessica asked Richard to apologize to her for all his rudeness and making her feel bad. She asked him to be sincere. “No halfbutt here. We want fullbutt.”

We wrote a heartfelt apology letter that Richard read to us. (shown below) He said he would call us back later.

An iPhone has been delivered to John/James Cooper in New Mexico.  

He wanted to transfer us to a manager but nobody was available. Through a conversation and then a series of questions, Jessica figured out that he lives in India, but he wouldn’t admit to it.

He said that he was in New Jersey. When Jessica asked what time it was in NJ, he said that the time was 4:58 when it was really 4:29. When she questioned him about it, he said that he was looking at the time on his watch.

Jessica started to ask him about India when he confessed that he came from India. She asked where people should visit if they travel to India. He said the Taj Mahal was the best choice. When she continued the conversation with the assumption that he was in India, he went silent, then booped.

We called Richard back but Jason answered. Jessica told Jason that Richard was rude yesterday but that he was polite today.

Jason asked Jessica to give him access to her computer again. At one point, he just stopped responding. He booped but eventually called back.

Jason expressed an interest in Jessica and her life. Jessica told him about her photography work, which got them talking about birds and then books.

Then, Jason got creepy, bringing up 50 Shades of Gray. He thought it was romantic. Jessica thought it was “very cheesy, trashy, and stupid.”

Jessica said that he should read The Art of Racing in the Rain but not watch the movie. Jessica and Jason engaged in a deep philosophical conversation about connecting with others and soft skin.

Jessica: “50 Squirts of Lotion? I think it’s a good book.”

Jason asked Jessica to cancel the shipment because she didn’t check the box that indicated a signature is required. He begged and begged but she wouldn’t try to stop it.

Jessica: “Listen, you Cheerio-brain. There is no return address.”

She said she would call the post office and see what she could do.

When we spoke to Jason again, Jessica told him that the post office was closed and she would see what she could do tomorrow morning. He said to have them return the parcel to the post office so she could send it correctly.

But he was very worried that she wouldn’t remember what to do, so he wrote a list of steps for her. But Jessica said she does better with visual aids. So, they used Paint to illustrate each step in detail.  (shown below)
