We've never met, but I want a romantic relationship with you.

I used to get these in Instant Messages through AIM. You'd get a random IM saying something like, "Hi, how're you??" When you sent a reply, it would instantly auto-reply with a porn site link.

There were also some that employed chatbots, which were programmed to gently lead the conversation up to providing a link to a webcam, and were intended to give the reader the impression that it was a real person giving you a personal invite. They had certain trigger words that would bring up pre-set bits of conversation, and I got hundreds of these, all using the same bot. I once asked, "Are you a bot?" and it said, "Not hardly, babe! Are you?" I soon figured out that I could put 'bot' in anything.
"You're sexy and I'd like to bot you"
"Not hardly, babe! Are you?"
"I like to bot and roll all night!"
"Not hardly, babe! Are you?"
"Bot, bot, bot"
"Not hardly, babe! Are you?"
If one was bored, they could be dragged out for a while and would sometimes eventually shut off.

(The reason these were necessary was that AIM had a provision that'd cancel any first IM that contained a link, so they had to get the user to reply first and THEN they could auto-send the link!)

The ones on AIM all used screen names with "Megan" in them. HotMegan, CamMegan, SexFiendMegan, ADoseOfMegan, NewBoobsMegan, MegansFine, MegansHome, Love4Megan, MeganHCaplin, MeganBrooks, etc. (I f=got so many that I made a list with each new one - ended up with over 40 of 'em) Is Megan somehow a very porny sounding name? I didn't get it.

My boyfriend AND my best friend T get these types, real girls, really trying. The girls I call "Collectors"

They never met, only talked once or twice online, suddenly they're in love.

My boyfriend is Korean, and T is Japanese, both are very good looking, even if not traditionally, and a lot of girls who love Korean boybands and Japanese anime who are not in touch with reality think that they deserve a Korean or Japanese guy, and go after ANY of them, taken or not, and that they are all such good man just because of their blood based off the media. (In case with my boyfriend, girls get disappointed cause he is one of the biggest cold jackasses to strangers xD, T is just sweet all the way but has been put off often)

Disclaimer; Not all people who like these things are like that, I know that.

I wish it was the pornsite fishers doing it instead.

I have started going to the facebook page of anybody who sends me a friend request. Usually can tell if they are porn bots that way. I have stopped just accepting any friend request that comes in. If I don't know you, either send me a PM and explain how I know you, or there is the door. *laugh*

I've never accepted a friend request without investigating the requestor.

Most of the time, however, it's people who want to be my game-friend, which has a special, low-access group on my account.

I got a Facebook Friend request from some woman whose name I don't know. I ignored it. Then I got another a few days later. I checked her page. Nope, name and face don't ring a bell, but I'm forgetful. Sent her a note saying, basically, "I don't THINK I know you, but you're sending me Friend requests. If you DO know me, remind me? If you don't, for what reason are you trying to Friend me?" No response. Shrugged, accepted the request, sent her a similar note, and got no response. In fact, I got nothing at all from her for a few weeks, not one single comment or response. Finally Unfriended her. Nothing since. Very strange.

Check to see if her page has anything on it. It's possible it's a spam account just out to collect friends and, more importantly, their contact info.

Yeah, that would be my guess as well Andara.
