Looking an email pal

Hi there! My name is Tesa and by the way I am a female. I am like a major fan of cars! Let me give you the 411 on myself.
I am 15, from Jamaica, but am coming to England after high school. I am in the 10th grade, I am tall and a really nice person. I just hope that we can be mail pals after this.

Now that, to me seems like the obvious evidence of some sort of pervert. Targetting under 20 members, like me A mod could block the IP address?

If this doesnt matter then sorry i was just looking through my PM's.

Really very strange. But I wouldn't take it so seriously. I mean, you got to have the right tires for a rally track, get my point? You should be suspicious, but not too much. Both have their cons if taken too far. If you're overly suspicious, you could have passed on a chance to meet a new friend. If you're overly free and not caring...(we all know what can happen).

Now there are lots of things to be suspicious of here. For example, "Let me give you a 411 on myself" (I've never heard of a 411, but from this i'm assuming it's a personal profile). You can be suspicious of why this person is giving you his/her profile. But you can also fish out the possibility that maybe this person has no friends and is desperate for one, even if it's an online person who he/she has never met. There are endless possibilites, you just have to judge the right ones from the wrong.
