		<description>i've been contacted by the same gmail address that cindylu mentioned, ldavis249. this person contacted me under the guise of a casting agent and asked me for the same sort of photos (of feet!). this person also claimed that a colleague, emily, added my promotional facebook page (never got a friend request from said emily). @_@</description>

		<description>It's happened to me with 2 different gchat names and over a year apart. Initially, I just thought it was a friend messing with me, but never went through with it 'cause it was just too weird. No one does an assignment like this. The last few times I've decided to play along to see what kind of pictures they wanted. 

 ldavis249:  i'm still working on my thesis
and i really need your help to finish
can you please help me ?
 Sent at 3:30 PM on Thursday
 me:  what's your thesis about?
 ldavis249:  i can only tell you when we start to do the interview :)
 me:  ok
 ldavis249:  ok so do you remember the requirement for the assignment?
 me:  no
 ldavis249:  so the requirement is to get the friend to take photos involving their feet
then we do the interview after that
 me:  ok
 ldavis249:  ok so i'll list the required photos now
and you have to take the photos and send them now
ready?
 Sent at 3:35 PM on Thursday
 me:  ok
 ldavis249:  great
ok there are 6 required photos
they are
1. a pic of your soles (sit on the ground, extend your legs to the camera so that your soles are directly facing the camera)
2. a pic of the tops of your feet
3. a pic of your face and your soles (sit just like in #1, but show your face and soles in the same pic)
4. a pic of your face and the tops of your feet (sit on the ground, bring your knees up and point your toes toward the ground so that all 10 toenails are facing the camera)
make sense so far?
 me:  yes
 ldavis249:  ok for 5 and 6, you have to lay on your stomach
with your knees bent 90 degrees
so that your toes are pointing directly to the sky
and your soles are facing your head
in that position
5. a pic of your soles
6. a pic of your face and your soles
make sense?
 me:  yes
 ldavis249:  ok for all 6 pics, there are important ground rules
1. both feet (and when applicable, face) have to show clearly and completely in every photo
so no portion of either foot can be cut out, blocked or blurry at all
2. get plenty of lighting on your face and feet
3. all mistake shots have to be sent as well
and as my prof says, everyone takes mistake shots
and she's right, even i've seen that
4. none of the pics can be resized or altered at all
and finally
5. smile!!</description>

		<description>I actually had someone contact me using this EXACT SAME STORY just today.  While they were trying to get me all the information about the photos they "needed", I started Googling the e-mail address and the context of the conversation, and found your website.  I believe that the person is also using a fake FB page under the name ASHLEY WILLIAMS.  I was contacted via the e-mail address jenand2345@gmail.com .  I have reported the FB page to the admin, and have blocked the Gmail address from my G-chat.</description>

		<description>Hey Guys, 

Yeah I never reported it because I didn't really know what was up, but it appears someone is abusing the school directory. It has to be someone with access to the school directory. Not sure who to report this to. Maybe someone in Security in the school's IT department?

B-)
jenand2345: i wish i had the day off :)
so do you know who this is? ;)
me: jen :)
jenand2345: nope! haha
we're friends!
but i'm not allowed to tell you who i am just yet lol
we're good friends
and i have an assignment for a class that i need your help on
and as part of the assignment, i'm required to tell you who i am :)
me: you are required to tell me or not required
jenand2345: sorry not required lol
and then
once i submit my assignment
i'm required to tell you then
me: ooooooooook?
jenand2345: ok so this is a really silly assignment
so you have to be ready to be really silly, ok?
me: hmmm i dunno
its difficult when i don't know who this is
jenand2345: trust me bree, we are friends
and this assignment is totally harmless
and fun
me: how do i know that thouhgh?
tell me something about myself
jenand2345: ok here's all i'm allowed to say
we're friends from harding
lol
me: ok
Sent at 4:26 PM on Monday
jenand2345: ok so are you ready to be silly?
me: i guess so :/
:-/
jenand2345: aww come on bree, you're always silly!
me: well hurry up and ask me questions so I can find out who you are already!!
:)
jenand2345: haha, ok
ok so first let me give you some background
Sent at 4:29 PM on Monday
jenand2345: so this assignment is intended to be off the wall
there is a task and an interview
first some background
we are required to select friends to participate in the assignment based on specific criteria
the criteria for this assignment is to select friends that appear barefoot in a photo
and of course it goes without saying that you meet the criteria lol
me: what picture is it? at the beach?
jenand2345: well this one isn't at the beach
ok so once we have found friends who meet the criteria, we are required to get them to do a specific task
that's there the silly part comes in
the task for this assignment is to get them to take pics of their feet lol
then there's an interview
and the interview is a LOT of fun btw
you will LOVE the interview
the once i submit my write up
i'm required to tell you who i am and share the results of the interview with you
me: this is weird
why cant you tell me who you are first?
what if you are some creeper dude with a foot fetish?
haha
jenand2345: hahaha
me: what kind of class at harding would have you do this?
jenand2345: that's so gross!!
bree trust me we are friends
and this is for an assignment
me: ok but how do i know that?!?!!
jenand2345: i didn't say this class was at harding
we know each other from harding
me: ok well then you couldve just looked at my facebook and seen that i went to harding
jenand2345: i'm not looking at your facebook girl
we are friends from harding!
me: ok tell me something that will make me believe you!!!
what would you do if a random person messaged you asking for pictures of your feet without telling you who they are?
ive got some good lookin feet, i cant just give out the goods like that with out knowing who it is!
jenand2345: hahaha
actually i had a friend who had this class before me
so i did it
i mean it's just feet
we always show our feet in public
and i found out who she was
me: huh?
who who was?
jenand2345: someone you dont know
Sent at 4:39 PM on Monday
me: so someone i dont know had a weird class not at harding and you are duplicating an assignment they had? how did you get my email address
jenand2345: no i'm taking the same class that they took last year
i got your email address because we're friends
and i have your email address
me: hahahahahah this is crazy
send me a picture of your foot first hahahaha
jenand2345: if i do, you will immediately figure out who i am
but tell you what
if you help me out
i'll send you the pics i took for my friend
me: why because you have webbed feet??
jenand2345: LOL
do you have a friend with webbed feet?
me: what pics for what friend? why would i want pictures of other peoples feet?
maybe i do maybe i dont
so many wuestions
questions
jenand2345: lol
bree, please stop being difficult!
just take a short leap of faith and help your friend out!
i really need your help
me: what class is this for
help me out first
you have to admit this is weird
jenand2345: of course it's strange
it's intentionally meant to be strange
that's the entire point of the assignment
ok so i'll tell you if you can get it in 3 guesses :)
lol
and i'll give you only one hint
the interview is the most important part of the whole assignment
me: psychology?
Sent at 4:46 PM on Monday
jenand2345: nope
close
(i shouldn't have said "close")
me: sociology
jenand2345: yah!
wow that's impressive
i have to get 10 friends to participate
me: ok what college
jenand2345: you're the first one who got it in the 2nd guess
me: since all of them asked what class, and you said you get 3 guesses? how convenient
this is weird
jenand2345: no, not everyone has asked
6 friends have participated out of 10 so far
and 3 people have asked
me: was is hard to convince then to go along with it?
jenand2345: nope
you are seriously the only person who has given me a hard time
me: did you happen to ask any of them for pictures of other body parts besides feet?
lol
jenand2345: uhhh, what do you mean?
me: im just saying its crazy that so many people would send pictures of themselves to a stranger without any coersion
are you a girl
jenand2345: bree, this isn't porn girl
lol
omg what do you think?
me: some people like feet!
i dont know!!! all i know is this is fucking weird
did you send your feet pic yet?
hahah
why would i know immediately?
are u black? are you fat? are you missing a toe?
jenand2345: hahah
trust me, you would know
me: i think ive made it quite clear that i dont trust you yet
no offense, but come on
tell me something that will assure me that we are actually friends
jenand2345: all i'm allowed to tell you is that we're friends
that we are friends from harding
that this is for a class
and my gender
other than that, i'm not allowed to tell you anything that could narrow down who i am
me: and you made a fake gmail
so youre a girl then?
jenand2345: seriously, what do you think?
lol
me: I DONT KNOW!!!
you keep saying that but you havent said yes i am or no im not
jenand2345: yes i am!
me: ok great, where are the foot pics i asked for?
jenand2345: bree i can't send you mine yet
me: my bf is sitting here telling me not to do it. its just weird. maybe if youd facebook chatted me it wouldve been different, but i guess then id know who you are and thats against the law in your "class"
jenand2345: lol on "class" in quotes
breeeee
i neeeed your help!
me: why me??
jenand2345: because we're good friends
and because once i start with a friend
i'm required to finish with them
me: whats the name of my boyfriend
jenand2345: if you don't help me, i'll get a bad grade
me: so the grade is on how well you convince me of something?
jenand2345: michael
me: youre learning how to manipulate in this "class"?
hmmmm
jenand2345: omg i'm not trying to manipulate you :(
me: whats my pets name? answer fast
3
2
1 1/2
jenand2345: freshy fresh lol
me: lol wow you are a fucking stalker
jenand2345: bree, PLEASE trust me
me: ok ok
jenand2345: yay!
thanks bree :)
ok so there are 6 required pics
me: daaaaang
jenand2345: so i'll list them all now
and then i'll tell you some ground rules
and then you have to take them now and send them now
ready for the list?
me: yep
jenand2345: great!
ok here are the 6 required pics
1. a pic of your soles (sit on the ground and extend your legs toward the camera so that your soles are directly facing the camera)
2. a pic of the tops of your feet
3. a pic of your face and your soles (for this pic, sit on the ground and extended your legs so that your soles are directly facing the camera)
4. a pic of your face and the tops of your feet (for this pic, just sit on the ground, and bring your knees up and point your toes toward the ground so that all 10 toenails are directly facing the camera)
ok so far?
me: you have got to be kidding me
what are the others
jenand2345: ok for 5 and 6, you have to lay on your stomach with your knees bent 90 degrees so that your toes are pointing directly to the sky and your soles are facing your head
in that position
5. a pic of just your soles
6. a pic of your face and your soles
make sense?
me: no it doesnt make sense at all
jenand2345: ok so here's what you do for 5 and 6
lay on your stomach
me: no
jenand2345: what
me: i understand what youre asking for but i just cant bring myself to send pictures of myself laying on the floor to a stranger
:( sorry
jenand2345: ok you dont have to do pic #6 then, ok?
me: im not going to do any of them, it is too weird and creepy.
jenand2345: omg girl
bree i really need your help
me: you said the pictures were of my feet, and now its legs and face too?
jenand2345: this is just your feet
look
here's a pic of your feet on facebook
 
for the whole world to see
and there's this pic: 
and here's one with your face and your feet
me: you said i wasnt at the beach
jenand2345: that's not the group pic of us that i found that you were barefoot in
my point is that you're perfectly fine with the whole world seeing your face and bare feet
this is no different
me: facebook isnt the whole world
i decide who im friends with
so you were in a barefoot pic with me?
jenand2345: but the very fact that i can see those pics proves that we're friends!
and that you're ok with me seeing hundreds of pics of you
me: not really because i have a bunch of friends that im only friends with to play happy aquarium with
why cant you use the pics you alread y have?
jenand2345: because you have to take pics specifically for the assignment
me: what happens after the pics
jenand2345: i do the interview with you
and you will simply love the interview
me: i need you to answer a couple more questions

me: where did we meet
jenand2345: you are the one who posted that pic
we met at school
and you wrote "yay for pretty toes"
so you were intentionally showing off your toes
me: im not ashamed of my toes, i said they are awesome already
you are asking for pics of my legs and face too
jenand2345: bree, trust me, these will stay strictly confidential
ok?
look at this one

you're showing off a whole lot more than feet

me: to my FRIENDS
jenand2345: and i'm clearly your friend!
me: no not clearly! you are good at looking through my pictures though thats for sure, hacker
if i guess who you are can you tell me im right?
jenand2345: only after the interview
i'm not allowed to confirm or deny any of your guesses
and even if you call me, i'll totally play dumb and make fun of you lol
me: you sending me pictures from my facebook dont prove anything to me at all
jenand2345: it proves that we're facebook friends
and i know your bf and your dog's name
i've clearly proven that we're friends
me: what about my ex boyfriends names from the last few years
if were so close
jenand2345: omg bree!!
i can't believe how much of a hard time you're giving me!!
btw on a total tangen
tangent
i LOVE this dress!!

it's soo cute!
me: answer the question
jenand2345: i'm not allowed to answer anything about you, and i've already lost points for saying your bf's name and your dog's name
me: how convenient
jenand2345: bree, please stop giving me a hard time :(
me: wont you lose even more points if i dont comply?
jenand2345: yah i will
but you wouldn't do that to me :(
me: i dont know who you are
jenand2345: i guarantee you 100% that we're friends!
me: what are my exs names
try just one
jenand2345: you're seriously wrecking my grade
me: or are you just having trouble finding answers on facebook since i delete my exs after the breakups
do you have any tattoos?
random tangent :)
jenand2345: i'm not allowed to answer that
me: how can you be graded on the fact that I dont want to send pictures of myself to a person who wont or "cant" tell me who they are?
jenand2345: that's the whole point of the assignment
me: to get someone to trust you?
but youre losing points because im a skeptic. that isnt your fault.
jenand2345: well believe it or not, the 6 people i've talked to, you're the only one to be this skeptical
me: you really dont know just one of my exs?
we cant be that close then
jenand2345: i'm really not allowed to answer any more questions...
each one i answer, i lose points
and i've already told you 4 things
my school, my gender, your bf and your dog
me: thats better then losing all points dont you think?
jenand2345: that's 5% of my grade
omg bree, look at this: 
me: you didnt tell me your school
jenand2345: bare foot straight in my face
me: I DONT CARE!! I am not ashamed of my feet!
jenand2345: ok then why are you so against helping me??
me: if we are so close, just tell me the name of my last ex boyfriend. 5% isnt that bad. its better then failing.
jenand2345: this isn't cool :(
me: agreed
Sent at 5:34 PM on Monday
me: do you have to turn in this conversation?
how would they know if you told me 5 things? plus, you didnt tell me your school btw
jenand2345: yah i have to submit the entire conversation
me: and you cant tell me my exs name or you lose points?
how many points do you lose if i dont take the photos and do the assignment?
or the interview
jenand2345: if i don't get all 10, i fail
me: hmmm
well whos my ex then?
seriously, i have to get ready for dinner in like 20 minutes
Sent at 5:39 PM on Monday
jenand2345: i can't answer that =(
i seriously can't believe that you wont help me if i don't tell you your ex
after all this
me: why is that hard to believe? i dont know who you are... would you send pictures of yourself to a stranger that easily?
you can find all the information youve given me on facebook.
jenand2345: all i'm asking is for you to take pics that are exactly like pics that you've taken on facebook
nothing more, nothing less
i'm not even asking you to strip down into a bikini like you are in fb
me: im sorry that youre upset, but I am not being unreasonable, i am being cautious.
jenand2345: over feet!
me: and my face
jenand2345: i'm not asking you to do anything lewd
me: no but it doesnt matter
jenand2345: anyone can search for you on facebook and see your face
even if they're not your friend
me: but thats different then me sending you pictures from my email
are you trying to make me feel stupid now? after trying to guilt me, and belittle the request? are those tactics you are being taught in sociology?
sad face, sad face :( :(
jenand2345: look at this
this was your profile pic

me: i dont care. you can obviously see my facebook.
jenand2345: anyone on the planet who searched for you when that's your profile pic
got to see you in a bikini
and saw your boobs and belly button
me: enough with the pictures. yes, I am in thousands of pictures on facebook. noted.
jenand2345: that's 100 times more personal that feet
my point is you put that as your profile pic!
Sent at 5:46 PM on Monday
me: how is that your point? yes it was my profile picture. so what. you want me to pose for 6 pictures and send them to you without knowing who you are. what does that have to with facebook profile pictures?
you could be anyone.
jenand2345: wow you're seriously going to refuse
me: no if you just tell me who my ex is :)
jenand2345: the reason i can't answer 1 more question is because it will take me from an A to a B
i'm not willing to drop 1 full grade letter
me: but you said if you dont get all 10 to cooperate then you fail the whole assignment
that would most likely drop you more than one letter grade correct?
Sent at 5:49 PM on Monday
me: your professor shouldve given you at least room for one person with half a brain to refuse your request.

dinner time!!</description>

Sent at 4:29 PM on Monday<br />
jenand2345: so this assignment is intended to be off the wall<br />
there is a task and an interview<br />
first some background<br />
we are required to select friends to participate in the assignment based on specific criteria<br />
the criteria for this assignment is to select friends that appear barefoot in a photo<br />
and of course it goes without saying that you meet the criteria lol<br />
me: what picture is it? at the beach?<br />
jenand2345: well this one isn&#8217;t at the beach<br />
ok so once we have found friends who meet the criteria, we are required to get them to do a specific task<br />
that&#8217;s there the silly part comes in<br />
the task for this assignment is to get them to take pics of their feet lol<br />
then there&#8217;s an interview<br />
and the interview is a LOT of fun btw<br />
you will LOVE the interview<br />
the once i submit my write up<br />
i&#8217;m required to tell you who i am and share the results of the interview with you<br />
me: this is weird<br />
why cant you tell me who you are first?<br />
what if you are some creeper dude with a foot fetish?<br />
haha<br />
jenand2345: hahaha<br />
me: what kind of class at harding would have you do this?<br />
jenand2345: that&#8217;s so gross!!<br />
bree trust me we are friends<br />
and this is for an assignment<br />
me: ok but how do i know that?!?!!<br />
jenand2345: i didn&#8217;t say this class was at harding<br />
we know each other from harding<br />
me: ok well then you couldve just looked at my facebook and seen that i went to harding<br />
jenand2345: i&#8217;m not looking at your facebook girl<br />
we are friends from harding!<br />
me: ok tell me something that will make me believe you!!!<br />
what would you do if a random person messaged you asking for pictures of your feet without telling you who they are?<br />
ive got some good lookin feet, i cant just give out the goods like that with out knowing who it is!<br />
jenand2345: hahaha<br />
actually i had a friend who had this class before me<br />
so i did it<br />
i mean it&#8217;s just feet<br />
we always show our feet in public<br />
and i found out who she was<br />
me: huh?<br />
who who was?<br />
jenand2345: someone you dont know<br />
Sent at 4:39 PM on Monday<br />
me: so someone i dont know had a weird class not at harding and you are duplicating an assignment they had? how did you get my email address<br />
jenand2345: no i&#8217;m taking the same class that they took last year<br />
i got your email address because we&#8217;re friends<br />
and i have your email address<br />
me: hahahahahah this is crazy<br />
send me a picture of your foot first hahahaha<br />
jenand2345: if i do, you will immediately figure out who i am<br />
but tell you what<br />
if you help me out<br />
i&#8217;ll send you the pics i took for my friend<br />
me: why because you have webbed feet??<br />
jenand2345: LOL<br />
do you have a friend with webbed feet?<br />
me: what pics for what friend? why would i want pictures of other peoples feet?<br />
maybe i do maybe i dont<br />
so many wuestions<br />
questions<br />
jenand2345: lol<br />
bree, please stop being difficult!<br />
just take a short leap of faith and help your friend out!<br />
i really need your help<br />
me: what class is this for<br />
help me out first<br />
you have to admit this is weird<br />
jenand2345: of course it&#8217;s strange<br />
it&#8217;s intentionally meant to be strange<br />
that&#8217;s the entire point of the assignment<br />
ok so i&#8217;ll tell you if you can get it in 3 guesses <img src='http://michelleosorio.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
lol<br />
and i&#8217;ll give you only one hint<br />
the interview is the most important part of the whole assignment<br />
me: psychology?<br />
Sent at 4:46 PM on Monday<br />
jenand2345: nope<br />
close<br />
(i shouldn&#8217;t have said &#8220;close&#8221;)<br />
me: sociology<br />
jenand2345: yah!<br />
wow that&#8217;s impressive<br />
i have to get 10 friends to participate<br />
me: ok what college<br />
jenand2345: you&#8217;re the first one who got it in the 2nd guess<br />
me: since all of them asked what class, and you said you get 3 guesses? how convenient<br />
this is weird<br />
jenand2345: no, not everyone has asked<br />
6 friends have participated out of 10 so far<br />
and 3 people have asked<br />
me: was is hard to convince then to go along with it?<br />
jenand2345: nope<br />
you are seriously the only person who has given me a hard time<br />
me: did you happen to ask any of them for pictures of other body parts besides feet?<br />
lol<br />
jenand2345: uhhh, what do you mean?<br />
me: im just saying its crazy that so many people would send pictures of themselves to a stranger without any coersion<br />
are you a girl<br />
jenand2345: bree, this isn&#8217;t porn girl<br />
lol<br />
omg what do you think?<br />
me: some people like feet!<br />
i dont know!!! all i know is this is fucking weird<br />
did you send your feet pic yet?<br />
hahah<br />
why would i know immediately?<br />
are u black? are you fat? are you missing a toe?<br />
jenand2345: hahah<br />
trust me, you would know<br />
me: i think ive made it quite clear that i dont trust you yet<br />
no offense, but come on<br />
tell me something that will assure me that we are actually friends<br />
jenand2345: all i&#8217;m allowed to tell you is that we&#8217;re friends<br />
that we are friends from harding<br />
that this is for a class<br />
and my gender<br />
other than that, i&#8217;m not allowed to tell you anything that could narrow down who i am<br />
me: and you made a fake gmail<br />
so youre a girl then?<br />
jenand2345: seriously, what do you think?<br />
lol<br />
me: I DONT KNOW!!!<br />
you keep saying that but you havent said yes i am or no im not<br />
jenand2345: yes i am!<br />
me: ok great, where are the foot pics i asked for?<br />
jenand2345: bree i can&#8217;t send you mine yet<br />
me: my bf is sitting here telling me not to do it. its just weird. maybe if youd facebook chatted me it wouldve been different, but i guess then id know who you are and thats against the law in your &#8220;class&#8221;<br />
jenand2345: lol on &#8220;class&#8221; in quotes<br />
breeeee<br />
i neeeed your help!<br />
me: why me??<br />
jenand2345: because we&#8217;re good friends<br />
and because once i start with a friend<br />
i&#8217;m required to finish with them<br />
me: whats the name of my boyfriend<br />
jenand2345: if you don&#8217;t help me, i&#8217;ll get a bad grade<br />
me: so the grade is on how well you convince me of something?<br />
jenand2345: michael<br />

jenand2345: yay!<br />
thanks bree <img src='http://michelleosorio.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
ok so there are 6 required pics<br />
me: daaaaang<br />
jenand2345: so i&#8217;ll list them all now<br />
and then i&#8217;ll tell you some ground rules<br />
and then you have to take them now and send them now<br />
ready for the list?<br />
me: yep<br />
jenand2345: great!<br />
ok here are the 6 required pics<br />
1. a pic of your soles (sit on the ground and extend your legs toward the camera so that your soles are directly facing the camera)<br />
2. a pic of the tops of your feet<br />
3. a pic of your face and your soles (for this pic, sit on the ground and extended your legs so that your soles are directly facing the camera)<br />
4. a pic of your face and the tops of your feet (for this pic, just sit on the ground, and bring your knees up and point your toes toward the ground so that all 10 toenails are directly facing the camera)<br />
ok so far?<br />
me: you have got to be kidding me<br />
what are the others<br />
jenand2345: ok for 5 and 6, you have to lay on your stomach with your knees bent 90 degrees so that your toes are pointing directly to the sky and your soles are facing your head<br />
in that position<br />
5. a pic of just your soles<br />
6. a pic of your face and your soles<br />
make sense?<br />
me: no it doesnt make sense at all<br />
jenand2345: ok so here&#8217;s what you do for 5 and 6<br />
lay on your stomach<br />
me: no<br />
jenand2345: what<br />
me: i understand what youre asking for but i just cant bring myself to send pictures of myself laying on the floor to a stranger<br />
 <img src='http://michelleosorio.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> sorry<br />
jenand2345: ok you dont have to do pic #6 then, ok?<br />
me: im not going to do any of them, it is too weird and creepy.<br />
jenand2345: omg girl<br />
bree i really need your help<br />
me: you said the pictures were of my feet, and now its legs and face too?<br />
jenand2345: this is just your feet<br />
look<br />
here&#8217;s a pic of your feet on facebook</p>
<p>for the whole world to see<br />
and there&#8217;s this pic:<br />
and here&#8217;s one with your face and your feet<br />
me: you said i wasnt at the beach<br />
jenand2345: that&#8217;s not the group pic of us that i found that you were barefoot in<br />
my point is that you&#8217;re perfectly fine with the whole world seeing your face and bare feet<br />
this is no different<br />
me: facebook isnt the whole world<br />
i decide who im friends with<br />
so you were in a barefoot pic with me?<br />
jenand2345: but the very fact that i can see those pics proves that we&#8217;re friends!<br />
and that you&#8217;re ok with me seeing hundreds of pics of you<br />
me: not really because i have a bunch of friends that im only friends with to play happy aquarium with<br />
why cant you use the pics you alread y have?<br />
jenand2345: because you have to take pics specifically for the assignment<br />
me: what happens after the pics<br />
jenand2345: i do the interview with you<br />
and you will simply love the interview<br />
me: i need you to answer a couple more questions</p>
<p>me: where did we meet<br />
jenand2345: you are the one who posted that pic<br />
we met at school<br />
and you wrote &#8220;yay for pretty toes&#8221;<br />
so you were intentionally showing off your toes<br />
me: im not ashamed of my toes, i said they are awesome already<br />
you are asking for pics of my legs and face too<br />
jenand2345: bree, trust me, these will stay strictly confidential<br />
ok?<br />
look at this one</p>
<p>you&#8217;re showing off a whole lot more than feet</p>
<p>me: to my FRIENDS<br />
jenand2345: and i&#8217;m clearly your friend!<br />
me: no not clearly! you are good at looking through my pictures though thats for sure, hacker<br />
if i guess who you are can you tell me im right?<br />
jenand2345: only after the interview<br />
i&#8217;m not allowed to confirm or deny any of your guesses<br />
and even if you call me, i&#8217;ll totally play dumb and make fun of you lol<br />
me: you sending me pictures from my facebook dont prove anything to me at all<br />
jenand2345: it proves that we&#8217;re facebook friends<br />
and i know your bf and your dog&#8217;s name<br />
i&#8217;ve clearly proven that we&#8217;re friends<br />
me: what about my ex boyfriends names from the last few years<br />
if were so close<br />
jenand2345: omg bree!!<br />
i can&#8217;t believe how much of a hard time you&#8217;re giving me!!<br />
btw on a total tangen<br />
tangent<br />
i LOVE this dress!!</p>
<p>it&#8217;s soo cute!<br />
me: answer the question<br />
jenand2345: i&#8217;m not allowed to answer anything about you, and i&#8217;ve already lost points for saying your bf&#8217;s name and your dog&#8217;s name<br />
me: how convenient<br />
jenand2345: bree, please stop giving me a hard time <img src='http://michelleosorio.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
me: wont you lose even more points if i dont comply?<br />
jenand2345: yah i will<br />

me: i dont know who you are<br />
jenand2345: i guarantee you 100% that we&#8217;re friends!<br />
me: what are my exs names<br />
try just one<br />
jenand2345: you&#8217;re seriously wrecking my grade<br />
me: or are you just having trouble finding answers on facebook since i delete my exs after the breakups<br />
do you have any tattoos?<br />
random tangent <img src='http://michelleosorio.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
jenand2345: i&#8217;m not allowed to answer that<br />
me: how can you be graded on the fact that I dont want to send pictures of myself to a person who wont or &#8220;cant&#8221; tell me who they are?<br />
jenand2345: that&#8217;s the whole point of the assignment<br />
me: to get someone to trust you?<br />
but youre losing points because im a skeptic. that isnt your fault.<br />
jenand2345: well believe it or not, the 6 people i&#8217;ve talked to, you&#8217;re the only one to be this skeptical<br />
me: you really dont know just one of my exs?<br />
we cant be that close then<br />
jenand2345: i&#8217;m really not allowed to answer any more questions&#8230;<br />
each one i answer, i lose points<br />
and i&#8217;ve already told you 4 things<br />
my school, my gender, your bf and your dog<br />
me: thats better then losing all points dont you think?<br />
jenand2345: that&#8217;s 5% of my grade<br />
omg bree, look at this:<br />
me: you didnt tell me your school<br />
jenand2345: bare foot straight in my face<br />
me: I DONT CARE!! I am not ashamed of my feet!<br />
jenand2345: ok then why are you so against helping me??<br />
me: if we are so close, just tell me the name of my last ex boyfriend. 5% isnt that bad. its better then failing.<br />
jenand2345: this isn&#8217;t cool <img src='http://michelleosorio.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
me: agreed<br />
Sent at 5:34 PM on Monday<br />

how would they know if you told me 5 things? plus, you didnt tell me your school btw<br />
jenand2345: yah i have to submit the entire conversation<br />
me: and you cant tell me my exs name or you lose points?<br />
how many points do you lose if i dont take the photos and do the assignment?<br />
or the interview<br />

Sent at 5:39 PM on Monday<br />

you could be anyone.<br />
jenand2345: wow you&#8217;re seriously going to refuse<br />
me: no if you just tell me who my ex is <img src='http://michelleosorio.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
jenand2345: the reason i can&#8217;t answer 1 more question is because it will take me from an A to a B<br />
i&#8217;m not willing to drop 1 full grade letter<br />
me: but you said if you dont get all 10 to cooperate then you fail the whole assignment<br />
that would most likely drop you more than one letter grade correct?<br />
Sent at 5:49 PM on Monday<br />
me: your professor shouldve given you at least room for one person with half a brain to refuse your request.</p>
<p>dinner time!!</p>

		<description>so this just happened to me on my gmail account. I was a bit suspicious when they said really silly, so I copied the text into google, found your blog, copied the rest of your conversation in, and then sent it to the person in the chat.
they went all "LOL that isn't me". I expressed that i didn't know anyone who used lol as much as them and disabled the chat... totally weird eh?</description>
