Must Love Scams


We really pity the naïve kids who actually fall for JDATE’s Splenda-coated promises (have you seen the blond beauties gracing the Times SQ billboard? We double dare you to find UWS pampered chosen-pooches with such Christie-Brinkley features). But its even sadder when families permit their geriatric matzo-ball-slaves to play online, resulting in heartbreaking scams where bubbes lose $100,000 and crush Diane Lane & John Cusack's retardedly unrealistic work of art.

"Lynn is a photojournalist for a social service organization who had lost her husband to leukemia in 1982 and was seeking a long-term partner. She and the elder Sarner hooked up on Jdate.com…[and he] allegedly claimed to be Jonny Micheels, a widower who worked in investment banking, dabbled as a graphic artist and owned two horses.

I don't like false or dishonest people," he allegedly E-mailed Lynn. "I have attached a grungy [sic] picture of myself, taken after two weeks at sea."

On their first date at the Cafe des Artistes restaurant on the upper West Side, Sarner pitched a get-rich-quick deal for a company on the verge of curing leukemia, according to prosecutors. Within a month, Lynn allegedly gave Sarner three checks totaling $100,000."

An upscale French restaurant should have been clue #1 that your virtual Don Juan isn’t what he claims to be: a Jew. (Raging Clue #2 shouldve been the “sensitive, artsy, romantic investment banker looking to cure diseases” bait). Seriously, when will Murdoch buy out JDATE and make an honest social network of those Jew-wannabes?

Matzvah? Is that like a good deed you put in soup?
 
Let me just state for the record what our editorial policy is: Blottered is written by, for, and about Jews.

Good Shabbos, everyone.
 
funny... Andy, my company is talking with JDATE about a promo campaign. We were pitching a 'digital yenta' kind of thing. I'll keep you posted.
 
anonymous = Chris in San Francisco
 
And here I thought all this time that Jdate was a dating service for journalists!
 
Whoa edgy humor! How subversive and yet beguilingly hip to incorporate Jewish stereotypes into an article written by and for Jews, as Krucoff proudly asserts. Wow, reclaiming offensive slurs and stereotypes is so effin cool, yo! There's nothing quite like the faint stench of self-loathing in the morning. How about we next post pictures of Grandma taking tequila shots while licking salt off from her Holocaust tattoo? Or hey maybe a nice warm group picture of all you guys draped in a cuddly (and absolutely reclaimed!)Nazi flag? OOOohh, I need to go wipe my keyboard. I always jack off to Jews selling out their own people. Heh heh.
 
Fantastic ideas. Got any pics? We'd love to have you on board. You sound like a great person to hang around with on a Friday or Saturday night. Let's go to the Lower East Side!
 
jdate is crap, signed up for just a month because I was going on deployment, and then 4 months later I'm able to get onto the internet to check my account, and jdate was charging me every month...jdate is about making money..not about service...
