Soup Mail For Everyone

I read soup mail from Mrs. Doris Bettencourt
which would be a waste of my time to report
She claims to be ill and wearing widow's weeds
then goes on to tell me all about her needs
I'll not reply and her message I shall thwart

She wants me to email her, but I know it's a trap.
I guess this culprit must think I'm quite a sap.
She has a charity mission which must need money
but not one penny will you get from me, honey.
If you got her mail, don't fall for this scam crap.

The diagnosis is about her chronic illness skin 
Words written backwards and that made me grin
She threw in breast cancer to get more sympathy
I repeat, whoever it is will get nothing from me
Playing upon a person's empathy was the lead-in

Don't write mrsdorisbettencourt1001@gmail.com
This scammer could be in India, Guam or Viet Nam
No poems are posted by the bearer of this name
So, how do they send us soup mail? It's a shame
If I had their real address, I'd send a stink bomb.

Jenna, excellent poem, these kind of people should not be allowed to have accounts on PS, no poems should equal no account. I have this person blocked.

Congratulations well done for taking the time to comment and point this out to others Sadness and preying on vulnerable others seems to be a modern day sport Sadly some poor souls are taken in by these callas heartless con-merchants They are the prey they are seeking

I’ve had a few of these Jenna, although not Mrs Doris Bettencourt, but the same modus operandi, I guess the Soups firewall is not great, if one even exists, but hey you tell it like the exceptional poet you are, and always in straightforward language, thanks for the heads up, cheers David

Great poem alerting all of us about Mrs. Bettencourt, the consummate scammer. This is the second time she has tried pulling at our heartstrings. Disgusting!

She is nuts to think we’d fall for that. Lol at your comment, Annne-Lise.
