Dear Fakes.

I Know Who You Are.

Go ahead!

Live in your sad world by pretending to be

that favourite person that I love;

Go ahead!

Promise me something, then ask

me for money;

You ain't getting a penny!

Go ahead!

Send me messages of adoration,

I'm brainy enough to see through your

defamation!

Go ahead!

Pretend that you know me,

I always catch you out by

asking questions in secrecy,

Go ahead!

Direct me to your fake website,

I know how they work,

That gives me insight,

Go ahead!

Tell me you love me,

It's funny that you

Don't think I might already

know the person you're faking,

And go ahead,

Carry on faking;

Because you don't know,

I'm a detective in the making!

    This feels like a two finger gesture to all the scammers out there. Excellent and punchy!
