Emmy Friedrichs, a 31-year-old dental consultant in Cincinnati, includes two registries in her profile on Fark.com, a news aggregate Web site, where she uses an online persona. "You can arrange it so that the people who buy you a gift don't see your real name or address," says Friedrichs, who estimates that she has received eight to 10 anonymous gifts from people in the Fark community, including an Ella Fitzgerald CD compilation that cost close to $100.
Why does she think someone would spend so much on her without even knowing her real name? "I think it's usually because somebody likes something I've said in a discussion forum," she says. "But a lot of girls put a beautiful picture up there and play on the socially awkward guys that sometimes populate these forums."
I can't imagine why people would want to do that. I can understand one trying to see if she can get free gifts, but does the guy actually think he has a legit chance by doing that?
Wait...where do I post??? LOL!!! I can just imagine having the UPS man at my door bringing me gifts that were not from my hubby! He would probably call my hubby himself!!!
