I am sitting at an internet cafe, a regular haunt, and am starting to become a bit paranoid.
They are right outside our front door, and I have been coming here everyday for a month.
At first we thought the guys that work here were funny. They sit behind their desk, so low so only their eyes peer above the counter. It is peculiar.
While we're paying they don't actually speak - they grunt and nod, and sometimes they're not even there at all...
A funny place.
I just went up to the counter and discovered to my horror that the owner was writing up a spam email. You know, the ones that start off with:
"Dear SIR
I have great business opportunity for you please consider investing in zebra banking we offer interest free loan just pay fee of $50 into our bank account at zebra bank
...That kind of crap.
And they are always on the phone - I always got the impression they ran some kind of business.
I am a little weary about the information they might have access to, preying on innocent tourists that leave their accounts logged in... Getting access to their blood type, home address, bra size, personal information, etcetera, etcetera.
It's not as scary as Wolf Creek, and I am definitely avoiding the outback, but it is a bit thrilling.
Such badasses on this patch of the globe.
