You know how people are too, those messages probably started off real casual then he just dropped it on them.
“Greetings, I’m your neighbor from up the street and wanted to introduce myself. With all of the crime in the city I thought it would be good if we all knew each other and had each other’s contact information. I’m a mechanic in town and I’ve been here about 4 years. I noticed on your farm while I was driving by one of you tractors seemed to blow black smoke, that could be a sign of engine failure. It’s the red one by the barn. I can take a look at that if you want and maybe we can get to know each other a little better as I have many question on farming. You have a light brown stallion I would like to know about as I’ve always had an interest in them since I was a little boy. Anyways can I have sex with your horses and cows? I’ll pay you.
