Spammer replies…

Well I checked my mailbox tonight and I had a bit of a surprise waiting for me. Care of this post, I wrote about the man who had a friend of mine who was going to be a cousin and he died etc. He replied.

madam,

Good day to you.I really undrstand your bitterness towards certain individuals who have decided to fraudulently siphon other peoples hard earned money.you might wonder why i chose to reply from this address but be rest assured that as much as you dont want to lose your money to scammers so also do i not want to lose (mine).Ma,it is quite unfortunate that i happen to bear the same name with a fraudulent impostor;i also want to thank you for informing me becos i might have to desist from using that screen name since miscreants have soiled it and put my good name to disrepute.

Oh boy, I started giggling when I read this paragraph. It’s obvious that he didn’t search google often enough to see other people are pasting his emails, all about similar things and all calling him a scam artist. Here’s the thing, he’s offering me money, but he is saying, yes i can see you don’t want to lose your money to scammers? Where did i need to give him money? Maybe I should reply

It is true that i have sent mails to different individuals informing them about my client’s demise and his wealth but i have never defrauded anybody and i dont intend doing so either now or in the nearst future.It is all in my bid to get a sincere and honest individual who can help me in this transaction that i searched the net.

Ok that’s fine, but I would like to know how he got my email address.

I have looked for any of his relatives to no avail before i started looking for somebody to help me in this transaction. You sound like a very intelligent young lady and i wish marriage were possible but you also sound like a rascist.

So because I mentioned we might be the wrong colour I am now racist? Was he assuming I was going to be white? What if I am chinese? He never mentioned nationality of my dead cousin. It’s nice that he thinks I am intelligent.

You can reach me through this address with your personal contacts let us reason together like two matured minds.This is my personal address but i plead with you to keep it to yourself(internet thieves abound).

OK.. so I can reach him through this email address.. and he wants it kept secret? Hands up who wants his email address here it is: d_henry@walla.com I find it laughable that he’s talking about internet thieves..

I believe we can reach a mutual compromise and maybe smile to the bank if you care.
i remain

Not sure what he remains, but I guess yes, he does. I’ll send off my reply and see what happens next :D

      This is tantamount to an affair online. Almost.

      if i was married or attached it might be :P

      He replied, and wants to meet me on yahoo! chat, however, i don’t think I will. A joke is a joke until it gets too personal and this is definitely heading into the too personal territory now.

      Totally off the topic, but I see you’re using word press now. Any chance of giving us the RSS feed address for this site? Would help me to keep up to date with it./

      Wordpress should automatically make it for you. Look in the help section!

      i did.

      have i not blogged about my inability to understand help files, tax packs and filling out forms?

      i can navigate, drive cars through small spaces, program VCR’s, and put together an IKEA piece of furniture - but i am unable to read forms/help files etc.
