Feeling frivolous and a bit bored the other day, I responded to with this:-

I am Bishop xxxxxx of the Ministry Under God's Union.
I would be most eucalyptised to help you and will look forward to taking
you to the cleaners at the earliest opportunity.
You can be sure I am an honest man, as a man of God, I promise to fleece you as soon as look at you.
Yours in God

Today I get - THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS etc etc etc -

They don't even look, do they?

most often, not.. you will probably get a canned form email in response.

No, they don't. Or they might (just might) check that you're appearing to say something like "yes" rather than something like "F* off you scamming B*". There is only one reason to write more than a single sentence in the first response - so you can slap them later for not reading it.

I have replied with e-mails that contain nothing at all, and they still send the second script.

I've just got an Arab, so I sent him a load of:

@chc74. Thanks for using Eucalyptize. Its caught on more than I thought.

I recently had his conversation with a vladette.

Quote:

Lovely, but unfortunately, the holiday was saddened with one
accident. At our family happened to mountain... So it is difficult for
me for you to write now about it. I cannot of anything the friend to
think, except for as about this incident. With my mum there was a big
misfortune... She{It} on Saturday (on December, 23) was brought down
with the car on the big speed when she{it} passed street on surburb of
city. At it{her} numerous bruises, grazes and two crises on the left
leg{foot} (shin) and the right hand. And also a dislocation of a wrist
on same right hand. She{it} now is in city hospital. This message has
strongly shaken my soul! When I have arrived to traumatologic branch,
I have strongly begun to cry, having seen my mum in such condition. I
cannot transfer you my condition at present. You probably will
understand, what feelings are tested by the person when with close
there is a misfortune or it{he} dies.

It was followed by standard send me money for sick Mom modality. So I wrote back..

Quote:

Dearest Elena.
I am sorry to hear about your mum, but she probably deserved it. I hope she suffers
Tell me where to send payment

I like to give them schizo responses, saying I hope she suffers, but Ill send money anyway. Wink

To make translation, you need to find the
nearest branch of the Western Union. Branches
of the Western Union are in all countries.
Everything, that is necessary for you to send
money, this my name (Elena Popova) and the
country (Russia). I shall be grateful to you
for any rendered help. I beg you to help my mum,
for the sake of the Christ and for the sake of
our friendship. With a holiday of Christmas!!!
Yes God will help us. It is many - many kisses...
Sincerely, Elena.

This shows that most of the time they dont understand, or don't read the emails. I think this one uses a translator, so, probably doesnt understand what I am saying...

I use it in every bait. I haven't had a lad use it back to me yet, but I've had a couple of

LOL! Not surprising, they don't read anything in first e-mail unless they contain $ signs. Laughing

I addressed my lad with the wrong name. It's one of my bait kit scripts, but I forgot to change the name... just like a lad. My lad accepted it without reading the name... he only read the $cholarship money amount.

Do they not just cut and paste answers in the first few responses?

Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 11:02 pm

I've had them catch me before when I accidentally sign with another character's name late in the bait.

Other than that, for the first week or so you might as well be talking to a post.

I also try to use "eucalyptize" in every bait.

I usually respond to first emails with;

Quote:

I am a plank of wood.

Quote:

Yes.

And when I'm feeling extra creative I write,

Quote:

.

They always answer.

Sometimes I don't think they are even trying anymore..

I was going to use that one too, but I soon got board.

^^^^ OUCH!!!

I know most lads are thick as a plank, but come on....

That was bad!!

^^^ your puns are getting a bit wooden yastreb.

I know, they're knot funny, but it does go against the grain. Not that I want to lumber you with any more.

Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:08 pm

Any more of this and I won't log on again - unless I can think of a pun that has you all stumped...

Oops, gotta go, more trunk boxes to read about...

*sigh*

PWT ressurects itself as random appearing Pun Whore Threads

Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:26 pm

Oh come on, enough of the wood jokes, its just so against the grain of this thread.....

Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:31 pm

The Pun Whore Thread has branched out.

Watch out, it will only be a matter of time until one of the mod twig and tell us all to leaf it out.

Here's hoping they can get to the root of the problem....

Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:32 pm

Callum and Gold Dalek have a point, this is knot funny...

Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:35 pm

A mod is going to come in here barking orders to get knotted and stop planking around...

(okay okay, this is getting difficult now to come up with some good ones!!)
