The E. Berkley - Firmly believes that getting naked for the cameras will help his scamming career, even though it's never been proven to work in the past.

Indeed "The Holy Mother of God" may be a more appropriate name for this species.

and

The Inflicted: Has some rare and unexplainable disease they have invented for the purpose of the scam that only $'s can cure. Perhaps related to the Lazarus and may eventually evolve into a Zombie if $'s are not forthcoming, perhaps leaving the scam to be picked up by a Legal Eagle.

Almost fogot some.. I can't believe it myself.

The Indiana Jones: Adventuresome safari lad, usualy to be found penniless, begging for a lift in some "Moto Pak" 1000's of miles away from home.

The Arrival Lobby Greet Service: Often found hanging around some grotty airport for a non-existant person to show up, holding a card with the name "MRS. KANYE TOSSMEOFF"

The Phoney: Insists on talking to his mark on the phone before going anywhere.

The Bringer of Death: Threatens to kill the mark if they don't pay, or if they suspect they've been played. Particularly common amongst hitman scammers, whose threats to kill you by the end of the week still fail to materialise months down the line.

The Checkbook: Spells out monetary values in capitals, this spammer also shows the same behaviour as the Capitalist and probably related to the Elaborator.

Quote:

The Chauvinist - shows disrespect towards single women

Quote:

And following the London financial policy, I have to present you as Mrs. by now because; it is more difficult to get such legal approval for an inheritance to one that is not yet married. Reasons are because, for the safety of such inheritance, the British government will put up a federal financial adviser to manage her fund. But while you are assumed to be a Mrs., it is believed that the affected is matured to handle her inheritance by her self.

The Bigot - insults the disabled

Quote:

The Homophobe - hates male gays

You know what they say about guys who are extremely anti-gay, they usually like a bit of back door action themselves!!!

^^^ Teddy went boing Embarassed

@ Yastreb - that's not from Cancerous Mole by any chance? Be nice to know. But eeewww! Surely lads aren't misogynistic neanderthals when they happily lick the left over food from the mouths of corpses? Always figured them to be sooo worldly and thoroughly inclusive types.

Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 1:49 am

Showgirls was so bad a movie that it was un-erotic.

@Dogsbum - that misogynist bit was from a Collins Daran back in June 2007. Here's something to clarify:

Nice one belker, was getting worried this post had been Hijacked by the "immoral" authority Wink

I'm soon going to be compilling all this good data into a spammer family tree.

The Orator: Writes e-mails as if they are making speeches to the Roman senate.

Hmm, some strange behaviour has been observed. A 'self-baiter' evolving into an 'Indiana Jones', we may soon see the final stage of this evolution, the scammer becoming 'a weary traveller'.

Quote:

Personally, I think I should travel to Ghana to have a face to face negotiations regarding to the matter with the land-lords, Also I assure that we shall go about it in a legitimate procedure. I wait your instructions to enable arrange a visit from Cotonou Benin Republic to Accra Ghana.

Another scammer species perhaps,
The Freudian: Those little pervy feelings you have just slip out on occasion, don't they just Razz

Quote:

Should I tell her that the dog she gave me is now dead ? She licked that dog very much.:

What, before or after it was dead?
Was the licking anything to do with the cause of death?
What does 'dead dog' taste like ?

New scammer genus maybe:

The Under-Estimator Completely underestimates things like weights, measures and distances in his scam e-mails.

Quote:

I want you to write Mr. Mario Belfiore now (<snip>@gmail.com), who is the clearing agent consultant of the British Airways, London in charge of your luggage containing the $5.2m. Tell him that I have notified you that your luggage containing your valuable items is with him in his custody for you and demand for his personal phone number to reach him.

"$5.2 million in notes is well over your luggage allowance sir, your extra weight charge comes to $6.3 million dollars, will that be cash or cheque?"

Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 9:53 am

I've added the full list at the top of this post.

Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 2:34 pm

Worryingly a new genus may be eveolving:
The Techie: A scammer who uses technology in his scams, like adding links for you to inadvertantly click on in his emails

The Rampant Inflator; offers sums in the billions rather than millions (of US$)

Princess into Frog; the first letter is a romance-type come-on, but it soon segues into a regular orphan scam.

Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 9:49 pm

Nice ones Yastreb, they go on the masterlist.
