I don't mind pre-scripted lads, but I do wish they'd use a but of intelligence when using their scripting kits, and fill in the blanks in a way that makes them look a little more authentic. It's an insult to my intelligence to expect me to believe this.

I haven't posted this to the Images forum, because it's not a trophy, just an example of an incompetent scammer:

Mr Mayor Akim is a lazy scammer. After a long opening email that cluded these passages:

Quote:

HAVE A GREAT DAY. YOURS, mr mayor ak1m

He hasn't been bothering much.

I will be honest, there are only 3 lads that I have ever seen NOT be lazy.

There was a scam email I received once from someone purporting to be Robert S. Mueller, who if I remember correctly used to be the head of the Seattle FBI branch.

The email sent to me read so perfectly that there were a few moments in which I actually considered the fact that it was real. Then a did a few searches on Google and found a copy of the email on a scam reporting site.

The vast majority of scammers aren't like that, though. In a lot of ways that is good, because the more legitimate the letters are, the more likely someone is to fall for it.

Be happy these lads are lazy.
