Nappi Posted May 28, 2008 Would a spammer mention his name in the mail? I think not. My favourite is still the one that promised to increase the volume of your sperm by 500% or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted May 28, 2008 There was a guy in America who got one of those "CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU HAVE WON $5,000,000!!!*" letters, took a plane to where the spam mailing company was located in Florida, and of course left disappointed. Several times. Likewise, 419 scammers based in Amsterdam rope enough suckers in that they can get them over there with cash, beat and rob them. http://www.419eater.com/ is good entertainment based on counter-scamming the scammers.

Wrestlevania Posted May 29, 2008 Would a spammer mention his name in the mail? I think not. If it meant suckering one or two extra morons, a spammer would attach pictures of his own grandmother. And "james" is hardly incriminating is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted May 29, 2008 He had me at 'Dear Mr. Sir'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted May 29, 2008 I'm more interested in who his kind assistant is. Is that what the spam is offering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coldkill Posted May 30, 2008 Red Mercury? lol. Some of their e-mails are quite funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted May 30, 2008 Who would have thought the secret of creating philosophers' stone would be avilable by mail order? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted May 30, 2008 Of course! The one place the alchemists didn't look. Also, this one confused me for a while: "Become a fortunate fellow: Hear your lassie cry out with happiness, as you penetrate her harder and more deeply!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger Posted May 30, 2008 ¬¬ Odd how all male sexual enhancers are about enhancing the woman's pleasure, where is the shit to make my orgasm better? I guess the way u sell stuff is to make people insecure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Posted June 6, 2008 Because, Ginger, women are selfish and men are selfless. Don't believe any of the hate filled banshee succubi that tell you otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 9, 2008 Wow, spammers are now bulk-mailing in a vain effort to tap into the Lex Luthor market... I didn't really think that Kryptonite would be of interest to anyone but researchers? Weird. It's not exactly diamonds and gold dust, is it? I will be willing to offer my kind assistant to you 00233247152399 Regards, james So, did you call the number? I wonder if it was actually made by someone who didn't like "James". Kind of the Ghanan equivalent of writing "Free sex, call 00233247152399" on a toilet wall. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twmac Posted June 9, 2008 Done. If anyone goes to the Allnations bar in Melbourne they should see this invite. Fortunately I was not caught doing this as my real name is James too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
