I voted, I did not click any of them because of how the original question was worded. "Which is NOT...."
Hello, my name in Rasmutin and I live in Kukimainia. BDSM is illegal here so I have no experience. I need an American Dominatrix to teach me. All I need is a few thousand dollars for a plane ticket.
Hello, my name is Aakmed and I live in bumfucked Zimbabwe somewhere. The Mugabe regime took my propertry, everything. Even my copmputer. I am typing this on an Atari 2600 and I hope to the God of all things that this message gets to you, you are my only hope. I have contacted everyone in the world and you are the last one.
Hello, you have won the _________ lottery. Since we have no diplomatic ties with the US, you must pay the taxes of 2000$ before you can recieve the prize of 1,000,000,000$ cash.
Hello, this is Admiral General Ijot A. Kommeersuker. You might not know that your fourth cousin's great nephew's daughter married a soldier named Justin Case Gimme. After the war, he became a successful businessman and you are the only heir (as you consider that you have twelve siblings and four counties full of kin). Please forward your routing number so we can send you your rightful inheritance. You were his favorite and he remembered you on his deathbed. (even though you never met) Please forward the routing numbers ASAP so that his evil stepsisters do not get the money.
I don't think this is a hijack, and I think we could have some fun with this. What better place to get stupid and write scam letters, never meant to be used of course, but it could be like a contest.
Hello, I am a 21 year old American girl who has been held in a kibbutz for the last three years. I have escaped and am staying with the Palestinians. I need your help to get back to my family in California.
How about we get down with this.
Hello, I am a completely bored housewife and I hate my Husband. I don't want to be his Wife anymore. ANY Man with enough money to get me out of here can have me. But I have selected you out of the whole population of the Earth to be my Master.
People love to be selected, they are conditioned for it. For a sports team, debating team, study group, alot that shit happens in school. When something looks like they are selected, whether they have better judgement or not, may go against better judgement. In a way it preys on hopes and dreams.
But there is one fact alot of people don't realize, scammers are vulnerable to be scammed. One of these days I am going to get one, and I don't care if it is for ten fucking dollars, once I get it in my hot little hand, it is MINE. But I will not scam anyone else.
And few people realize that most advertising is a scam. Get cable, in three months your rate triples, and you are locked into a three year contract. Cellphones used to be like that. You should see the bullshit I had to go through to cancel mine, and I BOUGHT my phone. I had the good version of the Motorola flip phone when they first came out.
I did not want it anymore and tried to cancel. Instead of jumping through the hoops they wanted me to, I simply stopped paying the bill. I know how to call the credit bureau too you know, and tell them it is in contention. What's more I had to negotiate the termination. I stopped paying the bill after trying to cancel, they shutoff the service. So far so good right ?
Well then they are on the phone wanting me to pay for the month that I did not have service plus the cancellation fee. Are you fucking kidding me ? I actually told them straight out "And don't even mention wrecking my credit, I don't need any more". Then they calmed down and the matter was settled.
Internet service can be the same way. How can we even really define scammer if big companuies and public utilities are scammers ? jlf you need another thread, what is a scam ? Instead of what is not a scam, what IS.
Hello, this is Time Warner Cable.
Hello, this is Last Bank of Bumfuct Iowa somewhere, did you know that you can get a reverse mortgage ?
On TV.
You can have this luxurious car that has all the options and gets 99 miles to the gallon with no payments until the year 2020. (______ due at signing, residency requirements apply, this is a closed end lease and will terminate as stated in the fine print. We reserve the right to reposses the vehicle anytime before the payments start. We reserve the right to cancel or modify any contract for the life of the lease. Mileage charges may apply. Customer is responsible for all repairs. Full coverage insurance and $750,000 of liability insurance must be maintained by the customer. We retain the right of option to accelerate at will, as defined in the 1991 revision to the UCC, you may be required to pay all the lease payments in one lump sum at any time)
Or how about truth. You know if you are going to lie you must mix in the truth. I am ______ and have 43 siblings and live in a country you would never think of going to or anything. We have no computers, but at school we are taught English and get to use a computer there. Please adopt me.
More truth.
I am a computer nerd who figured out how to harvest email addresses. Sitting on my ass all the time I have gotten fat and can't do any physical work anymore, and have no other skills. Please send me money for my next soda and hamburgers.
Or this.
I am from the government, and as you know our policy is to get as much money as we possibly can, do you have any ? If so send it to us.
