Is There Any Help In This Thread?

Within a scant few emails, one scammer was seeking to know if my character was going to help her or not.

Them of you what knows me -- and by association, my characters -- nothing further need be said.

But that'd be no fun.

Let's start with her opening email:


Please forgive this interrupt, but I need to discuss importance with you.  Please respond.  


Her name was Sandra Larry.  Or his name was Larry Sandra.  I wasn't sure so I had my character inquire:

Is you Sandra Larry or Larry Sandra? 


I knowd I had a bright bulb on the other end with this:

I could have put a lot of effort into screwing with this, but truth be told, I was every bit as bored as y'all by the time I was a paragraph into it.  So I just decided to see how long she'd hang with these kinds of replies:


I cannot help a woman with a man's last name.  Sorry.   Even if you do have boobs.

Everybody in this world  have his or her last name as their fathers name so tell me what name did you want me to have as last mane  

She also lacks a proper spellchecker...but eh:


A horse has a mane.  Are you a horse? 

Do not be silly with me.  This is serious yes?  

It could be...if you have a mane, you're a horse.  A horse is a horse of course of course.  If you're not a horse, you have no mane.  You mentioned a mane.  Which is it?  


ARE READY TO HELP ME OR NOT TELL ME PLEASE  


Help? You need somebody... Help? Not just anybody.. Help? You know you need someone... Help!  

WHAT IS UR PLAN ABOUT ME JUST TELL ME  


My plan, Ms Sandra with man's last name or mane...if you have a mane, I'll saddle and ride you.  If you don't we'll discuss more practical applications for what you seek.  


I WRITE TO YOU FOR HELP AND YOU JOKE AT ME.  WHY?  


I'm just trying to establish your bona fides or bona rides, based on your email responses.  You brought up a mane, not me.  Why do you horse with me?  

I AM NOT HORSE WITH YOU!!!  IF YOU ARE NOT TO HELP ME PLEASE SAY THIS!


This!  


WHAT DO YOU MEAN?  


Go back and read your last email to me.


ARE YOU GOING TO HELP OR NOT?     


Or not.  


YOU DISAPOINT ME  


You're right...I did.  And I won't reappoint you or your FAIL of a spell checker.  


I THINK YOU SHOULD STOP WRITE TO ME.  


I think so too.  When should I stop?  Immediately or gradually, as I seem to have grown on you.  


STOP!!!!


Okay, gradually...since I seem to have grown on you.  


I'm amused she lasted that long.  The horse appeared to enjoy it too.
