Of Revelations And Gods
I received the following email from a scammer the other day, one that was supposed to tug on my heart strings and open my gullible benevolence. It was a request from an Emily Brocksopp, asking for my help in starting an orphanage in her name her. It rambled on for several paragraphs, but this is the gist of it:
Note: This project is 100% genuine and risk free. You should also know that your help would be further needed to help the less privilege and orphans. In setting up an Orphanage Home in favor of my name there in your country, my attorney will guide you through the process. Your suggestions are very much welcomed in this project and I am very impressed by the manner with which you have written to me.
The "manner" I rewrote her original email -- and sent her a copy of, of course -- went something like this, to give you an idea of the degree of full of sh** the scammer is:

Subject: Help For The Less Privilege
Please pay no attention to the email title here. Because I don't give a rat f**k about the less privileged in this world. F**k them. If they're too f**king lazy to get off their fat asses and get jobs, then they deserve to be less privileged and live in their own self-imposed misery.
