You guys should see the email I get from scammers! OMG. They don't have to make geography mistakes; it's the incorrect phrasing and word misuse.


And you're a girl!!! Not being sexist or anything, but I can bet you I (not because I'm me, but because I'm a man) get 10 for every one you get!! I just had this conversation this morning (or last night). Check out the timestamps!
countryladyflorida33 (02:30:34 AM): Good morning
ocdelguy (02:30:50 AM): Hi there.

Blah, blah, blah...

countryladyflorida33 (02:49:38 AM): I am presently in Spain Barcelona working on my art works but I am stuck here now because My paintings got seized By the customs and Now I don't have any money on me to come back. all I have on me is the check issued to me by a buyer of one of my art works,But Banks here in Spain Barcelona said they don't deal with foreign checks and because of this they wont be able to cash it for me,and right now I am stranded back here in the custody of the customs ,I really need to know if u can be honest to loan me some money


Less than 19 minutes to scam! shocked

Girl, just jump on a plane and come home.
you think if i can leave here i won't be in the state alredy

i have never travel outside the United state

i am unable to access anything here but if i was in the state maybe with you could have been a better chance anyway because i am not a lazy woman here


Same mistake 3 times. Does he mean the "States" Maybe? slaphead

if i can just die here now i think i will be more better off
i will be free from this trouble in the whole of my life

as we speak now i am yet to eat

well friend turned me down anyway life goes on because i don't count my life on a friend cause they only stay when they see things are good with you

In the whole of his life? Yet to eat? Count my life? When has an American EVER said stuff like that?!! rofl

I can have my things left the customs

We can all guess what he means, but like Fifijones says "improper phrasing"!! spock

then what is the solution i don't have any money do you have to help me and i promise i will pay back even if it has to do with me doing anything to pay you back just believe me i will

WOW!!! He'll do anything?? Yay!! I'm going to get laid!! HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!! I DON'T DO GUYS!! rofl



Here's some of the rest of the conversation:

countryladyflorida33 (03:22:41 AM): Can you help me with the money
countryladyflorida33 (03:22:42 AM): ?
ocdelguy (03:23:29 AM): If you're serious about returning home, then this is the way to do it.
countryladyflorida33 (03:23:42 AM): you listen
countryladyflorida33 (03:23:45 AM): Can you help me with the money
countryladyflorida33 (03:23:49 AM): yes or no ?
ocdelguy (03:24:54 AM): You know my position, but if you're serious about returning, then this is your course of action.
countryladyflorida33 (03:25:02 AM): So i know the world we live today is **s**h**i**t** when you an american you see i need ur help and you can at least help me with the money i need ?
ocdelguy (03:26:05 AM): Don't curse. It's not ladylike.
ocdelguy (03:26:28 AM): I still don't see where you need my help!
ocdelguy (03:26:49 AM): You don't need anyone's help.
countryladyflorida33 (03:27:15 AM): even if is any amount i have to give the hotel here
countryladyflorida33 (03:27:19 AM): for even feeding ok
countryladyflorida33 (03:27:25 AM): i can't just leave
countryladyflorida33 (03:27:29 AM): and u better understand now
ocdelguy (03:28:38 AM): I understand, however limited your explanation is, and I just don't see your plight.
countryladyflorida33 (03:28:58 AM): $400 ?
ocdelguy (03:29:37 AM): You can just leave. You can pay your bill after you reach the US.
countryladyflorida33 (03:29:56 AM): let ask you this question
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:11 AM): if they do business with everyone this way how do you think it going to work
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:16 AM): i said i did make a promise
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:23 AM): and i can't break
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:26 AM): dear
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:30 AM): life is too short
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:32 AM): why do u lie
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:36 AM): if you can't help
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:36 AM): fine
countryladyflorida33 (03:30:41 AM): walk ur **s**h**i**t** **a**s**s** off me
if you can't help me with the money then walk your **a**s**s** ok


I'm thinking that in Ghana or Benin or Nigeria, it must be an insult to say "walk your **a**s**s**". I'm guessing he's trying to say: "Go walk your donkey!" like we would say: "Go fly a kite!"

From the begining, I know I'm messaging with some dude in Africa. At the very least, I'm safe in assuming that. The whole hour messaging, I was laughing my A$$ off!! Well, except maybe the first 5 minutes.
You never know...

spock Hmmm... Any of you girls here really guys in Africa? spock Hmmm....

In addition to the non-existent locations, awesome spelling, grammar and sentence construction I also find the pictures that go with these profiles to be quite the contradiction. Oh let's say the profile says 21 but the pictures are of someone in their late 30's, or vise versa. Honestly if I had any say in it, I would be canning these profiles as they are clearly spammers and are only annoying the crap out of the active, REAL members of this site.


21 and the pic is 30?? Maybe you girls get that. Never have I seen a female 20 something profile with a 30 something pic. Now the vice versa part you mention, is all over us guys. I search for 27-33 and the pics (of what appear to be spam profiles) are of girls maybe 18-22. Maybe even less!

I like the ones I get from Nigeria ... sometimes the scammer's male, other times, female ... seems they all have ready access to some fancy-dancy 'attorney' with a high-blown 'English' name, but, for some reason or other, the letter I get isn't from the 'attorney' (who probably speaks what passes for impeccable High Street 'Inglés'). No, the letter is from the person who wants me to CONTACT the attorney for 'details' about how I can 'inherit' multi-millions of (one can suppose) 'x' $US if only I will be so kind as to please be furnishing my Sosul Sekurité nombre, mother's maiden name, my Facebook password, bank account number, home address, and a retina scan of my right eye.

Call me silly, but yes, I've managed to turn up my nose at this pathway to immense riches. Now I'll have to wait for some hot babe (or babe-ette tranny) from Hasta Luego or Sonora or East Rathole to contact me saying that 'she' lusts after my lithe and nubile (yet somehow magically virile) masculine hardform and wants to 'ruv me rong time' while giving me what 'she' calls 'numbah one boom-boom' ... followed by 'Hey Joe - you got gum?' ...





Yeah, just read my earlier post. He says he's in Barcelona, Spain, but you know it's some dude in Ghana, or one of those countries!

Now before someone from Ghana, Benin, or Nigeria read this and starts blasting me as a racist, I don't mean all people from those countries are scammers. But as the saying goes: "The few (scammers) ruin it for the rest (good people from those countries)". I would love to visit, just as long as I don't meet any of those scammers.

I tracked some emails I got, (yes you can do that) using a tracking software, most emails (especially claiming from Africa) came from Los Angeles, CA.

Others..(claiming to be Russian) came from New Jersey.


Dude, No offense, but, WAKE UP!! shocked

Those are re-mailers. You send an e-mail to the server, the server composes a new e-mail and strips the body of the e-mail you send and pastes it in the body of the new e-mail.

Voila!! An e-mail from LA!! shocked

Yor tracker can't see the headers from "accross the pond" (I like saying thatsmile2) because the re-mailer actually composes a "new" e-mail.

Just kidding about the wake up call, but... WAKE UP!! :smile:

You think reading that was funny? You should have been here when I was acually messaging! One solid hour of cracking up! There's even a part in the beginning where (when I'm asking: "Tell me what your problem is.") he says: "Why do you want to know? So you can laugh at me." I swear I lost it for a minute or two! :banana: rofl :banana: rofl :banana: rofl :banana: rofl :banana: rofl :banana: rofl

That's nothing. I had women texting/messaging me who had different pictures..like every other day..

I asked her if she edits the eye color etc.. she goes "what do you mean?" and I tell her, that her eye color is blue in one, in the other it's brown.and her hair just looks different and even the facial features changed.

At the end, I had 3 different people claiming to be the same person. And then when finally she sent the last one, telling me that's how she looks, I almost did a backflip summersault out of my chair.

I just looked at a profile on another site... The main pic was that of a blonde white girl. the additional photo was that of a black girl!

So yeah, there is a chance that entire countries can be stereotyped based on a few assh_les who use a translator program to send out spam emails.

Please don't blame the azzoles for the bad translation programs.

I had to write a letter to my 88-year-old aunt to thank her for the Albanian elbow bananas, but I had forgot all my Albanian. I wrote her, "thanks for the gift, please keep well", put it through the English-Albanese translation program, and she got it as "tanks fork the lift, p*ss in the well."

You may be right. I have a cardiologist's appointment today at nine, with the bus I have leave the house at seven thirty, bike some distance to the bus stop. Fine. But I tiddled and dwoddled on the computer 'till two in the morning, then I wanted to set an alarm for six-thirty, giving me four and a half hours of sleep. I could not find my alarm clock for a half hour, and I realized I'd packed them away. So I took these new-fangled watches, that get set by signals from satellites, and are extremely accurate.

I tried to set one to buzz at seven, but it kept doing everything but set the alam. I eventually got it to buzz at seven-o-six, and I said, no, that's too tight, set it to six-fifty-six. I set the minutes up from six to fifty-six, and could not set the hours from seven to six. In fact, I wasted another forty-five minutes trying to find the button-press combination to set the alarm. So then I said, heyheyhey, it's now 4:37, I get up at six-fifty-six, so I need this contraption to buzz in two ours nineteen minutes; I set it to 5:37, and bob is mein uncle. But in time luckily I realized that these devils' boxes are set by satellite. I fall asleep, with the happy knowledge that it will wake me in time for the appointment, and the satellite would set it before it buzzes, and I'll be an hour late, and $500 lighter. In the town where I live the doctors' services are free, except you pay full price if you've promised to show and you don't. 24 hour notice is required, some places started to ask for 48 hour notices.

So I am bombed. I think I will leave the house in an hour's time, shower first, maybe change the shirt and the undies, after the shower (I save a LOT on hot water and laundry detergent this way), and off I go.

Wish me luck, please, to allow me not to fall off the bike, to find the bust stop, to not miss my stop to get off, to find the doctor's building, to run 12 miles on the cardiomachine, to not get a heart attack, to not die. BUT PLEASE NO PRAYERS.

In my language "kurd" means the second person singular imperative for "make love" in vulgar vernacular.

So "Kurdistan" in Hungarian means "Stan, please, do her a favour, and do her."

I wonder what "Hungarian" means in Flove. I mean, in Kurd.

OK then best wishes and don't forget to tell the stress testers about your meticulous preparations. Don't forget to stay well
hydrated.

They might want to find you a place to sleep for a while before
they hook you up and put you through your paces!!
