Scammers

I always get mails from con artists telling me that I have won shit loads of money because of my e mail and stuff. Usually, I'll reply them 'fuck you assholes' or ' may your kids be borne with no assholes'. I got another mail again a few days ago, so I decided to have some fun with this asshole. I decided to be a 'victim'.

Let me show you this asshole's (the con man) mail. Look, they even put the motto as fighting poverty. You mean your own poverty right?!?!? Asshole.

The dipshit claim agent even calls himself a 'doctor'. This mail is so full of shit I can't understand why people will still be scammed by such crap. But oh well, many people believe in 'hope' too much I guess.

Anyway, I sent them a reply, with a total cooked up identity of course.
