Messing With Scammers #2
I don’t think this one’s quite on par with the first one, but still fun. I love his all-caps “NO” response.

smith micheal:
“please, if your item’s still for sale, please get back to me
immediately with the condition…..”
me:
“It’s in beautiful condition; possibly as beautiful as the reply I’m about to receive. Can’t wait”
smith micheal:
“Thank you, but can you ship? because am out of town and am buying
this item’s for my son which i will pay you via PayPal. because
am one of PayPal workers, and will want to use this opportunity
to prove our self again as good money transfer that is why PayPal send me
to buy something from craigslist. to tell our people that we are now
secure than the past. so if you have PayPal email account so you can send
it to me so that the payment will secure for both of us and if you
don’t have PayPal email acct i can use this opportunity to advertise
our work ,you can easily go to WWW.PayPal.com and create an account
with us and get back to me as soon as possible

me:
“So glad to see that PayPal’s corporate “Grammar Awareness Program” payed off. Was it a rewarding experience for you? I wish I could be grammatically aware. Now I feel kind of sad. I wish you wouldn’t make me feel sad, Smith Micheal. Oh well, I’d still like to ship it. That sounds exciting. I’m so confused by these modern computer things though. Could I just give you a bunch of my finance sites’ login info and let you handle it? Thanks so much!!”
smith micheal:
“NO”
me:
“Yeah, that might be kind of hard.
You know what? I think you should try to make a career in Contemporary Christian Music. You might want to add a “W” to your name somewhere though.
Do you still want the camera? It’s a Contemporary Christian Camera.”

And alas, that’s all I could get out of him. I probably need to bait them a bit more.
