What these fuckers need is someone how speaks English.

lol awesome - I could see this being a subsequent email, sent after one of those traditional 419 spams - if they record an open on the original message or if no bounce came back on that particular email addy

[marcop]

That email makes no sense.

it's amazing that people still fall for that shit... I would have figured this scam would have dried up years ago...

[2MuchMark]

I am so happy that my Mom doesn't have a computer. To you and me these emails are an obvious scam but to older peeps this kind of thing could appear to be a dream come true. Pretty sad.

[TheSenator]

Old people and people in the Bible belt fall for this scam daily.

[TheDA]

This is still an old one. They've been doing that for a few years now.
