Anyone else had this spam PM? This is the second spam PM I’ve had in the last week or so, after many years in the forum receiving none.
Please do not respond to these messages. It only encourages them.
Oh My God! Just the other day I got an email from the Prince of Nigeria, who needed me to hold his money…
I really enjoy reading these spam messages, I can’t get through them without breaking into laughter.
Clearly she needs your help…with spelling and grammar. I honestly don’t know what’s worse, the fact that someone would come up with such a ridiculous way of scamming people, or that they think someone would believe them.
I have a professional interest in fraud. Greed trumps intelligence nearly every time.

Sadly, no. But I’d be glad to post my snail-mail address if anyone wants to send me Spam. I prefer the low-sodium variety…
The Nigerian Scam infiltrates PMs. Another reason to not use them… 
I’m always here if someone wants to contact me by email, where my anti-spam process (onlymyemail.com) does a great job.
Male snail spam is delicious.
- Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A
- Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B
- Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business Reply Mail Envelope.
- Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold in your hand.
- Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away whistling.
I have now received two phone calls from the credit card companies telling me that they received a stuffed envelope with coupons rather then my application. They informed me that it they are not pleased that they footed the bill for the crap I sent them. I reply with “It says Business Reply Mail” I’m suggesting coupons to you to ensure that your business is more successful. They promptly hang up on me.
Now, I did this for about a month before it got boring, so I got an added idea! I added exactly 33 cents worth of pennies to the envelope so they paid EXTRA due to the weight. I got a call informing me about the money, I said it was a mistake and I demanded my change back. After yelling at the clerk and then to the supervisor they agreed to my demands and cut me a check for the money. I hold in my hand at this very moment a check from GTE Visa for exactly 33 cents.
I just got the same PM! 
I’ll do the decent thing: I’ll share the profits 50/50 with you - unless anyone else receives it, of course.
I have now received two phone calls…
Your copypasta is stale.
That was a scam!? 
Errrr…I need to go close some bank accounts.
