    We all get them.

    A prince has died, you're in line to get a few million.

    Have any of you ever successfully strung along a scammer?

    I think standards must be slipping. Today's scamail -
    It begs the question: Why the fuck would someone with $45mil be riding 3 up on a motorcycle?

    Shit, helps if I read things properly

    Maybe the wife and son died of shock upon hearing the bad news.

    Yeah, I got one similar to that recently, i actually followed it up and I got $36mil for my trouble. I guess I was one of the lucky few that received a genuine offer. But, being super rich is not all it's cracked up to be.

    It doesn't actually say motorcycle there. It only says motor accident. That could mean a car.

    He already said he misread it, but he said motorcycle for effect... humour.

    Scam Emails...well, I normally don't understand them really, here is a genuine example from my spam folder:

    Hmm, I haven't received any for a while, the university must have tightened security a bit, but all I ever got was online pharmacy spam - couldn't be bothered to read it.
    I'm guessing the random text is to fool spam filters - all of the spam I got had PHARMACY as the title with three random letters stuck in the middle.

    I seen a couple involving the marriage of "Princess's", kind along the lines of, "inherit all this dough if you marry my fuggly daughter" or roughly translated get ripped of all your money and get married to a fuggly person to boot.

    The one good thing about internet spam is you don't have to print it on paper so it doesn't waste any trees.
