Wow.

I've always wondered if the terrible spelling and grammar is a deliberate tactic to snare the dumbest-of-the-dumb victims. It is clearly an immediate tip-off to the literate population.

Parcel sent from Nigeria, no doubt!

Tabs always says his brain is functioning on such a high level it doesn't have time for pedestrian details like spelling and grammar.

So these must be some of them genius-scammers.

I think that scammer used to work as a "Nigerian Oceanographier"......He was always "at Sea".....He wanted to buy your "Item" at more that your asking price......He was always "very busy"

Other than that, a cool dude.

I posted one here recently that was perfect grammatically. They are getting better!

There are a lot of white hat hackers that have infiltrated the scammer bulletin boards and they intentionally feed them misspellings so that normal people are immediately tipped off. They know they can't stop the scammers, but they can make it obvious.

You've seen those studies that show examples of writing where the first and last letters of words are correct, the length of the word is correct and it's misspelled, yet it reads perfectly. I looked at the above 'notice' and actually missed the errors. As it is, I see two. There may be another, I don't know.

I can see how someone might be pleased to be clicking link, in error.
