why I oughta...
Had someone email me out of the blue asking about getting computer training for 4 kids. Awesome - I love group training sessions. but something just seemed a little off about the wording of the emails. Like when someone feeds a sentence through Google translate or something. It just didn't sound like "American" English.
On a whim, I did a Google search for the email address. Boom. Found a post on a scambaiter web site from someone who had the same experience. Their first few emails were identical to the ones I had gotten. Here's a sampling:
Ugh. Scammers wasting my time.

I want you to get back to me with the total estimate for 1 month private training for 4 people 2(Female) aged (20, and 18)and 2(Male) aged (19 and 22) for 3 weeks 1hr daily 3 times a week, they will be coming with a private transportation driver for the service.I will be expecting your reply with the total cost and your full name,address and direction for the private transport to locate your place when they are coming for the service.
want you to understand that my credit card don't work with Paypal so would like you to set up with another merchant like cpay merchant or first data merchant or flint so you can be able to charge my credit card with no problem??
I am at the hospital undergoing surgery in 4 days time i was suppose to bring my children to the location myself but due to my illness i am not capable to so. So will can only talk through text.
I want my children to learn Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook.
I will want the classes to happen now because after the surgery we are leaving the city. They will be coming with a private transportation driver for the classes so i will like you to get back to me with the total cost of 1 month training for 4 people for 1hr daily 3 times a week. Can you get back to me with the total cost of the training session. and i need a little favor from you
the favor is that i have not pay for the private transportation driver that will be bringing the 4 kids for the whole training and i can't do that myself,am at the hospital will undergo surgery in 4 days and also the driver's does not have credit card facilities to charge a card , so while charging my card i will like you to include extra $1890 for the driver's bill and you will have the $1890 send via western union to the driver and add extra $100 tip for your self as an inconvenience fee, so go ahead and add everything up. i will send it together to you with the first invoice.
