Always fun reading the low effort spam mails I'm receiving. If they only spend a minute making it look real someone might actually fall for it 
| Quote: | | Greetings, I'm Greg Berman, am 59 years old widower ... I only have few months to live due to cancer illness. I have decided to will/donate the sum of US$8,000,000 to you for the good work of the lord, children in need, the poor and to help the homeless. Respond with this Ref: SOULWINNING2020 so I will know you got this. God bless you, |
| Quote: | | Are you in the mood for some boinky-boinky tonight? Come on bae |
| Quote: | | Is this email private for us to discuss a $7,000,000 business that will be of mutually beneficial to us. This is not stolen money and there are no dangers involved. |
Seems legit
| Quote: | | I'm Mrs. Carolyn Wright from Austria, a 76 years old widow with cancer. ... I will like to share a private information with you and I will appreciate if you contact me through my email and furnish me with your information such as Name, Sex, Age, Marital Status, Contact Address, Phone Number |
Mr Greg is suddenly a female!
| Quote: | | Lisa finally rid herself of 62 lbs of baby weight, which not only resulted in a reversal of Type 2 Diabetes, but also forced her to buy a whole new wardrobe! |
So, what is it you're selling?  A new wardrobe?
| Quote: | | What Can You Do About Coronavirus Right Now? Protect yourself and your family from being hurt ... and get a gun permit right here! |
To kill myself or to shoot the virus? 
| Quote: | | It looks like someone logged into your facebook account |
Ha! The joke is on you.
| Quote: | | Breakfast, lunch, AND dinner are on us! Get a $100 McDonald's Rewards Card |
For an American maybe, I do not like 3x fries a day.
| Quote: | | Your presence is requested (this is "YUGE"!) |
What a YUGE mistake.

It's on purpose. They don't want to waste their time on smart people. They want the idiots that don't even notice blatant errors. It's easier to milk their money tits.

Was just about to say that then read your reply.
Don't remember where I saw it, was a video about 419 scammers asking the question: These are such obviously bad scam attempts, who would fall for it?
And they pointed out that exact thing, that they don't want to weed through the smarter people by making it too believable. They want to narrow it down out of the gate to only the people naïve and gullible enough to start with to respond to the ludicrous emails believing they are real.

Same, the only type of spam mails that I'm getting lately are the unimaginative standard ones about single milfs living nearby, extravagant vintage furniture, bitcoins, penis enlargement methods, and all that ja̶izz. I did get a curious extortion mail though which claimed that my web browser had suddenly begun to work as a remote desktop with a keylogger that gave some guy accessibility to my display, contacts, personal files and videos recorded through a hidden webcam CSI-style. I had only 24 hours to pay the ransom (€10k) but didn't make it in time

The amount of spam I receive on my old gmail account (never really use it anymore) is just idiotic. It's leaked probably too many times going by HIBP.
Some more
Ehm, wider I think? Not sure why you want a wild drink bowl.
For what?
Good message, 10/10 for your effort.

to me this is the "good" kind of spam, i mean it's not even annoying since it goes directly to the spambox, which i never open.
The scams i really dislike these days are the ones on facebook and instagram, which is shops selling things which obviously doesn't exist, the price/quality doesn't make sense, it can be really nice clothing or just some random item but if you spend some time researching (reading through the comments, looking up the website) it's always fake shit, 100% scams and both FB and Instagram doesn't give a shit. One i particularly dislike is where they're trying to sell a telescope, they're using parts from a amateur review of a camera (€900 camera), i know it because i was looking into buying that camera and found this persons review.

This was the headline. No message in the body of the email at all. As I said, they are aiming for the complete idiots that are barely smart enough to log into their emails and are capable of transferring money.
I would also like to use this chance to once more say: Money tits. |

Nope, still the same murder. Why are you asking Marc? Do you want some?
