I love replying to spam

[OMGWTFBBQ]

Any time that a spam comes to me from what looks like an address that is real and someone actually reads the responses, I love to send them back a note and just try to be receptive to their ideas.

My favorites are the African scam ones, but they seem to get caught by my filter more lately.

Here is one I just got today and my response - I hope he responds back to me because I need all the friends I can get.

I have changed around the names a slight bit.

Nick!
Great to hear from you again!
I appreciate your curiosity man - I personally think that there isn't really enough curiosity these days. Also not enough different types of donuts. Are you ever curious about donuts? Get back to me on that, it is something that I'm curious about.

Anywhoo, funny you mention it - I still haven't found what I'm looking for at all. So much so that I am sort of just always absent mindedly humming that U2 song... I think it called "Desire". Speaking of which - have you seen that movie "Buttfuck Sluts Go Nuts vol. 3"?? I haven't seen volumes one or two, but I'll bet they aren't as good. Although from my experiences, the sequels aren't always as good as the first ones. What were we talking about again - you totally got me distracted.
I think it was about a job. What is this job that you have for me again? Will it involve working with horses? I swear I love horses. Sure, I've been arrested for it twice I guess - but they always drop the charges because you really can't prove anything when the horse is dead. Oh - I'm alergic to fish if that matters - so I probably couldn't do any sort of job that involved fishing. Or fish.
Also I sweat a lot.

Anyways, I just reread the part where you said you were going to give me extra income and I'm all for that. I have this rash that to be honest, I'm not entirely sure where it came from. Extra income could go a long way to soothing that which burns if you know what I mean. And it could probably get a decent hooker if you were willing to pay enough - I hope you are.

Oh, and Nick - do you know anything about these African dudes that are trying to get their millions of dollars into my bank account? Is that going to mess up my job thing with you or not? I hope not because I could sure use millions of dollars. Imagine the level of action I could score on that kind of bank.... can you picture it? I picture it doesn't have hair on its chest and damn straight that is a start!

Anyway, I'll check out your website for sure - you should totally check out mine. Also, if you haven't seen that one about the puppies where they are all soft and cuddly, it is like outrageous and stuff.
Whoa - remember that candy bar "Nutrageous"? I had a flashback of those. I'll bet when you and I are rich and done with our rashes, we could probably score some Nutragous bars pretty easily.

Anyways - I gotta run to try and find what I've been looking for - which I'm pretty sure is probably illegal or at least "frowned upon" - get back to me pronto there Nick - I gotta lot of love here and I think you are in on it if you know what I mean. If not, how about sending me some pictures?

Thanks,

Charles "in Charge" Eric Johnson

Eric,

This is Nicholas Adams checking in.

Just curious, you were looking to make money working from home. Did you ever find what you were looking for?

I hope you did. But, if you didn’t...and are still looking for a way to earn some extra income from home, let me know.

Send me a quick email and let me know what’s up. Or, just go to http://tigkoly.teamvisionbuilder.com and take a look at what I'm doing.

Best Regards,

Nicholas Adams

I do a similar thing (without using a PC or Email) to telemarketers

Asking them silly ass questions about the service acting all
interested and jones'd etc..

Only to find some flaw and telling them their stuff blows like that
girl in HighSchool that they married..

nice, better hop they reply, that would be mint

I always wrote to the African (Nigerian usually) scams and they would occasionally write back.
My go to move is usually with the rashes - especially on the Nigerian dudes since they said that they were doctor so and so. I'd ask them what they thought about various maladies that I had.

My dad always hits on the telemarketers so it makes them uncomfortable - I'm the same way, but with anyone that calls.
Fortunately, we don't have telemarketers here, so it is a nice thing.
My friend's grandfather will play along with them as if he is an old dude interesting in buying a lot of shit, then he will say "hold on, let me go get my wallet" and then he will put the phone down and go do something else for a half hour or so, and if they are still there after that (which they are sometimes!) he will act like he has no idea who they are and start the whole conversation over again, getting interested again, etc.
I guess when you are retired you have the kind of free time to do that - me on the other hand, I'm always on the go... searching for things that I haven't found yet.

 

[ViperHMS]

Thats Classic! I used to answer the phone and then tell the to hold on and i'd go into the bathroom with the phone and take a big dump trying to be as loud as possible. If they were still on the phone after that i'd then pretend that the toilet was broken and wouldn't flush. Most of the time they would hang up after the first 5 minutes.

My friend Sterno Dox corresponds with spammers for sport, and then reports about it on his site. This is some seriously funny shit.
