Dear Spammer, here are some tips
Sometimes the finds in my spam box make for decent entertainment.
Dear Spammer, if you want to have any real chance of scamming someone, consider these tips:
- Don't use ALL CAPS.
- When sending to an English-speaking person, hire a copywriter that knows English well.
- Use the correct ZIP Code for the address shown.
- If you claim the rich diplomat has also been emailing me, actually send some fake emails from another account posing to be that person.
- Remember to include the actual address and/or instructions on where to send my money.
- Don't send the email using a Japan email address if Japan is not mentioned anywhere in the scenario.
P.S. What is "ICE Welcome Ceremony"?
