Does it ever end?

Post by Lazarus » Sun Feb 19, 2023 12:17 am

I get probably 40-50 emails every week about how I'm due 40-50 MILLION dollars. Cough.... ALL are Gmail which is the first giveway. None are a "Gov.net" Most have the vocabulary and syntax of a third grader. Forget the $50. I tell them that I will split the millions 50/50 if they pay the "Fee." Why do they continue to try this? Are there enough suckers out there that go for it? It gets tiring.....

Replying certainly encourages them to continue to email.

"Suckers?" Why the victim shaming? These continue because new users hit the internet daily and they have not been educated or were in vulnerable positions when they received the communication.

As long as there is greed and/or naive, impressionable people, there will be scams and scammers.
