Forgot to mention: I always put them on my block list after responding.
I suppose mockery is all fun and games, but I have to wonder if offering advice on how to improve their scam is a good idea in the long run.
Most are too stupid, uneductated or lazy to change. Also, if they’re low-level “employees”, they won’t be in a position to make changes to the script anyways.They’re looking for low-hanging fruit.
They also go to stock photo sites as evidenced by a photo I got of an FBI agent at his desk with the watermarks still visible.
I always forward scam emails to reportphishing@apwg.org (Anti-Phishing Working Group). Not sure whether it does anything but why not give it a try? It might help someone else.
Or they’re being held hostage and beaten when they don’t comply. Potato, po-tah-to.
I found this one in an online forum, it’s just too good not to share.
For only $112 (and you can pay with Sephora gift cards), Jill Biden will personally deliver over 40 million dollars to your house, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. At least that’s what Kamala says.

Meanwhile. we observed that the chief commissioner of customs and some Bank managers are doing business with your money which is not normally. And some of The Customs are diverting people’s funds into their personal bank account due to their position and it was a big shock to the U.S Government when we heard the sad news This was the reason why We stopped all illegal operations to the Airport Authority

For great justice!
I am tempted to spam a million email addresses, and just say in big bold print:
SEND ME MONEY! NOW!
I bet I’d get a bunch of folks.
Long before the internet, I really wanted to start a campaign (with direct mail and billboards, and maybe even talk show appearances):
“SEND DIGS A DOLLAR”
People could get a hand-doodled thank you postcard and/or a bumper sticker: “I Sent Digs a Dollar!”
You know how I can tell that is fake? It refers to the First Lady as Mrs Jill Biden rather than Dr Jill Biden. If they hadn’t made that mistake, I would have been completely fooled.
I read back in the days of print newspapers and personal ads, people would occasionally post one consisting of “Last chance to send in your dollar!” with a PO Box and get a good return.
I always liked the idea and was going to do it, but read somewhere it was illegal (no explanation of why) so didn’t.
I just saw this account of an ‘abuse of corpse’ story. I can hardly imagine all the other charges these ‘slime of humanity’ defendents are facing. Bastards!
Presumably for privacy reasons the link didn’t disclose his name. My money is on Bernie.
One of the two later called the facility with some of the man’s story, he said, and the body was identified as Douglas Layman, 80, the chief said.
The last message I got from Mr. Sloane at Publishers Clearinghouse was “Wasting my time.” I find that very satisfying.
The good news is that I just won the “Publishers Clearinghouse Mega Millions.” This time I won $7,500.000.00 and a Mercedes car. I was put in contact with a Mr. Goodman. My first impression is that Mr. Goodman is even more stupid than Mr. Sloane.
Wait until you get one cussing you out, that’s even more fun.
So many keywords. That email would be a shoo-in to win a SEO tournament.
That guy on YT likes to hack into their database and even their security camera feeds, and gets either their actual names (never what they say they are either, like Tom, Debby, or Harry, instead always Hindi) and/or their pics, and shows all that to them. Never fails to generate a string of Hindi if not English profanity.
Saul Goodman? Please tell us that’s his name.
Tell him to call you Heisenberg.
Sorry, just plain old Davld Goodman.
