Unknown Said...

Dear Douche Bag, Your scam will have to be a lot more convincing in order to succeed.

Is it just me or could I mop up at internet scams?  It seems to me the only thing you need in order to be better than the competition is a spellchecker and a minimal knowledge of grammar.

Example (I just got an email with the below text about an hour ago):
