NVGR: Holy Crap, Scammers Hitting Dtoid?
cannedpasta | 9:26 AM on 12.26.2008 29 comments


My son and I are sitting here watching Wall-e, and I decided to bust out the laptop and check my e-mail. Lookit what I found in there:

-------------------------------------------------

Hello,
How are you and how is your work hope all is moving fine.i seek for honest partner and i meet you at destructoid.com and it was interesting and attractive then i drop by to know who this was, i will like to know more about you. if you wouldn't mind you can reply my mail.
i will be very glad to read your mail with all pleasure. it will be nice to meet you and also read from you. please do honor my invitation so that we can exchange our pictures and maybe become partner.
Remember the distance does not matter what matters is the love we share with each other.
i wait to hear from you soon.

Kiss Regards Miss Suzee

-------------------------------------------------

This screams of a 419 Scam. It's probably a guy going for the "Pretending to be a chick who's going to inherit money from her dead father" scams.

I am thinking about replying from a throwaway email address, I love messing with scammers. WHat do you guys think?

They must have noticed who spends 10+ hours a day on this site and decided to use it to get us to fund their terrorist organization.
