Hey all,

You probably didn't. Responding to one before realising it was a scam, can result in you getting more scam emails.
It could be the first scammer having another go at you.

urgh what annoying scum!

Annoying scum and so much more, they are very persistent and will try many different angles if they think there is a chance of getting money from you, when that fails they may well pass your email address onto another scammer so he can have a turn at trying to steal from you.

haha they can try all they want but never again will I come close to handing money to these...these... its! haha I hope other people do what we did and discover scams before handing over their hard earned money.

Thanks Siren,

I know, it can be hard to describe what you think of them without using words that can be considered offensive, I have found that "scum" and "maggots" can be suitable replacements for those words you would have liked to write

I hope other people do what we did and discover scams before handing over their hard earned money

The good news there is that more and more people are doing searches when unsure, the more people we can all talk to about scams the less people there will be to fall for them.
