Ironically, the scammer in this case is hoping that you percieve his intentions wrongly.

I guess he is lucky that we here at scamwarners wont have any questions as to his intention to scam people :wink:

So do I. I've replied in the guise of a rich elderly lady, who doubts that she will be able to comprehend the proposal.

First time I received one of these and replied, I was sure it was a badger. My hopes were dashed when it turned out to be a regular old next-of-kin or over-invoiced abandoned funds modality.

Though I did get him to repeatedly assure me that his intentions were "not half as reputable as they seem".
