It almost sounds like they're trying to appeal to the 14 year old counterstrike champion who almost <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> himself with delight when he found out he can edit his own windows registry

Though they almost had me sold when I found I can buy Women's Via758493728gra, and at the same time make it grow 3 inches overnight.

They do this to get past the spam blockers, but to the human brain, the message is still readable.

But that's just like screaming "THIS IS SPAM, IGNORE ME PLEASE"!

It takes their dumb message and robs it of any potential marketing value, which is just moronic, AFAIK

I would love to take a poll at a huge site like cnn.com, aol.com, yahoo.com with the question, "Have you bought something from an email?"

I have a sum of £10,000,000 which I can't take out of the Scotland due to draconian legislation by the new Scottish parliament. I am desperate to escape persecution in my home nation and need the kind assistance of respected foreign nationals to transfer my assets.

I am willing to pay a generous 10% fee to individuals or organisations who offer assistance. For legal reasons, you must first register a company bank account in Scotland and then I can transfer the cash immediately. Since all my assets are frozen, you must send a sum of £1,000 to cover necessary legal fees. I am afraid they are about to throw my wife Senga into prison again at any moment so please hurry.

And I believe you, therefore I give you money. It takes an amateur genius to understand that kind of logic...

mcgruff do I have your word I'll get 10% of that massive fortune of yours?

Yes of course. Everyone who offers their kind assistance will be gratefully rewarded with 10% - however many there are.

so if there is 20 people you'll give 200% of your fortune?

lets say 3 people help you now and take 30%, are you then going to recaculate what 10% of your remaining fortune is or will you still calculate 10% based on the original fortune?

Someone write him some php to do all this math.. :)

Code: Select all

<?
$fortune['UK'] = (float) 10000000;
$exchange_rate = (float) 1.5998;
$fortune['US'] = $fortune['UK']*$exchange_rate;

$freeloaders = 27; /* They all want their 10% */

foreach ($freeloaders as $loser_number){
    $fortune['UK'] -= ($fortune['UK']/100)*10;
    echo "After {$loser_number} freeloaders have their 10%, you have {$fortune'UK']} left (${($fortune['UK']*$exchange_rate)}).<br />\r\n";
}
?>
Of course, asuming the 10% is of your current (diminishing) fortune, and not the initial sum, you'll never go broke, ever :)
