Here's something humorous. My brother got a thing going with one of those email scammers, decided to fuck with one of them via email. He is reluctant to post the exchange on the Internet, for whatever reason, so I asked him to forward the exchange to me. I've said it before, but it amazes me that people fall for this shit; they must, because if they did not, I wouldn't get so many of them. What else is amazing is that this guy went through so many emails before telling my brother he realized he was insincere.

With this an exchange was started, as I said. The guy wanted my brother to fill in a form. He did once, after asking specifically how to fill it out the guy wrote "your name here" in the space provided for name. So he did just that, my brother put "your name here". Too funny. Here are some of my brother's other replies, they get bizarre....

How much money do you want. I am willing to pay 25% of the capital. What is the next step you wish me to take in this matter.

I'm still not sure what it is that you want from me. Please be specific in your directions as to what you want me to do.

How do I fill out the form?

explain to me how to fill out the form

what do i put for beneficiary? on the application.

I called you but the lady said that you were bathing and not to disturb you.

I have filled out the form as you requested please look it over and let me know if I did it right.

ok here it is again

At this point the guy was frustrated, and sent him this reply....

I can understand that you are not serious.

To which he replied....

I can understand that you are not very sensitive. because you have hurt my feelings. especially since I changed my name to Katherine after my sex change. I am a woman now and I dont apreciate you speaking to me this way. just because I have large breasts now doesnt mean that I am not serious. My parents dont even talk to me anymore. You have no idea what i'm going through. I have to pose nude for money.

Thank you and goodbye
Katherine
