Another Variation On The Happy Married Life Email Scam

Thank you young padawan. As you can see, I have changed my avatar to reflect the honor you have bestowed on me.
I must have gotten the twinkleberry from the toejam. Toe-jam--twinkle-toes--twinkle-berry.....you know how names evolve.
I still think we should have a sparkleberry recipe contest.
costumeczar, don't ever let anyone tell you that your broken English is bad.
It's, well it's......perfectly broken
and I think you should feel important also since there are over 1500 views on this thread!
I just thank you for the idea to ask about the sparkleberry/twinkleberry in the first place. If everyone who's looked at this thread does the same thing to these guys maybe they'll get tired of it and move on.
But then where would the fun be?
My sister-in-law works at an online shoe company, and she said that the scam they get is people emailing to order boots with a two-day rush shipping. She says it's always boots, and always a two-day rush. I can't figure out why scammers come up with such specific details, then use them over and over. Maybe 'cause they're STOOOOPID????
I have strung this idiot along until he has postponed his "wedding" until next week.
He writes:
Hello Shelley,
Want to infor you that our wedding has been postpond till 11th of April 2009 due to my wife health,She need to undergo some medical treatment latter today and she need enough rest for some days so that is why we have decided to postpond..Hope you understand us...As for our weeding cake we still want you to bake the cake for us..So let me know the price excluding the plastic platforms cos we have that with us now....
Get back to us...
James and Linda...
Notice that now he wants a weeding cake? We could have some fun with that one.
Dang, that guy is persistent! When you're done messing with him tell him that you only accept cash, that seems to be the key to getting rid of them.
Although a weeding cake might be nice...Is he going with a garden theme or something ?
Either that or he's part of the green movement and is trying new ways of recycling--even weeds need a way to feel useful ya know. I did write back and ask him if he had plenty of reticulating styroplosion plastic and self-freezing boxes. I have yet to hear back from him.
Someone on another thread made the comment that he/she didn't think that scamming these guys was worth the time....I think that 5 minutes in the morning/evening for a chuckle all day is a pretty good trade but that's JMO as they say.
Oh, it's so totally worth the time. It's fun fun fun 'til Daddy takes my reticulating styroplosion plastic twinkleberry jam containers away.
