And I want you to have the cake ready for pick-up on 1st of May 2009, 11 o clock A.M. So let me know if you can fill in the date, once i have your reply i will forward all the details and the picture sample of the cake i will like you to bake for me. I await your reply soon..
Thanks and God bless.
Alex.
Do you want the traditional jelly rolls with the cake? Twinkleberry or toejam flavor? And you need to know in advance that I only accept payment in advance in cash from scammers, so when you pay me over the total amount so that I can pay your scammer friend shipping company make sure that it's cash. And make sure that your scammer shipping company has the styroplosion reticulating plastic shipping boxes, too. You can buy those at yourmama's house.
Great response!! That was hilarious! I wonder if it is a computer generated scam or a real person. I hope you get a response!
Ah, so not really any spelling errors, but I would imagine whatever langauage this scammer speaks, he plugged in the words to Babelfish, and this is how the translation came out. Completely not proper English language....kind of how I have not used proper grammar as well. Oh well. Screw those scammers! I like to mess with them!!!
Jamie, I actually saw a picture of an Asian couple posing with a wedding cake that said "Happy Married Life" on it! I just about wet myself laughing at that one! Maybe it's considered normal to do that somewhere in the world, and that's where my friend the scammer lives.
And yes, this is a constant thing. They order the cake, tell you that they'll arrange for a shipper to pick it up, then send you a check for the cost of the cake and the shipping too. They tell you to pay the shipper, then a couple of weeks later you find out from your bank that the check they sent you is fake, and the bank wants their money back. You're out the cost of the cake and the money that you paid the shipper.
For some reason they always ask for Happy Married Life written on the cake and a strawberry cake. Don't know why...
I couldn't resist once after getting one of those "I've inherited billions and gazillions and need your help." I sent an interested email and after I got another response from the person, then it was like how dumb do you think people are etc...... That was before I discovered my love of cake decorating, now I don't have time to play games with them
I can't type either...I just had to retype that.
Jamie, did you make up the Twinkleberry thing, or was that someone else, I can't remember.
He hasn't written back yet, I'm sad.
I have gotten this exact same e-mail before. Was there a picture attached? (There was to mine.)
Great witty replay- love it!
When I get them I just write them saying that I have sent their e-mail to the FBI internet fraud department. (Which they really have and I really do!)
It's so irritating!
Sorry if I asked a stupid question. I get the "inherited millions" all the time. I actually got one like the op's about a fishing trip not too long ago ( we run a fishing guide service) but didn't realize til the second email what it was. We get so many emails a day I guess I was in "robot" mode just trying to get them all answered and didn't think twice about it being a scam.
and most of my posts and my emails aren't spelled correctly all the time!
Have you guys ever read how to scam a scammer? This website cracks me up.

So I have a completely resonable solution for all this, refer the scammer to Joseph at "Totally Caked Up". Joseph will be happy to make the cake and arrange for transportation. If it doesn't work out with Joseph, Dixie would be happy to make the cake.
I remember getting a phone call from the "irs" one year, telling me that I was suppose to get more of a refund than I got. They then proceeded to tell me they needed my SSN for verification. I told them How dumb do you think I am? They still tried to convince me that they were legit until I hung up on them.

I like this idea!!!

I would get that one all the time and they always say not to talk to anyone about it. I responded with an email with my lawyers name and office number and then frowarded it to the FBI. There was also a scam using an actual FBI agents name and it was posted on the FBI website as a scam because it convinced a lot of people. I honestly don't trust emails or phone calls anymore. I argued with an "agent" at my cc company because she said I had to make a payment over the phone and I told her I was in the area of and I was going to make an in store payment and she started arguing with me. I made my payment before I hung up with her and told her to wait for the update because it was just paid and she hung up on me. Scammers are everywhere. Be careful. They can access your information in ways that you wouldn't expect. I heard of colleges and doctors out here having someone hack into their copy machines and steal info that way. It's scary.
Maybe you should just refer them to dsevans. They probably don't bank at the same bank.
hahahahahaha!
But would I have to give the ring back too?
LOL! This response is classic! Thanks for the laugh!!!!!

OMG!!! I have a fridge that I was selling here locally on craigslist. I received an email just like this asking me if they can send a check with the cost of the fridge and the cost of the shipping company. I'm so glad I didn't fall for it. I told them I would only sell face to face and it's CASH ONLY. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with it. You had a great response, though.
