Please try to remember to scam in the right language!

yeah that's pretty dumb, but don't be too sure that they're too dumb to use it. They're probably hoping that you use that same password for things they can use such as paypal. My financial stuff always has a different password from everything else.

Wow, Give those idiots a sign! Sorry been watching to much redneck comedy lately! Yep that is certainly one of the stupidest I have heard in a while!

Aren't they trying to be smart but in the most stupid way? They were caught with their pants down and their tactics to scam others only backfire on them as they aren't aware that they have used the wrong lingo. It is the most stupid thing for anyone to reveal their password as it is supposed to be a guarded secret of the user. Some people thought they can fool the web surfers with their intimidation. Lately they have been a lot of those rubbish in my emails too requiring personal info and one that is obviously a scam mail was purportedly from paypal requiring me to update my personal particulars. It gives me added job deleting all these dubious mails from my emails. Wrong language used is obviously the first give away sign that the sender is a con person trying to rope in unsuspecting people in the net.

I usually don't get anything in the wrong language. I love the ones that say my account with a certain bank is in jeopardy & they need to confirm my info. Funny I don't have an account there, never have. Same w/ the inheritances from some obscure relative overseas.

Fortunately i don't get stuff like that. sorry u do.

I had one of those in the mail, where I was supposedly some long, lost relative of thus-and-such person destined to inherit their million plus dollar estate if I provide these people with some facts about myself, such as birth date, Social Security Number, mother's maiden name, etc. to verify that I am in fact who I am saying that I am. First, they contacted me, so why would I have to prove who I was? Second, this person was from England or some other country on the other side of the ocean, so why was their estate valued in American dollars? Third, the letter was supposed to be from a legal firm in said country, but their English was atrocious! As far as I know, there might be some discrepancies in certain words from American "English" to UK "English" but the main principles of the language remain the same. This was like the person either did not go to school or they did not speak English very well. Either way, why would I want to respond to a legal firm that represents itself in such a manner, even if I did actually believe that what they were trying to "sell" me was real.

i've gotten one or two in the wrong language.. i suppose it may be a good thing they don't attempt to translate it,with some of the online translators it could end up hilarious. they probably don't check the origin of the email address.

Sounds like they are so dumb, thea...they think the computer will automatically transcribe it into Greek...or whatever language of the Country they are trying to spam. And what else is so inane..is to use your ISP, or your Bank. All of that is passe even in my books...and I am a computer neophyte. We have the big FedX one running around again, and the Hallmark Card one. Right in the middle of a long reply to your last discussion, my computer shut down for upgrades...now I must regather my thots! HUGZ & Cheers!

I won't ask which email account you are currently using, but I highly recommend using Gmail. For me, at least, very minimal and almost to a 0 spam for me, and I get to enjoy my real emails from people that I want, instead of a Viagr* scammy one.

Yes, that is pretty dumb lol. I've won millions of dollars from overseas, and lotteries from various countries, and heaven knows what else. Thank goodness that when we've been online a while, we catch on quickly to what is real and what is a scam! Some scams are so transparent, others look pretty real, but I never, ever give out my passwords or govt. or financial or other personal info. Karen

I have received a couple of weird looking emails last week. They were not in Greek, but in a grammatically-incorrect English sort of way. I say weird because the email itself was trying to be formal. It made it sound like it was coming from a big company. The funny thing is, the sender's email was from a hotmail address. The gist of the email: I could receive a new laptop, and work part time, if I could just send some banking information.
