Scammers are so lame.
Just look at the grammar and names they are trying to use..? So obvious.
Wouldn't it be funny if they just used their real name, like:
Thank You,
Arishmahad

Why don't you just have some fun with them? Whenever I had someone like that contact me and ask for my bank info I would give them info like this:
Mr. Edit
1234 Main St.
Anytown USA
Ph - (xxx) xxx-xxxx (phone number to local FBI office)
Bank info:
International Bank of Pancakes:
acct # - Edit

With all the publicity about scammers and Phishing messages, I find it amazing that ANYONE responds to these. Occasionally I will open one just to see what kind of line they are laying out. The last one was the $50,000,000 cashier's check from Nigeria! Sure, someone is really gonna send a total stranger something like that!

EDITED...
That's the first time I've been edited for words that kinda sounded like other words and initials that kinda looked like they might be some other kinda words that may have been bad or something... maybe
ps - moderator - no need to scold me in private - I should have known that those "almost-a-bad-words" would never pass here.
