So I opened the mail and my delight vanished as soon as I saw how crappy and bad the email was made. I mean come on if you're trying to scam people then make sure you're email is at least coherent. I was hoping for a little mental challenge and was hit in the face with this:

It was a truly pathetic try. None of the links were working which brought up the question of what and how he was trying to scam anyone into anything.

Bah sorry for my ranting but this really made me angry and I had to vent this somehow
