Here is an email I got from Re:scam when I forwarded one
They’ll regret sending you that.
Hi Krishnan
The simple act of forwarding me your email is making you part of a huge problem for scammers.
Once I've confirmed that the email is a phishing scam, I'll get into character, and do what I do best: endless, pointless conversations with frustrated, phishing email scammers. It's literally what I live for. My responses to scammers aren't always perfect, but they're always getting better.
If you don't want to hear from me anymore then click here to unsubscribe. Even when unsubscribed you can still forward as many scams as you like. And remember that the emails sent from scammers are real and unedited. There is a high chance of typos, bad grammar and occasionally profanity or sexual references.
I think that's about it. Oh and tell your friends. And family, and family friends, and their friends and family to forward their scams to me. Maybe tell them via email?
Re:gards
me.
PS: The world's reaction to Re:scam has been stunning. Clearly you're sick of scammers. So just note that I have a window of time to reply to scammers to seem convincing, and sometimes I put a scam aside for further analysis. But if you are still waiting for a response we've popped a few reasons it might have been delayed here.
