Scammer Grammar

Scammers are always looking for more effective words. Many people have learned to be on their guard, and they’re likely to suspect an overly aggressive phishing phone call from a fake credit card customer service agent speaking accented English. But victims still fall for the bad language use every day!

Online scammers use similar techniques. When texting or emailing their marks, or posting information in fake profiles, or messaging, they often work from “scripts” of prewritten boilerplate language. The most effective conversational gambits are saved and distributed to other scammers in the network, and they cut-and-paste the scripts into their grifts at crucial moments.

BUT THEY SOMETIMES ARE FORCED TO IMPROVISE!

This is where the scammer grammar becomes more obvious.

The following are examples of language we have seen and copied to share their unscripted writing styles:

I always treat people with respect and fairness. And I do not play games. My attitude towards life is simply living each day for all its worth, while making something for the future. I can be pragmatic at times, when it’s needed, but balance that with my own humor and lighter side of life. I have an ability to listen. I don’t consider myself as having any major personality flaws. I love learning and achieving my goals. My friends tell me that I am never boring. And they know that they can always count on me in times of need I am here for no other motive but only to find someone I can love with all my heart. This world is a harsh place sometimes. But when two people are right for each other, there is nothing they can’t do by supporting and loving each other. Are you tired of being lonely like me? Do you want to find your special someone you can trust completely? Do you still believe in true love? Are you kind, positive, reliable, faithful and honest in relationship? If yes, we could be right for each other.Please do not hesitate to write me. I’ll be waiting.

I’m educated, kind and tolerant. My heart is full of love to nature and music. I like reading, cooking, gardening. I am family-oriented. I have an optimistic outlook, but I am alone. I hope to meet a man who needs my tenderness. I want to love and to be loved. I don’t smoke. If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine… Knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you………

I am not looking for a penpal, but relationship leading to marriage. I am looking a man definite, self-confident, responsible, intelligent, polite caring and considerate of others. Someone who wants to live in harmony in love and with respect for each other – mental compatible with me, mature a man who knows what he wants. “Age does not protect you from love, but love,to come extent, protects you from age”

I would spend a tremendous amount of time try to explain the past and how it has forged me in to the individual that I am. I am a philosopher at heart and would spend my days analyzing, organizing, understanding the universe and it’s complexities. I would like to meet someone who- because of the myriad of facets that makes us who we are- when we interact, enhances us both. Life and shared moments/experiences become more interesting. In short, we like being together, life is more fun than there is.. my yahoo im and email address is (ninabrown300@yahoo.com)….Waiting on your response so we can chat on yahoo or send email to each other there since i don’t get on here often and will be taking my profile off here because i have found you…

I am looking for a partner that is as excited about being in a relationship as I am. It´s important to me that he is emotionally available and ready to be with a woman that wants to share herself with someone completely. I want a man who can enjoy the benefits of a woman who thinks a little chivalry and a certain amount of tradition are exciting while still appreciating the fact that she´s a progressive thinker socially..I want a man that looks stunning in a little black dress and equally handsome when I glance over at him at night sleeping next to me. I would like to find someone that is physically open and affectionate and understands how much even some of the little things can mean to someone.

Sherry cool_sherry_1@yahoo.com

I was looking for my happiness and still in my search, some people say it comes when you don’t expect it, others say we need to search and put our goals in front of you. I am romantic and believe in true, mutual love, when harmony always safes the family life, when it is only the laugh and positive around. I want to love and be loved, only people who love even once in life are the real people! Love gives us the special winds and protection, but we need to care and cherish it as much as we can.

I am looking for my man, the person who will communicate with my soul, bring me happiness and tears sometimes (it is life), who will fight for me and our family, with whom I will feel myself as the real woman. We can’t live without each other, missing each other, appreciate every minute of our staying together. Sharing and devotion are the main components of the strong and everlasting relations.

Hello Good morning my Dear how are you today….?
Oh my Dear i hope by the Grace Of God you are fine, well Dear Its really nice to read from you…Well, some more about myself and my family, I was born in Texas,San Antonio into a christian family with my father being a missionary. He was a single parent cos my mother died when I was very young and I was not opportuned to know her yet before her demise. This is really painful and I live with a dream of imagining the kind of mother she would have been to me.and my Father used to tell me she was grate, so I hope that close to my heart. I happened to be the only child and my father did not re-marry ever after. My father was my father and mother at thesame time as he gave me all the love and attention and I could ever need, and he makes me very happy. My father and myself lived in the United  states till I was 10yrs old before my father had to take this missionary trip to africa. He brought me here to africa with him cos I have no mother to take good care of me back in the states, and also cos he loved me so much and he wants me around him all the time and wanted to take good care of me. That was how I had to have my studies here in africa. After some years of missionary works in Southafrica where I had my secondary education, my father proceeded to Ghana for continuation of his mission and here, I continue my studies…Unfortunately for us after a couple of years, my father got attacked here by a gang of armed robbers and was murdered in the process leaving me all alone to myself which is the most difficult situation I have ever had to face in my life. well This was a sudden blow on me and it just seem that the only one thing that means the whole world to me was taken away. There was nothing I could do to reverse this to have my father back. All efforts to track this gang by the law proves abortive since the police here in this country are not competent enough. I mourned my father for a while,though still in my heart, but I knew I had to move on with my life and live good so he can be happy when he looks down on me from up above, so I did. Things got pretty ugly for me and it was hard for me to move on with my education and all…So, I put in for a schorlarship scheme examination(SSE) which I studied very very hard towards. This won me a schorlarship that helps me with the finances for my studies and my living while my years at the University lasts. I have been graduated for about 2 years now from the University of  Ghana with Banking and Finance as my major. I have since been looking for employment but up till this very moment, I am still unable to get hold of one cos this country has a very bad economy. High level of crime, corruption and poor leadership is an issue here too. I have written so many job applications and have applied for so many jobs both in banking and financial sectors, its so painful that I still cant get a job here and this really makes life miserable for me if you know what I mean. This is really killing the dreams of so many people here, and its so unfortunate that I study here. I really want to come back to the states but with my unemployment status, it makes it hard for me to afford my airfare and thats why I am still back here  struggling with getting hold of a job to help me save  up to come back to the states.

Mrs. Beatriz Yuri as_asian@yahoo.com.ph

Religion is very important to me. I am a very spiritual person, but only discovered religion a few years ago. I was raised secular and am still trying to fit the pieces of religion together.

One of my main goals in life is to attain a state of complete comfort with myself, while attaining proper balance of all my extreme personality traits.

I am a very curious person.

I have a very intense personality. I need both order and chaos. I am very spontaneous but at the same time I need structure. (A balance is sought after, but for now there are extremes.)

My name is Beatriz Yuri, The wife of Albert Yuri who was coordinator of Bayan Muna for Misamis Oriental and Chairman of MOFA. He was gunned down and killed in our home in the Philippine on July 20th, 2008. Before my late husband was killed, I inherited from his estate a total sum of ($ 9.5 Million Dollars) in a metallic trunk box and deposited it in a security and finance company ABROAD. This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a family treasure.
I hope that you can be trusted, that you will not sit on this money when you claim it. I have made up my mind to give you 15% of the total money for your help, after you have secured the box for my children’s future.
I can be contacted with my most private email address:

Hoping to hear from you soon,
