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’m easy to get along with I look at things that happen there is always an answer why some say I trust to easily. I’m a bit shy at first and will tend to be on the quiet side. I’m also not very good being the “damsel in distress” either. I consider myself a good listener and love to hear all about you. Talking about myself has never come easy for me. I don’t have children but can assume that if you do, they SHOULD mean the world to you! I do want to be a priority and not an option though. My motto: ” To Thine Own Self Be True

I look forward to hearing back soon,

Elizabeth

How are you? Yes, I live in Chicago. I’m open to a long term relationship. I like all different kind of music but I generally listen to jazz the most. It will be cool to get to know someone who likes to work out and keep active, maybe we could work out together and keep each other motivated that would be fun! What are you passionate about? What do you do for a living?… I want relationship that has a solid foundation from the start. I’m romantic, honest and loyal.. I do not waste my time or energy on short-term relationship. I want a man who is very faithful, honest, sincere and trustworthy,patience, respectful as well, I also need someone sweet, easy going/laid back, because I am very sweet, dedicated, simple, emotional/sensitive, grateful for what he has, has a good attitude, understanding, caring, well That’s what I’m looking for hope that’s not too much to ask..

Hope to hear from you

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

Am loving, caring and honest lady…I`m 5`7″ 120 with a athletic build, mentally stable, physically fit, a bunch of laughs, warm, caring, honest, good listening, God Fearing, and a positive person. I am real easy person to talk to and a good listener. I love to play golf and I enjoy chilling with my friend/family , I like going to the movies , or watching movies in my room , I like swimming , fishing, listening to music and dance to any kind of music, traveling , going bowling and also a good cook.
Typical formula with just a touch of Scammer Grammar.  You find that when they go from website to website, they include a lot of redundant info that is already in their details.  A normal person would talk about desires, needs, wants, not their height.
