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:
Linny Holley Linnyholley@yahoo.com
I am a loving, caring,responsible,compassionate and honest individual. I always value people’s feelings first and I want them to be comfortable with me. I always treat them as how I want to be treated, wit, honesty, sarcasm, and a good sense of fun and feels like the glass is half full rather than empty. I am a woman who is confident and strong in passions, work ethic, and personal relationships. I appreciate man and feel comfortable in receiving the same appreciation back. I’m an all around character with an easy smile. I’m easily amused and often amusing.I have a pleasant disposition, a compassionate heart, good manners and morals, I respect my man wishes, I am loyal, happy, trustworthy, and a bit of a romantic at heart.
I’m looking for a man with whom I can explore new dreams, passions or ideas and share everything together that life has to offer: including mutual respect, trust and affection. Someone that would become my best friend. A man that will communicate with me if there is a problem and tries to solve it together. I do not expect to have perfect harmony all the time: I do like to be challenged now and then. Compatibility is essential and integrity is a must

i am seeking for a serious Commitment and everlasting Relationship with a rightful Soul mate to Love, who is going to be Kind of Open, Honest, Caring and faithful man to Love and be with for the Rest of my Life Best Features:is my smile! About Me:Instead of just looking at pictures….do men REALLY closely READ PROFILES? I hope so because it tells a much bigger story of the person than just photos. I love the outdoors, live music, and being active whether biking, hiking, snorkeling, boating, sailing,or just walking. I enjoy dining out in new places, touring wineries, museums, taking drives to no where in particular. I love the mountains and beaches – enjoy travel, concerts, live theater. I enjoy most anything and being able to share it with someone special is what I am looking for. I am lace N roses too for nine where the shouting happens. Tell me about yourself – what your favorite activity is, about your work, your kids, your hobbies, what music you enjoy. If you are from anywhere please detail what part of town. I don’t spent a lot of time on these sites so please if you have interest do more than send a flirt. Send me an Email with some information about you. But do read my profile closely first and learn A LITTLE ABOUT ME. About the one am looking for:I enjoy a gentle man that has God fearing who makes me laugh, who can carry on a conversation and feel comfortable in most any social situation who also enjoys going out and doing things versus sitting at home watching life go by on the television. I’d rather experience it myself than watch others do it on TV. I do, however, enjoy a few sitcoms and movies, but don’t consider myself a couch potato. I’m looking for someone with old fashioned traditional values who treats a woman with respect and courtesy – so yes opening car doors and pulling out chairs is sweet and appreciated by me. I love working in the yard, and helping with remodeling projects. I’d just like to add…:I enjoy the contemporary Christian church I attend and believe in the importance of a couple having the same faith and bond when it comes time to enter into a more long lasting relationship, so meeting someone who shares my Christian faith is important to me. I also value family and friends and hope a person I meet shares that traditional value.

A Note About Labeling!
We often use the term ‘scam victim’ in our articles, but this is a convenience to help those searching for information in search engines like Google. It is just a convenience and has no deeper meaning. If you have come through such an experience, YOU are a Survivor! It was not your fault. You are not alone! Axios!
A Question of Trust
At the SCARS Institute, we invite you to do your own research on the topics we speak about and publish, Our team investigates the subject being discussed, especially when it comes to understanding the scam victims-survivors experience. You can do Google searches but in many cases, you will have to wade through scientific papers and studies. However, remember that biases and perspectives matter and influence the outcome. Regardless, we encourage you to explore these topics as thoroughly as you can for your own awareness.
Statement About Victim Blaming
Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and to not blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and to help victims avoid scams in the future. At times this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims, we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.
These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.
Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org
