As many of you know, I love having fun with spammers. It's just so ... well, fun. Sometimes for kicks I'll respond to a spammer but will get no reply. Then, when I'm lucky, they will reply, and that's when my alter ego Holden McGroin takes over. Observe and note that all misspellings on my part are done intentionally.

My prompt reply:
That is terrible! Please, I want to help any way I can. Send me your money posthaste and I will first buy a computer because I have never used a computer and then I will do as you say and create my own religion and build my own church and welcome followers with open arms.
Yours truly,
Holden McGroin
That was Saturday, and I have yet to hear back from Mrs. Betty Richard. Which, I must admit, I'm a tad irritated about. To think, this person was wasting my time for nothing!
