I received a fax today about a person wanting sushi for a party, I replied (first email posted in red) only to get the second email on this post. The scammers must be running out of people to scam. Well was good for an early morning laugh today :D



Hi David



The price for 250 California rolls would be $875.00. Each roll would cost $3.50 each and is cut into 8 pieces. If you only wanted 250 pieces of sushi than it would 32 rolls @ $4.50 each for a total of $135.00. We accept Visa or MasterCard and we are located at #(*% Steele Creek Road , Charlotte .

All catering orders must be paid in full 5 business days before the order is picked up. This order would need to be settled on Monday 10/25 in order to be picked up on Friday 10/29 at 3pm


AND THE REPLY IS.....................




Hello,
Thanks for your swift response,Am okay with the total cost $875.00 .I will need a little favor from you bcuz i haven't pay the FOOD carrier that will be coming for the pick up
I want you to add extra $750 to the total cost of the food and you will help me send the $750 to the food carrier via western union, so they can come over for the pick up also add $50 as a tip for the errand you doing for me , am asking for this favor due to my disability and i am at the hospital will undergo surgery in 4 days time..that why am asking for the favor so can you add it all and let me know the total cost plus the food carrier fee. Am Sorry for what ever inconvenience .

Thanks and stay blessed

David

    I love how most if not all scams use incorrect grammar. If you want to fool someone, at least make it seem like it's not a scam from a foreign country.

    I thought this was somehow related to the Tucker Maxx "Sushipants" story. The kind of story that legends are made from :)

    Seriously, what language is that reponse in? That's not the English language I've come to know...

    that's great. it's amazing that scammers haven't caught on to the grammar issue.

    I love how they think little religious messages add to their credibility "stay blessed"

    This poor guy David probably has a wedding party waiting for the sushi and you will disappoint them. Oh well, he will be in the hospital anyway, but his brother, head of the mafia, will be somewhat put out that his only sons wedding was destroyed by you. I can only imagine the consequences... :)
