If you can spot it, you aren’t the mark.
This doesn’t make any sense to me.
Why would you deliberately make your bait less appealing to filter out the fish that might wriggle off the hook before you land them?
The typo’s are in order to evade bayesian spam filters which get suspicious about certain words.
The common formats are used because those are the ones that work.

Honestly people that do recognize it for what it is should respond. Keep them talking to waste their time so they can’t hurt someone else.

But then you’re also wasting your own time.

If we all wasted 5 minutes we could shut down the system.
People really underestimate the power of collective action. It’s just meat based ddos.

What a fascinating sentence.

I mean if “everyone” collective action ignored them together, no one would have to waste time ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But yes I understand it of course, protecting the weak is not a bad thing.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted. I always love talking to Indian scammers when they call about my student loans that don’t exist.

That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.

I had one Indian scammer use my name so I was interested. Then he asked if my email was still current and gave an email that I used like 20 years ago in middle school. I laughed and told him he paid for shitty info. It was a goddamn Hotmail account to give you an idea.

Their time is worthless, they use slave labor.
