I know these email scammers are just trying to make ends meet, but this is incredibly poor quality control. I might complain to the ombudsman. Such shoddy workmanship in my inbox, I'm almost approaching being disgusted.

The register had an article about this that they have a 1 in either 200 or 2000 hit rate, and thus it is still worthy for them to keep on scamming.
One born everyday comes to mind, have a read of these
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/16/taiwanese_hunk/
| Quote: | A Taiwanese man has been cuffed for allegedly posing online as a "youthful male model" and persuading up to 20 females to have sex with his father, the China Daily reports.
Hsu Shian-ming's internet pitch got a lively response from women "interested in romantic liaisons". The 55-year-old scammer convinced his victims that his old man was suffering from prostate cancer - a condition which meant he needed constant sex to stay alive.
The angels of mercy obliged, administering life-saving treatment to dad in various Taipei hotels. Pop's cancer was evidently serious, because the women were "persuaded into unconventional sex acts varying from putting foreign objects in their private parts, anal sex, or threesomes", the China Daily indelicately puts it. |
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/02/taoist_truck_driver/
| Quote: | The Hong Kong truck driver who persuaded an aspiring model he was a Taoist Mao Shan master, with the power to grant her career success in return for sex, really was able to boost his clients' careers, according to a satisfied customer.
Au Yeung Kwok-fu, 55, is in court on nine counts of "procuring unlawful sexual acts by false pretences" after he had his evil way with the 19-year-old wannabe clotheshorse between April and December 2007. The only reported result of the guru's attentions was an unwanted pregnancy, which the aspiring mannequin subsequently aborted. |
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/11/113_56211.html
Which is some good news, in that in Korea is is now legal to get women to have sex with you on the false promise of marriage (in 2002 there was a law which set a precedent which made this illegal!).

Would it be wrong of me to say, when I worked at Fujitsu, there was an African chap on the help desk and he spoke in exactly the same way as this message is worded.
I'm absolutely not implying he is the author, but it seems very coincidental that the two Africans I met in real life (I'm joking, some of my best freinds are black no, really, I have them round to dinner parties all the time, one at a time mind...) speak in exactly the same verbose, pleonastic and prolix way?
I rather suspect it is not tribalism that has kept the dark continent back in terms of modernisation. It's just that they like to discuss things (as most thinking citizens do) so it takes them 10 times longer to come to similar conclusions as us in the developed world.
So much for having a vast and capacious vocabulary...
