My rendezvous with an online scammer

Rent.com is infested with online scammer in the roommates section.
Here is my email converstaion with one such person. His second email was a dead giveaway that he was a scammer.
The oldest emails are on the top. The email content is verbatim. I have just rearranged the email top down for easy reading and reference. have fun !

YES i still have the room available.
i am sorry i cant type fast. the new boobs that i have hinder my typing speed. ok here are details. there is only one bedroom and we will have to share a bed. i hope that is OK. the rent fee is around 500$ and theres garage space. its near blumpkin ave, NY. yes elecronics are allowed. I myslef have many dildos that I use. the ribbed one particularly uses many voltage but it gives greatest pleasure.
no advance payment. you can pay after you move in.
i was born in blumpkin with one scrotum only. the doctors perfomed a major surgery for another one. however instead of having one bad one i decided to have no bad one.

i have attached my cute photo before my sugery but i swear to god i still look cute.
there are no hurricanes here except in our bed ;)

love
margaret

holy shit man !!!!!
i didnt realize that the fbi had bugged our conversations and now i got an email that have tracked you down and are flying down personally to kick your arse. when they pound your door, knock it down and then point guns at you, dont be nasty to them coz you know this gun & shit aint fun.
i always feel guilty of playing with dicks for too long so let me apologize.
and here's a tip: no one will ever know that you've had a lobotomy if you wear a wig to hide to the scars; stop posting your bullshit scam emails on the internet, and learn to control the slobbering. It's truly amazing the way you spew nonsense to rip people off, but then, making sense isn't your area of expertise, is it? Well, you're certainly thoughtless; I just wish that you were keyboard-less, too. someone famous said somewhere: "They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge."

beat it dipshit
