Open Letter to the Lady who Tried to Haggle with me at my Garage Sale

April 20, 2016April 11, 2017 jj6k

Lady – what’s your problem? You were the first one there when the grinding gears slowly opened the maw of my garage, waking both neighbors in the process. You clearly know the drill. Maybe you saw my unconventional neighborhood signs? Most … Continue reading Open Letter to the Lady who Tried to Haggle with me at my Garage Sale

Across the Pond, then a Left?

September 19, 2014September 19, 2014 jj6k

This spam letter is straight poppycock – a scammer posing as a Brit who doesn’t know much about the US? Yeah, I’ll buy it. As always, spam letter first (unedited), then my reply. —– Greetings and how are you doing … Continue reading Across the Pond, then a Left?

Next of Kiln

July 9, 2014July 11, 2014 jj6k

For this last correspondence, I decided to take a softer approach, really get the dialogue going. I’m happy with how it’s all turned out, though I do wish these foreign philanthropists who keep dying would trust their money to better … Continue reading Next of Kiln

Refusing the Refuse

June 20, 2014July 5, 2014 jj6k

I have never received a spam letter like this again, and I suspect the strategy of supposedly sending someone and airline ticket that they didn’t actually purchase had a low success rate. I can’t imagine why? As always, spam letter … Continue reading Refusing the Refuse

Going Green

January 21, 2014July 5, 2014 jj6k

So I tried to sell a bike on Craigslist a while back, and received a number of entertaining replies. In this case, the “buyer” was short and to the point, so I decided to respond in kind. As always, spam … Continue reading Going Green

Let Friendly Love Continue

January 15, 2014July 5, 2014 jj6k

This spam letter has it all – international intrigue, money stuffed inside electronics and airport theatrics. It takes someone with a unique combination of riskiness and zero awareness to bite the hook on this one. As always, spam letter first … Continue reading Let Friendly Love Continue

Looking for Love

January 8, 2014July 5, 2014 jj6k

There’s so many of these that seem to find their way into the spam folder, some better than others. But when dreams align, special things can happen. As always, spam letter (unedited) first, then my response second. It helps if … Continue reading Looking for Love
