Firstly, why do they think I can understand French? I listened to two of the French Pod Classes and I can talk in a rudimentary way about the weather and what day it is. However no matter how little French I have actually learned, ain't no way I'm "Cliquezing icire" (sic).


A rough translation comes out like this:

We have dtermin rcemment that diffrents computers connect on your Paypal account, Password and multiples checs taient prsents before connection. We now need assure you new information of your PayPal account. If it is not achev from here March 17, 2008, we will be constrained to suspend your account indefiniment, Because it can have utilis of fraudulent ends.

It seems that French spammers spell just as badly as the English ones.

Also, I received this on the 9th of April 2008. Why give me a deadline of March 17? I mean, I'm not trying to help them here, I just thought a bit more work went into these messages.

Perhaps they need to work on their comprhention.

  1. That's funny except there will be some people out there who take them seriously. I got one recently too except it was in English.

  2. At least the French is halfway easy to understand. Cheer up! It could have been in badly spelled Finnish.

    And you must admit it makes a change from the bi-weekly ones in badly spelled English

  3. That would be much more fun. The only word I know in Finnish is "kraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

    Apparently it's the word you say when falling off a cliff (from a Finnish comic strip).
