Scam emails in Singlish.
Long time never email you lieow, heh. Anyway i got one new lobang to introduce you, err.. this is not those scam emails that you receive which will promise you don’t know how many millions if you send them money. No need credit card no need brain juice, no need big investment (We are talking about around SGD$17 here only) SHIOCK MAN!
While I have seen countless schemes from Nigerian gentlemen in my inbox, this email caught me completely by surprise. It is the first time I have seen dodgy scams crafted in Singlish, and truth be told, I actually thought it was an email from someone I knew. At the end of the day, while they’re all slimy, conniving, thieving bastards who ought to be hung by their balls, you have to give them some credit for the level of customization they have done. And then hang them by their balls.
