Hello
how are you my name is miss Jennifer
please Write me message direct in my email address ( Jennifer . . . @hotmail.com )
I have some details to share with you privately since it will be favorable to you. But i don't share my personal info on a social network so feel free to write me via ( Jennifer . . . @hotmail.com ) Thank you!!


And yes, I think it's okay to publically call spam artists out. It's part of defending ourselves.

I'm not including the full email, because I'm not going to give the spammer that publicity.

And, I don't think we should publically talk about how this badly fails as any kind of bait on the hook, because that would just give the spammer more information. This is something we can privately talk about in PMs if needed.

In general, I think we just want to approach this in a low-key and mater-of-fact manner.
