this is a real smooth one...

I just had to post this one. Do you think anyone ever falls for this stuff? The English is awful, it's in capitals, and the lies are inconsistent. In one sentence they are a girl and in the next they are a boy. I find the whole thing slightly insulting. Do these conmen really have such a low opinion of us all?
