@Johan The reason why it shows two different dates is because the email on the screen was sent on a Tuesday, but then he sent a followup email a few days later on a Friday. Presumably, the screenshot was taken after the whole scam adventure was finished, which is why the “You replied on Fri 19/07/2019” appears at the top.

But my god, the pictures. THE PICTURES. They killed me. The keys for the lovely horse. (And bring you to the horse dentist.) I laughed so hard. Thank you Sir Shrimp, you made my day.
Glad you got the horse key, you should try exposing the horse scam where they sell you a horse without the key, i bought a horse last month and they didn't give me a key and the damn thing wont start, I've tried everything!
Maybe it has an emergency start button like mine did? On mine it was hidden in the exhaust port, and once I reached in to press it the horse jumpstarted immediately. Maybe try that with your horse? Also, kind of random, but I'm a prosthodentist so if you ever need my services for any reason (not that you ever would) I'll give you a good discount as a fellow horse-lover :) Let me know how it went with jumpstarting your horse!

Scammers who don't speak English will rely on a lot of pre-existing text that they have pasted in multiple docs on their computers - the various texts are formatted in random fonts and sizes from whatever the source material happened to be.

Sadly or gladly, their lack of ethics and intelligence rival each other in their race to the bottom of the barrel.

@@neolexiousneolexian6079 The most likely cause is that they're copying and pasting from Word documents into their email client, as by default this also copies the formatting (unless you use "Paste special" or Ctrl+Shift+V which is "Paste without formatting").

I'm starting to wonder if they do that because they think changing the font will bypass email filtering

Can confirm, that's almost exactly why they do that.

I enjoyed this. Recently a friend’s grandmother was scammed. Someone called pretending to be a grandson in jail needing money for bail. She unfortunately gave them $15,000 from her retirement nest egg. There’s a special place in hell for these people who rip off old folks.
She mistook the caller for her own grandson? The chances...
@@MLBlue30 Probably senile. Which is why its so disgusting
If you like this sort of scambaiting, there's a youtuber by the name of Kitboga if you haven't already heard of him - he does some scambaiting stuff, usually the kind on phone calls, often pretending to be elderly folk. He wastes hours of the scammers' time.
My late grandmother was called by these people and THANK GOD she called ME instead of calling them back.

But my god, the pictures. THE PICTURES. They killed me. The keys for the lovely horse. (And bring you to the horse dentist.) I laughed so hard. Thank you Sir Shrimp, you made my day.
Glad you got the horse key, you should try exposing the horse scam where they sell you a horse without the key, i bought a horse last month and they didn't give me a key and the damn thing wont start, I've tried everything!

What god forsaken computers are they using that change fonts three times every email?
Scammers who don't speak English will rely on a lot of pre-existing text that they have pasted in multiple docs on their computers - the various texts are formatted in random fonts and sizes from whatever the source material happened to be. As they attempt to form replies, they copy and paste bits into the email that they are sending you. Sadly or gladly, their lack of ethics and intelligence rival each other in their race to the bottom of the barrel.
TheRallyGamer to me it just looks like an email an angry prisoner would send you.
They don't know how to copy and paste in plain text.
@@sansilvius9547 Im pretty sure they also do it because only the stupidest people would fall for it and think its legit, which are exactly the people you want to bait into actually responding.

He may be merely a C-tier scammer, but his font game is out of this world!
I wanna know if they're manually changing the fonts or if they have a custom-programmed e-mail client to do it for them.
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 The most likely cause is that they're copying and pasting from Word documents into their email client, as by default this also copies the formatting (unless you use "Paste special" or Ctrl+Shift+V which is "Paste without formatting"). My guess would be that they have either several template documents, or several template emails, all with different fonts.
The question is whether he’s a genius at the word processor, or he doesn’t know how to use it so badly that he looks like a genius.
John barosa/warosa is an SS tier scammer.
They probably just copied n pasted from different sources thats why the font is all different.
