If I was to get a fake diploma, I’d pick a forger who could SPELL! But then, I have most of the real diplomas I need. Perhaps what this tells us is: if you are clever enough to figure out that a fake diploma needs to be free from typoes and look real, that means you don’t need it, and the spammers are adhering to some weird darwinistic logic. — Torill Mortensen —They Have to be Kidding (thinking with my fingers)
My guess is that this spammer, who promises a “full dmlpoia form non accieertdd
uneveriitiss,” is trying to get through spam-blocking programs that search for the properly-spelled keywords.
