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 MortensenThey 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.

  • The even funnier consequence is that we may all need to scramble our emails to avoid the spam filters, as they search our emails and block it because we happen to do research that includes blocked words. Good thing English is so easy to understand, even scrambled!
