I wonder what they'd do if you emailed them back and said, Yep, Diane is my representative, send it all to her.

then they would win.

their goal is to engage you. getting your attention at all is the first win for them and loss for you. actually actively participating in that engagement is more win for them. It's like pushing back against a flood. It is futile, the flow will just go around the side and drown you from the back. The only effective way to respond is to leave. Move to higher ground.

I get your joke. But I think it would be wasted, they comprehend (and compose and correspond) like a robot. A waste of a clever idea. Wasted on them, that is. I got a grin from it.

A friend of mine got a message recently, the long-lost relative has died, you are the sole heir, please respond. It addressed her by name and was well written.

I should hope so, for a snail-mail letter from the SA public trustee.

For reals, it was genuine.

Hello,
I am a dying woman who has decided to donate my estates and
Sum of 20million pounds to you. You will claim legally for
charitable purpose and good work of the Lord
I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,
kindly get back to me if willing to accept my benevolence to you.
So I can have my lawyer immediately transfer all ownership
title to you.
Certainly I never met with you but my mind instincts me to do this.
I hope you act sincerely.
Thank you and God bless you.
Mrs. Lady Morgan

Hey wait, how come no-one is trying to scam me out of money?
Sigh. Even the scamsters know I'm poor

They don't know I don't have a penis though.
Odd.

How do you expect to earn money without a penis? Maybe that's what they're getting at.

Apparently only knights who run brothels need apply. But then, they'd presumably have more to give.

Once a Madam, always a Madam.
But once a Knight's enough for any man.
