Scam Email: Johnson Mark
It's entertaining when the scammers don't even comprehend what order to put the first and last name for their fake email information.

Hi there - I had a comment from a reader on my blog post that I found quite interesting. I am an artist, with a website, and had been contacted by a scammer. I eventually caught on and made a blog post about it. People searching internet art scams sometimes get directed to that blog post. What you may find interesting is that my name is Mark Johnson. I wonder, is this scam you have dug up some sort of payback? Or am I just being a tad paranoid . . .
ReplyDeleteThat is funny, but probably a coincidence. I'm guessing they have some kind of poorly functioning program that randomizes fake names for them. It must be poorly functioning because we have seen where "last" names are used as first names and first names are used as last names.
ReplyDeletewith a common name, it is probably only a matter of time before some scammer uses that or some close variation of that (like this scammer getting it backwards).
