Or, did you want to talk about how he might revise his strategy so that
he would be more successful getting money from more people who don't
know how to go thru' the gyrations to send him the $50?

Some of the people who read that are going to want to send him money,
but they will have trouble figuring out how to do it.  Maybe he should
have made it easier to print out something useful to a bank or western
union.  Then he could say, click here and print that;  take that to your
bank/WU and have them help you send the money and get the receipt or
transaction number.

The other issue we don't know is whether or not he plans to do anything
after he gets some money.  Is 'his' a good account or a stolen one for a
'hit and run' operation, or does he plan to milk the fish for more and
more products?

Maybe spamreaders should start a clinic to help spammers learn how to
hustle their gigs.
