An Ordinary Mom's Musings

This is a random topic I know. But I’ve been wondering, “Who are these people writing all this junk mail???

”Greetings, I am writing you from (insert some country that you may not have even heard of and likely isn’t even real), in regards to a business proposition. I need to send you $100,000,000 to you.”

Is going to take us in?

Or what about all the sexually explicit ones? Just scanning my junk mail folder to make sure nothing that I need to see makes me want to throw up a lot.

As someone who studies psychology, I wonder who are these people?

Do they get paid for this?

Do their scams bring in that much?

How do they come up with all their hooks and craziness?

One wonders if they wouldn’t make more money writing bodice rippers? (Romance novels that have a character on the cover with their shirt torn.) Or is the money too slow for that?

Many times when I open my junk mail folder, I sit there and wonder.

Who are these people?
