I could tell you, but the moderators would take my post down. 
Hello man! You look amazing! Let me introduce myself! I am Olga from Russia! I am looking for a caring and self-confident man for a normal communication and serious relationship! I suppose that you have all of these qualities!
I suppose so, if you say so. 
Well OK, maybe you could use a little more selfconfidence.
And yep, you're a bit older, but you do still look amazing. Checking the number of helpfull posts you wrote here there's also no point in arguing about the caring part. 
Hi,
Olga is two timing us again..
Tom....
Wait, what? Olga wrote to you as well?
Sheesh!
Well now I know how lucrative being a spammer is. I got this spam message (heh) offering to help me be a spammer:
We can send out Millions of emails for you.
...
Basic Pricing:
2 Million bulk emails only for $399
10 Million bulk emails only for $999
You can have 10 million people hate you for just $999? Sounds like a bargain.

These "ladies" that are writing to me have some interesting attributes:
- "I am neat" - could be handy if I wanted my room tidied
- "I am well-appointed" - sounds like an apartment
- "I live in the same place as you" - not that I noticed
- "I am very beautiful" - however obviously not very modest
You better not let your better half see those communications. On the other hand, it sounds like some of your suitors might be good at raising chooks, maybe there is something there after all.

They appear to be good at raising something. :o
If it's only one's hopes.
Another one:
I beg your pardon possibly I'm not right. Only I crossed with you at the mall. You remember the woman in yellow trousers. Bye bye
That's pretty good. I guess she read your email address off your T-shirt when Miss Yellow Trousers bumped into you at the mall.
I've been investigating QR codes. Maybe I should put my email address in one of them, and have it printed on my T-shirt. Then any interested "well-appointed" females could more easily get in touch with me.
I see a great spot to put that QR code on, won't be missed by anyone.
You've got the same free surface as i have, just above your glasses.
There's got to be some talented artist that will be glad to tattoo it there for you, over there where you are.
My wife might think that is taking things too far.
Hi,
Any of you got the ATO phonecall yet? (ATO Australian Tax Office)
From Jason O'Connor.
Jason was kind enough to leave his name and a Canberra phone number to call him back, on my phone.
It must have been well rehearsed or a recording because it was just like reported below.
"This is Jason O'Connor calling you from the Australian Tax Office," the message began.
"The nature of the purpose of this call is just to inform you that a law suit has been filed against your name concerning a tax evasion...
"Before things go wrong against you, before one of the police officers from the local police department contacts you and issues a warrant for your arrest, call 02 6140 3445."
Then had the gall to say have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh yes "Jason" a good old Indian name....
I googled the phone number and of-course it rained hits and hits and hits, all from Jason's or two of his other mates making phonecalls.
Tom......
That tax scam is apparently ongoing here too although I haven't received a call from them yet but people are actually falling for it and handing over $10,000+.
I keep getting a recording which tells me that my credit score is good but would I like a credit card anyway? Yeah, right.

I have modified my approach to telemarketers in this way (in date order):
- Listening to them
- Pointing out I am on the "do not call register"
- Saying "I'm not interested, goodbye"
- Hanging up the phone without saying anything
I know they are just people doing a job, but I didn't install my phone, and pay for the monthly rental, to be harassed.
"I know they are just people doing a job, but I didn't install my phone, and pay for the monthly rental, to be harassed."
You are being a bit generous in saying ringing people to rob them is "just people doing a job".
They know they are robbing the people they are ringing so are simply thieves.
