This is what happens when you look for love in spam mail

If you’re a person with an an email address, you’ve no doubt been on the receiving end of the old “scammer poses as a friend in trouble who needs cash quick” email. A common (and probably wise) reaction is to ignore or delete the email and move along with your life, scam-free. But why do that when there’s so much fun to be had?

Thankfully, comedian James Veitch takes it upon himself to (hilariously) test the limits of scammers by playing them at their own game.

In the second episode of our new weekly series, “Scamalot,” we witness an enthralling exchange between James and “Alex” – fictional lovers who hit a road-bump in their relationship as a result of their conflicting desires between money and love.

If an old friend demands money, surely it’s reasonable to request a little love in return?
