You'd think...

that if you were seriously intent on scamming First World English speakers, you'd employ one of 'em to proof-read your English and correct accordingly so as to seem plausible  .

Hear that Cokey?  Maybe international living should be a serious consideration for your next home---you and the wife can be "int'l spam editors".  As Ung points out, there is serious demand. 


Oh, and:

i see your swartz is as fake as mine.

Brilliant!
