That's a doozy, for sure. "to bind your websites from its rears and tears"
My favorite ones have been variants of a particular scam where someone tries to order a large quantity of something and wants it shipped with a fake courier service that we're supposed to contact for a shipping quote. Their goal is to send us a forged check and have us send real money to their fake shipping company.
Well, apparently they have a template for how to conduct the scam with an email that is supposed to be cut and pasted, that looks something like this:
My name is (NAME) i send this inquiry to your company in regards to order some (ITEM) i want you to email me with the sizes and prices of the (ITEM) you have in stock.
Immediate responds is require and advise on payment method.
You'd be surprised at how many scammers forget about the parenthesis and send emails like this one, which I've quoted verbatim.

to order some ( Ignitors ) i want you to email me with the sizes and
prices of the Ignitors you have in stock.

Nearly all of them forget to remove at least one set of parenthesis from the email - it's hilarious.
At least they do it all with kind regards
