At worst, the scammer drops it as soon as it's clear it's a kid.

There are a few things in the Engrish of Atomic Shrimp's scammer that would signal they come from the French speaking parts of Africa. "Is it that you doesn't understand English" is a very French construction. In times when they say "United Nation" or "United State" they're often being used as adjectives, such as "United State Financial Crime Network". That could be because they learned that adjectives must not be declined in English (e.g. Les chats bleus, instead of bleu), so they could maybe be instinctively removing the plural because of that.

What do you suppose we can guess about the identity / social class / educational level / ethnicity of the scammer?

[@CST1992]

@@alexmuenster2102 "You and I" is actually the official way of saying it - look it up. "You and me" is the unofficial way.

[@alexmuenster2102]

@@CST1992 Incorrect! It depends upon the grammatical CASE. In the Dative Case (governed by such prepositions as "between" or "to") or Accusative Case, it MUST be "you and me." But in the nominative case, it would be "you and I." Examples: "You and I are friends." BUT "They saw you and me" (Accusative). Or: "Between you and me.." (Dative).
