Unfortunately I DO have a Windows computer (not by choice I have to use it for work). Typewriters are a good antidote though, as you’ve clearly demonstrated. 🙂
So funny – next time they call me, I will definitely talk typewriter. Also nice fix on the vertical type alignment. I have alignment issue on my LC Smith 8 and will be borrowing my neighbor’s teeny wrenches. I may need to get a set of my own.

Type alignment was fun and easy to do on the Smith Corona.
The only answer for these particular scammers is to be as weird as possible!
