Like UFOs, you just never know when these nematodes will drop in.

Even being a spam, the subject is of skeptical interest.


Basically, we start with some post-diction... 'These events that just happen; yeah; I saw them coming. I just didn't tell anybody'.
Then move to the conveniently vague prediction: 'great events will happen in America soon'. When? Soon (aka within a few years). Where? Somewhere on the continent (and adjacent islands, just in case). What kind of events? You will know it when they happen. So... Yeah.
And then start putting fear into people's mind before getting ready to pump them for money:
If you have friends and families in USA, then you leave their probable places and positions. I can check that for you. We hope people can prevent that as soon as possible.


Nice little case study in paranormal scamming here...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

I actually groups psychic more along the trematodes than nematodes, as the former correspond to the so-called flat-worms which includes leeches and flukes.
