Every time I see one of these e-mails the first question that pops
into my mind is, "where do I get a customer like that?!"

The second thing that pops into my mind is that it can't be a "real"
job - that its most likely some high school kid who wants to be
famous, but not smart enough to figure out how.

I'm not a security "expert". I've never done a pen test. However,
everything that has been suggested, I already knew how to do - and
would have known to do it.
