Sit down,cat3movie folks. The Anthony Scaramucci drama just got even crazier -- thanks to a self-proclaimed "email prankster."

According to CNN, the prankster posed as former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus from a mail.com account, and reached out to Scaramucci, who resigned Monday from his job as White House communications director.

This exchange came the day after Priebus stepped down, according to emails shared with CNN by the prankster:

Not Reince Priebus: "I had promised myself I would leave my hands mud free, but after reading your tweet today which stated how; 'soon we will learn who in the media who has class, and who hasn't', has pushed me to this. That tweet was breathtakingly hypocritical, even for you. At no stage have you acted in a way that's even remotely classy, yet you believe that's the standard by which everyone should behave towards you? General Kelly will do a fine job. I'll even admit he will do a better job than me. But the way in which that transition has come about has been diabolical. And hurtful. I don't expect a reply."

"Read Shakespeare"

Scaramucci: "You know what you did. We all do. Even today. But rest assured we were prepared. A Man would apologize."

Not Reince Priebus: "I can't believe you are questioning my ethics! The so called 'Mooch', who can't even manage his first week in the White House without leaving upset in his wake. I have nothing to apologize for."

Scaramucci: "Read Shakespeare. Particularly Othello. You are right there. My family is fine by the way and will thrive. I know what you did. No more replies from me."

Before that, the email prankster contacted "The Mooch" as Jon Huntsman Jr., who has been named ambassador to Russia, from a Gmail account.

This happened before Priebus' resignation was announced to the public. Here, the conversation centers around Priebus and White House Senior Adviser Steve Bannon.

Not Jon Huntsman Jr: "Who's (sic) head should roll first? Maybe I can help things along somewhat."

Scaramucci: "Both of them."

In May, Gizmodoshowed how easy it was to get a White House official to click on a fake link in an email. Apparently, it's also easy to get them to correspond with fake officials from personal email accounts.

Poor Mooch. This is just not his day.
