Excuse me, wth? And yep, that's hist FIRST mail.
Should I even bother with baiting him? I have a feeling that could do more bad than good, since he might actually learn something from the exchange. Rolling Eyes

Now what currency is that?

Better that being "married to a dead Englishman" I suppose.

Please Please, nobody teach this lad English. He could provide endless fun as long as he remains uneducated. Laughing

Eros? Probably the currency of Sodom... Laughing

Everyone who asked, got his details. Please no more requests, though - I think that four people at a time are more than enough for one lad. Smile

So, KD, where would our old buddy Ghost Dog rate compared to CFB's new pet "CELEB CHEKWAS.OPPONG"?

Posted: Sun Dec 16, 2007 11:54 am

^^ Especially one that is as linguistically challenged (we want to keep our political correctness, right? Laughing

) as that guy.

I'm still waiting for my reply though. And I didn't use any hard words yet...

Posted: Sun Dec 16, 2007 12:25 pm

It's honest begging, he wants 250,000 eros. He has nothing at all to offer to you in return. He will pretend to be your brother, or marry you if you like though. Confused

Not the world's best format, but like KD told you, not the worst.

You could ask him to be your brother I guess, then tell him he has to be baptised into the church of the severed penis or something. There's plenty of opportunities for shits and giggles here. I wouldn't invite him over for Christmas if I were you.

PDS: I thought he would come under a beggar lad too, but there simply isnt enough of a sob story, or - oh how do I put this... - Begging! in this email to even classify it there ... Confused

LOL

Its just utterly random! Very piss poor effort at the beggar mail. No dead parents at birth, no life in a homeless people place, no horrible ailment or lack of education (that I could at least believe) - not even poor starving pissed off children with no clothes because some evil rich guy wont send him money. Wink

I know Lads are lazy but this guy can't even work up a proper "woe is me" Sad

It is very disappointing.

Posted: Sun Dec 16, 2007 12:46 pm

Well, he does say his 'elder brother is died' (sniff) Crying or Very sad

Master Baiter Joined: 03 Jul 2007 Posts: 158

He did? Oh yeah, he did too. Its so random and out of place it didnt even stick to mind. LOL. 'Send me money, and a picture, and marry me oh and my elder brother is died, i'll send you my passport'.
Random... so very random.

You never noticed because you have no heart XPS Wink

Are you guys sure that lads character is a guy?

Quote:

if you want me to regard you as my brother

He/She/It doesn't say he wants to be your brother, he wants you to be his brother. So I'd actually think he's playing a girl here.

But might only be me, still not being used to read totally raped English...

Thats so not true! Sad

I do have a heart! When I find it again I will let you know!

Posted: Sun Dec 16, 2007 2:46 pm

Jesus rootuser, you're right! XPS has no heart, and I have no interest in marriage. At least I can say I lost mine after the event.

But but but...
But I'M the girl! (And more importantly, so is my character.)
Crying or Very sad

Seriously, though, I think that if the recepient was a man, the lad would make them his brother and if the recepient was a woman, our lad would marry them. *g*

Okay, so I wrote him first saying "this must be a mistake", but am now going to hand him off to Connie....[/code]

@cureforboredom:
You can continue being the girl.
I have contacted him both a male and a female character, so far only the female one got a response.

Seems I was the one to misunderstand the mail, because of it's really mixed up language.
And since he says he's Dr. Williams' brother, and to my char gets "Yours in love,[/b] he surely isn't playing a girl.

Also for me he gets straight to the point.

Dear 4g4th4,
How is everything both business, may God bless you my love one for getingback,

C3l3b,

He's right away going for the number, and at the end even says he's expecting a WU-number...

That's quick. If 4gt4th4 is supposed to fall in love with that guy she sure hopes he takes more time when they get together...

Now 3r1c also received a reply from him (to make sure if he's a boy or a girl I sent from those two chars), but somehow the lad is totally confused, because he sent 3r1c the reply which was for 4g4th4, and I cannot be blamed for this error, I have not mixed up mail-addies...

He even addresses 3r1c with

Quote:

Dearest 4g4th4 Sm0ld1k my,

Okay, now I got something mixed up, but not mail-addies... He sent to 4g4th4, but he forwarded the mail I sent him as 3r1c. Strange, but worth a question from 4g4th4 who that 3r1c-guy is. Laughing

I'd suggest you teach him some useful English phrases for future scams:

Halitosis: good character/reputation
I'm yanking your chain: So sorry to bother you...
Scumwad: rich person
Ura Nidiot: polite greeting to be used at the end of a letter

Well, my GIRL character didn't get a reply.

Father Charles on the other hand, did.
I can't believe these guys actually dig this stuff!

Quote:

Hello, my brother

I am very sorry to say this, but, personally, I do not have this
kind of money.
However, I might be able to help you in a different way.
You see, the religion I belong to, the Children of Chakra, is
aiming to create new branches everywhere around the world. We are
secretly supported by one of the richest men on earth, though I am
not allowed to tell you his name. To everyone who is prepared to
found a chirch for the Children of Chakra, he will donate $500.000
to the new church. If you do that, you could just take the money
you need and give it back to your church later, once you are able
to.
Are you religious? What religion do you belong to? And are you
ready to accept a different God instead? Will you bow to the mother
of Chakra?
If so, please contact me again and I will be glad to help you.

May the Gods be with you,
Father Ch4rles

Dearest ch4rles my brother;
