Is it just me or have the lads been quiet this holiday period?

Do the lads get Christmas vacations?

Some of my regular lads stopped writing to me around December 24,
others stopped on December 26.

My lads have not been emailing me as much this holiday. I do find that a lot of them seem to take a bit of time off. You know they have hard work, they need a vacation.

Absolutely yes, they've quited down. Nice break for me as well!

ALTHOUGH, just after Christmas I got a big avalanche of mail. I suppose a few are still trying to cash in on the Christmas spirit.

Yeah, it got quiet for me, too. I expect they will have to resume activities on an increased scale to pay for the festivities....

None of the people I e-mailed before or during Christmas answered me back. One person replied when I sent her a post-holiday e-mail (and remembered what I had said in my first letter, interestingly enough), but it's as if no one got my letters during the holidays.

Well, I guess they must busy with Xmas shopping and New Year's Eve party preparations.

My investment scam lad was kind enough to email me that he would be on vacation over New Year's weekend.

I have some bad news from the DHS regarding his application for certification as a financial/legal service provider when he gets back....

Must have a good batch with the exception of Xmas Day have had a steady stream of Email. A couple of my lads were back at it Boxing Day morning.

I wrote to all of my lads this morning (around 7am PST, 1500 GMT) and
two have answered.

One told me he spent Christmas with his family in Ireland.
But his email IP address was somewhere else.

2 of my lads have been as busy as ever. The other one seemed to take a break around Xmas eve and hasn't come back yet.

Of the first two, the original character claims to be emailing me from his holidays in the Bahamas. Laughing

Funnily enough the IP checks out to the same place that "Postbank Netherlands" writes from. Which of course is Lagos.

As others have said, they do seem to settle down between Christmas and New Years. I think that they go to church more and pray that God will give them everything they deserve in the following year. Rolling Eyes

All mine seem to have gone on holiday, yet many of them wanted me to be rushing around sending them money on Christmas Day or Boxing Day. Confused

Both Lads and Vlads do often take (and quite rightly deserve Wink

) a break at holiday periods, many of their victims are going to be away and the fake barristers are on vacation anyway.

This Link should give plenty of information on when Nigerians take holidays and what they are likely to be doing.

Please keep in mind scammers from other countries in Africa may not have the same holidays but it should be a good guide.

Some of my lads haven't emailed me since before Christmas.

I wonder if they dropped the unproductive accounts for the new year.
