Anyone want to give odds on whether he'll twig:

Fr4nk W00dward (scammer)
Ge0rge Herm4n Ruth (me)

Following the stardard "someone says you are dead and they are stealing your money" scam letter, I respond:

No I am not dead. I just went to the doctor this morning and he said I am alive. Do you want his medical report to prove that I am alive?

Ge0rge Herm4n Ruth

Dear Ge0rge Herm4n Ruth,

Your mail reply received has been of great shock to me and the other staffs of the Bank. How could one come up with this picture evidences only for wealth claim, it is unfair.

Attached here are the pictures he presented that you are dead.

With this, our bank contacted the British Security Operatives to get him arrested for prosecution. And you are then required to send your informations ( Contact address.........., telephone.............., Banking details..............,) for the transfer implementation.

More update will be given to you as to the legal sequence of the fund on your name. The amount is Ten Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (us$10.8M).

Yours Faithfully.

Dear Frank,

I am very distressed about this. Why would you accept these photographs as evidence that I am dead? Why would you not ask to see a death certificate? Are you mentally challenged?

Now I am very confused. I think I am still alive. Maybe I should go back to my doctor today to make sure. Shall I send you a copy of my doctor's report stating his professional opinion that I am still alive?

Ge0rge Herm4n Ruth

Attn: Ge0rge Herm4n Ruth,

This is to update you with the Court Nullification report. The news reaching our bank this Afternoon is that the arrest warrant of Mr. Rick Jones and Dian Cox, has been endorsed for prosecution.

Your next of Kin's name is required in the Non-revocable guarantee Recipient Bond which is to endorsed by the court.

You are advise to forward your bank account details where this fund could be transferred in your name. Transfer implementation of this fund will commence once we receive your bank account details and do send the doctor`s report.

Do provide it.

Yours In Service,
Yours Faithfully.
Mr. Frank W00dward

Maybe this reply is going a bit over the top but I gave it a try just for fun:

Dear Frankie,

I think I am still alive but I am not sure. I am very confused about this. On my doctor's report it does not say whether I am alive or not. What do you think I should do?

Of all the people who have ever said that I am dead, only one of them was ever right. So what do you think?

Please reply right away.

Sincerely,

(The Late) Ge0rge Herm4n Ruth

Even if you can prove that you are dead. Provided your lad thinks he can get �� out of you, he won't stop trying. No doubt he hasn't heard of Legal Aid in the UK, so, as soon as he tries to hit you with that you can claim that, due to your disability (being dead) you can claim Legal Aid to pay for the Court Fees.

bunnyrabbit, that is funny, it remeinded me of a character on a comedy/parody of soap operas titled "Soap". One of the characters "Burt" decided that he was invisable because when he walked into the room no one talked to him.

Your character dosen't know if he is alive because no one has told him he is alive. LOL_sign

This is what one Lad tried on me:

Quote:

Dear,
Sorry for not getting intourch with you ealier, It was as a result of an urgent meeting in respect of the transfer of the fund which took me to Abuja. All you have to do now is to recomfirm to me your Banking details, Contract details,Fullname and Amount expecting,because what i have here,from one Mr Philip Ibe, who claims to be your personal attoney is as follows:
Bank of America,Acc No:0064122888, RT No:2011000081, Swift code:BOFAUS3N and,beneficiary:Philip Ibe.kansas city.
I also have another account which you are the beneficiary.
Please reconfirm to me the original information to avoid divertion of your fund into a fraud account.
I call all that has happened to you in the past abolute misconduct and conspiracy on humanity and pray that ALMIGHTY ALLAH will forgive us and give us victory.
Your attoney Mr Philip Ibe told me that you are dead, but i doubt, so send me your phone number to prove this wrong.
Send me this information so that i can go ahead in this transaction.remember that an affidafit and nominalization of your account has to be done.
Remember that this arrangement superbs any other arrangement before now and for ever.

I decided to be icily dignified:

Quote:

Here are the facts.
I am not dead.
I do not have an attorney named Phillip Ibe and no-one of that name is allowed to act for me.
I do not live in Kansas City; I have never lived in Kansas City.
I suggest you have this Phillip Ibe arrested for fraud, and then confer with Mr James on the status of my funds. He has my details; talk to him.
I have had enough gorram trouble with your bank; don't cause me any more.

The Lad didn't improve:

Quote:

I have seen your mail, but i want to let you know that the most important thing is for you to reconfirm to me your Banking Details where you fund will be transfered into and your working telephone number to convince me that you are alive,because Mr Philip said that you are dead,all the fund have been processed and witing for transfer, so you need to act fast so that your fund will no be sent to the Kansas city USA.

My reply was too much for him:

Quote:

The fact that I am writing back to you should be proof that I am alive! Holy Mother of God and all her little nephews, do you think I'm a gorram zombie?
I don't have a working phone number as I can't use telephones. I've explained that (in detail) to you people before.
As I told you last time, ASK MR JAMES! He has my details!
One last thing - Phillip Ibe insist that I'm dead - isn't it down to him to prove that? Didn't it ever occur to you clowns to ask for a death certificate?

I admit, I don't really have a plan for this one other than to get him off script (which he is) and maybe get a funny sig line out of him and waste his time, of course.

If he hasn't twigged yet I think my next reply will be that I went back to my doctor and his preliminary opinion is that I am alive but he has ordered more tests just to be sure. Those familiar with the American medical system may find this perfectly normal in their experience. Wink

@bunnyrabbit - Tell him you are breathing, but you have no heartbeat, and the EKG shows no brain function. Your body temperature is 70 degrees, too, but you do not feel cold, at all. hehehe Laughing

That looks like a real bank account... has it been forwarded to Alan?

Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2008 7:16 pm

Actually I hadn't thought of forwarding the banking details to Alan because I assumed they were false - just part of the modality.

Dear Frankie,

I went back to see my doctor again. His preliminary opinion is that I am alive but he wanted to run some additional tests to make sure. He will give me the results on Monday. Is that ok?

Dear Frankie,

You don't understand. My doctor is not sure yet whether I am alive or dead. I cannot tell you definitely that I am alive until Monday. I might really be dead and I never would want to lie. Please wait until I get the test results Monday. If I am dead, I will inform you immediately.

I just read an article tonight about a US woman who was declared dead(someone miss-typed the SS # of the real death) and for the past 8 years she has been declared dead by the IRS and credit reports on occasion until she gets it fixed. I can't find the article though, but maybe you can work something like that into it now.

'The bank froze my funds because the documentation was sent out that I really was dead and my credit report says so' or something like that.
