First of all: Hi everyone - I'm new here. Been reading through 4I9eater for ages and even tried a bit of baiting before, but mostly just wet my pants laughing at the letters and pictures.

So finally decided it's time to have another go and grabbed one of the surplus letters. Wow - less than 24 hours and it seems I'll be incredibly rich with American oil money - yipieh!

Hello xxxxx,

Thanks for your response to my mail and the willingness to assist me with this venture. If we can establish a strong trust within the shortest possible time, then the Candy Bars will be shipped to you through the contact details you are going to provide. But talking about trust!!! We should be able to identify with ourselves like I rightly said by making available to each other our ID proof.

I am sending you my ID and a proof of the Candy Bars, so we know what we are doing as this is a life time opportunity for every one involved.

But first you have to assure me that you can handle this consignment and keep it in a safe and secure place when you receive it, and that you can be trusted in this endeavor considering the magnitude of this deal, we have to be very low profiled in our transaction and keep this between us till you receive the consignment.

If you think your house contact details is safe for the shipment, then we can proceed with it, so please re-comfirm the following information to enable me effect shipment plans.
Your Complete Names:
Full Contact Details:
Home Address:
Country:
City:
Personal Phone Number:
Age:

The phone number is required for easy contact by the diplomat when shipment is in motion.
Awaiting your quick response.

Your Buddy,
S6t. R33ve5.

In an attempt to win my heart and mind (or maybe shock and awe me into acting quickly - not sure...) he's sending me complete proof of my riches:

Now, normally I probably wouldn't have posted anything (ok, I'm excited - like probably all n00bs - yes, guilty as charged your honour), but I've never seen one like this before.

The passport looks pretty real, so I guess nicked? And a nice publicity pic from some campaign raid or something? Sorry for N00b question, but anyone come across these? Pretty convincing on first glance - in fact, I've already ordered my Lambo and a couple of Mercs.

And I can't see any candy bars in that picture - must be under that green paper stuff somewhere I guess. Rolling Eyes

Welcome to eater, WhackMeister! Guess you've read all the stickies? No?
Hop to it! Very Happy

These types of scams have been around awhile. I noticed the scammers name, S6t. R33ve5. Probably stands for "Scam 6 trunkbox. Revision 33 version 5." hehehe Laughing

Go grab a mentor, and bait safe. Let us know how this one goes. hehehe

I thought that was money nicked from Saddam Hussein's secret stash...

Candy Bars? Me thinks someone has been helping the lad "improve" his script Laughing

Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:47 pm

I even have a current lad on the same script, who's so lazy or stupid that he didn't even remove the part of his script, saying what part of the script he's on:
Mail from Iraq {Building trust}

Hmm.. let's NOT tell him about that one

~ SlapHappy,

Hopping through the stickies as we speak Very Happy

btw - I changed his name. Wasn't sure, so l33t3d it a bit (just to see a topic with his proper name pop up a minute later - doh...).

Looks well written on his part, though - we'll see where it goes...
