Hello I'm New here! Joined: 27 Mar 2008 Posts: 4

Sorry, I am new to this forum so excuse me if this has already been posted. Anyways, I have never gotten a scam bait email from someone claiming to be the son of a dead celebrity. It appears that Anna Nicole Smith's only living son lives in Nigeria and needs my help. This would mean that Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern who was born on September 7, 2006, had a sex change, moved to Nigeria and became very proficient in banking laws. Here is the email,

Technically, this probably should be in the surplus letter forum. But I'm going to leave it posted here because it's such a hilarious scam that it deserves more attention. Laughing

That is positively priceless. I suspect this lad is going to be thrilled at how many victims he gets from spamming his format. Twisted Evil

Try again - he actually died 9 years later.

This lad sure didn't his research. I agree with hilarious, and everyone should bait him heartily. Laughing

I asume the first response was something along the lines of:-

Dear Mr Son.....

What a spanker! Razz

I shall require many many photographs of his dear departed Mom...

Death has a really bad habit of doing that, doesn't it? Rolling Eyes

You would think that one wouldn't totally mess up the date of his dear departed momma's death.

It was actually February 8, 2007.

Looks like someone got a bright idea and shared it - I just got a letter from Yasser Arafat's widow.

This one looks too good to pass, I'm in xD

Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:34 am

I'm in too. This just sent:

Quote:

Mr Smith,

Omigod! Your mother was my favourite MILF! I cried when I heard the sad news!

I know that's probably a tad tasteless, but I have to be straight with you.

What's the deal here? Tell me more.

Regards and condolences,

I got the exact same mail that Yastreb posted, and also the lad got my last name wrong, he deserves a slap xD

Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:25 am

This one is a rank beginner if ever there was one!

He can't be bothered writing my baiter name at the start. What (or who) the hell is Ichigo? And how stupid is that bank's email address?

Quote:

I'm baiting this guy too. It's just too good to pass up. I've fed him a pretty wild story; I'll post it if he falls for it.

One of my baiting characters is called 1chigo Kur0saki, it seems that the lad just doesn't know who is who... xD

I got a mail from him addressed to J4ck Sundh3im, is that one of you, guys?

Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 1:45 am

For what it's worth, I just sent him an offer to join my special scamming gang.

Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:54 am

Since this guy is that extra special kind of numbnut I'm trying a new modality on him where I slip an insult (from all languages) in every sentence. Lets see how long it takes him to catch on Razz

Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 12:21 pm

He's just not trying!

I got a reply from the 'bank' which read in part:

Quote:

Mr INSTRUCTED US TO TRANSFER HE INHERITED FUND 12.5 million DOLLARS INTO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT.WE ARE READY TO REMIT THE SAID FUND INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT ANY DELAY. OUR BANK IS REQUESTING FOR SOME NECESSARY LEGAL DOCUMENTS FROM THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT HERE IN NIGERIA SIGNED BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE HIGH SUPREME COURT, AS YOU ARE THE NEW BENEFICIARY OF THE FUND.

It then gave me a list of documents and a lawyer's details.

That bit about the new beneficiary prompted a question, followed by another question:

Quote:

Something confused me - what you said and what they said about me as "THE NEW BENEFICIARY OF THE FUND". Why are we doing this? You're not dead! You inherited this money fair and square from your Mom, so why put it in my name? It's fair making my head hurt!
Please clear this up. And please, tell me about life with Mom! What was it like sharing the house with a sex symbol?

His answer?

Quote:

My Dear,
I receive your mail well understoos,so all you have to do is to follow any instruction that the bank will give you ,so that the fund we transfer into your account. I wish good luck.

Boring. He needs stirring up!
