I've been straight baiting a lad for a while now who has come at me with numerous characters. A few weeks ago, all went quiet, and now I've found out why:

Based on our findings in this investigastion department we wish to warn you against some Miscreants, Hoodlums and Touts who go about scamming innocent people by claiming to be who they are not and thereby tarnishing the image of this wonderful country. We were informed that some Hoodlums are contacting you in respect to the collection of your fund which was long approved in your favour with the Central Bank of Nigeria. As a matter of fact we have been on this investigation assignments for some time codedly known to no one but the Presidency and some top government official who are in support of this investigation team to help stop fraudalent activities in this country and as well restore the image that has been tarnished by the obove listed group of people.

Although we have been able to come up with some good result about the people that have extorted money from you illegally and I wish to list them so that you will personally indicate them by writing back to us with the name of whom scammed you among them as we want to make sure your payment is routed to you without any further delay and note that we will surely deal and bring to book the names of people below if only you will cooperate with us by coindicating correctly any of them.

The names of the Scammers that have been arrested are as follows:

You are further advised to deal directly with them and do what so ever you are asked to do because that is the only way you will achieve the success in the wire of your funds to you as designated. We applogise on behalf of the President and the people of Nigeria for any dealy and lost this must have coursed you in any way and promise that such thing will not occure again in the furture and should incase you are currently dealing with any one of them regarding your fund, we urge you to stop further contact with them as you are taking a very big risk and it might interest you to know that you will never get your fund from them as they have nothing to offer.The hoodlums will continue coming up with expences and thereby requesting for money from you untill you go Bankrupt.

I noticed he didn't list #5. I can only assume that was he who should not be named. I'll rest a lot easier knowing that guy is behind bars. Laughing

You need to send him another name so he can be put in jail also, or else you can only claim 10 badges. Laughing

My thoughts exactly, Ruck. Honestly, you have to watch these new mods like hawks. Laughing

I love this line:

Hedging your bets, much, Dr Ikenna?

Fine. I'll take 10 badges. Evil or Very Mad

But I'm sending a huge list of all the scammer names I've ever had contact with so they will be traced and brought to book. I'll be back to claim at least a hundred more badges. I want them polished like little mirrors. Laughing

@luckey...
Damn shame,
It appears that these guys have a 2 year "eloped the country" head start on the Clouseau's at the EFCC...

I'll bet they are hiding out under the desks of the [email protected] investigators... Laughing

Just send them the 10,000 or so Soludo email addresses. I'm sure he hasn't "eloped the country" yet.

I got an email like that awhile back claiming that I had been scammed and that they wanted to pay me or whatever and list the name of the person who done did it, however the funny part was I hadnt been scammed in fact most of the scam emails went into a junk box and were deleted. the few I actually got I replied and cussed the guy out and told him to get a real job (that was before I had any curiousity in scambaiting) the only funny part was it gave me a link to this site which is how I found it. Im still skeptical if it was actually from the authorities or not. anyway it might be legit, Im just sayin thats my story, but im new at this so I could be wrong. Very Happy

^^Do you still have the email that linked here? I'd love to see it.

Recovery scams are common. They probably started as a means of getting the last drop of money from victims who wised up. Now they are often sent out blindly hoping to catch a former victim, or hoping to catch someone who is willing to make a false claim. They can be fun to bait.

Not a chance. Very Happy

Oooh, it most definately is NOT legit.

As Luckey mentions, this is a "recovery scam" which targets people that have already previously fallen for a scam.
Many victims find it very difficult to accept that they have been scammed and that their money is lost forever.

So these people are ripe for a scam that offers to recover all of their stolen money and prosecute the scammers..

For a small advance fee of course.... Wink

nice job on the badges luckey Wink

^^^yep, they'll assign an investigator to the case and they'll ask for travel expenses. my lad only wanted $850. quite a bargain i must say.

i also used that original scam email on a couple of my baits, changing the names in the letter to include theirs made for a bit of fun...

Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 3:01 pm

I'm stunned! Mr. Gomer didnt make the list? Slacker.

Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:59 pm

@wanamaker - my thoughts exactly. But then I figured Mr. G. is either extremely clever or even more to be feared among lads than He Who Must Not Be Named.

Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:04 pm

#5: He will never be caught.

Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 7:04 pm

Luckey, I just cannot stand that your request was ignored. Therefore I being the kind generous "twisted dude" that I am, present you with this:

Your smile is all the thanks I need... Very Happy

Nice badge. Wear it proudly. Mr. Gomer is in fact #5 on the list.
Go get him, luckey, if you dare! Smile

the recovery scam email I got was funny cuz they included the link to this site (which is how I found this site in the first place) so I guess giving a link to a scambaiters website makes ones scam a lil more believable I guess? I still say the guys smokin funny pot. . .

Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 11:39 pm

This is all very well, but I still don't see anyone volunteering to pretend to be a lad in order to counterbait Luckey.

Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2008 12:07 am

But, but, I thought... that... we don't need no stinking badges... or something...
