Please please please share the email address! (PM or publicly.) I'm looking for some new lotto baits to start off and this one looks quite promising.

perhaps they realise that $300 million + is frankly unrealistic. took long enough.

I have to say that the best stringing along money I've used on a lad is £4,000. It worked quite nicely until I reported account after account to Alan and he sulked.

No, you have me beat.

I like the fact that he just copied it out of the scammer's handbook, and didn't have the brains to change the word "compliment" to "good day", or some other common scammer terminology.

I wonder if that would work on anyone? Don't they usually strive for overly wordy, "official" looking e-mails? Could a lad get lazier than this one?

This tiny scam e-mail is provoking a ton of questions in my mind.

Yes, as a matter of fact. I received one this month with:
Subject: CAN YOU DO THIS
with absolutely nothing in the body of the mail, at all. Laughing

I wonder how he expects to make any real money out of this one? surely even a victim would realise after sending more than you'd be getting back.

I suppose some vics wouldn't realise, but even so $14,000,000,000 sounds much more realistic to me.

I have been baiting a guy, who started with mail that had only subject "I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!".

Got a short one too. It appears they figured out that they need to pierce spam filters and they try it with the short mails.

There is always a fool and money to be parted. I hope in this case there will be many fewer fools Wink

Sounds like he's complimenting you on winning $5,772 .

His WU transfer fee better not be too big then.
