Ohhhhh those taxi drivers!!! You will have to help him with this. Hope he has lots of time........ Very Happy

Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 5:36 pm

Well this 'relationship' has not got off to a good start, I've already given him a slapping for demanding money without even telling me about himself. I do feel sorry for him though and I will have to do everything I can to help him out Twisted Evil

You heartless swine! If your nephew was critically ill, wouldn't you be in a rush?

Where is he?? He left out a rather important bit of information.

Freight? He's shipping the nephew home by FREIGHT?

Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 6:46 pm

Perhaps he's sending him FedEx and somebody will have to cough up to release him.

I got a more coherent version of the basic scam a little while back:

Those cab drivers are a force for evil!

Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 10:00 pm

I hope they've got him lined up for electrolysis Very Happy

'cause if they don't have a donor lined up he's going to have to sit by his bed operating his kidneys using a foot pump.

I'm an expert you know. Shocked

...and what's this all about ?

I'm guessing the monkeys with the typewriters didn't come up with Shakespear after all.

I might have slapped him a bit too hard, he's not replied Sad

Perhaps a bit of a prod Smile

The first thing on my mind would be to demand money off of lots of internet strangers with a gibberish email.

Never mind, reply to him from another address (lots of addresses?) with a different tone, see if you can tease him out? Lads don't check where you're mailing from, but you can simply say you're mailing back from your home account after receiving his email at your work account if it makes you more comfortable.

Have fun!

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 9:30 am

Well it turns out I didn't slap too hard but now I'm getting emails that I cannot understand.

I replied that I was a little confused and couldn't really understand what he/she wanted and this is the reply I got.

We've gone from $2500 and a sick relative to $700,000 for school, at least that's the way I read it.
I reckon even with straight baiting this could go on for a while even before we get to a WU transfer.

I think he wants you to go on something like Yahoo chat, you could turn it into a love bait, Chat gives you the opportunity to have a high speed bait. Can be fun. If it happens that you are playing a male character your daughter could always happen by the computer when it is logged on.

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:37 am

Sounds like this lad is new to the game.
He seems a bit confused about what modality he is using.
Starts with the need to visit a very ill relative.
Then talks about coming to live with you.
Finally looks like he wants you to fund a school.

And if you have slapped him hard, you may have damaged the few brain cells he had left.
Laughing

Pretend you are a psychiatrist and tell him his emails indicate that his is a well balanced person and therefore you will do all in your power to help him.

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 11:33 am

I had wondered myself if I'd slapped hard enough to dislodge something.

Just checked the header on the email and the IP addy points to Vienna, Virginia, USA but he/she is saying Lagos. The email addy is actually from Israel. Perhaps it's all the travelling that's confused him/her.
We'll see where it leads but I think this is gonna be a fun one.

Definately all mixed up, poor kid, must be all the worry with her sick relative, or is she lovestruck, or worried about getting the school built.
Think I need to lie down in a cool dark room before I attempt to answer this one.

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 12:54 pm

Confusing indeed.

Can you post the email headers here and we can try and work out what is going on?

without seeing them I would suggest he is in Lagos, probably in an internet cafe that uses a satellite service (hence Israel).

He certainly isn't acting like a normal lad.

There is some more to the header but it's gobledegook, headertools tells me it's too long if I add the other stuff.
This points to Vienna Virginia though, the email addy is from some Israeli provider.

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 1:22 pm

^^^ The Israeli provider is most likely satellite internet provider Gilat, a popular provider with internet cafes in Africa.

As to the rest of the lad's output I think he's been reading Finnegans Wake Smile

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 5:12 pm

Guys this is really doing my head in now, does somebody else want to take him on cos I just can't understand a thing he's on about.

This is what I sent to him/her

Quote:

Perhaps you could send me your picture, you sound nice but a little confused and I would like to see what you look like.
Is your relative still very ill? Will he be going to the school that you are hoping to start? Perhaps I could be a partner and help you build your school.
We could set up some fundraising schemes. People in America love to help people that are less well off then they are and we can usually make thousands out of some fundraising schemes. We could set it up so that the schemes run in america and in your country on the same day so that pictures could be swapped. We can usually get the local papers involved which helps and sometimes we can get national coverage which makes big money. If we're crafty we could also make quite a bit of money out of it our selves.
Get back to me and we'll see what we can do.

And this is what I got back

I think he's a special one. Definitely needs to be initiated into the G0m3rB0yz. PM me his email address and I'll take him.

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 6:06 pm

The laddie's been emailing me too. I keep asking him to put his father on. Good for a few laughs anyways Laughing

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 6:08 pm

PM received. Just senthim a quick message from one of my fake lad accounts. I have all sorts of fun planned for him. I have my plate full right now but I'll play with him as time allows.

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 6:21 pm

I'm going to continue with him for a bit longer anyway but as he doesn't seem to know what he's at he can follow my lead for a while, makes a change from doing what they want. Cool

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:17 pm

Explanation of the IP Addresses.

He uses Walla.com which is an Israeli Email provider (in Hebrew), hence the Israel connection.

Virginia probably comes from
