There's been some discussion on the question of whether or not Lads read your replies and IMO the answer would have to be that most do, but not always carefully.

There's one I don't think read my answer... some background first; what seemed to be a romance scam hit my catcher, so I answered with my Brad M0rr1han and Mal Reyn01ds personae.

Hello
dear new friend,
how are you today i hope that every things is ok with you as is my pleassure to contact you after seeing your email address at google email search which really interest me in having communication with you if you will have the desire with me so that we can get to know each other better and see what happened in future.i will be very happy if you can write me through my email for easiest communication and to know all about each other

What came back from my casual responses was this:

Quote:

Hello my new friend,
How are you today?
How was your night hope fine..Mine, well i thank God for keeping me till this moment here in dakar senegal. My name is N4ncy Ud3h 25 single from lvory Coast in west africa and presently i am residing in the refugee camp here in dakar as a result of the civil war going on in my country. My late father Dr S0l0m0n ud3h was the personal advicer to the former head of state (Late Dr R0bert Gu31) before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed my mother and my father with the only brother i have. It was only me that is alive now and i managed to make my way to a near by country Senegal where we are leaving now.I would like to know more about you. Your likes and dislikes,your hobbies and what you are doing presently.I will tell you more about myself in my next mail.

Brad wasn't impressed (the bad spelling is intentional):

Quote:

Hey what is this, I thuoght yuo wanted a penfreind, and yuo give me this movei of the week bollocks, I dont like bieng bullshitted to.

This is what comes back (emphasis added):

Quote:

Thanks for your mail.I am more than happy in your reply to my mail.
How are you today together with your health which is the most important thing to me. and your day hope fine?Mine is a little bit hot over here in Dakar Senegal.In this camp we are only allowed to go out only on Mondays and Fridays of the weeks.Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon.We don't have any relatives now whom we can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person we have now is Rev.Emmanuel James who is the pastor of the (Christ for all Churches) here in the camp he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am not living with him rather i am leaving in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.The Pastors Tel number is ( +221-773-09-90-16 ) if you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel. As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilege to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.please listen to this,i have my late father's statement of account and certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in Europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $9.7M(Nine Million seven Hundred Thousand Dollars).So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you.I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Revrend because he is like a father to me.So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it. Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i deposed on you.I like honest and understanding people,truthful and a man of vision,truth and hardworking.My favorite language is English but our language is french but i speak English very fluently.Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said i have alot to tell you.

I guess Mal will get the same response to his rather more understanding (!) message. In the meantime, Brad will continue to be scornful and sarcastic...

Edited to clear up some problems with quotes.

oh ! ...it's a woman.

Have you got any idea what her full name is from her e-mail address?

I'll give her a ring and see if I can speak to a Ladette .... if that's ok with you ?

+221-773-09-90-16 that's Senegal and it's a live number

Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2008 12:46 pm

Her full name is .

Brad just sent this:

Quote:

Oh plaese, thats just too wired, now yuove got milloins stashed away, geeze whats next, yuo do know that April Fools not for a few months yet dont yuo, I do like French thuogh, do yuo give haed jobs?

If you can do a drunken Aussie, then by all means call, wish her a Merry Christmas, and say Brad gave you her number and wants to know if she does oral (use any slang you like).

Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2008 2:26 pm

The Pastor is the lad, so you will always talk to a guy as she happens to be away when you phone. Wink

All they want to know is if you're real and are willing to make the cost to phone so you're willing to invest in "her" and her "money"
Phone call will make "her" a lot sweeter Laughing

She might even sent a nice picture, if you can call that nice :yikes:

Ivory Coast/Senegal lads seem to love this format and are wedded to their scripts but if you can get them off script they can be absolute treasures. All my successful (>2 months) animal baits have been these lads.

Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2008 3:35 pm

I spoke to the Paster ...seemed a nice chap Smile

but I'm having troubles in uploading the MP3 at the moment.

Edit ..... 1st call uploaded http://media.putfile.com/nanceys-paster-34

Well I just got off the phone to "Nancy" ...although didn't feel comfortable talking to her as it sounded like she had been dragged in of the streets to talk to me following the first call, so I concentrated on the Paster and got him to sing Christmas songs for me Very Happy

(I think I called myself Greg and not Brad ...not that he noticed !)

...this is just for you Yastreb Cool

Thanx muchly Spot!

All I have to do now is persuade my sister to let me access the sound files on her computer - mine is not working too well (crummy hard drive).

BTW - if you called yourself Greg and not Brad - that's OK; if you recall, you were supposed to be a friend of Brad's (not Brad) to start with...

Pity I missed this, in a few hours I will BE a drunken aussie! Laughing

happy xmas/hannukah/flying spaghetti monster everyone

Posted: Thu Dec 25, 2008 5:08 pm

Some don't. I tried to cheer up a batch of lads with emails based on http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=154312&highlight=cranberrie
Some responded with replies such as

Quote:

Thank you for your email and may the good will of this special season of the christian faith abide with you.I received your email response.Thank you for the kind words.I am very impressed with your efforts and vision in serving the lord.
I have given you my life, destiny, career and everything, believing and trusting that you will never work against me.When sending e-mail, ensure to reference this coded wording: THE GOD OF ELIJAH so that I could identify you or if you are calling on phone, you MUST mention the code as well. The secret of this transaction is now in your hands as long as you are the only one aware off it.
My late client,Mr.Andreas Liveras was a man everybody would like to emulate.We looked up to them as our spiritual father.He made us understand the simplicity of life and the benefits of life in christ.These was a man you would have personally loved to meet.It is very unfortunate that they lost their life in the Mumbai Attack.If only he had listened to my advice.God knows best and His authority cannot be questioned.May his souls rest in perfect peace.Amen!!!.All I owe him is to help accomplish his wish and that is what we are led by divine prophecy for you to assist us with.He was so dear to me that I cannot afford to dissappoint them not even in death.
Could you please call me on my unlisted handy:0044-2070602147,I think and prefer it better if we have a verbal discuss on the way forward.Moreso,confirm if this email is secured enough to communicate with you.Please know that I am trusting you with all this.

"She" is still writing to Brad!

Quote:

How are you today.
I believe that you are doing well. As for me i am fine here with all hopes to meet with you immediately after the transfer of my money to your position for a better life.God will bless and reward you for every effort you are about to make to see me out from this horrible prison called refugee camp where i am living today as a result of the untimely of my parents(may their gentle souls rest in peace).
I will be waiting for your call today by 4;pm my time at the church office located in the refugee camp where i am living at moment with this number
(+22l-773-O9-9O-l6) I thank God for the life of Rev 3mmanue1 Jam3s the pastor of the church located in the camp where i recieve and send emails to you. He is like a father to us here as his church assists united nations here in Senegal in taking care of refugees.

There's a whole lot of bank data after that (but nothing for Alan).

Mal just replied to the previous email so he's out of sync with Brad.

Brad will sent rude messages to the bank (he's so cynical) whereas Mal is oh-so-serious.

Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2008 12:27 pm

Update; I defy the Lad to stay on script after this message from Brad to Sir Frederick G00dwin at the Bank of Scotland...

Hmm.
I told one lad yesterday thatrI was a Madoff victim and down to my last one or two million USD.
He's still harping on about being a devout Christain (sic) though

Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2008 2:29 pm

I guess the lads don't realise that Fred "the shred" Goodwin fell on his sword after the Royal Bank of Scotland had to be bailed out by the UK Government and that you should really be writing to Steven "doesn't have a nickname yet" Hester Smile

Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2008 4:04 pm

Spot, that was funny, what part of Australia are you from then mate? New South Lancashire?

@internationalchrysis you missed out Yule!.. us Godless heathens have to celibrate something too. Wink

Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2008 9:29 pm

She seems to have dumped Brad (can't think why Smile

) and is still writing to Mal, who told her:

Quote:

I'm not sure if I can call you. I'm on base at the moment, and things are tight here because of security fears over President Obama's inauguration. All calls have to go through the PABX, and everyone is only allowed to make calls to people they've listed and lodged with the Security people. Any incoming calls are screened and would likely be cut off if not from registered numbers. I'm sorry, but we live in interesting times, as the Chinese say.

But since she doesn't pay attention:

Quote:

I will be waiting for your call today by 4;pm my time at the church office located in the refugee camp where i am living at moment with this number ()... When you call tell him that you want to speak with me so that he will send for me from the females hostel to talk with you about what i am going through here....Attentioned Sir Fred A G00dwin the foreign transfer officer of the bank telling him that you are my representative and that you want to assist me transfer my 9.7 million dollars deposited by late father of which i am the next of king afterwhich you call me on phone today...

I have to tell her again:

Quote:

I told you that I'm unable to call you as you're not on my approved contact list. Please pay attention - I know you're in a bad situation, but I have to be sure that you understand me clearly.

And "she" wrote that:

Quote:

My favorite language is English but our language is french but i speak English very fluently.

Fluently, my aching backside...

ETA: masking/leeting

Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2008 9:31 pm

Late thought - if anyone should ring , take the piss out of the Reverend, and tell him Brad sent you.

Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 10:34 am

I was wrong about Brad's bait! I got the bank's reply to Brad's less-than-polite message:

Quote:

Spot, do you want to give Fred G00dw1n - I mean, Fred G00dwank - another call and tell him you want the money now, none of this bank paperwork crap, it's all done electronically?

Meanwhile she wrote to Mal after he'd reminded her that he couldn't make or receive calls - and by thunder, I think we may be off script!

Quote:
