I have a stubborn lad who does not want to pick up a package being held for him by parc3l d1rect...and is questioning whether he can trust me. He ends his email:

Quote:

If by the end of today i did not hear anything serious then i will forget about both you and the package.So,if what we shared means anything to you clear my doubts.

Guy man........................... na we we

I'm not sure that last part is supposed to be there. Very Happy

He's trying to see if you are another lad. He has suspicions.

I'd act dumb and confused, (not much effort needed) and ask him what all that guy man wa wa stuff is about...

Yeah I would play dumb. Ask him what he meant with that and then sign off as "girl woman" or something.

Alternatively you could grab the chance to play another guyman here and turn your bait into completely different direction. Not sure how that would fit your plans, but it's always a funny modality when it works.

I sent him another reply from the agent, trying to prod him along a bit.

If you do not wish to play a lad going further I would ignore his guyman remark. I would think any way of bringing it up would continue his thoughts that you are merely playing with him.

I don't see how to play this as another lad...since I've talked to him on the phone.

Here's what I sent back. These lads are so lazy...a couple 100 miles for a laptop computer and $6000 and they get all suspicious!!!!

Quote:

I don't understand...what kind of trick? Yes, I messed up when I sent the package by not declaring that there was money was well as a
computer. I have hidden $20 in gifts to my nieces and nephews without
problem...but obviously I did not take into account the different
regulations in Nigeria.
You have my phone number...you've called me before well, left a message on my K& #...but that's almost the same thing and we've talked.
I don't understand why now you think I am hiding something. J4ck..it
seems like YOU are the one hiding something. Do you forget that I
came to England to be with you and you left the country?
And what is this supposed to mean? "Guy man...........................
na we we "
I don't understand any of this J4ck...I hope you are talking this way
to me only because you are stressed and worried about your father.

Hopefully I asked about "guyman" in a way that soothed suspicions and didn't raise them. Maybe another phone call is needed...but I think it will have to be very late in Nigeria. Twisted Evil

Poor lads. They just have too many scams going on at the same time and get a little muddled.

Go slow with the bait. He will stay hooked. Don't answer quickly or he will think you are another lad.
