I can't help but notice how greedy these lads are. Not only do they feel entitled to $1000 to send a form or something, but they even want the majority of imaginary funds.
How many times have you received an email with this formula or one much like it:

Quote:

SIXTY FIVE PERCENT (65%) of the total fund will be for me. THIRTY PERCENT (30%) for you for all your efforts. five PERCENT (5%) will be for unexpected expenses, which may occur during the process, thereafter you will help me to visit your country for sharing the money according to the percentage indicated above.

If you ever try to renegotiate (which I invariably do) they suddenly get offended and start whining about how you are trying to rip them off. Do they just lie about these 12 million dollar inheritances so much that they start to believe in them?

The weirdest bit of Lad greed occurred when a Lad told Captain Mal of a $7.1 million bequest from a mystery benefactor. Then this:

Quote:

We are proposing a sharing formular of 15% for you for standing as the beneficiary, 75% for me and my partners as originators of the deal and the remaining 10% will have to be set aside to settle every expenses that will be incured by either party in the process of securing the fund.

So I slapped him down for that:

Quote:

According to you I AM the beneficiary! Exactly what makes you think that you're entitled to any of it at all?

This was his explanation:

Quote:

We are proposing a sharing formular of 15% for you because you did not know that you where made the beneficiary to the deceased and 75% for me and my partners as originators of the deal while the remaining 10% , will be set for incure expences, haven said that, i will adivce that you send your pesonal info, to enable me file for the will of testament t the probate registry.
I presume that you understand the above explanations and look forard to hear from you soon.

Not accepted:

Quote:

I'd be happy to pay that 10% figure to you as a fee for tracking me down, but 75% for you and your partners, whoever they are, is simply absurd.
I suggest that you take that under advisement.
I'll send you my details once you've fallen into line.

Is he kidding?

Quote:

i have agree to the 50 % each for both that you wish.please i will want you get back to me , so that we can move forward with this business.

I'm not:

Quote:

You may agree on a 50/50 share – but I don't!
As I said before - as far as I'm concerned, you aren't entitled to any of it. I'm willing to give you 10% for bringing the will to my attention but that is all.

Progress, of a sort:

Quote:

Please i understand that the will is yours, but i want to beg of you to make my own share of it 15%, because i am going spend money at the probate registry, to get the will of testament in you name as the next of kin to the decease.Please, do get back to me so that we can move forward.

But not enough:

Quote:

Your share will be 10%, and I'm being generous. No further discussion. I do not believe that any charges anywhere could add up to $300,000 – which is what you're asking for.

After that he fell into line.

I can only assume he mixed up his formats.

I've looked at a few other threads that have the baiters negotiating with the lads.
A lot of these lads put up a hell of a fight to keep as much of their non-existent money as possible.

It makes you wonder if they do it simply because they want to make it sound genuine, or if they have just been telling this lie so long that they have actually begun to believe it themselves..
