If you bait him (safely of course), don't tell the lad about the mistake. We don't tell lads how to improve their scams.

I got an email off a time travelling lad

Quote:

So I told him to cash the $1.5million USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till ending of December 2008.

This is just insulting at least update your scam mail!

^^ And round up all of the Kangaroos that are roaming freely around our city streets Wink

dont laugh but i had a kangaroo hopping alongside my car the other nite. i slowed down for a speed hump in my street and there it was

I had them hoping around my street in suburbia about a year ago and on the weekend I went for a drive and saw a few, I let the kids out to go and have a look and they (the Kangaroos of course) were only too happy for the kids to talk to them so long as they kept a metre away, I once even had some kangaroos in my house and my parents have them hoping around their backyard all the time.

All completely true Wink

I may even be able to prove some of that Cool

Fixed small gramatical error, dont want anybody think we Aussies dont get educated with all of these roos hopping around Wink

There are so many dumb mistakes in this one but as previous correspondent states don't educate the lad. However a few indicators are:-

1. Why is a Reverend involved with the Aussie Lottery?
2. Why has he got a Nigerian phone?
3. What kind of lottery uses numbers as high as 657 (Winning number given as 275-189-657-23-05) as a draw number?
4. As you say 30th February.

If baited, ask him what the good Reverend makes of Aussie Beer, dingoes etc. and don't forget to mail him on 31st Feb for good measure.

Good one Pete, I forgot about the importance of using another fake date in reply to your lad's fake date. Actually, with each email you could increase the date by one day. You know how some of these baits can go on for months and even years, I wonder what the lad would think if he saw the 562th of February?

I had a lad once who didn't know what a quarter was. Whatever the deal was it had to be concluded before the end of the quarter. I think we got up to the seventh month of the quarter before he stopped counting.
