The lads bread and butter is thinking up as many different types of advanced fees as possible to try and get as much as they can from their victims but this is an unusal one. From a recovery scam.

I'm gonna try this on my husband. I've been convinced he's dead for a decade. I'm gonna tell him he has to give me some money to prove he's alive. Wink

Dear Madam,

Thank you for your concern I can confirm everything is n0w indeed in the other.

I fully understand your need to check whether or n0t I am really living you wouldn't want to be wasting your time with somebody who had passed away. Such a stringent check 0n my state of being gives me faith that I am dealing with a legitimate banking body after suffering so much fraud at the hands of fraud stars. Any bank w0rth their salt would charge a client to confirm that they were indeed alive.

Since being defrauded by fraud stars I have become financially dependent 0n my friend but I will instruct them to make this payment to you as so0n as possible .

Thanks so much for taking my case on b0ard and I will write back to you ASAP with the payment details.

Regards

Mr. xxxxxxxx

You forgot to add "ok" to the end of every one of your sentences. I wonder where he picked that up from?

^^^Re the "ok" at the end of each sentence - that's standard lad speak. You see it quite a bit when they get lazy and stop trying to sound like they're actual "professionals", or Americans or Brits or whatever.

The Lad "ok" reads like some form of full stop - on a couple of baits the rate of "ok" was so prevalent that I kept count; one used it more thsn 50 times, including seven in one message.
