I sent out the routine "Yeah, right. Send me the details" email. Now just this morning I get an email from them and it has what appears to be a VALID MTCN. I didn't use any links on the email from today. I looked up WU through Google and ran the number and the sender's name and it came back "Status : Available for pick up by receiver."
This is supposedly for $5,000. Since when do scammers send money to victims?
I am a n00b here, so someone please explain what is happening. |

Hi Mr. Kruse,
It's a common scam. You can check the MTCN to see there is a payment available for pickup, but you can't see for how much. It's probably for the minimum amount, and you will need to pay fees to get it transferred into your name.
If it's a badger, he's emailing you from Benin. |

I have seen something similar where the lad gives a valid M7CN and when you check it because yyou can't believe your eyes, it appears valid. In the case I had it was already picked up, so I assumed it was one of his own he was using to further his scam modality. I tried to reply to his email but found the addy had been taken out already. I suggest messing with the order of the numbers, playing stupid, telling him the WU guy says the number is bad, and becoming the biggest pain in the u no whut to this lad. You know the drill. Enjoy!
BTW, Thanks for asking for me personally! |

And on the advice of the select members of the forum, I decided to start with this for a responce:
Quote: |
Mr. Collins,
I went to the Western Union office and the clerk there said I did not have a valid number. I told
him that it was not possible. I tried to argue with him, but he threatened to call the police.
I came home and ran the number through the web site and it is indeed an invalid number. So please
tell me what is going on? Is this some kind of joke??
Please find someone else to play your jokes on as I wasted 2 hours of my time going to your office
to learn of your foolishness. You may laugh now. You got me to go to the Western Union office
and I made a fool of myself.

I apologize, I'm still learning. What exactly is a "badger," as opposed to a scammer? I have looked through most of the stickies - I haven't seen a definition and I can't seem to figure it out on my own. Sometimes I'm pretty thick that way. Thanks.
EDIT: Sorry, MoP. After reviewing the thread I saw your description of a badger - my bad. I told you I'm thick sometimes. Thanks for your patience. |

The term is "badger" because that was the username of the earliest identified case. they are rare indeed - mostly the answer to "is this a badger" is no.
This use of "active" MTCNs is an unfortunately clever one by the scammers as it gives them a key piece of evidence to show a victim that indeed there is some money waiting for them. As mentioned before, WU online check does not reveal the amount. Nor the receiver's name - so the lad can send a transfer online to someone else entirely. The victim tries to recover the funds, is unsuccessful, and then the lad reveals that ... oops! ... they need to sort out one minor thing, possibly involving a small fee. |

I had a scammer that sent a MTCN that was a valid number that had already been picked up.
The lad had too many scripts and not enough IQ he had a hard time getting anything right.

Please note, we Badgers on board now are not "Badgers" (are you? Badger Grylls? I am definitely not!).
Pablo, I had the same thing. The guy had apparently lost his email priveledges. I wish i had kept track of the M7CN just to use it for baits, I think it would make for great evidence of a dolla chop, and be using their own stuff against them. I bet you could even turn it on the same lad if you worked it hard! Not sure of the ethics of it, though. Time to review the ethics of baiting thread... |

^^^ Badgerbait,
advice of the mods is not to send the lads something they can reuse on other potential vics, such as a working MTCN.
Additionally, Mr. Kruse, you might want to send the MTCN information to the mods so they can take care of it.
(see my post to hint&tips here for details and mod response.
Thanks! |

I'm going to be doing that. I am currently working with my mentor on this and we will be involving the mods/admin as far as giving them the #'s. |
