Unbelievable! I'm testing out a new modality in which I send out ASEMs with the full details of an already made (waiting to be picked up) WU transfer where the MTCN is accessible via a link and after a small "game". So far I've had some pretty angry responses ( Twisted Evil

) and many lazy lads just asking me to send it directly ( Rolling Eyes

), but I was very surprised when I got this:

HELLO DEAR,
I GOT YOUR EMAIL REFERING ME TO THE MONEY YOU SENT THROUGH WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER, JUST TO RECALL YOU BACK INCASE YOUR MISTAKING. MY NAME IS NOT MICHAEL AND I HAVE NOT DISCUSE OF ANY MONEY TRANSFER FROM [baiting name] AS YOUR NAME IS CALLED. IF YOU HAVE MISTAKE MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITH ANOTHER BY SENDING MONEY TO MICHAEL PLEASE TRY AND RACTIFY IT,
AM NOT EXPECTING ANY MONEY FROM ABROAD THROUGH WESTERN UNION TRANSFER.

I WISH YOU DO IT SOON AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID COMPLICATION, MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU GO ON IN YOUR BUSINESS WITH FEAR OF GOD ALLMIGHTY FOR HE IS THE OWNER OF OUR LIFE AND PROPERTY.

THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER,THE RIGHTEOUS RUN INTO IT AND HE IS SAVE, I BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES YOU THAT'S WHY YOUR MISTAKE COMES TO ME FOR YOUR CORRECTION, JESUS DIED FOR OUR SIN IN JOHN 3:16, HE GAVE US JUST LITTLE ASSIGNMENT,JUST TO BELIEVE IN HIM AND WE SHALL HAVE OUR HEART DESIRE ON EARTH AND ALLSO MAKE HEAVEN AT LAST.

REMAIN BLESSED IN JESUS NAME.

I'm certain that he hasn't even tried to follow the link, because if he had, he'd be singing a very different tune. He'd also have figured out I was a baiter.

I also know for a fact he is a scammer since a very brief period of research unearthed this.

What the hell is he trying to pull? Confused

Blimey.

Maybe thank him for doing the decent thing and then email him as the G in your fake bait, see if he wants to work together?

Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 9:04 pm

^^ That's a pretty good idea. I had already sent a thank you e-mail (out of morbid curiosity more than anything else), but I'll go ahead and write to him from "Michael's" account as well.

If nothing else, it'll make for a more interesting lad exchange Wink

Maybe something happened that scared him off from scamming for awhile.

"Honest Lad" is an oxymoron, IMO.

Or maybe he just didn't want to steal a victim from another scammer because he was afraid it would get him killed.

Or he is just trying to win your trust so he can be in a better position to really scam you.

Forrest: They won't be able to track each other down. That's not a possibility in this case.

Dorothy: That was the first thing that crossed my mind, but I just don't buy it. He could have just as easily collected the money I sent to "Michael", I wouldn't have suspected him since he said he's not my lad, and then still try to scam me again. I really don't see a lad giving up that much money just to gain trust. Furthermore, after I wrote to him to thank him and wish him luck in his future, I have gotten no response.

The best I can figure is that he believes it "immoral" to steal from another guyman, which I suppose is still a step up from our typical garden-variety lads. Is morality spreading amongst 419 scammers? Confused

Probably as likely as the world ending in 2012...

Maybe he had a near death experience from another lad he stole from and doesn't wish to repeat it... Laughing

Have you heard back from him since you sent the thank you letter?

Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2009 6:07 pm

^^ No. I've not heard a word since I sent my thank you letter. I made said letter have a sort of "thank you and goodbye" tone to it to ensure that he'd only write back if he was actually interested in me. As I said, no response since then. I've yet to execute MBL's plan, but I'll be sure to do that and post the results.

Like the last one, I know he's a scammer on account of this.

If another lad turns down money, I think I'm going to start believing in that Nibiru shit. Shocked

Is it possible that these lads have previously been put through the wringer by baiters using ASEMs, and they're just not going to play that game anymore?

Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2009 2:51 pm

^^ It's possible. I don't understand, though, why he never even tried to follow the link to the MTCN.

Nick, Has ANYONE played your game? (I'm curious, it's a cool modality)

Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 1:18 am

^^ A few have, actually. I know because, after some coaxing to try it out and a promised attempt from the lad, I've gotten fun responses such as...

ARE U DEAF? I SAID U SHOUD EAT SHIT WITH UR MOUT MKPI

I've been slowly improving the technical aspect of the modality. It is, you could say, in the alpha stage at the moment. It looks unprofessional as hell and there are countless external references and non-sensical elements. But I've been working on it for the past few days and it should be ready to go into beta tomorrow (or maybe even tonight).

As for it being a cool modality, if you're a hard bastard on the outside but immature at heart like me, then you'll probably be giddy with excitement every time you use this. If, however, you have an IQ higher than 80 and are not a complete philistine, you'll see it for the childish nonsense that it is. Personally, I'm just happy the lads are pissed.

Accidentally Sent E-Mails.

Actually they aren't accidentally sent. They are deliberately sent but made to look as though they were sent to that particular lad by accident. It's one way of flushing out the scammer when his first scripts are inconclusive. An ASEM of a question concerning how much money you should send and who to send it to is likely to get a response of a dollar amount and a name and address. That's what's so puzzling about Nick's lad. He's not responding as expected.
