Picked up a surplus lad after my 2 month long baits twiged. He was very insistent, demanding I go to WU or MG so I asked, innocently, where to do that and he sent me to my bank.

My banker, of course, suggested a transfer instead and after a few go arounds my lad sent me a bank account which I forwarded to Alan. Of course, the amount went up a bit as well due to new fees.

The lad is worried that I will come up with a new problem...

I am CONFIDENT you will come up with a new problem!

Nice job getting him to part w/ his account. After a week, try to see if he has one that the bank hasn't flagged because now he's holding up the whole transaction!

And don't forget to add a piggy to your sig line.

There is always going to be a problem, the lads just don't know it...yet. Personally, I like OD's suggestion because that opens up the possibility of getting a second account.

^^^ Yes, I am going to try for a second account. He is a very insistent lad, wanting the money NOW. Of course, the email with the bank addy asked for more money for Tax Stamps. I guess he'll have to explain why I need a stamp since it is a wire transfer; plus I have to stop the original transfer as well.

Then, assuming his bank is info is real, they'll be problems with transfering to it so I'll need a new one, per my banker.

Do you need verification that the account was closed for a siggy piggy?

Nope, you don't need verification. Mostly you won't get an answer from Alan, so you could wait forever. Piggy's work with the honour system. As soon as you have sent the account to Alan, you can add one in your siggy. Congrats, and let it be the first of many!

^^^ Thanks. I've started asking all sorts of questions about stamps, and will ask if he has an account that will accept less than $1000.00

Then it's on to "my bank said the transfer did not work."

Update:

Oh dear - the address for the bank is wrong - the lad mispelt it's street (It appears to be real bank per google, BTW). My poor banker will be sooo confused. The lad also dropped his demand for stamp fees.

Congradulations on the piggy.

Bankers are so focused on details. Your banker buddy has called you that there is something not quite right with the account you gave him.

I am beginning to believe that there is a lad industry renting bank information. The lad needs to prove that a transfer took place and then they are given a percentage of the cash transfer. We have seen lads giving out bank information long after it was dead.

Another way to raise a lads blood pressure is to send a confirming email with transfer details and a copy of the lads bank information email with different bank information. The first time I used this in a dollar chop I got 6 emails in 11 minutes. Gomer sees all, the good ones he invites on a safari.

Ah, the joys. After the lad coughed up the account, he got his just reward - a money transfer slip, from Deuser's on-line MT form generator. I forgot to send the pin, so he immediately shot back with a "I need the PIN, PLEASE SEND" email. along with the fraud warning from the login screen.

Poor lad - doesn't he know that repeated attempts to access the site will cause the fraud warning alarm to sound (ah-u-gah - ah-u-gah); resulting a need for more bank account information, reversal of the transfer, and who knows what else.

He also said that there was a minimum amount that must be transferred; when I balked he let me go back to the original amount; maybe that's why the transfer failed?

Ah, the possibilities. I think I must play this one slowly, reeling him in and then letting him run to prolong the sport.

Yeah, that's the spirit!

Seems the diplomat is to meet me, today, at Jackson Hartsfield Airport (note the wrong name - he has it reversed); her name is Ms. Angel1c Heater. I swear lads get names from captchas.

Anyway, it seems there is a problem: I'm in Europe; the lad never asked my location. He also appears to not have checked on the online wire transfer form after complaining he had no pin. I hope he passed it on and will have an angry boss.

Seems there is a transfer fee I must pay - the lad coughed up a second bank account when I asked where to transfer the money. This seems too easy. I notice didn't give a street address for the second; i think I'll need that. Oh - the amount is over $2000 - seems I'll need to transfer it in separate transactions over several weeks to avoid him filling out anti-terrorist forms; perhaps he has an alternative account?

Nice baiting, brilliant work. Very Happy

I haven't yet gotten even one piggy ... but i keep trying!

Congrats! Nice bait! Razz

Well, my lad asked for a bit over $4K and that is a big problem. It seems that anti-terrorism rules come into play. He doesn't understand the concept that he needs to fill out a form, so I must educate him. Maybe the actual recipient of the transfer needs to fill it out too. I've suggested multiple small transfer or a different bank as possible solutions as well.
If he:

1. Coughs up a new bank account the xfer will go fine
2. Wants the form I'll send him one - of course he'll mess that up I'm sure
3. Balks at the form - this is where I need some advice. Should I:

a)Try the transfer and let him see it fails
b)Send a check via the mail to one of the address he provided (bank or account holder); I may wire a small amount and send the rest via two checks, one to each account holder in care of the bank to avoid the dreaded form
c)Introduce my "assistant" who handles the transfer and messes it all up and then it turns out is really a dollar chopping little vixen?
d)None of the above?

Suggestions welcome.

He's been pretty compliant but insistent. If he twigs I'll share the addy so someone else can have some fun as well.

If you say he's complient, how about faking an email from your bank, informing you of the necessity of the anti-terror forms, and forward it to the lad. You can just write the "email from the bank" below your message, like you copy/pasted it, or make up a banker addy of your own. Maybe the banker can help the lad understand the need for the form, too? Then, maybe you'll get a hat-trick! 3 accounts! It never hurts to try. Smile

^^^As soon as I mentioned check and mail he said NO and said he'd send a new account. If he does, Hat Trick.

I await his instructions (which, of course, will cause more problems). I think the bank will still require the form due to the appearance of a third account.

I've never had one this easy.

^^^UPDATE:

Hat trick - account 3. Now for the terrorism transfer forms...

This is really too easy - I wonder why he keeps coughing up accounts?

He should realize by now that there has been no transfer; but not a word of complaint.
