I am working a FedEx bait (you know, you have a package with a draft worth $XX million sitting in a FedEx office in Africa). I told him I went to my local FedEx office and they were happy to transfer the initial "Security Keeping charge" ($175) to my lad's office in Benin as an "intra-corporate transaction." I made up a receipt with the details, including the name of the person in Benin who "received" the transfer and the time of receipt.

The lad got frantic and told me that WU money transfer was the "easiest" and proper way to to and I need to get the money back from FedEx and take it to WU. I told him that only the person who received the money at his end could return it -- the lad needs to go to that person (his "colleague") and ask him to send it back.

I hope to get him to "acknowledge" receipt of the $$ and get to the next level, where he will reveal another fee or charge.

My question: how many fees, bribes, taxes, charges, etc. could a lad collect? I realize this is something that is limited only by the lads' imaginations. I read about victims who have been taken for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but is there a "world record" for the number of times somebody has made the trip to WU for a lad? Have any baiters managed to get a lad to "acknowledge" receipt of anything beyond the first fee?

A dolla-chopped Lad of mine said, 'Thanks for the money. I've got it now.'

A while later, guess what, some more money was needed.

The dolla-choppa (yes, that's me as well) stepped in again.

Lad has said, 'Thanks for the money. I've got it now.'

I'm waiting for the next money-need. I guess he doesn't want my character to think that sending WU payments is risky. So he wants to pretend he is receiving them. How long will it last? Dunno. He's a nine-month bait to date, so he must think my character is The Real Thing.

They will try to collect every last cent that you have, and then have you borrow from others to continue. As long as they feel they have a chance to get more cash from you, they will keep on trying. The total amount would presumably be as much as you have.

Thanks. Instead of pretending to have received the $$, this lad decided to turn generous:

Quote:

LISTEN VERY WELL MY DEAR I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL SEND THE MONEY IS WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM SO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO WHERE EVER YOU SEND THE MONEY AND HAVE YOUR MONEY BACK.

BUT I WILL HELP YOU PAY THE SECURITY KEEPING FEE ONCE YOU RECEIVE YOUR PACKAGE YOU WILL PAY ME BACK.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS YOU HAVE TO GO AND LET THEM REFOUND YOUR MONEY BACK TO YOU.

PLEASE PROVID YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS TO US AND WE WILL SHIP OUT YOUR PACKAGE TO YOU.

Of course, he must understand that he will not get another dime from me until I get that refund.
