Hi gang,

It appears that the bank did not like me asking for an account number to transfer funds to. Up here in the wilds of northern Ontario we would not deliver a "smack" for this tone, we'd do a full-on cross check with a carbon stick. Short of going off on the guy, I'm looking for a pleasant response to get him wound up in a very professional manner..

He has no right to talk to you like that. You deserve dignity and respect.

Ask him what a fraud notification letter looks like, because you would hate to be caught out and send the money to a fraudstar instead of the proper recipient. Laughing

This is a perfect example of what we use to call "lad's logic" Laughing

So, I sent an email to the barrister, and complained loudly about the unprofessional, inconsiderate treatment by the "bank", which, I might add, sends out email that is so poorly crafted that I really doubt it's authenticity.
I got a lovely reply, including what appears to be banking details. Wouldn't it just make my day if they were REAL?

Ok, eaters, help me out here. What do I do with these details?

Oh ya.....the "bank" got a nice cross check with a carbon fibre stick. They are again playing nice.....

You do realize that the banker and the barrister are one in the same? Laughing

Forward the bank details along with the relevant scam letters to [email protected] then you can get a Closed lad accounts

to put in your sig line.

After you forward the details, tell the lad that you tried to wire the money into his account but your bank said that it was frozen and he'll need to give you a good bank account before you can send the money. Get the new account info and forward to alan with details, rinse and repeat. Very Happy

Geee. I never considered that the Barrister might actually own the bank. Rolling Eyes

Nothing quite like playing both sides against himself. heh..heh..

I do like the "rinse and repeat" approach.

I just love the way the "OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR EXCHANGE CONTROL AND INTERNATIONAL REMITTANCE" of the "GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC", a public limited company, conducts its business with a Yahoo account! LOL

Complain to the barrister about the bank, complain to the lad about the barrister, etc. Thay're all the same lad jumping between mailboxes, so you have to get his characters slagging each other off in order to keep you, the victim happy. It's a small win, but it's a bit of fun to see whichever is the most 'honest' of your lads characters talking about all the scammers out there, and what a bunch of sad low-life shits they are, etc. It gives the lad a lesson in self-inflicted humility, although with lad logic he can reconcile being a low-life shit with his daily Christian life, no doubt.
