Part of a bait I've been running has involved getting the lad to believe that I'm a lad in the UK capable of faking cheques. (He has a brother in Italy who collects the WU etc who's about to have a very busy week Wink

)
On Thursday he sent me details of a victim who I understood (from our conversation) to be a 'fresh' vic captured from a reply to a 'car-for-sale' ad.

However he then sent me this: (bold is my emphasis)

Joseph,

thank you so much for your respond, the client is a very good client, he have been paying me with his money b4 but now he is broke and i introduce him to Financial Firm to borrow money, you are sending the check to him as Financial Company name S&S F1nancial F1rm, and my name is Barri$ter R1chard D@vid, yours from S&S is $ean Per$ely J1mmy, just send a good paper to him, i assure you once the paper clear we make good money, give him 10k$

This victim is skint and yet the lads are still prepared to screw him even further.

My bait is still ongoing, but if anyone wants to have a go at this lad, I will happily give you his catcher email and letter, although as I haven't used the catcher address since August, it may not be viable.

All the relevant details about the victim have been passed to Scamwarners to deal with.

I would love to send him my standard ASEM. Either post (and leet?) or PM me his email.

i expect that they think the victim will borrow the money for friends or relatives.
they really don't care, do they.

This one is even worse than pushing the victim to borrow the money. The victim is totally broke, so the ruse now is to get him to take out a "loan" through a "financier." The problem is that the loan is in the form of a fake check.... The victim deposits it, it "clears," and he makes the required payment to the lad. Then the check bounces and he's on the hook for the full $10K. He's already broke, now the lads are pushing him into bankruptcy, or worse, jail. The victim is the one who will be on the hook when the fraudulent check is discovered. When he can't pay the bank back, guess who they're going to go after? Evil or Very Mad

ah, thanks for clarifying that.
'paper' is a lad word for cheque - it makes more sense now.

@llamedos: Does this mean you're going to be put in contact with a confirmed paying (and now broke) victim?
Or did I just make the n00b mistake of thinking the lad is telling the truth...

^^^^^^
I was given the victims details address etc by the lad on Thursday**- as I didn't have the lads 'work' names he was using, I asked him for a little more detail - the posted email was the result....

[History lesson]
**I'm a former mod on this site, so I know what to do Wink

[/History lesson]

@r2d2 - 'paper' is the lads term for a fake cheque - it's amazing what slang you pick up when yu dey be a guyman with good paper Smile

I only may save potential vics, by taking the place of one, not actual vics.
Do you 'deal' (confront, convince, counsel, ..) with him yourself, or do you hand them over to those specialized in that?

Even a 'potential' vic saved is one less potential payday for the scammers.
This is why IMO baiting can be so effective.

I'll phone this guy myself to give him a heads-up - if he needs more help than I can offer in a phone call, there are plenty of wonderful people in Scamwarners who can assist Very Happy
