Months ago I briefly 'baited' a L1ND@ D@v3; a Haiti charity scammer. I got a bank account from 'her' as intended, and gave that info to 'our mysterious friend.'

Anywho, after that I just plainly 'dropped' that person, since I had no intentions of continuing any further. I don't even know how many months now has it been since I dropped this person, and checking my catcher box, apparently 'she' sent out another message to my catcher on May 28th (yesterday)....

Dear ****

Good day. Am Mrs. L1nd@ D@v3 I work with the United Nations and
you promised us some funds about sending money to us about the victim
on the last earth quake in Haiti which we have been waiting to hear
from you please do send us an information on how to pay the money to
us.
The funds are been paid in the India Account which will be sent to
you in order to know when you will be sending the funds to us God
bless.

Mrs. L1nd@ D@v3

I must say I am impressed by this scammer's persistence. I mean after providing an account and having that 'mysteriously disappear', and then no actual money and then no more contact for months, I figured the scammer would have just moved on.

My only other guess is to why I am still being contacted, is perhaps the scammer is not having any luck from any more current 'victims' and wants to try an older 'source', and also maybe could it be the amount I promised? Which I also don't remember either, heehee, ooops. Seriously, I don't remember if I even did give an amount, Very Happy

Is anyone still playing with L1ND@ D@V3?

P.S.

I guess I'll keep ignoring him, and see if I get another message months from now, Very Happy

Hi Happy_slacker.
You've just come across an example of

Quote:

The Old Friend (Palagania tohellicum): Scammer who RSVP's you months after you gave up on the bait.

or

Quote:

The Patience of Job(e) (Patiencia persista): A scammer who waits for ages (up to several months apparently) for his mark to complete some task, or pops up just to make sure you remember he is around. Quite rare to find a scammer with a 'virtue'. With a little pushing they might turn into a 'confessor'.

I've had to get rid of one of these as they wern't generating any trophies by e-mailing him that I was dead. Rolling Eyes

Hrmm, well I am just kinda miffed as to why after so long I am being contacted, even after obviously this scammer has never even collected a single penny from me. It has to be desperation, and I don't want to be seen as over-optimistic, but I really think our efforts are having that much of an impact, that lads MIGHT be forced to try again with 'older' sources. jump_4_joy

@wowwow, I must say that I have already seen your list, and it doesn't cease to amaze me, it just keeps growing and growing! Shocked

Excellent job! clapping

Be sure to keep a .txt file, or better yet put said info into a PDF, with a clickable table of contents that leads you to each genus. Just an idea Wink

Well it seems to me that you should tell her that you had forgotten all about it till you received her email

On checking your records you found that you had paid but for some reason the payment did not go through !

Does she have another account you could try ?

You never know you may just get anothe account (worth a try )

I have sucessfully done that a couple of times !

Well from my very first post , the scammer is already alluding to a possible bank account in India. I am more than willing to let you have at it. I am just too uninterested to play with "L1nda". Even if it is another piggy, those who want a free piggy, its on me! Wink
