Well I doubt he really is from Ireland, but here is his tale. Hopefully I can bait him:

[b]Subject: PJM-> Lets Change our lives forever
From: "Devin Keegan" <[email protected]>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, My name is Devin Keegan, I was once Head of Technical support of
the Rabobank in Ireland. I worked there for about 20 years and was let go
3 years ago, due to a automotive accident that left me disabled and would
be a less than optimal to my over all duties as the head of Technical
support. I was then cut-off without justice on my behalf they used their
political and governing influence to suppress all my effort. The only
offer they presented to me, came 8 months later, after global desperation.

Software Contract
After the 8 months in the wake of the global crisis they contracted me to
help update their aging networks and systems. I took the job and in 3
months I was cut-off again with only half of what was promised me. However
this time around I created a software {worm} and put into their system. It
is designed to extract 0.08% Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP)
per month on each of investor's Magallan Capital Funds and also on
Governmental budgeted accounts.

Accounts
It is completely untraceable and when it is finished it will then dump all
the funds in a fixed account connected to an off-shore account in the
Bahamas. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to complete the program on
their system because my services were deemed not needed. I didn’t walk
away empty handed or at least I hope not. All the funds have now ended up
in account under the name Brandon Kennedy who has been dead for a few
years. I need you to, come over here and stand as a benefactor to Mr.
Brandon Kennedy’s Funds and claim the total sum of $21, 344,632.71.

Bank Lawyer
I have the bank lawyer on my side that will get all the compulsory
documentation completed. He has been with me through this whole ordeal
from the beginning, and is a good friend of mine. I also have my
understudy in the bank, and I can edit the records of the transfer. It is
absolutely secure, all we need for you to do is claim the fund as the
benefactor. If it is someone with a Foreign Background like yourself it
will prove be very credible and sincere.

Shares
If it all goes well (which it will) we will allocate the money 60% - $40%
and I will take care of the lawyer and understudy from my 60%. If you have
any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, that’s what I’m here for.

Write back to me soon. The only question remains is; can we change our
lives forever?

Kindest Regards,
Devin Keegan
Ireland

I've never seen this kind before, but I imagine it's been around for a while. Lets see what I can do for him. If anyone else wants a try at Mr. Devin, go for it. If anyone needs the header, I will post it.

Known as salami slicing.

It's a bit like the Richard Pryor character in Superman III. Taking the .0001 rounded down from everyone's pay-packet in a giant corporation.
Probably where this dumbass got his idea from.

See far down the rabbit hole it goes. I'll bet the chap who replies isn't as fluent as his script.

The Salami Slicer (Decimalus tohellicum) Lad who claims to be stealing cash from his employer little by little.

Anyone who wants to join me, come on aboard. Not having much luck lately in hooking a scammer!!

Update!! I actually have this guy now hooked. let's see what we can do with him. He also wants me to contact his lawyer too, says he has sceme planned to perfection. Should be interesting since most of these scams are 100% legals according to lads. So now I will be dealing with a lad with two characters, or two lads. Will update as this progresses.

Allright so far I have my bait and his "bank lawyer" who drafted a Fund release notification. All he needs is my full name and address. Gave him my character name: "Johnathan Hummer Wadd" and an Arizona address which technically exists. No ITP is involved since it's an empty dirt road in the middle of the desert (I checked Google satellite images to confirm this)

So now to wait for my $21, 344,632.71. Has anyone else tried to bait them (him) also??

Allright,

Mr. Ash has sent me documentation to prove he is a legit attorney. He says they would wire the money (haha) though so far they've asked for no money yet. They just want me to fly over to sign paperwork, so I'm trying to think of a pretty wacky reason why I can't fly overseas.
