The character I am using in this bait goes by the last name of B4st. The lad has been using the name N4na Benson.

Benson kept calling me Mr. Blast or Mr. Beast. Not wanting him to be more careful with his spelling, I have let him get away with it. Benson and B4st having been in a war of words. The lad figured a new character would have more luck so he introduced Barrister Victor Okum4. I thought it might be fun to play with the lad's names, too.

I wrote:

Subject: Nenson Banana

Mr. Banana has been talking to me about a gold box that belongs to me but he has become very difficult to work with. He said I should contact you. So can we get this business done without all the trouble Mr. Banana caused?

Attempting to set the record straight, the lad wrote:

His name is not banana, But Benson, yes your box is here actually ,all what you have to send to get the necessary before it can be deliver is $500 USD.,also i send you my IDENTITY to see who your dealing with and send me your international passport and your direct telephone.

I couldn't let the lad off that easy, so I wrote:

Thank you for you prompt reply Mr. Barrier. My name is B4st not Benson. I don't know why Mr. Bandanna had to be so rude. I don't have a passport. My phone number is xxx.

I wonder how long before the lad gets fed up with this? Razz

I love to mess with their names. In each mail I address them with a different one.
So far, they don't seem to care, though. I went from Abongo to Obango to Obama. Cool

N4na Benson begat Nenson Banana begat Nenson Bandanna. If this keeps going I can see this lad become Bender, Blender, Bananza, who knows what all. And then I get to work on Victor Okun4. Smile

You've just invented a new game R Man.

Six degrees of lad separation.

You've got to get your lad from, Barr Whatshisname to Charles Soludo in six emails (or under). Very Happy

If we're going for six degrees, we simply must change it to "Kevin Bacon."
