I've been exchanging emails from a very charming, very persistent, lad recently. So far...
They've asked for a picture of me, and a scan of my passport. Two .jpg junk files sent.
Reply: he couldn't open them, please send again.
Junk files sent once more.
Rinse and repeat.
Until finally: "this isn't working, try a different format, like Adobe or Microsoft."
So, now, junk pdf documents sent.
...
I am now taking bets as to how long it'll be before I get threatened. |

Most lads do give up at some point. One gave upp after my fourth attempt i think. Despite the renamed mp3 file he thanked me for the passport and sent me on my way to the diplomat.
Some however won't budge from the demand and they end up dumping you.
One thing i use to do is to claim that it is illegal in [insert country] to scan a passport. But that is of course to late for you to say to this lad. |

I think too many people get caught up in proving, that they did whatever to their mugu.
You have nothing to prove, there comes a point when they have to prove to you they don’t receive it.
I know that all of us always comply with the mugus orders ASAP. I had a mugu who was really upset about a passport.
Anyway I really wanted to talk to the mugu on the phone. So I figured the best time to call would be when he was sleeping. So I made repeated calls, sadly something happen and the phone could only ring two times. I called back when I knew he was back asleep. After a few times I got a busy signal. After that I sent a strongly worded email wanting to know, why he refuse to answer the phone so we could talk. After all when its 8 PM here its 8 pm everywhere, right?
The good thing was I used a calling card and they don’t charge if you don’t connect.
Later he produced a number of “banks” that kept disappearing.
Let’s face it, the Telecom world is a dangerous place and I love it. |

Get him to send the files back to you.
Slap him because there is nothing wrong with them.
Or...
Slap him with "What's the meaning of this" and send him back two gay porn pics. |

Increasing the file size is a great modality. Start with a three meg MP3 file, go to six and then send a nine. I call my files "Scan", "Rescan" and "New Scanner". I simply forward them so it takes me only seconds and I can use them to send passports, forms and Western Union receipts. Remember to dangle cash to keep your lad firmly hooked. |
