I've had so many scams in my mail lately i wanted to do something with them! shame i deleted most of them, the one im doing was the only one i had left!

They seem pretty stupid though, my address has been 123 Fake Street, Madeup Avenue...

Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:42 am

I just got a new reply...

disappointing, it was the same message they sent me the last time.

Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:57 am

Love 123 Fake St Very Happy

I actually had a lad pull me up on 10 Downing St London...

Quote:

The phone number and address you gave does not exist. It is either that you are fake or you are hiding something. The address 10 Downing street belongs to Prime Minister of Britain. How about that?

Yet still managed to salvage it, maybe ill tell him my real address is 122 Fake St

@Knackers Patience on answering the lads was the toughest on me at first; now I have gotten quite "lazy" about it and they wait a day or 2 -- or more probably because I hate "whining" and they so do whine! Laughing

Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:06 am

You could try just sending an email to the bank and say you dont understand what to do next, try and get them off script

Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:11 am

i went with:

Quote:

Dear Mr. Barr,

As always thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunately i am a little perplexed by this email. on ringing this number provided i was greeted by a Chinese man asking me "what i wanted to order?" to which i replied "A new Bank account please", at which point he got very angry and started saying something about "fried rice" and "Peking Duck".

Can you please confirm that these are the correct numbers.

Regards,
Eric Mangini

Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:15 am

Haha! He is gunna be pissed when you tell him he gave the wrong numbers for the fifth time! Very Happy

Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:49 am

A couple of updates:

This is from "Mr. Barr":

Quote:

Dear Eric Mangini,

Thank your for your urgent reply. I have verified the bank details again carefully. The bank details I have giving to you is the correct details of the bank as it was giving by them. I am not too bewildered about what you said because I just tried calling the bank and it went through. I would want you to try call them with the correct number I have furnished you with.

Thanks for your understanding.
Yours Sincerely,
Barr. Simon George

My Reply:

Quote:

Dear Mr. Barr,

Here are the numbers that I have been trying:

Tel: +44-702-405-3590
Tel: +44-704-574-0967

I have tried these numbers numerous times and have come up with the same thing:
Tel: +44-702-405-3590: A Chicken farm
Tel: +44-704-574-0967: Some sort of Gay Night Club

Now being a very professional business man, I don't find either of these things funny and the second number i find very offensive as i feel you are making a mockery of me, which I sincerely hope you are not.

I am trying to sort all of this out as I realise the time restraints on the deal to go through

Best Regards,
Eric Mangini

Not sure where to go with it now:

Quote:

Dear Eric,
I have received your mail. What do you actually mean? As a barrister and the claims agent of the STMicroelectronics Company, it is my duty to guide you through the claiming process. As I have stipulated, I have come to a conclusion that you are the one who is skeptical about you being selected in the draw and this is the reason you a saying the fatuous and very unprecedented accuses on the bank details furnished to you. I have been the claims agent of the STMicroelectronics Company for years and have not failed. Only last year, a winner lost her winnings just because she doubted that she don’t know how she became a winner. The second place winner of last year also lost his winning just because he didn’t keep is prize winning confidentially to him. You see, over the years, we have discovered numerously numbers of prize claim impersonal trying to claim winning prizes. During the effort to stop this trend, we discovered that the impersonators are usually a close friend or relative of the intent winner. On this note, the entire staff and board of directors came to a conclusion that any prize claim impersonator discovered again, will lead to the cancelling of that particular winnings.
I have said those things because I wanted to highlight you on the past winners. Seriously, you are insulting my personality. What do you mean by a “gay night club?” I don’t have to say much. I would want you to proceed with the instruction that I have giving you for claiming.
Thank you.
Regards,
Barr Simon George

Dear Mr Barr,

I was in no way trying to insult your personality. With the sort of money that is on offer you can understand that i am a little anxious to get at the money. A "gay club" is place, in this instance a club, where fellas such as yourself go to meet other men and "enjoy" their company usually accompanied with pounding pounding techno music.

With that sorted out and explained lets get back to the business of my winnings. Could you please explain what i am supposed to do at the bank to receive this money.

I will be passing through London on my way to Geneva on Thursday evening/Friday morning and would be willing to collect a brief case full of money if that would be more agreeable?

Kindest regards,
Eric
