A couple of months back saw this Lad enter Mal's Area of Operations: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197960. He still tries to yahoo-chat sometimes.

Well, just a fortnight ago came a new Lad with the same script, now begging for "$100 dalla" for his hotel bills after I pointed out that I'd been getting the same messages from someone else. Then:

Quote:

Mal (9:28 PM): I'm going to send $200 to you and Peace 4kpbobor, but you each only get half of the tracking code. You have to work together to get the money.
MJ78 (9:28 PM): u will receive by diplomat nor wester union

Mal (9:48 PM): Ah, no. You have to find each other. Shouldn't be too hard.
MJ78 (9:49 PM): but u said his in the same hotel with me
Mal (9:49 PM): Exactly. Easy as.
MJ78 (9:50 PM): i will just call him on fon.
Mal (9:50 PM): Like I said - easy.
MJ78 (9:50 PM): ok
MJ78 (9:51 PM): then tried for my side for me today.
MJ78 (9:52 PM): sir then try send my part for to setle my bills ok plz sir.

Mal (10:07 PM): Good question.
MJ78 (10:07 PM): but i still dont no him

Mal (10:08 PM): Ah, now that wouldn't be fair!
MJ78 (10:08 PM): ok
MJ78 (10:09 PM): but do u remember the receivers name????????
Mal (10:10 PM): John M3nsah or Peace 4kpobor... hmm, the agony of choice...
MJ78 (10:10 PM): ok
MJ78 (10:11 PM): give me his number
Mal (10:12 PM): You have to find him. You're in the same hotel. Go for it!
MJ78 (10:12 PM): ok
MJ78 (10:12 PM): so if u snd it then u shere then refrence for us
Mal (10:13 PM): What?
MJ78 (10:13 PM): how could i get him
Mal (10:13 PM): Use your brains.
Mal (10:13 PM): Anyhoo - gotta go. I'll be in touch.
MJ78 (10:13 PM): for the refrence number

Tomorrow each Lad will receive a message that $100 is there in his name, with half the MTCN for his and the other Lad's delivery, with the other half with the other Lad. However, even if they find each other, it's the same set of numbers...

This just sent to Peace 4Kpobor:

Your first 5 digits are ***** and the Q&A is Halls of? Montezuma.
John M3nsah's first 5 digits are ***** and the Q&A is Shores of? Tripoli.
You'd better find him.

This went to John M3nsah:

Your second 5 digits are 82033 and the Q&A is Shores of? Tripoli.
Peace 4kpobor's second 5 digits are 44612 and the Q&A is Halls of? Montezuma.

I may have forced a Lad Meet a lot earlier than I'd expected/hoped. Details to follow as things develop.

Meanwhile, the other Lad was going on much longer:

Ma1co1m Reyno1ds

Mal (9:24 PM): Yeah, that's what I sent you.
Lad 2 (9:24 PM): is the same as Apobor
Mal (9:25 PM): No it isn't.
Lad 2 (9:25 PM): check your sent message
Mal (9:25 PM): What's your game here? Are you taking the piss?
Lad 2 (9:26 PM): you send the same message to us
Lad 2 (9:26 PM): if you know that you did not sent the monmey better let us know
Mal (9:26 PM): Where the hell is Akpobor then? Why doesn't he speak for hinself?

Lad 2 (9:27 PM): is this the sender's name: Mal reynolds
Mal (9:28 PM): That is my name, yes.
Lad 2 (9:28 PM): but there is no mtcn
Lad 2 (9:28 PM): you did not send any money
Lad 2 (9:28 PM): we have track it
Lad 2 (9:29 PM): just only 100 dollar
Mal (9:30 PM): That's a cell number. You're supposed to be in a hotel!
Lad 2 (9:30 PM): i dont understand
Lad 2 (9:31 PM): <ding>
Mal (9:31 PM): Answer your phone!
Lad 2 (9:31 PM): my phone is not ringing
Mal (9:32 PM): The hell it isn't! 2332240062109
Mal (9:32 PM): That's the number you gave me.
Lad 2 (9:33 PM): +233 2A0 062 109
Lad 2 (9:33 PM): call me now
Mal (9:34 PM): You moron. You can't give numbers, can you?
Lad 2 (9:38 PM): give us the control number on chat here
Lad 2 (9:39 PM): we are together here now
Mal (9:39 PM): Right. That's good to hear.
Lad 2 (9:40 PM): give us the complete mtcn by chat here
Mal (9:40 PM): Now, Mr M3nsah, I believe that you called Peace 4kpobor a cafe scammer.
Lad 2 (9:41 PM): that was before
Mal (9:41 PM): O RLY?
Lad 2 (9:41 PM): but now we've known ourselves
Mal (9:41 PM): Right.
Lad 2 (9:42 PM): 82033
Lad 2 (9:42 PM): 44612
Mal (9:43 PM): Not so fast there, Bubba-Louie.
Lad 2 (9:43 PM): arte you giving us the complete mtcn or not?
Lad 2 (9:44 PM): or maybe you did not send any money
Mal (9:45 PM): Now that you're together, you can prove that you're fair dinkum. Since you each sent me the same message, I suspect that you might be one and the same person. I want confirmation.
Lad 2 (9:46 PM): what kind of confirmation?
Lad 2 (9:46 PM): you spoke to us on the phone what else do you want for confirmation
Lad 2 (9:46 PM): ?
Mal (9:47 PM): Well, you both sent me the same picture of the same boxes. Either you're twins, which seems not to be the case, or there's something downbeat happening.
Mal (9:48 PM): Another picture of you both with your boxes, all together, would be a good step.
Lad 2 (9:48 PM): that means you did not send any money to us
Lad 2 (9:48 PM): stop lieing
Lad 2 (9:48 PM): bye
Mal (9:49 PM): Hah. I'll retrieve the money first thing tomorrow. Since you won't (or can't) prove yourself, that's too bad for you.

But there's more to come... including both Lads on the phone, as Lad 2 mentioned...
