Previously he asked for Moneygram payment but I sent him forms... Then he said

WE ARE SORRY TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO FILL THE FORM YOU SENT TO US DUE TO SOME PROBLEM
WE ARE HAVING WITH THE STUPID QUESTION THEY ASKED US TO FILL

What do I do? Do I get a few accounts closed and then try to get him to fill in some forms for fun Twisted Evil

? Or should I just get a few accounts and switch him to Western Union and say that I feel more secure about this as they offer anti-scam protection forms and have him fill them in Twisted Evil

?

Thanks for any help (sorry if this is a bit long-winded...)

Well, I'd say you're on to something here. Just ask him for another bank account, report it and then another... and when he gets too pissed off, agree to have a WU money transfer and then introduce a new character, tell him that he's been dolla chopped...

That does make sense... Just a second question - how long should I wait between asking for new accounts?

Not ALL lads are easy to have forms filled out. I don't know what you send him but it looks that he saw through it Laughing

Like Tururut suggested, tweak the bait and go for another piggy Wink

I would leave it for a few days (4 - 5) then tell your lad that your bank has told you that the account he gave you was flagged as suspicious, and you REALLY want this deal to go through and does he have anothe account you could try..... Wink

go for that extra long team building week with the company and by the time you get back your voice mail is blocked with bank messages about that deposit, just ask your friend if he knows what's going on there, before you can make it to the bank Wink

just go back and forth, have problems with MG and WU, then go back to bank accounts, They will go on for months like this, my lad has given up six accounts so far and just keeps on giving.

Hi viper492!
Please report the account to a mod. It's probably belongs to a money mule and he/she needs to be warned.
Au Pair lad are known to have an attitude. They live in a fantasy world so you need to smash it!
A few piggies, some trips to Money Grams, Security Shield or even a safari.
You just received an email from barrister Frank, so you won't need their job any more Very Happy

I've reported the account to Alan... and the lad seems to be a slightly smarter variety in the species Shocked

Hopefully I can string him along for a bit longer - I told the "host" that I was busy all week and would send payment on Friday Wink

I'll continue to try and get bank accounts - I might post progress but I will continue to try and get a good old Pink audi for the sig (Not sure if these have to be awarded or can be claimed if you get the MG forms filled in...[mod could help here please])

Btw, I haven't even given him a phone number yet Wink

Yep, and he isn't the first. But I have to be insistent on the rules and blaming 'The Man'
