I have ascammer who i've been stringing along for a few weeks.
I claimed that I'd never heard of Western Union or Money Gram, so managed to extract a bank account from him, which was sent to Alan.

After a week of UK banking incompetance, my money was returned back to my account, so I had to start the process again, only this time i insisted that it went to another bank account, which again was sent to Alan.

He's now starting to believe that I never sent the money, so today, I told him that I wish I'd never got involved, and that I've asked the bank to cancel the transfer.

I've tricked him with SecTrans about 3 times, so I know that he's not going to fall for it again.
I also tried for a trophy photo, I made out that the bank was insisting, but he wasn't having any.

Today, he's insisting that I send the money via WU or MG.
I'll string him along for a few days saying that I'll go and find a WU office, but like I say, he's not going to fall for SecTrans again, so where can I take him next. ?

I would tell him that you went to the WU office as requested, and tried to send off his cash - however, the staff informed you that his name / details had been flagged up as suspitious. . .

. . . You could then play it in a couple of ways
1) demand bank details as the Western Onion are not cooperating and you do not want your good name associated with suspicious activity

2) Make him complete a long winded UK anti terrorism / money laundering form to prove he is not suspicious.

either of these ways will keep him busy for a while longer.

or you could introduce a dolla chop . . .

When you tried to send the money the cashier was so suspicious about the nature of the transaction they called the manager/ess down. You demanded they sent the money and the argument got very heated, so much so that someone called the police. The police officer demanded you tell him the full nature of your business, as it was a police officer you felt obliged to tell the officer the full story. They informed you it was a scam and you shouldn't send the money, 'is this a scam?'. Then they will have to try and win back your trust over a series of days.

This either puts you back on the offensive or you get dumped by the lad but they could dump you over anything so it's always worth a shot. And if they do it ain't the end of the world there are plenty more out there or just start baiting him again from a different Email address and go through all your stuff again.

what 4x1x9 said plus you could mention their suspicions were raised due to the amount of transfers you have been making to West Africa over the past few weeks the teller recognised you . You could try going to the next nearest WOnion office but it is a 5 hr journey away yada, yada

Offer him to give him the money directly. Look for some flight details and let him wait at the airport.

Later write him that you missed the flight (traffic jam ...).

Charter a small plane that crashes in a neighboring country. Ask him to pick you up and get the money.
