Got sent this by one of my lads:

Quote:

KINDLY PAY THE FEE TO OUR SERVICE COLLECTION ACCOUNT BELOW, AND SEND A COPY OF THE TRANSFER SLIP FOR RECORD PURPOSES.

BENEFICIARY NAME: E.J.O. NDLOVU

ACCOUNT NUMBER: 62363724602

BRANCH CODE: 250655

SWIFT CODE: firnzajj

BANK: FNB, SOUTH AFRICA.

Seems to match to:
FIRSTRAND BANK LTD HEAD OFFICE INCL. DIVISIONS FIRST NATIONAL BANK, FNB CORPORATE AND RAND MERCHANT BANK

Is this a win?

How do I send it to Allan?
I am using GMail and am not sure how to forward it to show headers.

Also, it is not all in one thread.
DO I need to send it all (stuff from the lad and "his lawyer")?

p.s.
Can I have a kosher animal instead of the pig?
j/k Very Happy

There's a sticky on sending bank accounts to Alan. Send enough to prove that the bank account is connected with fraud. I usually send the original script, the message that introduces the current character, and the current character's request for money; but I just got one in which someone playing the FBI asks for money, using an email address at Hotmail and a number not in Washington.

Do you use goatee banks in your country? Very Happy

Sent him the stuff.

Gonna be real funny cos I am "Out of Office" at the moment as far as the lad is concerned. I am off on an Autumnal Equinox binge and party.

So, when "I" come back there is no way he will think it was me.

We don't really have equivalents to piggy banks.
We jst have things in all shapes and sizes.

Lovely piggie you have there. Congratulations on getting your first account.

Master Baiter Joined: 08 Aug 2012 Posts: 189

TY.
I'm hoping that, since he won't think I had anything to do with it (cos "I" am off partying), I might be able to get another one from him.

Great job. jump_4_joy

It's very likely you will. it's not unknown to get six or seven accounts before they give up or cry foul. If your lad wants his money he'll just have to keep providing them.
Well done Smile

What do I say to him about the account being closed?
Do I play totally dumb and say I couldn't transfer or do I say that it looks like it was closed due to fraud or something?

I thinking of telling him that I can't yet transfer the money because I have to pay some sort of fee (Overseas transfer fee) to get permission to do so.
Hopefully this will pique his interest since he will see that I am willing to pay more money.
Also, should give me an extra week or two or more of fun blaming my stupid bank and the Australian banking authorities. Laughing

The transfer failed because of general bank error. Maybe the clerk at the bank transposed digits. The bank account was linked to {Ku Klux Klan | Papuan rebels | drug traffic | Berber Liberation Front}. The routing number and SWIFT code don't match.

So, after getting pissed that it is taking so long he asked me to cancel the transfer and send it to another account. Smile

Of course, it is gonna take me a few days to do that and then I am going to fill in a new "International Transfer" form.

Meantime I got a second account which checks out:

NAME N.R. MAPHUMULO

ACCOUNT NUM: 9266914767

BRANCH CODE: 632005

SWIFT CODE: ABSAZAJJ

BANK NAME: ABSA BANK SOUTH AFRICA

That makes 2 piggies.

Glad you didn't leave your first piggy lonely for very long. There's always more room in the sty though.

When I tell him that the transfer was blocked due to a "suspicion of fraud" on that account I hope he will then try again.

That first one always feels good! Nice job getting another so quickly! I generally tell them that the money returned to my account and my banker cannot discuss problems with another persons account. Let them try to figure out why. I don't bother checking on the money for at least a week from the time I received it but my character emails his transfers in.

^^^^
Didn't follow that last bit. Question

Baiting Guru Joined: 27 Mar 2011 Posts: 21158

If your talking about not checking on the money, I distract them with mundane stuff other than money for at least a week until they remember it isn't there yet. I've bought myself several weeks with some lads by just ignoring any of that money talk.

When they do finally bring it back, I have to mail my banker to find out. This is another few days.

Sent him a PRAT form to fill in for the transfer.

Got back to me:

Quote:

i dont understand the form if you are willing to continue or send the money you can send through western union or money gram.

Of course, I have no WU or MG near me:

Quote:

As I said before - we don't have WU or MG around here.

I do all my banking online.

We are an hour's drive from the nearest town (more like a village).

That's the only way we can do it.

But it seems he doesn't understand English:

Quote:

if you really wanna do this transaction drive to town and send it through western union or money gram.

Decided to scare him into thinking someone else is getting his money:

Quote:

Driving to town won't help.
I have told you before that there is NO WU or MG even in the town.

Bank transfer is the ONLY way. It worked OK last week with someone else so why not with you?

He finally had enough of trying to fill in that form.

So, I told him that my bank said it was a problem with the specific bank I was sending to.
Asked him if he has an account in a different bank.

Another piggy coming my way?

Oh my. You are getting a piggy farm Thumbs up

Well done. I am impressed.

Let's wait and see if he gives it to me first.
