Hi guys. I'm publishing my first bait, which involved a scammer pretending to be famous soldier from Iraq needing my help to get the money out of the country.
I think this post might be mostly interesting to other newbies who want to get started and are curious what a conversation may look like from start to finish. This was actually the very first lad I contacted so I was very happily surprised to get a piggy on my first attempt already, although this was in large part due to to advice of my mentor Doraemon.
We are John Doe, the "Soldier" is Tommy Atkins and the delivery company is Courier Convenient. The original names were of real people/companies so they were changed for their protection.
Part 1: The setup
The first part of the email exchange is always just a bunch of scripts where they try to hook you in. They are the most boring so just send small quick replies until you get past the part where you share your address.

(No sense putting much effort into the first response as they'll just send you a scripted response anyway.)

Re: Quick Response
Hi John,
Pardon my intrusion; Let me re-introduce myself to you, My name is SFC Tommy Atkins. I am an American soldier presently on active service with Squadron in Afghanistan. I served with the Third Infantry Division in Iraq, before thousand of my lucky colleagues were pulled out years ago, leaving me among the unlucky ones first drafted to Afghanistan where i am serving presently. During my call to duty in Iraq, I found US$7 million (Seven Million US dollars) being part of funds recovered from late Saddam Hussein during a search in one of his palaces. This funds has been deposited in a secured financial institution for some time now.
Basically, since i am not among thousands of our colleagues that were withdrawn back to the states or know where my fate lies anymore, I cannot continue to keep these funds in the financial institution for as long as I remain here. Hence i have decided to look for a reliable and trustworthy person that could assist me to retrieve these funds from the financial institution for investment or safe keeping, I've been in search for someone that can handle this and when i came across your profile i feel i can trust you to handle this.
Once you retrieve the funds, we shall disburse it in three proportions: you will have 40% and I will have 55%, 5% will be set aside to offset all expenses that may be incurred in the process of retrieving the funds. For security reasons, this transaction must be kept very secret, and should not be disclosed to anyone else. As long as you follow my instructions, I can assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
Do get back to me with your response and i will forward more information to you.
Respectfully submitted.
Tommy Atkins.

Dear mr Atkins,
Your message was well received. I really could use that money. But I'm afraid I'll get into trouble with the police. Please tell me how I can do this risk free?

Re: Quick Response
Thank you for your response, please let me have an address where you want them to deliver the box to you. As soon as I get it, I will start making arrangements as to sending the box to you. I want to assure you that everything done here are strictly 100% legitimate and also you have the choice to refuse or accept this transaction if found not suitable for you, this is a turn around for both of us and I need you total support and trust to work this out. Your percentage still stands at 30%.
What do you do for a living?
Are you married with kids?
I will also want to see your passport copy or id/,driver's License so I know who I am dealing with OK .We need to build trust OK! It is only me that knows about the transaction from this end. You know that the security is very important, remember to keep secret. Send me your mobile number.
Attached to this mail is a copy of my id for your perusal
Thank you and await your response

Here attached some fake/stolen documents to the email. I did notice something strange, the percentage has suddenly become 30%? Was he testing me?

thank you

Hmm strange. My mentor Doraemon commented that it probably was just a mess up on his part, and I should be more careful not to "educate" him to improve his scripts. Whoops.

Re: Quick Response
Dear mr Atkins,
Ok I understand, please send the package to this address:
<< My fake address >>
I will keep the money for you and only take my 40% share as agreed.
I'm worried about the delivery. Are there any secure delivery companies that we can use from Iraq? I can pay any extra delivery costs if needed.
Regards,
John Doe

Typically lads will always be asking for an address. Obviously they don't really care as they're not really going to send you any money, but it's just to test that you're gullible enough to share your real information. Here I sent a real sounding but nonexistent address. I didn't attach any sort of fake ID to make sure the lads won't be able to reuse it for real victims.
Part 2: The delivery company comes into play

There was an Inside Attack at the depot this morning and all properties deposited for airlifting has been evacuated to UAE from where they will be sorted out and sent to their destinations, this is a private diplomatic company, It was an unexpected development. The agent has assured me that every item evacuated will get to their respective destinations as long as they where duly entered into their data system at the joint military depot here.It is from UAE that you will be contacted for verification of the package and delivery information granted to you. The agent informed me that you need to contact their office in Dubai for the delivery of the Package to you.
You are to contact the company at the branch office in Dubai. Keep me informed of all communication and dealings with anybody as long as it has to do with the package. Please when you have made contact with them be rest assured that there is nothing to worry about. It will be a normal verification procedure. Please,everything depends on you to have the package delivered to you safely. It is documented in your name. If for any reason there is need to re-confirm the content of the consignment, you are to inform the handling company that the consignment contains Historic Books as recorded here in Afghanistan for your research, please keep me posted ones you've made contact with them. Most importantly, you must let the company know that the package is needed urgently at your location and must be shipped to you as soon as possible.

Almost like we're part of a novel, how exciting! It's really important that the lad believes that we think the delivery company is real. So from this point on we'll need to keep writing to them both.

I was thinking of different possibilities of what to send to the courier. What would happen if we would be "stupid" enough to blow our cover? I discussed this with Doraemon and he suggested that at this point we just want to play along to get to the payment stage as fast as possible and get the lad more invested and thinking we'll pay up. I sent his suggested response:

Part 3: A fee is needed to release our box with money

Courier Convenient to John Doe; 2017-02-06 13:08
Re: Pin: 281231/US/2312017
Good day John Doe
Your information's has been confirmed and clarified, there is a new development here in Dubai, stating that all consignment/package must be sent to the UAE Insurance Scheme before delivery, as we were informed, it is a vital policy that any consignment/package living Dubai, must be insured in-case of demur-rage, you need to pay for the insurance policy charge that will be covering your Consignment before it can be delivered to you as we were made to understand. The insurance policy covering your box on amounts to $850.00 USD(United States Dollars) and this is because of the weight of your consignment.
For greater protection your consignment has to be insured in accordance with shipping regulations under unlimited liability. This comprehensive cash in transit insurance cover for your consignment has been arranged {for effective and fast customs clearance}. Delivery of consignment commences {IMMEDIATELY} after payment covering insurance charges is made, and also you are to attached a scan copy of your Passport or drivers licence for identification.
It is a Vital Policy and is Mandatory here in UAE that all Consignment leaving Dubai must be Insured in case of demur-rage and protection, the consignment was never insured. We will submit your details to the Insurance Department at the Airport, and they will issue us the way for you to make transfer of the $850.00 USD(United States Dollars) to the account officer as soon as you are ready to do so, Your Consignment will be lifted on Board for delivery to your Door Post right there in your country within 48hrs after insurance.
You are advice to get back to us with a specified date for payment, to make proper arrangement, I anticipate your swift response in this regard.

Uh oh, an extra fee is needed. Let's message the soldier again to ingrain the idea that we believe he is two different people. Also this is a good opportunity to start introducing the idea of using a bank transfer as we're bound to be asked to do a WU or MG transfer first.

Re: Quick Response
Thank you for your response you got me worried when thank God you are okay, I was able to contact the delivery company about this issue and was told the importance of this fee, I told them I will not tolerate any problems with the consignment and that they will not be happy if I have to apply my military powers on this issue, but they told me about the necessity of the fee which was never paid for, I was told about the delivery fee and other documents and I was never told of the insurance, but it's a very important policy in UAE, as I have made contacts to verify
I am really sorry about bothering you about this despite the fact that this was not our initial plan or agreement, but please note that there is absolutely no issue around this consignment, Is important the insurance is made on the box for greater protection like we were informed, I am on my knees now pleading, I beg of you to understand my condition and help in paying this funds to the Delivery Company. Please you are my last hope and nobody else is on my mind except you. Please remember to keep my share of the funds in a safe place or if you are very good with investments you can invest it for me until i can finish everything here and I can join you.
Thank you for the kindness and generosity God Bless you.

Let's ask for a bank transfer instead. At this point many lads will first try to convince you to use WU or MG anyway. Some (poorer) lads won't even have any bank information to give. However not this time.

Instead of a friendly message like this, in retrospect it probably would've been better to accuse him and getting angry at him for giving us non-working bank accounts to shift the focus of blame.

Yay piggy #2!. From what I've experienced and been told by Doraemon, this is usually the make or break point. Many lads will drop you after 2 failed bank accounts, as the probability of 2 actually failing (e.g. because of banks/police intervening) in a short time is very low. And the probability that you will pay the 3rd time is questionable now.

Uh oh, looks like the lad has very little hope in us left and doesn't want to sacrifice another piggy...
Maybe we can set up some kind of play where instead of paying the courier we pay the soldier?

No response after this. Looks like the lad twigged!
Conclusion
I'd say this bait was a success. We got two piggies out of him and wasted a bunch of his time. I also had a lot of fun trying to "de-educate" him by intentionally messing up spelling and grammar.
The script was more exciting than the typical loan or lottery scams, but I think it is harder to work with. For example, with a loan lad you can threaten them with going to a different firm or try to get them to charge you a larger fee (getting more invested in you). One thing I noted is that in the future I think I should try to put more blame on the lad for having non-working bank accounts.
Let me know if you enjoyed this and I'd like to thank Doraemon for sharing his insights and methods. |

Very nice, gazelle, how you got those piggies without much effort! And it is always worth not to give up and asking for more |
