Well, this has been pretty fun. I can't remember how it started, I probably pulled an excess emial from the eater, and it got going that way.

CAST: Carl K, not too smart, not too literate

Mohammed: Scammer

Barrister Mendy: Barrister.

IP Address: same, same. Smile

Most emails chopped or deleted, pertinent/funny stuff only!

Step 1: misspell his name, concern about legality.
He insists all is legal.
Step 2: I make him resend all info
He resends all info.
Step 3: I ask him whom I am supposed to be, then email again and say I made something up.
He says I should be next-of-kin Nephew, which is Fortuitous, because that�s what I made up to �Banker�

Suddenly, the banker disappears, and Mohammed says he must find a lawyer in Dakar to do the transaction.

Quote:

Dear Carl,

Barrister Mendy gradually gets all bent out of shape. I let him sit for a day or so.

Quote:

dear my carl,
how are you today?
i was coming from the office of the barrister and he was complaining that,you gave him wrong control numbers.kindly give to him the correct control numbers so that,he can claim the money from the western union.
he said that,the control number you gave him was 9 numbers instead of 10 numbers.
the control numbers of the western union is suppose to be 10 numbers.make sure you give him the correct numbers.
yours faithfully,
mohamed
***************************************

I finally reply. Sadly, I enclosed nothing at all.

Quote:

MY DEAR BARRISTER MINDY,

BUSINESS IS HECTIC AND DEMANDS MY ATTENTION! I HAD SECRETARY HANDLE
SCAN AND EMAIL OF RECEITPT FOR YOU! IS ENCLOSED.

I HOPE THIS MAKES TRANSACTION GO FASTAR!

-CARL

Mendy replies again about the control number. I finally email him the �proper� scan. Sadly he will not be able to open it.

Then, I figure, 850 euros is not that much, why not sweeten the pot and test his honesty? I write,

Quote:

DEAR MENDY, ALSO I FORGET. IS FEES 8500 EUROS OR 850 EUROS? I SEND
WESTERN UNION FOR 8500 EUROS JUST IN CASE. I SORRY, LOST OLD EMIALS.

YOURS,

CARL

BARRISTER MENDY SNAPS!
TWICE!

Quote:

DEAR CARL

I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE JUST JOKING WITH ME.

IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT THE BUSINESS JUST TELL ME INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME FOR NOTHING.

BARRISTER MENDY.
**************************************
dear carl,

i can understand that you are just joking with me.if you are not interested in the business,just let me know so that,it could be given to a more serious person.

instead of you playing games with me,just tell me you do not have money to pay.

if in your next mail i did not see the control number of the money,i will forget you and the business.

i have more serious things to do other wasting my precious time with you.

Barrister Mendy Esq.

Well, I am offended! I let him, know, and complain to Mohammed as well.

I make him wait till 9 pm to call me. In retrospect, I should have had him call me at midnight, his time.
**audio link**

BARRISTER MENDY APOLOGISES PROFUSELY! FIRST AUDIO TROPHY!

Sadly, the numbers I gave him over the phone probably won�t work either, and I bet their trust in me will be dashed by the next WU trip or online check.
Next, both Mendy and Mohammed start gushing over me.

Quote:

dear Carl,
thank you so very much for your acceptance of the lawyer.i know that,he will not do such things again.
i was surprised to hear that,you had problem with him btu,never mind all we need do is try to make him help us get the money transfered to you.
from the very first time i met you,i have known you as a responsible and clever man,that is my reason of holding on to you.i know that,you are capable of handling good business.
you have been a wonderful man and i hope you will forget and forgive the lawyer his misconduct yesterday.
i will be glad if you forgive him and always keep me informed in whatever you are doing with him.

*********************************************
DO NOT BE OFFENDED FOR THE PROBLEMS THE MONEY HAS CAUSED TO US..THE WESTERN UNION AGENT SAID THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE GIVEN TO THEM DID NOT CORRESPOND WITH MINE HERE.I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE INFORMATION ON HOW YOU ARE GOING TO RESEND THE MONEY BACK TO ME.

Dear Carl,

HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

please,there is a big problem concerning the money you sent to me.

FIRST...THE WESTERN UNION AGENT WHOM SUPPOSE TO HAVE GIVEN THE MONEY TO ME REFUSED DUE TO THE INFORMATION IN WHICH YOU SENT THE MONEY DID NOT CORRESPOND WITH MY NAME. FOR INSTANCE..MY NAME IS A MENDY.

SECONDLY....YOUR NAMES SHE SAID WAS NOT THE SAME NAME AS MINE.I DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE AGENT..YOU SEE, SOME OF THE AGENTS IN AFRICA ARE ILLITRATES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO READ CORRECTLY OR WRITE.

THIRDLY.....YOU SHOLD KINDLY RESEND THE MONEY BACK TO ME BY USING THIS INFORMATION.

MY NAME.....A. MENDY

IDENTITY NO..SL 9842546

COUNTRY......SENEGAL.

etc

KINDLY TRY TO RESEND THE MONEY TODAY.YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY MOHAMED HASSAN IS PLEADING WITH YOU TO HELP HIM GET THE MONEY TRANSFERED IN YOUR COUNTRY.AFRICANS ARE VERY BAD AND THEY ARE TOO CORUPT IN TERMS OF MONEY.

DO NOT BE OFFENDED CAUSE AFRICA IS STIL UNDERDEVELOPED AND UNCIVILISED.IAM SORRY FOR THE INCONVINIENCE THAT THIS MUST HAVE CAUSED YOU.

I WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

BARRISTER MENDY ESQ

Time to start setting up a form send, and another honesty check, because the last one made Mendy get nutty:

Quote:

AGAIN, PLEASE, I DO NOT REMEMBER FEES AMOUNT. PLEASE INFORM OF ME TO
FEES AMOUNT AND I WILL RESEND TRTANSFER FIRST THING TOMROOW!

A shockingly honest reply!

YOU WILL REMAIN MY FRIEND FOREVER CAUSE YOU ARE THE KIND OF MAN I WANT TO WORK FOR.

THANK YOU AND BE BLESSED.

BARRISTER MENDY.

Oh darn, WU hates me now and I must use Moneygram, and they give me these forms! I suspect that his friendsip won�t be too deep after this.

Quote:

MY DEAREST MINDY:

I AM RETURNED FROM WESTERN UNION OFFICE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO
BUSINE WITH ME DUE TO LAST FOREIGN TRANSFER NOT SUCCESSFUL.

I AM FORCED TO USE MONEYGRAM INSTEAD AND THEY GIVE ME FORM FOR YOU TO
COMPLETE BEFORE MONEY TRANSFER INTERNATIONAL TO TAKE PLACE TOMORROW!

I ATTACH FORM FOR YOU TO PRINT OUT FILL AND SEND TO ME AND I INITIATE
MONEY TRANSFER IMMEDIATELY!

YOURS,
CARL

**attach Moneygram Security form ***

And, that�s where it ends for now. Will I get the forms back? Who knows. I suspect that in a couple of days I�ll be a busy little baiter, and much as I am sort of fond of touchy old Mendy, I think I�m going to have to cut him loose somehow.

@guns n bees - Nice job for your first bait. Very Happy

You got their blood boiled and wasted their time with a trip down to the Western Union. They hate going down there and coming back empty handed. Laughing

Great job on firing the lawyer and watching him grovel his way back with apologies! Laughing

It's a great feeling. There you are behind your computer and you make a criminal on the other side of the world take a wasted trip to the WU with false informations that make them look like a fool.

Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:23 pm

Thanks guys! Mendy just returned the Security Validation Form!

My favorite part...

Q. Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
A. TO BE FED

-gnb rolls on the floor laughing

Heck, he did one, he might be good for another. I sent him the Infamous Form 49, moneygram flavor.

Posted: Sat Aug 27, 2005 4:40 pm

He filled out form 49!! This lad works pretty hard for his 850 Euros. Amazing!

Unfortunatley for him, he did it wrong, so try number two will have to come up. Also probably a photo of some sort.
