@Marvin

I have also just contacted the BBC website regarding these scumbags. If a few more people do so, perhaps we may see some action.

Recieved only one reply so far which came in the early hours, part of which reads-

I want to trust you with the fear of God that when this fund enters your account you will do as Mrs. Terri Irwin said. Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.

I will respond Urgently later Evil or Very Mad

If this lad does the normal thing of taking the weekend off come Monday he is going to be swamped.

I'm just hoping a major newspaper will pick up on the story. It has now gone to several major news services in Australia. It needs to be in the British and American press if possible, so take a break from baiting him for five minutes (well he has to breath before your shove his head back under the water) and write to a newspaper! Be polite, avoid expletives, direct them to 419eater for further information.

Got my reply from him this morning:

Dear Father O'H.

I am writing in response to your mail. I which to introduce my self to you before i go forther. I am Barrister Antony Edward a Solicitor at law and the personal attorney to late Mr. Steve Irwin family a National of Australia <SNIP>

Looks like he is personalising each response to baiters names rather than blanket scripted replies to everyone, that will take him more time.

Just to confirm his IP as Nigeria from Cobranet:

Furthermore, with regards to the legality of this transaction, I must let you know that this transaction is real and risk free,......

Still on script and from the limited feedback from other baiters, he seems to be sticking to the same character.

I'll reply either tomorrow or Monday. In the meantime I'll fire of a couple of letters to news organisations. As @Marvin suggests, might be useful if other baiters did the same. Remember keep it polite and no swearing.

@Scam Patroller - in view of that I've posted the original email on 419legal.org and commented on your trace .... hang on to those emails m8! (one can always live in hope)

Yep, I got the exact same reply a few hours ago.

Might be a bit early to get him off script, usually they just fire off a standard sequence of replies irrespective of message contents.

Still doesn't hurt none to try Wink

I confirm SP's report, same header readings.

I may have nudged him ever so slightly off script after I replied:

Quote:

I have a problem with this - you state that Mrs Irwin wants me to use her money to fund churches and mosques; there is no way I would do that. I'm neither a Christian nor a Moslem; in fact I see the creeds of Yeshua and Mohammed as curses on the world. I'd be happy to see the money go to charities, but never to build churches and mosques. Can we work through this?
As for the other details - my full name is , I'm Australian, and my occupation is photographic model.
I don't have a fax (never needed it); and my phone - well, under the circumstances, it wouldn't be wise for you to call me. I share a house with four other women, two of them total stickybeaks; there's every chance one of them would listen in or overhear. Steve Irwin is still big news down here, and if it got out, there'd be the kind of attention we would not need.

He got back to me:

Quote:

Thank you for your response to my request. I receive the information as requested. Considering the money involved, it is necessary for me to be sure of the person to whom I will be entrusting to make sure that Mrs. Terri Irwin contribution to the development of the Church and Mosque will well done as she said; my trust is not given out lightly. What I need from you at this stage is trust and commitment/confidentiality.

Has anyone else got a similar first paragraph?

Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2006 3:06 pm

Quote:

I Believe that Mrs. Terri will also be very happy and grateful if she hears that you where the one who help her to claim the fund from the bank and also help her to contribute to the Church and Mosque in the world while the rest %40 belong to you as she mentioned.

I think we all got that one. He sent me some documents, but I told him I do not own a scanner. He sent me this:

Quote:

As you have asked, I advice you fill and attach the form and send to it the bank through thier email, as you said you have no fax or scanner. Do get back to me as soon as the bank get back to you.

I think he hardly has time to read his mails. Time for a subtle slap, that was not an answer to my 'can I send you a copy of my passport through the mail? Please give me a postal address' question.

Yes he is still on script. My character is a lawyer for the . His replies to me read as if he is not yet reading what he has been sent.

Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2006 5:05 pm

I think he must have forgotten about me in the stampede, so I sent him another reminder from the Bishop Confused

Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2006 5:26 pm

Did anyone else get some nice RSOT documents to fill in? He is pressuring me into sending a scan of my passport as well (I told him to give me a postal address so I can send him a copy). Is he getting smarter? Or is it part of the script?

The address is legit, it's on this HSBC page:

http://www.hsbcnet.com/hsbc/home/contact-us/europe/united-kingdom

The phone numbers, are paid for numbers which scammers use a lot to give the impression they are in London, they are London geographic numbers which probably redirect to a lads phone in Africa:

+44-207-060-0736
Number billable as: geographic number
Country or destination: United Kingdom
Original network provider*: Digital Mail Limited

Quote:

+44-207-060-0737
Number billable as: geographic number
Country or destination: United Kingdom
Original network provider*: Digital Mail Limited

Digital Mail Limited, where the numbers are registered to, is the same as DMClub that a lot of baiters use for personal numbers:

http://www.digitalmail.com/dmclub.htm

And this is where you buy the 0207 London numbers:

DMClub 0207 Numbers

^^^^^ Yeah, sorry I should have specified that I was asking for someone to check the numbers, not the address. I already checked the address and found it was legit. As they say, my bad Embarassed

I cannot find those numbers as belonging to HSBC

I took far too long researching it Smile

Gotta say: this is one busy lad. 21:30 Saturday and he's still at work. I just got my first reply from the bank.
