Ok guys, just to keep you all in the loop, here's the latest email that I received today off him. Help and advice on how to continue this one would be appreciated cos this isn't my usual type of bait. This is probably my first non romance bait since the start of the year.

Dear XXXXXXX,

How are you and your entire family? I will like to know the accusation of your status with the bank, because i received a mail from the bank yesterday, and i will wait to hearing from you, as you know that the time is not at our side, that means we have to hasten up.

Waiting to hearing from you,

Best Regard

We'll, there's an invitation to copy and paste a large section from War and Peace Smile

At this point in a bait, I usually point out that the bank is a fake and they are taking him and me for a ride. You are BOTH being conned! I have managed to get a mugu to change bank three times!

Don't know if you have checked this guy out...

The current Head of Chambers is Antony Edwards-Stuart QC

http://www.crownofficechambers.com/

Maybe a he needs to be asked a few legal questions.

Or, you have a friend who is married to Julian Campbell at the same company and wonders why he has dropped the "s-Stuart" in his email. And how can a Queen's Councillor describe himself a "Barr"?

Get some excuses. Make him wriggle.

I've been given the account details for Natwest bank London, Why would he want me to use that bank?
Isn't HSBC good enough for him?

I am most surprised at this response. I would have thought he would have switched bank accounts by now. He's dropped my character for a few days since this......

Dear Mr Dunn,
I went to the Natwest bank this afternoon as you requested and was taken
into a back office and questioned about the account. It seems that some
criminals are trying to get Mrs Irwins money. I told you the internet
wasn't safe didn't I? Perhaps you will now give me your phone number so
I can give you the western union details? Keep me informed
Baiter

He started off asking for the money by WU and then switched to the bank account later. The bank account has been reported and also in this thread has been declared invalid. Add that to the lack of response to Gmail etc and I am starting to question this lads motives. Ultra careful and ultra stupid ...... very odd

hi,
been watching this topic since it started
and i have recieved an email from him
also but as the the email that Tom Dickenarry
recieved that is one of the letters from this
sight i don't remember where i saw it i think
it was in emma's whatchamacallits anyways
for the last few days i keep having a recurring
thought that what if someone
is playing us and trying to keep us busy,
there are just too many odd things about this.
here is the email i recieved
i don't think i will reply because somehow
it has my real name in it and also i would
probably just screw up Embarassed

sorry if this post is too large but isn't my avatar worth it Very Happy

thanks

didn't think about taking it out

Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:08 pm

If it has your real name and email on it, drop it AND edit it out on your posting too.

Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:17 pm

^^^^^^^

just looked and the form i am talking about is on your homepage

Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:29 pm

Ooops!

Just to be clear, IT WAS ME, that CC'd my character in on the fraud warning. I did it to shake the lad up a bit and to try and extract a direct phone number by implying his emails were no longer secure. There was nobody else involved in this and I copied the idea from Emma's excellent pages.

It appears I may have caused more than one misunderstanding here, sorry folks. However there is still something very odd about this lad.

And then ask an admin to change your username here. Even if you're not one or more of the three hits I found on google, it's still too close to your real name for comfort.

Also please delete that long line in the email, it's blowing out the forum.

Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 9:11 pm

It's all good Tom. Very Happy

Sometimes a really dumb opening letter will turn out to be a fairly clever lad. This is because a low level lad may write and send them, and turn it over to someone higher up in the food chain when they get a response.

Then again, lads can just be strange.

Well I baited him from 4 different addys, and just got a response on one just now. Could it be he is slowly going through his list of magas?

Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 12:06 pm

To be honest, this is one dumb arse Cool

He has sent me the same email four times, before I got the bank account details.
I've asked for a "please explain why I was detained today"
I'm not holding my breath on a response Smile

Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 1:46 pm

Now isn't it about time that Steve's widow contacted him to ask for the money? His heart might skip a beat or two, but who cares Twisted Evil

Any takers and Yes please keep us informed, you all are doing a great job clapping

Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:47 pm

I was starting to think that this bait was cold and dead, and that Der Mugu had probably figured out that we were all baiting him.

Then....just now....and out of nowhere, I get, not ONE, but SIX [EDITED....make that TEN!!!] identical e-mails (below) from "Antony Edward"....has anybody else gotten this one? What is it he's asking for now? It seems that he needs $45,000.00 to keep Mrs Irwin alive??? And he's looking for "donations"....

However we decide to do it....we should unleash hell on him!

Dear Father XXXXXXXXXX,

I am barrister Antony Edward Attorney at law in charge of Mrs Terri Irvin's properties. I wish to let you know that Mrs Irvin is presently in the United state where we are fighting very hard to ensure that she gets well first, of course as their family lawyer, I would not fold my arms and allow her to die away like her husband, her family is quite nice and lovely people, therefore she need to be taken good care of.

I want to thank you for kind of heart you have towards the needy, I know that it takes people that has human feelings only to feel this way, I salute your courage and heart. I must tell you this fact as this great family's lawyer whom I have known for years, if you were to be in this state, Mr & Mrs Irvin would have come to your rescue, that is the kind of heart they posses.

Sir, I have taken you into record as Mrs Irvin wished, butfirst we all have to join hands now to save her or at least make her live for more years, the doctors have said in their words that she has but a limited time to live but that she can live more if she can be taken care of medically, therefore all we should think of at the moment is how to raise money for the upkeep of this lovely woman medically, I know all I have done so far and will never get tired of doing it because of the good woman that is involved.

However, the funds with HSBC can not be touched at the moment because I have to secure certain documents and present to the bank and have the Director of the bank apend his signature before the funds could be touched at all, as it is now, I do not have time and money for the pursuance of the documents. My utmost concern at this time is to save this woman and make her live for more years. I know that Mrs Irvin would want to see you face to face upon her recovery, she is in a state ofconfusion presently.

Sir, the estimate the hospital management gave to me is $45,000 for her upkeep pending when she will be fine, I have gathered some amount of money also her good friends and associates, if you have anything from your heart to contribute, please do so urgently to enable me make a trip to the state as soon as possible. The doctors has warned that Mrs Irvin need to be attended to urgently and that she can not entertain visitors at the moment, that this time she need only doctors to always be by her side, I do understand what they meant.

I need to talk with you over the phone, could you please send me your direct telephone numbers for immediate communication, or you can call me on my direct telephone number: +44703 1914472. We will commence talk concerning the funds with HSBC after we rescue this woman. You can send money to this account below:

Bank Name:Capital City Bank
Bank Address: 101 SE Hwy 19
Crystal River, FL. 34429
Account Name: Russell R. Baker
Account Number: 8070102206
ABA Routing: 063100688.

Alternatively, you can also send money through western union payment system which is even more reliable and faster, the below information is for western union:

Name: RUSSELL R. BAKER.
Address: CRYSTAL RIVER, FLORIDA.

I will wait to hear from you as soon as possible.
Yours in service

Same here, the turd sent me that email above, guess he got his stuff together, finally

Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 8:35 pm

Here is my response to "the barrister"....

On "official" stationery:

Dear Mr. Edward, Esq.:

Where on earth have you been? I've written both to you... and to Mr. Dunn at the bank ....on numerous occasions...and I even had our attorney contact you, and we never heard back from you. I quite understand your being busy, but not returning important e-mails to me, even after I have pledged to support Mrs. Irwin...that is just simply bad form... and I would like a bit more of an explanation from you as to why you have chosen to treat me, as a man of God, in this manner.

Then, today - out of nowhere - I find my e-mail box virtually FILLED with a dozen duplicate e-mails from you. You are supposed to be a professional attorney, sir, but your actions betray you as nothing of the sort.

Now we must get down to serious business here....and I will not put up with further breaks in communication from you. Where in the U.S.A. is Terri Irwin now? When did she leave Australia? Is there any chance that I can go to see her this week? I have 80,000 United Airlines frequent-flyer miles that I can use for first-class travel anywhere in the U.S. I can fly to her location - or, we can arrange to have the mileage transfered to her name and she can fly here to meet me in Seattle or here in Scrotum Harbor at the Cathedral of St. Onan.

In your recent e-mail you state:

>> However, the funds with HSBC can not be touched at the moment because I have to secure certain documents and present to the bank and have the Director of the bank apend his signature before the funds could be touched at all, as it is now, I do not have time and money for the pursuance of the documents. My utmost concern at this time is to save this woman and make her live for more years. I know that Mrs Irvin would want to see you face to face upon her recovery, she is in a state of confusion presently. <<

I remain a little confused here. When do you think you will be able to touch the funds in the HSBC account? How long will it take you to secure the documents to present to the bank and have the Director apend his signature? Mr. Edward, as I informed you last month, I am counting on that money to build a soup-kitchen for the crack-whores of our city. As I figure it, if they are going to be fellating the local businessmen of Scrotum Harbor, at least they can do it with warm soup in their mouths.

And...about the fund for Mrs. Irwin...I am also confused....you tell me the following:

>> Bank Name:Capital City Bank
Bank Address: 101 SE Hwy 19
Crystal River, FL. 34429
Account Name: Russell R. Baker
Account Number: 8070102206
ABA Routing: 063100688.

Alternatively, you can also send money through western union payment system which is even more reliable and faster, the below information is for western union:

Name: RUSSELL R. BAKER.
Address: CRYSTAL RIVER, FLORIDA <<

I'm sorry, but, who is this Russell R. Baker? Is he in contact with Mrs Irwin? What is his phone number in Florida? I have a deacon in Florida I can send to his home with the cash. I have $15,000.00 in cash sitting here at my desk (see photo attached) that I would love to send....but I need to speak to you or to Mr. Baker before I can do that. I do not know Mr. Russell Baker and I need some assurance from both of you that when I send the money, that Mrs. Irwin will be the eventual recipient.

I also have a number of legal questions for you, regarding the eventual transfer of the inheritance funds to the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx account. As we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, we need to be extra careful when depositing large sums of money. I need your advice.

Please do NOT delay this any further. I need to hear from you within 24 hours. My voice and fax telephone number is below.

Regretfully, but most sincerely,

Father xxxxxxxxxx x. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
