Yes, please forward it to Alan on [email protected] and include the full headers of the email containing the bank account info, cheers.

I've been forwading the same bank info to alan periodically for 6 months or more. Keep waiting for the account to be 'no good' anymore & I'll sometimes tell the scammers they need to send me a new receiving bank because my transfer was rejected (bad bank info, restricted account, terrorism watch list, whatever...) and hoping eventually it'll be somewhat true. But no, many months later the scammers keep insisting it remains a good account and I should send the money there asap.

Should I expect any different? Some of these I've had going for over a year, the bank accounts they want me to transfer money into rarely if ever change. Feels like I'm acquiring & sending bank account info into a black hole for no reason with the 'alan' thing...

^^^Alan does work closely with the authorities but they don't just close the account on a say-so. These things have to be investigated and that, unfortunately, takes time.

No bank, even those in the more dubious parts of the world, want to host a bank account being used for fraud, because inevitably it is likely they'll end up with a fraud against them too.

It is not impossible that the authorities could require a bank to allow an account to run for monitoring purposes, in rare and serious instances.

The authorities may have trouble coping with the volume of reports we send them, but that's beyond anyone's control.

Alan reports and 80% closure rate if I recall correctly.... that one might just be one of the 20%....

He is a resource for baiters and has contacts with financial and law enforcement authorities. We send real bank account information which lads use to collect funds from their victims. Alan then reports this information to the authorities and the account is then monitored and or closed.

Standard Chartered in Madison Avenue NY may be a hard one. I am currentl baiting an outfit where I have sent two accounts to Alan and they pop up with a third at the same bank. Only minor name changes too. I think I'll try to open an account there just to see.
