A recent scam letter asked me the usual personal info, so I responded that I was 12 years old. The scammer was surprised, but still more than willing to take my money. He even wrote: "i expect that you keep this transaction fully CONFIDENTIAL between me and you and please do not even tell your father or mother about this."

I think this kid is going to drive a mugu nuts.

Excellent idea. PM Reaper for some inside knowledge!

He's taking it easy on me. Only asking for a paltry $700. I told him it was no problem, as I'd been saving my allowance.

Very interesting. I got another lotto email this morning that said "NOTE: YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED IF YOU ARE BELOW 18 YEARS OF AGE." I was thinking about replying that I was below 18 just to see what would happen.

Now I know. Scumbags.

Tell him you only have $8 and see if he wants it. Laughing

Doesn't WU and MoneyGram have a minors policy? Twisted Evil

I'm surprised, lads dont usually bother if you're too young...but since you have $700 in savings, I'm sure he'll be happy to take it...

I actually told him that my dad helped me invest my allowance, and I had done very well, amassing $10,000. He must be pissed he asked for so little to start with. But I'm sure he'll find some other "fees" and whatnot to add to the $700.

Thats what will make this a great bait is because the dumbass on the other end cant figure this out. Imagine that poor little girl running around the city trying to send his money and running into roadblocks everywhere. Should be fun!

1 other nice thing 12 year olds don't have their own I.D. usually. So that can also give some nice problems for the mugu Twisted Evil

@ MHK
You don't need i.d. to send money WU, it's the receiver who needs i.d.

Can I play with your mugu when you're done? Cool

Thats the beauty of this.......you know it, I know it, everyone else knows it, but the little girl doesnt know it because she has never done WU before.

Not having an id is another stall she can throw at the mugu, she thinks she cant do it because she doesnt have an id. So, let the mugu explain it to her and waste more of his time, energy and emotion. Maybe the mugu doesnt even know she doesnt need it and will waste more his time trying to figure out how he can get money from her.

You are dealing with scammers here.
Did you expect them to have a code of conduct that excludes any particular group of intended victims? Confused

I was going to use that modality at some point, so I shall watch and learn.
Very Happy

If he asks for some ID send a library card Laughing

I think your mugu ran in to a pile of problems trying to scam a 12 year old Laughing

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 9:26 pm

I know there is a general policy against sending any fake ID to a lad, but could there be an exception if the fake ID is for a nonexistent ELEMENTARY school? Laughing

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 9:31 pm

Something that he could never re-use in a million years

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 10:05 pm

Drive this lad nuts. just make sure you let us know how it goes. Maybe you should introduce a rich father.

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 10:31 pm

I love that ID!

hahahahaha!
