My Dear,

I apologize for this intrusion, I decided to contact
you. My name is Mr. Robert Kofi. (IN GHANA) our
client died Three years ago left behind the sum of
(US$7.5M with interest) in our bank, which I.m the
manager, till his death up till now nobody has come
forward or put application for the claim.

During the bank private search for the relative
recently your name and email contact was among the
findings that matches the same surname as the deceases
name is (withheld for security reason) who died
interstate with no Will or next of kin.

To maintain the level of security required I have
intentionally left out the final details. I want you
to come forward since I can provide you with the
details needed for you to claim the Funds. In this way
$3,500,000.00 for you and $4,000,000.00 for me.

If I don 't hear from you within a certain period I
will assume you are not interested and will solicit
for a new partner, but if you know you are interested
let me know.

Thank you,
Mr. Robert Kofi.

This is so sad. I, too, am going through many difficulties at the moment. I am currently working on a humanitarian effort to aid those firghting against a repressive regime.

I also have a ship called the Tantive IV ...so I can travel to many locations to aid you. Although right now I am on a mission of extreme importance, it should be finished soon (all I have to do is pick up a friend of my father's and then I'm on the return trip home!).

Please let me know how I can help. It sounds like this is your most depesperate hour.

I may be your only hope.

Please note that I cannot be directly or indirectly involved as the architect of the whole deal in this transfer because is going to take effect from my head office not from my branch office, because of the nature of this funds.

The reason why I don't want my head office to know that my hand is in this deal is that they will like to be making use of the funds without the Knowledge of the owners and sharing the Profit, with the steps I mapped out, the transfer will not be delay in our bank.

The transfer is bank-to bank and should be made to your chosen foreign account from my head office in Accra. The modalities I have mapped out to actualize the transfer involves the following steps:

Step1: I will replace your full names and address on the entire International Commercial Banks Database as the depositor and the beneficiary of the fund.

Step2: I shall issue a backdated deposit slip of the fund to your name.

Step3: I shall provide you with a draft of an application for transfer that you are going to forward to my Head office in Ghana as all International transfers are carried out from there.

Step4: I shall provide you with the account number of the funds with the above steps;

My head office will immediately carry out the transfer of the fund to your chosen bank account. If you accept to carry on with this transaction, your response would serve as a _go ahead order_ for me to carry out the above listed modalities.

At this medium, I will like to ask that you furnish me with your Full Contact Details, including your full names, complete address Tel/Fax Numbers, to enable me program them on the banks database as the depositor and beneficiary of the fund before I issue a bad-dated deposit slip of the fund in your name.

Dear Mr. Kofi,

Thank the force you responded to me. I now need this money more than ever. My home has been destroyed, my father killed, and I am on the run.

I assure you...I will keep this secret and only between us. I hope nothing is traceable - if the empire finds me, I may suffer the same fate as Alderaan.

My full name: Princess Leia Organa
address: well, my home was destroyed...that might be hard..I am currently traveling to Yavin in a ship piloted by this scruffy looking nerfherder, some farm boy, and a thing that looks like a walking carpet.

Mr. Mensah,

My driod can not process this form as sent in .jpg (of course, my droid also sometimes doesn't understand human behavior, so what ya gonna do?).

Can you please send this form again in .doc?

I also will soon be opening a new account at the Royal Bank of Alderaan - Tatooine Branch. My boyfriend was abducted by a vile gangster and I have to rescue him. Do you want that banks address as well?

Actually, I'm feeling kinda low right now - it's no fun having a frozen boyfriend. And the place I'm traveling to is reported to be a "wretched hive of scum and villany"...or so I've been told.

Any words of encouragement?

If the boyfriend de-thawing thing doesn't work out, ya wanna go get drinks at the cantina. Just saying...as a Princess, I am wealthy and powerful and can really take care of a guy. Plus, I think I'll look real good on a metal bikini...I have a feeling (though not a bad feeling) about this.

Yes, I have heard from the bank. As soon as my droid can configure for printing the form out, I will fill it out and send t bsck to them. They said the account number did not work, but I checked and it seems my droid inputed the wrong number. I have now given the correct account number to my other droid (the shorter, rounder one) and he is much more reliable. In fact, he ha ssaved our skins numerouse times so I anticipate no more problems.

I'm doing pretty good - my boyfriend is acting much more responsible these days and even volunteered to lead a group on a special project I am working on. The bad news is that I found out some more info about my biological family (I was adopted at birth). Turns out I had a twin brother I never new about. He seems real cool but I found out our father is a horrible, horrible person. My brother thinks there is still hope that he will turn back to the good side one day, but I have my doubts. I swear...I need this like a shot in the arm.

I will be sending the new forms to the back shortly. Please keep in contact.

Thanks for sending the forms. They will be filled out by my droid and returned to you shortly. I think my droid made a mistake with the first bank number I sent, so I'm using another droid (the shorter, rounder, more reliable droid) for these new forms. The new number should be correct when I send it to you.

Also, I understand that the bank is an institution and I should be brief when I write to you. At first, it kind of hurt my feelings that you didn't seem to care about my difficulties with my boyfriend, but now I can understand it from your point of view. I'll try to be just business from now on, but please understand that I'm under alot of family stress at the moment and sometimes just need to get my feelings out.

The forms should be filled out and sent by tomorrow.

You have to write a message to the bank and apologise
to them and also make it clearly to them that you are
travelling maybe in one week time that as soon as you
comes back, that you will send your original deposit
slip to them to enable them remit your fund into your
account.

Let be be frank with you, I have been trying to get
the original deposit slip of the fund which is the
only thing holding the fund, it will cost us about
$1,550 Dollars to get the slip on your name. And the
money that is with me is not up to that amount.
Meanwhile, I need $650 Dollars to complete the money
to enable me get the original deposit slip on your
name and send it directly to you to enable you forward
it to the bank
to enable them remit the fund to your account.

I'm glad that everything is sucessfully and I hope as
soon as we complete the money, we will get our fund
and also we will enjoy ourselves you will take your
own share and I will take mine.

Please act fast to send the 650 Dollars to morrow
morning through western union money transfer.

Use my secretary's name: Mr. Prince K. Asare
Address: Accra Ghana west Africa.

Immediately you send it, send me the information to
pick it up.

Rob,

Oh dear. I did not communicate to Luke that I wanted to withdraw. I fear Luke is unwell...this letter doesn't sound like him at all. Luke's really never been the same since Dad cut off his hand. Please cease all communication with Luke as I have not authorized him to have any further dealings with you. Don't believe anything he says...we are seriously considering sending him to the spice mines or having him committed.

Our trip to moneygram is taking a little longer than we thought now that we have this business with Luke to deal with, but I am confident that we will complete it soon.

Oh, I've got a plan for another character to step in...but it will be at the very end (either when I'm bored with him or when he's bored with me Laughing

Do you think he was making "luke" up, to see if you were really still interested?

He might think, "hey, she might be crazy, but I can still get money from her." Laughing

That is really weird.

Anything's possible I guess; but the scammer's IP was from Africa and "Luke's" was from England.

Sounds as if another baiter has intruded into your sandbox. Bad juju. I suspect in future you'll munge out all your email addys to prevent that sort of thing.

Excellent bait, by the way; good read. clapping

Dear sister Leia,

How are you today? I was surprise when I read the last mail of Mr. Luke I was contemplating with me and I don�t think you can instruct him to carry on the transaction without you.

I was waiting to hear from you that is why I did not reply to his email.
I have a reliable mind to complete this transaction with you. Let me cheap this into your mind that we will not suffer and another person will rip it, relax and forget him as you said. Please without delay, you know that we have delay so long kindly send the $650 to enable me complete it and get the original deposit slip which you knows that is the only thing holding our fund.

I don�t think it will take sure a long time to send the money that is why I wanted to believe Mr. Luke in that comment he made.

Please send the money today

Am still waiting for you.

Thanks

Regards

Mr. Robert

Awww, how sweet of him! Its nice to know he has a preference for my fictional character over another fictional charcter...but what exactly does "Let me cheap this into your mind that we will not suffer and another person will rip it" mean??? Confused

Hmmmm, write soonest back to him must Laughing

update: "moneygram" scan sent today Laughing

I still scratching my head at "I was contemplating with me."

Rip equals "reap". They're very big into the biblical sowing and reaping thing.

Oh no, he is very angry now. I wonder what the problem was - I filled out the moneygram fakely correctly Wink

Dear Sister/Brother,

Thanks for the money Gram you sent to me I�m very disappointed on you. I taught am doing this transaction with a responsible human being, but not knowing that you are not sincere on this transaction.

You did not fool me but you fool your self remember that this transaction is over between you and I.

I contacted you on this transaction and I knew how I will revise it.
You feel it was a joke but you have loose your opportunity.

Thanks

Regards

Mr. Robert.

sigh...I should have known something was up when he didn't ask me how my day was. Well, when in doubt - act offended!!!

What? What's wrong? I was assured that I filled out the moneygram correctly? What did I do wrong?

I don't want to miss out on an opportunity - I'm all about opportunites!

Actually, I'm a little insulted! It looks like you are the fool who is missing out on an opportunity - an opportunity for 650 dollars in cold hard cash!!!

That's right, CASH!!! I so want this to be over with that I want to meet you in person, give you the money in cash, and just get this whole thing over with! I am prepared to travel so you just pick a place and time and I'll meet you there! Where do you want to meet? Africa? Norway? Australia? Just let me know because as I stated before I AM A RICH AND POWERFUL PRINCESS!!! I CAN AFFORD TO GO ANYWHERE!

Of course, I will need a photo of you to know what you look like so I can find the right person. I attached a picture of me so you can know what I look like.

Don't miss out on your opportunity!

-Leia

then I attached a photo of Princess Leia

sorry, no metal bikini photo...didn't want to come on too strong...that's for if he ever writes me back.

Update: The princess is threatening to spend her money elsewhere (I sent this today with an attachment of another spam e-mail):

If you don't get back to me soon, I may use my money to invest with Charles Saludo. Let me know...if not, your loss.

Dear Sir/Sister,
Luke Leia.
If you know you will continue this transaction with faithfulness and without childish act let us proceed.

You have to send the money for me to complete it and get the original deposit slip on your name to enable the bank transfer the fund to your account.

Thanks
Regards,
Mr. Robert

But it's not that simple anymore, Bob.

Yes, but I want to meet you in person to give you the money, And I am not Luke. Luke is my brother. I am Leia.

Apparently he now thinks I e-mailed him as Luke. I didn't. However, I did e-mail him as:

So either Mr. Robert doesn't care about being threatened by a Sith Lord or he truly thinks I'm batsh*t crazy...he's probably right Laughing

About two more days until Bob and Leia's one month anniversary of correspondence. I should probably send an e-card Wink

Where is Leia Organa? I will not ask again. Don't be too proud of this correspondence you have with her; the ability to type is insignificant next to the power of the Force. Don't act so surprised, she isn't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to her ship by rebel spies. I have all the e-mail correspondence she has sent you and all you have sent her. I want to know what happened to the plans she sent you! I am beginning to sense that you are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor!

Don't toy with me!

I like your style Leia, very funny. I find scambaiting is great relief from PMT, parking tickets and taxes too...

An ending...a sort of "you've been had, but hey you can still get money switcheroo". It does leave open the possibility of B0B writing back if he's greedy enough.

From the office of:
Dr. Lucy Van P3lt, M.D.
Shady Hills Psychiatric Facility
Atlanta, GA
21210

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been asked to contact you by the parents of my patient, Rachel King. My name is Dr. Lucy Van P3lt and I am a psychiatrist and director of the Shady Hills Psychiatric Facility in Atlana, Georgia.

Ms. King has recently been committed to our facility by her concerned parents, Evan and Amanda. Ms. King has been recently diagnosed with severe delusions and MMCPD (multiple movie character personality disorder). In layman's terms, Ms. King actually believed herself to be the characters of "Princess Leia", "Luke Skywalker" and "Darth Vader" from the Star Wars movie series (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars ). When Ms. King is in these fugue states, she speaks, writes, and even sends e-mails as these characters...all the while truly believing that she is the character. The cause of this condition is unknown at this time, but my team theorizes that it may have been caused by repeated exposure to the Star Wars movies by nerd friends dragging her to see them in college during their re-releases in theatres in the late 1990's.

Naturally, her parents have sought psychiatric help. Unfortunately, Ms. King's condition is so severe that she requires hospitalization for an indefinite period of time.

During this time, her parents are devoted to helping Ms. King get better and wish to solely concentrate on Ms. King and her condition. Therefore, they have signed over power of attorney to me on behalf of Rachel. I am instructed to clear up any and all financial responsibilities and/or debts Ms. King has incurred during her delusional illness as "Princess Leia/Luke Skywalker/Darth Vader". Her parents have also provided me with a list of all e-mails Rachel has sent - your e-mails were among the ones discovered. If you have any outstanding debts with Ms. King, please contact me so that I may arrange payment. Understandably, Ms. King's parents want these matters resolved as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,
Dr. Lucy Van P3lt

Not too many HIPAA rules... only divulging the patient name and the medical condition... Very Happy

Very nice bait... I was looking forward to reading updates... I am willing to put $10 on him contacting the good doctor and asking for that long forgotten debt... Wink
