Over two months ago I was contacted by , looking for ways to transfer $17.3 million in inheritance money. I followed it up with the usual delaying tactics, got passed on to a (I doubt he was feeling good after long) from the security company in London where the "money" was.

Ran them both through a number of modalities, and magic eye forms, before finally deciding to come to London and give them the money in person. Unfortunately, just a few days before I was due to leave for London, my secretary stole the 15,000 pounds I was meant to take with me, but I still managed to scrabble together 3,000 pounds to take with me.

In London we've had all sorts of problems, with my lad splitting in two seemingly (i am pretty sure at least 2 other scammers tried to chop his dolla) and now I'm in hospital with a nasty snake bite.

Be warned, this is a very very long bait - with approximately 260 emails I think. Some parts you might find a little boring, but other parts are pretty hilarious. And I still think there's some life in it yet.

Here's where is stands as of July 12th:

At this point have contacted once again, but after a day or so they haven�t got back to or the Doctor. A few options moving forward:
- makes a miraculous recovery and wants to continue.
- uses up almost all of his remaining money on medical fees but still
wants to go through with things once he�s out of hospital (maybe they�ll
accept 300 pounds?)
- dies, and the focus goes on Luna 100%
- One of the people staying with steps up with some fresh money to
try to get access to the fund.
- The doctor tries to step in and get the money.
Something tells me there�s a bit of life in this yet.

49 views but no replies. I'm curious if anyone's made it through to the end of this?

^^ Thanks. I was just curious whether anyone had read the whole bait more than anything else. I've kind of lost Phil & James at the moment on my main character, I think they may have twigged on the whole hospital story.

Still going strong with the other character though, more trips to London coming soon as well.

Marathon is right. It took me about 90 minutes to get through the whole thing.

My favorite part is the following IM exchange (page 110):
M4lf0y_r0n4Id: so you are confident that you are the real phil Ling00d then?
Ling00d1960: yes 100% sure

Ha!

Also, I love the many, many times you drop the phrase "feeling good" ("Phil Lingood"). It's like th elephant in the room that no-one wishes to address.

The other thing that really caught my eye was the corporate logo they used for the Dan Delivery & Security Services front company - a basketball in flames. WTF?

Any updates since 7/12?

is now in England and has been carefully avoiding them so far. They haven't got back to Ronald at all which is a bit sad, but oddly Phil tried to access his just last night once again, although he didn't answer any questions.

I will post Luna's escapades once they have been completed, although if I work things well there should still be a good amount of mileage left in her, as it's taken about 3 days in London now before she's even got to the MoneyGram.

Next it'll be forms, again, more forms, and then I'll arrange to "meet" with them. All from the other side of the world.
