I've never received a scam email like this one; has anyone else?

This is one email that I want to handle very, very carefully.

I'll put Mr. Sylvanius' email in the Surplus email section so others might enjoy 'working' with him. Laughing

Pay?

Hmm, I wonder what the advance fee for that payment is.

Lord alone knows!

I do want to come up with something original for this guy; off to the scambaiting tips section!

I get those a lot. It�s a recovery scam. Bait him. Tell his you lost $16,000.00 to UB. Victims that have already paid have more credibly to the lads.

KD do tattoos have you in a bad mood Laughing

Many victims receive this kind of letter, usually from the same lad who wants to make extra sure he's bled them dry.

Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 10:35 pm

Yup, even more insidious than the usual because these usually deliberately target people who have paid. The lads figure they're easy marks since they've been proven to pay in the past. Once victims realize they've been scammed they are understandably bitter and seek retribution. Recovery scams that promise to get their money back and arrest the perpetrators often lure victims right back into the trap for another round of payments. It's revolting. Evil or Very Mad

Welcome Mossie.

I hope you don't mind you calling you that?

Anyway, I enjoyed your lad's fundamental grasp of the English language...which was nice.

As you probably know if you've read the stickies and the other forums we never bow down the to lads demands, that is their job. Laughing

BTW. A word of warning, watch out for the diplomat with the YELLOW PAPER TAG and, more importantly, for future reference, the man who has no name. You have been warned. Shocked

Yet another twist on advance fee fraud. I have been baiting a lad who intitially was using this modality. He is going to claim that he is a government official and bring in a banker into the mix or that he is the banker representing the bank responsible to distribute the payments to the victims. Then they will ask for a fee for paperwork or bank fees to disburse the funds, of course to be paid thru WU or MG.............

He wants a passport... I hope you send him a 3 MB dll file renamed to My Passport.jpg Smile

It's a recovery scam alright. It targets past victims of 419 scams. It's sad that victims lost money the first time... now this leech wants them to lose money again.

Definitely kick his @ss.

Trust me, Yellow Tags are not cheap these days.

Man, these scams are some of the absolute meanest. Talk about kicking someone when they're down.

Fortunately, the lads who run these scams are so overconfident that they usually bait very well.

~Anti-419,

This is the first email I've seen of this sort, and I will definitely kick this guy's @ss.

Isn't it the worst? Trying to re-scam somebody?!

~Fat Old Catt,

I am not sure if they are primarily narcissistic or greedy, or an even split of the two. That's why I think we can get away with the things we do when we bait these idiots.
