Most of the scammers that you hear of have terrible spelling, grammar, and general grasp of the English language, not to mention a single digit IQ.

I ask because one the baits I'm in the middle of at the moment is perhaps the most "professional" I've come across. Granted, the general idea of the scam is hardly inventive (its your typical lottery scam), but the Grammar and Spelling is spot on and they have supplied UK based telephone and fax numbers.

I'm about 2 weeks into this one now, but I could definitely see some people falling for this, so I'm going to make sure I run these Mugu's into the ground.

get them off script and then decide if their English is still as good.

They are notoriously difficult to get off script, but it can be done. Ask lots of questions, and advice on how to spend your share of the money.

Best lad I have come across is H3nry H1ll. Speaks English with a strong American accent, warned me in his first call about all the scams out there in Nigeria etc.

Would call me up to 20 times a day to see how things were going. In two weeks he must have spent 10 hours on the phone to me.

Professional- oh yeah. One day he told me his wife wasn't feeling too good. Next day she'd died. Day after that he buries her and on his way back from the funeral he calls me to see whether I have made the payment yet!!

The most professional lad I have baited is "Ekene" but he was also the most gullible and gave the good people here many many laughs over the eighteen months I baited him.

I had him off script for nearly all of those 18 months, but his english is second to none. Despite numerous moneygram and western union trips and a couple of safaris, he always seemed to come up with a long winded mail to keep the maga on the hook (or so he thought). He also was not short of contacts, with at least ten people to pick up money who provided ID, and four of those IDs he provided were definately genuine nigerian passports, about ten phone numbers in nigeria, four in the U.K and two in Spain and Holland, he definately had contacts. He was also a paperwork machine!

Here is an example of one of his long winded replies, which was off script because his maga was now paying Usman Bello's gang instead of his gang Laughing

The esteemed Dr. T0m B3ll0. I've been "working with" him for about 6 weeks.

It took him 5 weeks to get around to mentioning how much money it would cost me to get the payola, and he did it through his "barrister".
Most lads I've baited are talking "your cost" after 5 or 6 emails.

He makes a few slips, like losing his "Dr." in subsequent emails, and he loves $25 words where a $0.05 will do, which after a while sounds like a line of s**t.
I'm sure he fancies himself as "quite a slick fellow"
