Nope. Look almost something like a baiter would ask to put their lad under severe pressure.

And it looks like you've got yourself an OfficeLive email-only domain to kill.

Oh, the flags, the flags! Very Happy

Yes - I sent it back to the lad & asked him to fill it in for me as I didn't really know the dead bloke. Laughing

I've had that sort of thing from lads before. Let me guess... it's from the second lad-character right? IMHO, this is one of those little tricks to see how compliant you are. What you're supposed to do is contact the first lad (the lawyer / widow / orphan you first responded to) and ask them these questions, then send the answers to the 2nd lad. You'll often be asked to include a copy of whatever ID you can provide too.

A smarter lad will do all this before mentioning any fees, to sort of soften you up a little before mentioning WU transfers. Build the relationship up a little, gain a little trust, then go in for the kill! It's kind of like what we do to them, except we're not goat-blowing lowlife criminals and they are.

In one of my first baits the lad sent me a whole bunch of forms that I couldn't have possibly filled out if I'd wanted to. I did the same thing that was previously mentioned, had the lad do it for me.

They're really helpful like that. Wink

I have had the same form sent to me a few times now, but just ignored it, they can fill out their own forms if they want their cut

This is fun to do.

Lad one pretends to be the bank insider that helps you.
He wants you to keep this deal a TOTAL secret, even from the bank that employs him.

Lad 2 pretends to be the REAL "by the rulebook" banker.
Lad 2 sends you these questions.

Simply reply to Lad 2 that you didn't know this dead guy.
You cannot possible answer those questions.
You were approached by his colleague to steal the money from the bank by pretending to be a relative. Ask Lad 2 to send the questions to Lad 1 since he knows all the answers.

Then wait for Lad 1 to erupt on his next mail to you... Laughing

<br>I would send the questions to Lad 1 to complete on your behalf, as you don't know the answers. Assuming he complies, send his response to Lad 2 as a large renamed .dll file attachment - for security reasons. This is especially satisfying if both lads are one in the same. Twisted Evil

Complain as many times as possible that you can't open the attachment, of course. It's interesting to see how long that game can go on before the requirement is dropped.

I got a list of questions as part of an ordinary NOK scam.

Quote:

If yes, state his residential address in this country ?9) Was the deceased a member of any organization registered in this country?10)Any other valid information about the deceased will be helpful in your approval as his next of Kin.

And yes, that was how it was formatted!

I asked the Lawyer Lad for the answers and was sent this:

. Cool

Better formatting - but the answer to question 10 is a real head-scratcher...

And this is supposed to be from a bank?! A clear copy and paste from WU if ever there was one :-$

You could have a bit of fun with this one though, just giving the question (forget to add an answer) to your lad to include on the forms
- What is PI to 10 decimal places?
- When was the last time?
- Which Oxford college are you a fellow of?
- Why is man on this planet?
- Are morals absolute?
