Well, that's not true. I am often rude to Lads. But this one's sudden attack of pusillanimity had me slightly miffed.

, leukemia sufferer, wants to give $3.2 million to give to charity (though as a devout Aesir worshipper, she won't sponsor missionaries). However, things went slightly awry over the question of ID.

Quote:

I want you to know that a valid means of identification if a key factor to the success of this transfer. You will need to present a valid means of identification before the consignment can be released to you on arrival, the vault officials must have this Id before hand to verify before release.

Quote:

I checked my paperwork and found a copy of the agreement I signed in 2002. It states that making any copy of my passport is an offence. I'm sorry.

After a week of silence...

Quote:

I was hoping for at least a reply. I'm sorry that I can't do as you said, but facts are facts.
I can offer an alternative - suppose I sent you my passport number? You can verify it with the Australian embassy.

What came back had a hint of a new modality:

Quote:

i got the information from the vault officials. They said that their standard procedure for delivery high valued assets is that i copy of the receivers ID must be provide to them for comparison at the point of delivery before the package is exchanged. They have however agreed to our suggestion of going to the Australian Embassy to confirm your identity but they insist that the administrative cost for doing this most be provided before hand. They further explained that only an attorney will be in the position to collect the necessary information about you in the Australian Embassy in Spain, therefore you are expected to pay the legal consultation/administrative cost of 300 Euro for this to be carried out. I will be expecting to hear from you soon, if otherwise you will still have to provide me with your ID to supply them in order to follow their standard procedure.

Interesting!

Quote:

I understand what they want. It still doesn't create an ID out of thin air!
My passport number is . Send me a bill when they're done. Are you OK?

Quote:

to tell you the truth i never thought you would choose to pay for what we already have solution to. Since you have your passport number that means you have your international passport, I would suggest that you just send a scanned copy instead. It very difficult to understand why you will choose a bill instead of just sending a copy of your passport in order to follow up there normal procedure. There process will not produce an idea for the thin air as you said but as i was told relevant information as to your identity will be gotten from you embassy in Spain by there attorney. Think about this and get back to me, to me it is not wise.

[emphasis added]

WTF? He's just gone back on his whole new modality! This is just weird.

So Cammy replies:

I don't want to be rude to a man in your condition, but f*ck me - why are you being such a boofhead? I never said I didn't have a passport! What I did say was that making any sort of copy of my passport is illegal, and that stands... Taking my number and having it verified was your idea, for the love of Freyja! I don't know why you're getting cold feet all of a sudden. Care to explain?

Excellent comeback. The mugu will most likely take this and continue with the scam.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter! Very Happy

Excellent Yastreb! I love when a lad changes his mind. It's likely that you're messing him up, you've distracted him from his normal routine. Very Happy

Yastreb, nicely done! The whole thing was his idea!

@Yastreb I hear on this one. I just had to do the same thing with my Togo barrister. I think they try so hard to fake being a legal person that they loose track and confuse themselves. Confused
