In case you missed that, he is using the continental convention of using a full stop to delimit the thousands. I misunderstand

Pleas esend a postal address for my personal cheque for �1.50

You might expect the lad to notice I am not offering the same amount that he is asking for, but he doesn't.

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

Do you want my postal address?

I wrote:

yes

Bonlotto wrote:

ok you can send it to my secretary at

ADAMS MAGAJI

OK BYE

I wrote:

Who do I make the cheque out to? You, your secretary or Bonolotto?

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

YOUR fee should not be paid by cheque ok,it should be pais by western union or by transfer ok.I gave you the postal address in case if you have any necessary document to send to me ok.Please you are ready to send your fee,you can let me know so that I will provide to you the right name or the right account number to which you eill pay into ok

bye

Has he got a clue yet?

I wrote:

It seems stupid to pay only �1.50 by either of those two methods. The
bank charges will be ten times that amount.

Maybe he has

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

I don`t understand what you mean by paying �1.50 is it y7our income tax or your processaing fee??

Thanks

I wrote:

I do not know what the fee is. You told me:

No, but he knows how it's supposed to be paid.

Imagine that this 2x4 was a clue. If I beat you over the head with it, will it penetrate?

I wrote:

I went to Western union today and they asked for �10.00 just to send �1.50

I refuse to waste that much money. Please find some other way for me to pay.

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

You are making a mistake your fee is 1.500 euros ok

bye!!

I wrote:

That is what I said: 1.500 one and a half Euros. Why do you put an extra zero?

Ooh! Insults! But still no indication that he has any idea what I am talking about.

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

You are surposed to know how to read very well.I told from the beginning that it is 1.500 euros equivalent.Please send it today to this name so that you will have your fund into your account ok

I wrote:

1.500

One point five zero zero zero.

One point five is one and a half

One and a half Euros

What are you talking about?

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

The processing fee is 1.500 euros ok

bye!!

I wrote:

Then why did you tell me I made a mistake saying the fee was one and a
half Euros?

Incredibley, he actually seems to agree that the fees are one and a half Euros. I don't think this lad even knows what 1.500 means.

Bonlotto wrote:

I wrote:

I will not send one and a half Euros through Westerrn Union. They will
take another ten Euros for the fees. That is stupid.

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

Your processing fe is 1.500 euros if you like you send if you don`t like you forget about it

bye!!

I wrote:

I don't understand. You keep on implying that the fee is not one and a
half Euros, but you only tell me the same thing each time. We seem to
be at an impasse. I am sure that you cannot mean me to send you one
Euro and fifty cents by Western Union; that would be stupid.

Look this is getting us nowhere. Tell me what the fees are in words.
Do not write "1.500" again I am getting sick of seeing it. Write it
out in words.

At long last! I wonder if he had to get his oga to do this.

Bonlotto wrote:

Hello,

Your fee is one thousand five hundred euros(1.500 euros)

bye

I wrote:

I see. Why did you not say that to begin with? One thousand five
hundred is a good deal of money. Allow me a couple of days to find it.

Number of issues resolved: 1
Total elapsed time: exactly one month

May not be much to it but it's a beautiful way to waste a lad's time.

That...was a very nice read indeed. Laughing

Well done! I think you have a wonderful opportunity here to "educate" this lad into what other punctuation marks he should use when it comes to representing amounts in Euros: eg such as how: �'0�5 is a lot of money... Wink
