I got a scam letter in my characters box the other day, just one, so I thought I would give him a go. I already had one going (both seem to be from the same I.P. aswell) so I tried to combine them in some way to see what would happen. Nothing. I'm interested in some ideas as to where to take this, I'm not sure yet.

Dear Dr. L@py D@n,

This sounds interesting but does it have anything to do with the package I am expecting? A Dr. @nthony D. Willi@ms has contacted me from your country about a package I am to receive. I was just wondering if he contacted someone to change the method of arrival.

Sincerely,
1ngle K0mc0ff

Unfortunately he stuck to his script.

Now in my fortune they decided to act as a real company, @ttachmate, at least I think its real. So thinking i'm a savvy person I noticed they had a South African address so why not send the money there! Surely they can put it through the right channels.

I have decided to accept your offer and have sent the sum of $195 to @ttachmate and made the check payable to the ATM Payment Dept. You should have the money within a few days. How do I receive the ATM card?

Sincerely,
1ngle K0mc0ff

Oh, you wanted it through WU?

[Still haven't used that code... pesky thing that is anyway.]

So I responded, just a tad annoyed

Dear you, [Still dont care about his name Very Happy

Who said anything about Western Union? Your a professional company correct? I was looking at your website (http://[email protected]/) and sent the money to your company:
@ttachmate South Africa
First Floor
Block F, Riso House
Wedgewood Office Park
3 Muswell Road South
Bryanston
SOUTH AFRICA
T: (27) 11 700 4250
F: (27) 11 700 4260
SouthAfrica@@ttachmate(dot)com

This was your closest address so I sent the check there and made a note to be payable to ATM Payment Department. It should arrive any day now. Now please could I get some information on the ATM card?

Sincerely,
1ngle K0mc0ff

Note: I covered the company name aswell, they seem to be an innocent bystander here, they spell it with an A not an @ of course.

And thats where it stands today. Anyone have any ideas on where I should take this? Ideas may change with the next e-mail, due in a few hours. Wink

But I just wanted to mess with this guy and give myself a few laughs as I work on a few other baits.
