After reading the hilarious baits on here I had tried many times to do something funny that would be worthy of posting but my inexperience and lack of patients always resulted in no bites and nothing to really hurt them. So I changed my attack, decided that I would write no more then a paragraph in any reply, I had not objective other then closing bank accounts on this bait and any documents that I would send would all be pure and simple photo shopping. In the past I was wasting more of my own time then theirs so it is time to turn the tables.
What follows is not a "hall of fame" bait but when I got an email in my catcher account about a Malaysian based scam (I'm an expat living in Malaysia) I couldn't resist it. It didn't last long at all only a month but I killed 2 bank accounts and received several calls to the K7 number (i.e. international calls at their cost).

You all know the basic script of the scam so I've removed many of the emails to shorten it into something easy to read.

Dear Ben Willard ,

I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we never met before. I am the FOREIGN REMITTANCE MANAGER of G.T.F Bank of ASIA, I Hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.

I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($3.5 million) Three Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars immediately to your account. The money has been dormant (in-active) for 4 years in our Bank here without any body coming for it.

I want to release the money to you as the nearest person to our deceased customer (the owner of the account) who died a long with his supposed next of kin in air crash since August 2004.

I don't want the money to go into our Bank treasury as an abandoned fund, so this is the reason why I contacted you, so that my Bank will release the money to you as the nearest person to the deceased cutomer. Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send you full details on how the business will be executed and also note that you will have 40% of the above mentioned amount if you agree to help me execute this business.
Thanks and waiting for your urgent response,

Best Regards

instructed me to contact you.
Regards,
Benjamin Willard

I tried calling the number from my work phone here in Malaysia, which does not display caller info, pretending to be a friend of my character who lives here.

The lawyers number doesn't work so I called Dr Mass and surprise he is not a Malaysian but he does know more then the average tourist so I don't push it too far and end the call telling him to send my character the lawyers phone number that works, It is never sent.

Mean while the Barristerplays dumb for a while pretending he knows nothing about what I'm talking and in the end I complain to Dr Mass that his lawyer is stupid and not willing to help. To this he gives me a document to forward to the lawyer. Which I do.

Wow, its going to cost me to have the Barristers help!!Then as usual the normal emails about supplying your details and method of payment follow, you have seen them all before so I won't bother putting it in. I give him all the info he wants except a scan of my ID which doesn't seem to bother him.

a few days later assuming the account is closed I complain to the barrister that the bank is not allowing the transfer as there is something wrong with the account details I provided. He says there is nothing wrong but hours later (after he checks for himself) he sends me another account.

Alan get these details and it starts to feel like I'm going to be shutting down lots of accounts but in the end it is just two.

my last email complained that I'm having the same issues again with his account, his reply was

@atallman - Closing two bank accounts in a bait is a very good result. I'm sure it hurt him badly. Very Happy

You could try to deliver the cash in person (I'm thinking safari here), but you will have to build up his trust again.
Just act like a victim that doesn't know what is going on with the transfers, and still act interested in the transaction. You need his money badly, for whatever reason you can make up. Good luck keeping him on the hook. If you can't get a safari, maybe you can later convince him to give you a third account. Wink

Rebaiting the same lad is always fun, too. He may just have access to other accounts, too.

I did try to keep it alive but both characters stopped dealing with me and even admitted they were busy scamming someone else Evil or Very Mad

Following this we insulted each other for a while until I got bored of it.
