Hi there,

I have been baiting this lad for a while now. It all started when I recieved his "love" mail. In the mails that followed, he never mentioned it again. (Neighter did I)
Here is the bait as it is right now. If you have any suggestions, they are more then welcome.

I hope you enjoy reading it. Please note that my English might not always be as good as yours, since it is not my native language.

Ahoy,
Umagon

Dear Mr.Hunter

I recieved the verification form from the bank this afternoon.
The form is a bit unclear for me. My father is the one who handles the banking-business in our family.
Since I want to keep this deal between us, I was hoping you could explain something to me.

I was filling in the form, but then I stumbled accross the "official use" part of the form.
The bank wants my confirmation declaration. Can you please tell me where I might find this?

With kind regards,
Jonathan Archer

Dear Mr. Lawrence,

Please check the attached file for the requested documents. I feld very sad when I saw the death sertificate again.
I am a very mortal man, and it did hurt my feelings.

I hope we can clear this transaction soon.

My money seems to have disappeared. The initial $2.700.000 is down to $2.70. Well, the financial crisis is affecting everyone after all.

Mr. Jonathan Archer

You are wasting time this is the check of bank of America we just send to one of our client in New York Ms Audrey Dennis. This is out of the banking teams rule and regulation, but just to remove doubt in your mind this is real, I could have send you the contact of this client but is out of banking system sure you understand.

You are the one delaying your ($2.7us dollars) right now. Once we receive those outstanding documents from lawyer we will send you're the bank of America check or transfer to your account of choice within 1 day so you are the one wasting time we carry out our service without any benefit of doubt,You lawyer just send one of the document we need the outstanding

The bank then attaches a Bank of America check. It is no longer valid, and is adressed to a guy named Dennis Audrey. It looks like this cheque got send to the wrong "victim". The file is named:

That is all for now. The bank is STILL asking for more documents and frankly I am getting tired of them asking. Should I slap them for being so incompetent?

Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2009 5:42 pm

I like these documents

Quote:

(4) Ireland Revue Document
(5) Tax Clarence

This is the business where they want you to send documents from one Lad to another. I usually go into awkward mode, and say things like

Quote:

How can I produce a police report for someone who died abroad. Do you want me to report his death to the San Francisco PD ? You mentioned that I needed to get a document from Ireland. Please tell me who to contact over there, and who is Clarence ?

That maybe too much piff taking in one mail, so probably better to do the police report question only, and leave the rest for later Very Happy

When you make life awkward, always tell them how excited you are about this, and that you value you their help and guidance - also that you have some great ideas of what to do with the money and send a picture of your dog and girlfriend and ask him to send you pictures.

Just pick some pictures off the web, maybe off a TV show - The Brady Bunch or something like that.

It's not just business. You want him to believe you are hooked and by trusting him with your pics you are showing how much you trust and like him. Also leads to opportunities for more fun and games.

It's great fun if you keep leading him off track from his scam, but always pledging your complete desire to co-operate with him.

It's a mind game. Think laterally. Pat him on the head a lot. Very Happy
