It have been baiting a lad for four months now and I think it is getting near time to send him his money. Any advice on the types of mistakes I can make on a WU transfer that would allow me to appear sincere but inept would be appreciated.

The lad thinks I am a reverend at a small church with missionaries spread throughout Africa. My goal has been to drag this out as long as possible while still appearing genuinely interested. Hopefully, my apparent sincerety and the length of time we have been interacting will get him on the road.

Can't find one
Don't understand the process
Fill the forms in wrongly
Scan of the receipt is really a renamed .dll
Link to the receipt
have a look through eater for some of the 'broken download' tools
Transpose some digits in the MTCN (those 1's an 7's get confusing)
9-digit MTCN
etc...

A few I have used..

Had limited time available at WU, long slow line due to computer problems.
Local town celebration caused WU to close early, didn't realize until it was too late..
Got to WU and the sheet with the mugu's information I needed had been lost

I usually come back and complain about the incredibly invasive forms that WU was asking me to fill out.
The lad will usually tell you to go back and fill out the forms. You then come back and tell him that BOTH of you have to fill out the forms etc.

After using some delay tactics I always enjoy making little errors on the form, such as using the lad's working name instead of the receiver name they give you. I also like to mix up the sender and receiver's names on the form. Little absent-minded mistakes like this drive some lads batty, and after several attempts you could then say that all of your tries have made it so WU requires you to use M7CN S3CURE, or another similar modality.

Hope these and the above suggestions brighten your lad's day Wink

I've always preferred blaming a third party (secretary, wife, lover, etc) for not giving the correct number.

The false attachment email works well, as does just insisting that you have provided the information previously.

Bulgaria and Nigeria sound very similar to the cashier when the Western Union office is so noisy. So do Nigeria and Niger.

I like M7CN S3CUR3

Send one to yourself to see how it works --

Then send one with your e-mail in both e-mail boxes so you can get a copy of what is forwarded to your lad that you can attach your receipt to -- in the official looking letter you get, it does say to "forward" the mail to the lad...

Tell them you found out your state, by law, went to this method and soon all states will require it due to all the fraud...

There is no way around it, the WU agents computer can't even get the number - it's generated at the time of completion of the method...

There is a good thread on using it, but I don't know where it is...

A sender's name with a strange accented character can work well.

"I sent my assistant Bjorn Ericson to send the money, The "o" in Bjorn is the one with the little circle over it. I don't know how to get them on this computer."

That will get him down the the WU store at least, since he will assume that it is his inability to get the sender's name right that makes the transaction show up as unknown on the website.
