Got the usual whatever scam on my 'new' gmail account a few days ago.

So I decided to start a church... the First Baptist Barngrille (Bar and grill) and we desperately need money for rennovations. I sent a more or less short, standard reply and was put into contact with her bank (yea, big shock) who sent me a PDF form to fill out. I stalled for time claiming Roy (my fellow pastor) spilled beer on the printer and will need a few days for it to dry out.

Any good ideas on where I should take it from here? Keeping in tune with a US "southern redneck" theme.. that's more or less the only RL info (that i'm a redneck) she's getting from me.

Greetings in the name of God,

Please let this not sound strange to you, for my only surviving lawyer who
would have done this died early this year.
To that effect, I prayed and searched and got your email id from your
country's Christian guestbook. My real names are omitted
from United Kingdom , but people who knew used to call me 'omitted-crackwhore anyway" I am 58
years old. For a long time, I am diagnosed with cancer of the breast which
is presently almost affecting my sensory organs. From all indication my
conditions is really deteriorating and getting worse. It is quite obvious
that, according to my doctors they have advised me that I may not live for
the next few months, this is because my ill-stage has gotten to a very bad
state.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home and got married to a man
who was my late husband for twenty years of childless. My husband died in
a fatal motor accident, before his death we were true Christians. Since
his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all our assets and deposited
the sum of US$1.6 million with a bank which is still present with the bank
and the management of the bank notified me last week to come forward and
receive the money because its account has been dormant for so long or I
should rather issue a letter of authorization to someone to receive it on
my behalf since I can not come over there personally because of the
condition of my health. As I am writing this letter to you, I am using my
14 inch laptop computer in a hospital here in Switzerland where I have
been undergoing treatment for cancer. I have completely lost the ability
to talk. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested in any
organization of your choic! and distributed each year amon
I want you as God fearing person, to also use this money to fund churches,
orphanages and widows. I took this decision, before I rest in peace
because my time will soon be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the Bank. I will also issue you a Letter of
Authorization that will prove you as the new beneficiary of my Estate
fund.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here by
replying to me through this email (omitted)
Waiting to hear from you soon

Yours truly,
-omitted-

Seeing as this is your first bait, take it straight... just stall and think of excuses for not filling out their forms or answering their questions...

The simple guidelines are:
xStall
xIf anything goes wrong, it's his (hardware's) fault
xStall
xGet him to explain obvious stuff to you
xStall
xStall some more
xGet him to fill in some useless form before you're willing to fill out any of his
xIf he's rude, there's the official apology form, to show he's really sorry
xStall
xComputers break down, they just do
xAttachments get corrupted, they just do
xStall
xYou still can't open that attachment
xWhat form did you want me to fill out again?

xget creative Wink

If you feel like you can take some more than that, try initiating him in TWAT or something. Check eater university for some more info and great tutorials

EDIT: When you finally get to the Western Union stage, there's the mtcn-secure site, which makes him click boxes without making any progress. There's not a single situation in which it's not funny to see the lad click and click and click.

LOL... that translator is so far off but funny nonetheless. I honestly hope for a phone conversation with my scammer, they're in for quite a southern surprise...

Oh goody..I have a vague idea for these and am collecting the "cancer.......and......." emails.

This is the first "sensory organs" I've seen affected. Well, "almost" affected. What a treat. I was getting tired of the "blood pressure" and "stroke problems".

I think it's a baiters duty to re-educate scammers that peddle this type of scam with some more up to date medical myths.

Like - three tespoons of cod liver oil taken immediately after each meal will prevent you getting throat cancer (and give you something better to do that spending their spare time in the internet cafe Twisted Evil

) because you don't find Japanese with it. Though why the Japanese are the gold standad in this matter I don't know (no offence to any Japanese people - but you might as well say Eskimos don't get AIDS so eat plenty of seal blubber).

I have a baiting character - Dr Venkman (Bill Murray) - and he is on hand to provide medical guidance to Lads at any time. He aims to make sure Lads have hair trigger bowel habits. Laughing

Sorry for the late update, been exchanging a few customary bland emails with info. My business is located at a certain address and is a large building with a dome type roof... the exact address of the Astr0dome, lol.

Anyway I did get this today, and P3dr0 is not happy. He wants it redesigned.

Well it's pretty much gone all down the crapper. I'll have to contain my redneck temper next time. As you can see I tried maintaining proper 'yankee' english for a while.

Pretty much it came down to them asking $400 for an ATM card. I tried to get an invoice out of them for the amount, and the card, and this is what transpired.

Me=blue
them=red
r0s3mary=orange

I'm sorry I cannot provide banking info as we currently do not use banks due to the economic crisis gripping our nation. we have withdrawn the church's funds and they are kept in a safe in our office. I can however provide a scan copy of the identity once my scanner is fixed.

In regards to your request wright now will have to take exchange to this request by puting this funds into an ATM card and deliverred it to your nominated home address, its going to cost you $400.00 to do that inrespect of the new development by the banking institution. You have to furnish us you present address and direct phone number. Your name in full. [color=blue]blah blah blah

God bless
Omitted.[/color]

$400 for an ATM card? Please explain in detail the reason of these fees. Why should I beleive such fees? Please I implore you to email me with a scanned copy of actual bank documentation of invoice explaining these fees. I am wealthy but did not get wealthy by paying $400 everytime someone said to do so.

No response

Thank you for wasting my time. Your lack of response is very disrespectful. I am terminating all business dealing with you and the $400 MoneyGram I had my assistant purchase. Good day.

Am sorry if i waisted your time in getting back to you, as you know we have other things in hand in times of transfer we where busy in the preperation of exchange of the funds into an ATM card with your name, find attached a scan copy of the ATM card which is loaded with your funds we also let MRS. blah know about this AND was waiting for her respond that was the delayment of the respond to your letter we apologised for any inconvinency this may have cost you. The reason why you where ask to make payment of $400 is due to the exchange of the transfer into an ATM card. You can send the fund to our account officer and send down the informations for payment confirmation.

Money Gram Info.

Receivers Name: @ustin$$M@rtins
Text Question: God$Save$
Text Answer: R0s3mar3.

Send down here the refrence # number and senders name so that we can be able to delivere the card along with the pin number.

We await your rgent response to this matter.

Thank you but I still need a detailed invoice of why I am to pay such fees.$00 just to transfer an ATM card? I went to MY bank YESTERDAY and got a BRAND NEW ATM card for FREE. So please explain in a detailed invoice the reason for a $400 charge. I will GLADLY pay as long as it is sufficiently explained. I am the sole capital providor for my church and cannot risk my fundings to unexplained UNDOCUMENTED expenses.

Also, can you pick a new design on the card? Around here that animal would arouse suspicion at the bank or whereveer I used the card. Since it is a church it will be used for, I'd like it to show Jesus holding a cross with "FB BARNGRILLE" at the top.

I do not know what you want to use the funds for or what you are planning to make use of it for, that is our ATM card from our banking institution, and will have being giving out ATM card like that with our bank logo on it. As for the reason why the payment of $400 occurs was do to the exchange of the money to be loaded into an ATM card they have to be a change in every DOCUMENTATIONS in respect of this transaction. Also the cost of delivery to your nominated home address its included to that effect I believe you can find it easy to understand.

All I want is this funds should get to the rightful person who Mrs. blah directed to us which is you, for the ATM card and wishes and logo you want on it cannot be changed if the card gets to you can withdraw all the funds in it and have it save in the church save like you said. For me the funds its save in the ATM card you can provide us with your direct tell for more and easier communications.

Forget it. You keep jerking around and won't send me a proper invoice and insist I pay $400 without knowing exactly why. I don't just PAY $400 everytime someone says PAY NOW. I'm not stupid. You give me an invoice and you might get the $400 Western Union I have sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Until then, we have nothing to discuss.

Also the change of the card was just a request, since it cannot be changed I will live with it.

Kindly open the PDF file and get access to the fund balance in our gateway saver.

PDF File was a joke, a halfass written letter with a username and password to their bank site. I decided not to visit it.

Quit bullshitting me. I don't want any "gateway access" or whatever you are trying to fool me with. I WANT A PROPER INVOICE! Until you can provide one, the $400 check will remain on my desk. If I do not get an invoice by monday, I will get a refund and terminate all communication with you. Can't you people do anything right? You want to send me millions of dollars but can't properly prepare an invoice? I am becoming suspicious of this seemingly shady deal.

My dear Friend Please terminate the check and please dont email us again because you sound so rude, every documentation about this transaction is here with us even the DEPOSIT SLIP. i do not know any invoice you are talking about you do not both a goods from us i do not know where an invoice is attached in a transfer except you want to teach me my job. My advise to you is that you return the check on your desk and tell Mrs. blah that you do not wish to receive the money on her behalf anymore.

I try showing you your account balance and you said am bullshitting you ooh, We can not scan any document to you through internet for security reasons if you are not okay with our law you can as well quit sending us mails, we have ask for your information right from start but you do not provide any to this department how are we sure you are genue you are the person that we should look into if you are really from rosemary. You do not know me and who i am and you talk to me the way you like i think we should put a stop to this transaction because am not happy with your emails to my office.

Hey Hoss, I done told you I'll help you any way possible as long as you provide an INVOICE. I don't give a damn about the laws in your country, the money is coming to AMERICA. In America, EVERY transaction over 10,000 USD must be documented. Google it. Documented means, hello, invoice! It doesn't have to be anything fancy, hell, a letterhead with your bank's name on it, the transaction account number, from who it is to who will receive it, and the balance. I'm not asking you to perform rocket science here. Hell, setting up that website was more complicated than what I'm asking.

And why would I send ALL my info over to someone who can't even provide a simple invoice? Are you mad? I don't even have a name to go with "0c3anic" bank as you have not even signed your emails properly. You have most of my info, the only thing I've left off is a phone number. And if you can't even email me an invoice, I sure as hell don't want you calling me.

And sent to Rosemary

I apologize as it appears I will not be able to complete the transaction as requested. Under American financial laws, all transactions over $10,000 USD must be documented with an invoice showing important information beyond the scope of this email. I apologize for your bank's incompetance. If you decide to choose a different bank, we can still do business. Again, God bless you. But not that 0c3anic Bank. May they burn in hell.

Some you win, some you lose - and the important thing is you got him off script talking about invoices etc - wasting time and effort.

You could probably rescue it with a short apologetic note and suggesting you could get by with a receipt - if they could just full fill out the attached (missing/corrupted/etc) receipt form then your boss says that'll do for payments of upto $1000. See if he picks up on the $1000 by asking if you can pay any delivery charges at the same time to reduce paperwork. Eat humble pie, and slowly turn the heat back up under them...

I reckon they just don like us folk down here.

Yea, it was all good fun. I've sinced moved on to another bait, the religious aspect really limited my creativity (couldn't start the redneck vigilante violence from the start since I was a man of God...).

I should probably print a $400 WU receipt and take a picture of one of my redneck buddies burning it while flipping them the finger.
