Hello I'm New here! Joined: 25 Mar 2009 Posts: 1

Hello guys.

So i've been lurking around the forums for abit just to read and laugh on the stories.

I've recently encountered a scammer myself.
My good friend of mine got her msn account hacked and is now in control of a scammer. Email has been sent to everyone on her contact list and I have a copy of it. So I decided to try play along myself and here is the dialogue.

Have to read from bottom up sorry.

Mod edit - edited to remove yours and your friends hacked email addreses - SP

will prefer to pay the money in cash because I have received lots of embarrassment from the hotel management.It is only after I have settled my bills that I can be given a receipt. The name of the hotel is caslte marina park hotel.
Pls help me send the money through western union.

Hey Lucy.

I'll help you pay the full amount easy. You've been a good friend to me all this time.
So which hotel are you staying at at the moment?

Send me the receipt for the bill and I'll pay for it with credit card.
Are you ok with air ticket? I'm really worried.

Send me some photos from your trip, is your sister with you?

I've been really busy with clients, sigh.

I have most of my valuable items which I traveled with like my

to sort out the bills I'm owing at the hotel so that I can
start preparing to return home. The bill amounts to 800 pounds.

Pls, I want you to loan me this money to enable me settle this
bills. I promise I'll Refund the money back to you as soon as i return.
I know I could count on you that is why i am contacting you on this
issue.Pls let me know if you can be of any help. A friend
in need is a friend in deed.

Thanks,
Lucy

Warning! You're using your real hotmail address, we can only endorse baiting safely from fresh clean mailboxes.

How about rebaiting him from another (new, clean, safe) account just by mailing him and saying "Janey forwarded me your message, are you ok honey? Do you still need cash to sort yourself out? How much? I'll try and help! Annette x" I imagine he'll enjoy that and you can stop mailing him from your account.

As above, drop this one immediately and start again from a made-for-baiting email address. Leave no connection between what you have done so far and youe new address/baiting character or the lad may have it in him (debatable) to start harassing your real live email address when things hit the wall later down the line.
