This looks more like a beggar than a scammer. And if this is a lads format he didn't pay much attention on lad school. I don't think he will have much succes with this, well i hope so.

eta, the IP resolves to Accra

Accra airport must have a special wing to house all the lads who are stranded there with various trunkboxes. I had one there for weeks, you'd think someone would have asked him why he was living there.

Funny how a lad with Eu 9 Million is stuck for 400.

Anyway, you must go and pink him with the rest of the fund.

One hopes noone tells him his format is rubbish, but you wonder if people still fall for it.

Gosh, my motherly-type character with a soft spot for 'young boys of ages' believes it already.

If the mail would like to find its way into Surplus, she will find her way there also.

After all, this is just the sort of super-effective script we would want to encourage, isn't it?

Posted it in surplus. Make him feel his format is the best in the world Wink

Hopefully he will find some full stops and commas in the bottom of his 'attach briefcase box's'.

so he takes $8000 from the money-box.... then he needs to pay $1200 to the airport immigration officer.... but he can't because he's $400 short...? Rolling Eyes

no wonder he needs a daddy ... probably to help him with mathematics Laughing

... and, if he's that bad with figures, he's probably wrong about the 9 million as well Sad

post him a calculator.

And offer to sell him a battery for it for a million euros.

You know, this is awfully close to my gold dust boy's original format. Same location, too. Perhaps we've found a peer Smile
