Messaged a bunch of lads off of 419baiter.com's list of fresh addies with the typical "I'm interested, tell me more" first response.

Got mostly the usual, but one reply that made me go "wtf?"

Quote:

Good Day and Best of Greetings

Thank you for replying and showing interest but I really need to know if you are legitimate before giving out my hard earned money or contact to a stranger,In the meantime,you can find out about the details of what i said in major newspaper websites in Nigeria.Also I don't know the country you reside in but if it is the united states,You probably should have known that your country is Probing Haliburton for giving out bribes in Nigeria.

Now, I have no idea what his initial format was, so maybe that line was supposed to make sense in the context of the format. But the way it's written struck me as pretty hilarious. "Thanks for replying, we need to build up trust, Halliburton bribes Nigerians"... lol

Hit him back with:

Quote:

Hello,
How can I prove that I'm legitimate?
I've looked up what you referred to and found the references... but I don't understand, what does Halliburton have to do with anything? They are a good, upstanding American company that has been scapegoated by liberals and America-haters... did you know that Halliburton spent over $4 billion of its own money on reconstruction in Iraq? A lot of it wasn't even done at profit, it was done for free!

to which he replies...

Quote:

Well,I don't Know bout Halirbuton other activities so I want to know if you are legitimate or not,You sound legitimate so 2morow I will send u a mail letting you know all the details u need to send after consulting with my Lawyer.

Honestly, this sounds like a brand new lad. Clearly he doesn't have a script. I'm not going to be able to carry on a long enough bait to properly break him in because I leave for military basic training early next month - anyone want him?

Hi,

If you'd care to pm the email I'd be happy to be of service to the happy lad. Twisted Evil

Well if he is a shiny new lad, I'm sure he can be persuaded that scamming is hard work for little gain, other than the knowledge of how to build a 2 metre sand bag pyramid.

Let the de-education begin! Lakefield_Dave, it would be awesome if you could make a similar correction to his English.

Alexis,
I'm still waiting on the details - have you spoken with your barista yet? (In the US we call lawyers "baristas", as I'm sure you know, in England they call lawyers "barristers", when the great patriot Noah Webster made his American dictionary he changed the spelling of many British words to make American English different and superior to British English, so he changed "barrister" to "barista".)

I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!

He may be green enough to fill forms or safari - whoever takes him over, make the most of him Wink

I'd be happy to give him a whirl too.
