Hello I'm New here! Joined: 28 Sep 2010 Posts: 10

Just received this one. I actually laughed out loud at the reason for wanting the cash.

Greetings,

Happy New Year .

I am a captain with the United Nations troop in Iraq,on war against terrorism. Based on the United States legislative and executive decision for withdrawing troops from Iraq come this year, I have been deployed to come and work in your country's military base soonest.
Our mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states,mostly the United states and the European Union on the war against terrorism that is why I contact you.

On the other hand I want to inform you that I have in my possession the sum of 16.2 million USD. which I got from crude oil deal.
I deposited this money with a Red Cross agent informing him that we are making contact for the real owner of the money. It is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for this money.

I wish to use this money for charity purposes in Turkey,where we have about 3 million Iraqi refugees and Sudan where we have currently the highest numbers of refugees displaced as a result of war.You need to visit such places. I want to invest the money on stock fish from Norway to this refugees because, based on my experience on battle ground in this places, they lack a lot of fish and meat to add to their meager and unpalatable meals which they get in little quantity just to keep them living until God knows when the problem ends. Instead of allowing this terrorists to get the money and spend it on purchasing arms from Russia.
I cannot move this money to the United states because I will be in Europe for about 3 years, so I need someone I could trust. If you accept, I will transfer the money to Europe where you will be the beneficiary because I am a uniformed person and I cannot be parading such an amount, so I need to present someone as the beneficiary.
I am an American and intelligence officer, so I have a 100% authentic means of transferring the money through diplomatic courier service .I just need your acceptance and all is done.

Please if you are interested in this transaction I will give to you the complete details you need for us to carry out this transaction successfully.I decided to find someone that is real and not imaginary and that is why I went to a secured for a genuine directory where I can be sure that the person is real. I believe I can trust you. Where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities which is secured so nobody can monitor our emails,then I can explain in details to you. I will only reach you through e-mail, because our calls might be monitored,you should know that as a trained military expert I will always play safe in case i meet the bad type.

Please send me your personal mobile number so I can call you for further inquiries when I am out of our military network. I am writing from a fresh e-mail account,so if you are not interested do not reply to this e-mail and please delete this message, if noresponse after 3 days I will then search for someone else.
I wait for your contact details so we can go on. In less than 5 days the money should have been noted on your account and I will come over for my money. I will give to you 30% from the 16.2 million USD. and 70% is for me. I hope I am been fair on this deal. Please contact me if you are interested in this deal.

Regards
Capt Manchester Wayne
Baghdad-Iraq

Welcome to Eater, TwoCarpets! Yeah, that's a weird one, but the weird ones are easier to get off-script. Good luck with your fish farming. Smile

Ohh.... I see a lot of the use of the good Dr. Seuss book "One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" in your future!

The UN sent only one single troop into iraq?? lmao you should also try and get your friend captain birdseye with his fish fingers involved Wink

An American and intelligence officer, with no grasp of english grammar.... Totally believable.

I'm thinking it's legit... Wink

^^ Yes, and how about a "Fish for Armaments-Deal" modality? Smile

Let me guess. The money transfer question and answer is going to be:

Question: In that case...
Answer: Say you're a codfish.
(From the Peter Pan movie).

You can also haggle over other species that might be either cheaper or easier to fish or to source. Like pangasius from Vietnam, perch from the countries on Lake Victoria, etc.

Me suspecteth de-education of being at work.

Mmmmm.......! Norwegian fish stock.

A much prized ingredient by all the world's top chefs. I'd buy all I can if I were you and sell on at a profit. Let's Just hope your lad doesn't end up in the soup. Very Happy

Is it just me or is the lad not altogether clear here.

One on the funniest scripts i've seen.

Sounds almost too outlandish. De-education?

If not,h have fun Very Happy

At some point, you need to sign one of your messages with "So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish"....

If you can't get Norwegian stock fish, see if he's interested in Uluru rock barramundi. They're really rare, so they'd fetch a good price Laughing

What is this directory where they find all our names (even though they don't know our names"?

www.real_reliablepeople.com?

Okay, now we need to make up that directory and refer lads to it so they know that our baiting characters are actually real and reliable and 100% risky free ... Mr. Green

This is the first bait I've tried more than half-heartedly, and youre spot on, he went off script after only two emails.

I'm being quite gentle at the minute, really just using the exchanges to waste his time and amuse myself with increasing outlandish fish based puns in sentences, "too much molly-codling going on", and the like. Quietly confident of getting a bank account out of him, which would fair make my day.

I've introduced a new character, A Mrs H. Butt. H of course standing for Halley. See what I did there? Hee hee.
