I have 206 emails sitting in my spam box, I'm sure one of them must be this email. pmsl at the bank account number, you think they would at least make it the correct number of digits.

Edited: I realise now I should not state what the correct number of digits is

Its a common email, same script with a different bank account on it, worth reporting to Alan as they are quite often real accounts (mule or stolen one)
All you need do is sound indignant if you reply, and the answer to question six is 'yes please'

This is assuming it came into a catcher account of yours, and not your real email address. If the answer to that is 'yes, my own account' just forward it to Alan [email protected] and then delete it.

Yea it came into my personal so I wouldn't respond to it, I bait safe. But i'll forward it and see if I can earn a easy piggy.

Edit - Forwarded.

Edit 2 - How do I get a piggy any how? Do the mods give them away?

You can bait stuff that comes to your real email - just reply from a catcher account, the same way you would if you were picking up a lad from surplus (be sure to delete any header info that might reveal the connection to your real-life box before you hit send). My primary email's spam box has been my main source of lads for the last year or so.

Edit to clarify - this applies to intro scripts that come to your email, NOT lads that you have had interactions with using real-life details before discovering they were a lad.

I'm pretty sure just looking at it, without even looking it up, that the bank coordinates do not match. I will not say on this forum why; if you want to know, ask in Hints and Tips, which only members can read. Don't send it to Alan; it's invalid and you don't get a piggy.

When the lad gives you an account that he wants you to send money to, it will be real, and you can report it to Alan. See the sticky in Hints and Tips for the format. Don't just forward it; he gets tons of them a day, and they have to be formatted so that he can easily enter them into the database.
