I thought you'd get a kick out of this, it sure caught me by surprise! I attached the two jpg files that go along with the oh-so-weird text.
The Bait That Wouldn’t Die
The oh-so-persistent bad guy:
Tony Smith, National City Bank Group
The good guy:
Lou Al Sindor, basketball superstar and fan of all things Nigerian
This is of significance only because of the time lag involved and the bizarre re-connection of our hero with the long lost Tony, even after it was obvious that the jig was up. Enjoy…

You will need to provide me some sort of documentation to support this before I send you my identification. That poses a great risk for me.

to National
In the spirit of cooperation, I have attached my identification as well. I await your response and our progress.
Note: The attachment was actually a photo of a cafe in Nigeria full of scammers doing their thing and some...well...creative language about my opinion of them. I figure that would be the end of it as I had tossed my insult. As is usually the case, the mugu went away. But then…

to me
8:10 AM National: hello
how are you doing today
8:11 AM Why the delay
Note: that’s right, a Google chat message six months later. Unfortunately I missed it and figured he was done. But then…
……….
Note: this was from March 12, now almost exactly six months from the original email.
National: hello
Sent at 9:32 AM on Monday
National: how are you doing
me: Hello
National: why the delay
me: Delay?
National: yes why the delay for the delivery of your ATM CARD
worth $350,000
Note: I’d had my coffee and was in a playful mood, so I decided to try something new and tell him that I had already received my money. Evidently communication in the bank had broken down…
me: What do you mean? I GOT my card. Works great.
National: i have been sending you e-mails and yo do not respond
me: Maybe someone else at your bank then...? I get a lot of emails. Your bank already sent me my ATM card. Were you not informed?
National: Do you think this is a joke or something
?
me: I'm sorry, but I don't understand. I got my card, bought a car, made a down payment on a house...what's the problem?
National: its okay..i will inform the board of directors to proceed with the termination of your funds
take care
me: Oh, by the way...don't forget the important part...
1. I know there's no card.
2. I know you're lying
3. You're just another dumb Nigerian in a cafe surrounded by other dumb Nigerians
I'm happy to have wasted your time, though. You should get a real job...you're not smart enough for this one
Sent at 9:38 AM on Monday
me: You'll need a new email address, too. This one is going to become a problem for you...
Sent at 9:41 AM on Monday
Note: Had he had enough? Evidently not. He stayed on line so, as we were chatting, I started forwarding him other 419 emails…lots of them.
National: you must be stupid
me: How's that? I'm stupid because you're a 419 scammer?
National: you are stupid
me: Please explain so that I can understand, since you seem to be so smart...
Sent at 9:44 AM on Monday
National: what is the meaning of all this junk emails you are forwarding to me
you must be mad
me: No, I'm sharing them with you. Please note that ALL of these promise a lot more than your lousy $350,000. Recognize anybody?
Sent at 9:45 AM on Monday
National is offline. Messages you send will be delivered when National comes online.
Note: Any other day, I’d figure this was done….but Tony? I can’t write him off quite yet! Stay tuned… |
