Got a standard 'please send a fee' script from a Lad yesterday , with something quite important missing . . .

Quote:

. . . . I will advise you to kindly go and send this Only security keeping fee and delivery fee to enable the DHL delivery company to deliver your parcel under 2 working days,

Bellow is the information which you will make the payment,

Receiver Name: (Removed)
City Address: C/33 Midombo Cotonou
Country: Benin Republic
Text Question: when
Answer: now
Amount: $150, USD ONLY
MTCN.............

No mention of WU, or MG there at all eh ?

My ever helpful character duly obliged. . . .

Quote:

. . . . As requested , I've sent the funds to ; (Removed), , C/33 Midombo Cotonou, Benin Republic

The nice lady in the post office said it should arrive in 5 or 6 days.

This is all jolly exciting isn't it !

I look forward to the next thrilling installment of this unfolding drama !

Tally Ho !

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when he twigs what just happened !

It also works with payment slips. I recall one Lad that I send a payment slip to:

Quote:

This is to notify you that the mail is here today with your slip and claim certificate...

I was able to put him on the spot!

Quote:

You said my letter had reached you on Friday; so how the Sam Frick did it end up in my mailbox, unopened, with "non a questo indrizzo" written in the envelope, today?

If you want to have some fun send a large envelope filled with newspaper, with the end cut and taped back up to the address.

I had a lad get so mad at me for saying that I sent a check by mail. His little temper tantrum was great. Laughing

Hello dear friend,

You where requested to make the payment through western union or money gram, (* ermm . . actually , I'll think you'll find I wasn't !*)

So i am advicing you to kindly go to the post office and get back your money, because we do not work with post office here in Benin Republic,
I wait to receive the payment information Such as senders name, question and answer, and the MTCN Control number,
Bye as i wait to hear from you.

Lads seem to have a funny idea about post offices that you can just go and get back your letter.

I recall one Lad who simply could not grasp the idea of puting something in the post and insisted that he couldn't receive a letter without an MTCN.

^^^I have always wondered abut this. It is sometimes useful in a bait but they really do not seem to want to grasp it when it is of no benefit to them. If they want money by post, they understand it just fine until the money disappears.
