Today is the one year anniversary of my first email exchange with "Edwin" who is a regional manager at the Stnd Chartered Bank of Ghana. He had a 15 million dollar account listed with me as the beneficiary.
Poor Edwin has been through a lot over this year. My character has been kidnapped, had emergency surgery and went AWOL for 2 weeks, had his computer stolen by his son, was thrown in jail for conspiracy to commit fraud, died (twice - only for Edwin to find out that my son had hacked my email and told him that), lost my sight, joined a religious cult, sued Western Union for screwing up the MTCN numbers I was trying to send him etc etc
I was engaged with him regularly for the first 5 months and then things tapered off. Eventually this Fall I became very busy and just kept him on the hook with a once or twice a month check in. Ive engaged him a bit more lately as I was excited about our anniversary. He's still hanging in there for that $1,250.
This is NOT a sand timer. I took several weeks off here and there and didn't engage with him at all in December. However, I did want to thank my mentor Justcold and everyone her at 419 eater for their insight/tips
Oh, and how could I forget...THANK YOU Edwin for this wonderful year . It's been a blast.

I'd love to but didn't quite pull that off. However, I couldn't resist posting about my year long adventure! |

Great job keeping the lad responding for a full year. Even if you don't think it qualifies for a sandtimer, it's still a great accomplishment.
My thought is, if you can keep him going for another month (or as long as it takes to fill in the time that you missed during the year), you should go ahead and give yourself a sandtimer. |

He's still on the hook. It absolutely amazes me that after all this time he still emails things as recently as Feb 4th like "Dear Steve, I am ready if you are finally ready because, the fund bears your name as the legal owner and have no power to effect change of ownership to another beneficiary. That is why I wait and wait. I have no choice my brother. Therefore, all you need to do, is to send the balance of the required fee $1,250.00 then, i will finalize this matter and call you for good news as soon as possible . Just let me know when you are sending the fee. Sincerely Edwin M****."
HA. Let's see how long I can keep it rolling. I don't want the fun to end. |

Great job! Especially with the breaks in communication, to keep pulling him back in take some real work on your part. |

Wow. Thanks everyone. I love baiting. I just wish I had more time for it and had the creativity that some of the others here have. I pretty much straight bait and throw in some fun stuff every once in a while. Right now I have a flight booked to Hong Kong and my "host" has me booked in a hotel for our big meeting. A fellow member with a Hong Kong Skype number (THX Mountain Goat) has offered to call the lad when I "land" so we can run him around town trying to meet me to take me to our "meeting". That's the stuff I love! I have stumbled upon this new scam where they demand you fly to meet them. I am on my third one and the first two I have managed to drive absolutely nuts pretending to have landed and can't find them etc etc.
Thx again! Inspiring comments. |
