I can't recall exactly who had fun with a Lad confusing dots with commas in numbers and asking for $2.500 to be sent via WU - but I've had my own fun with that.

As you can see the we are going to procure your vitel documents in concerned Ministries and the only fee that is for us is the chambers consultation fees which is $ 1.100 Usd, while the $ 3.450 Usd, is for your documentations, the documentation fees is for the Goverment try to understand that you will paying us our charges when you receive your funds in your account. Our consultation fees is for going around for you work and feuling our cars so try to send the money today so that we can proceed on your work

I was going to slap him for his fees until I realised what he'd done, so instead I wrote:

Why do you need me to send you money? That's pocket change, for the love of Freyja! And for those consultation fees - man, you guys must have really cheap petrol or really economical cars - tell me what you drive.

The lawyer answered - repeating the blunder:

Quote:

Wish to inform you that we have haerd what you said, you can send the documentations fees of $3.450 Usd now with the name giving to you by this hononrable chambers for us to commence on your work.

What could I say but...

Quote:

For the love of Freyja, this is a joke! There is no way that I am going down to the post office to send you such a piddling amount of money. Where's your pride?

... followed by a quick note to the banker Lad.

This lawyer T0ure is a fucking deadbeat! It's incredible how tight-assed he is about money. How can he be like that if he's so well connected?

The main Lad doesn't get it:

Quote:

I don't really understand you anymore, please I have told you time without number that this lawyer is not a small person in this counrty, so if you can not help me again, just tell him that another person will continue from where you stop so that I will look for somebody that will help me complete the transaction, because this is my only hope and the hope of my entire family aswell.

Cammy wasn't going to let that go:

Quote:

Just shut the fuck up and pay attention, willya? This well-connected lawyer is so broke he's begging me for small change! "you can send the documentations fees of $3.450 Usd now with the name giving to you by this hononrable chambers for us to commence on your work" - if you think I'm going to take this dickwad seriously, forget it.

Today I sent this to both Lads:

Quote:

I'm told you're well-connected and you've got lots of friends in high places. Then tell me why you're so strapped for cash you have to beg for the price of a double choc drumstick! I'd like an answer and soon, OK?

The main Lad replied:

Quote:

You see the lawyer is not asking or beging you to give him money, he is only asking of the money to procure the requires certificates from the bank and he need money to pay before they can issue decoments to him. So let not spoil what we have suffered for long time please, I want to know how much you can be able to send from the $3.450, so that I will know what to do from my side here

I'm giving him another chance to work it out:

Quote:

For the love of Freyja, will you PLEASE just LISTEN to me?!
I don't need any help from you with money! Fuck me - do you think I'm that poor? I just don't believe that this hotshot lawyer needs me to send some piddling little amount. This whole thing has me baffled and you're not helping. If he can't give up his morning coffee to make this work, then I don't know why I should pick up the fucking slack for him.

This has been a lot of fun. Even if he does eventually get it and finally give the "correct" fee, then there's the invoice to get, and then the inevitable dollar-chop...

haha, nice. What an eegit, unfortunately I think the only way he would ever twig was if you sent him the three dollars. But that's like buying him a meal, and i'm sure we'd rather see him starve. Twisted Evil
