I wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of Four million Six hundred thousand British Pounds Sterling) in the intent of the deceased (names now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance since there is no writen will.

Instead of targeting specific names, he just pretends to be sending a followup with redacted name. Only after the victim replies does he have to come up with the dead relative's name. Sheesh. At least put some effort into it. |

I generally toss those, but I've thought about replying as a female character and then when they say to Juorda Freizwiddat that Engineer Freizwiddat (to take a name at random) left you all his money, you explain that your maiden name was Frobnitz, and you have no relationship to the Engineer, so please explain.
I'm just starting with one where I was named as beneficiary in the first message, but they are now starting to hint that they will require money to alter the beneficiary to me. I've sent them a wtf message, to see them squirm. Yes, I know it's sort of education, but it means that their initial script messages may then be more vague and less tempting (like the one Juan posted). |

Kinda reminds me of this one I got today.
Quote: |
Dear Friend,
How are you doing today, we are reaching out to you to help , the Benazir Bhutto Memorial Foundation. i want to know if you can recieve the donation made by some individual in your country,if yes I will be diverting some donations meant for my late mother Mermorial foundation to you,you will be payed and remit the rest into the foundation's escrow account.
i hope to hear from you soon,
Regards,
Bilawal Zardari. |
None of the usual bullshit about where they got my email or why they're coming to me. No explanation about who Bhutto is or what the charity does. And most importantly, no information about how big my cut is.
Lazy, lazy, lazy. |

Here's another lazy one. I picked up this bait just because it was so brief. I believe he may have twigged after getting a strange passport attachment from me, or he's just been too lazy to respond (likely the latter). No kidding, this was all he sent:

they're so lazy it's an unjustifiable waste of effort to try to describe just how lazy. |

I replied to an intro letter recently that did not mention the deceased by name and got back this (my character's name has been masked)
Quote: |
I received your email and will like you to know that i seek your partnership in having this funds transfered for our mutual benefit. Do not take this transaction for granted. This partnership shall be based on TRUST AND CONFIDENCE. I am Mr. {JOHN HENRY), a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Late Engineer?{Robert F***}a nationale of your country he's known and referred to as my client. I am a British Citizen. You are qualified by last name to stand as the next of kin/ beneficiary to his funds and assets. The mentioned inheritance funds was meant for a business project which till now was never completed, and the funds totallingabout ?,600,000.00GBP (Three Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) has been with the Security/ ROYAL FINANCE in America since his death. After several unsuccessful attempts to trace members of his family, I decided to track anyone with same last name to present as next of kin since there are no next of kin, hence I contacted you. In view of the importance and urgency of this business to me, I am writing you to give you more information about this whole DEAL. I know you may be initially scared and sceptical about this lucrative business offer just from the blues. |
I like how he uses the braces {} to enclose the names. Apparently his auto-substitute script is a wee-bit faulty and fails to removes the braces. Naturally, he is too lazy and/or stupid to notice. Imagine getting such an offer from some royal American finance organization out of the blues? Someone dis-educated him well
I am going to come up a new baiting character with some ungodly odd and strange last name especially for such baits. Naturally, the lads won't think twice about that at all but I'll get a bit of a chuckle out of it. |

@Juan: I've been getting a few of those a week for months now. I like to to tell them that I already replied to their (non-existant) first notice, and am ready to send a WU transfer tomorrow. At first I was shocked that any of them would bite, but then I remembered these are lads we're dealing with here.

I think I know why they do that. It's because a word document is less likely to get caught in the spam filters. Lazy and underhanded yes, but stupid no! |

I have a baiting name/address (catcher) that is purposefully made up from a male first name and a female first name. I have used either one as a surname, depending which gender I want to be.
When I get emails like this, I write back without signing the email and ask for the name of the deceased. When they pick one of my names to use as the surname, I use the other one, telling them they don't have the right person. |

^Interesting modality. I'll have to try that, too. With my main baiting character, my first and last names can easily be switched as both are relatively common first names. |

What is it with the spate of junk mail I've been getting recently with one line and a link?
Examples:
That one led to a pretty good-looking website with a woman talking in the bottom right corner - quite sophisticated to my untechnical mind. I keep getting these rebate processing offers (I'm signed up on Monster and CareerBuilder) - is that actually a legit job? (Not that I'd go for it - not my cup of tea)
And there have been a few for processing FHA insurance refunds. Those I just deleted unread. |

^^^ I'm thinking those are just regular old spam. They're often total scams too, but nigh impossible to bait. |
