My reply, which thoroughly confounded him, is as follows:

Quote:

Sir,

Mr. Qur3shi is indeed my representative. I dispatched him to you after learning of the unpaid amount.

Please dispatch the funds to him so that he may return posthaste.

Regards,

He replied saying the funds would be dispatched. I figure I'll give him about a day to come up with an alternate story. Hehehe.

A seven-minute turn around! My, but the is industrious.

Too bad I'm about to smash him for sending unreadable/unopenable documents.

And I'm going to laugh hard when I pull the same trick on him.

You think I am an idiot? Those attachments are not what you claim them to be. Thank God I have an online service to check the attachments sent to me. Based on the basic check, those appeared to be malicious computer viruses!

Are you from one of my competitor investing firms, out to attack my company? KEEP YOUR SHIT OUT OF MY COMPUTER!

I do not appreciate malicious attacks on my servers, and I will prosecute those who defy me to the fullest extent of the law!

So if you are who you claim to be then you need to send immediate apology and a damn good explanation. Or so help me I will have the full might of our legal department brought to bear on discovering who you are and suing you back to the Stone Age!

And we're off to the races!

One of my dying women scammers had a fatal flaw. The husband's estate was to be split three ways, one for her medical care, second she established a granting agency in her husbands name for widows and orphans war surviours. The third was to given to me for any purpose that I wanted to use the funds for. Laughing

I was so touched by her generosity (the coffee had yet to take effect in the morning) that I donated the whole sum to be added to the granting agency in her husbands name.

My expectation was that would be the last communication.

How wrong I was, it went on for a year and a half. It took at least 6 months for them to realize it was their own money I was giving them. They were never sure. The fun stuff is always when they asked for fees and I pointed out I was giving them money not expecting money.

It got so bad that eventually I met with a legal team once a month to review documents and cases and if their documents weren't available to the clerk of chambers Twisted Evil

a few days before the scheduled meeting the adgenda item would be delayed to the next month.

They never did produce the "Letters Patent" for the fund.

In the end they begged not to be included in our benevolent funding. I got them off script in the first email and they stayed that way.

It is a great way to work on baiting skills.
