The "Scammers Without Borders" Lad - the scammer who has contacts everywhere, even in peopleless lands.

Quote:

This is to inform you that I came to Nigeria on Monday, after series of complains from the FBI and other Security agencies from Asia, Europe, Oceania, Antarctica, South America and the United States of America respectively, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the rate of scam/fraudulent activities going on in their country.

Oh and an image of "the dialer" - 47 missed calls during a 13 hour period.

The Enmeshed; a Lad who's totally caught up in the baiter's counter-story and clearly believes in its reality, to the extent that he accepts every twist and turn as if it's real. Most if not all long baits have this type of Lad in it.

The Sandtimer; a Lad who has become so Enmeshed that the bait keeps on going past the twelve-month mark.

The Self-Sabotager: a Lad whose misprints, especially with money, make him look foolish. Cases in point are the Investment House Lad who offered $34.50, or another Lad who wrote;

Quote:

1) Certificate of Death. $1.250 Usd 2) Certificate of Legality. $ 1.200 Usd 3) Afidavite of Claim. $ 1.000 Usd TOTAL FEES $ 3.450 Usd.

The Victor/Victoria Lad; a Lad who changes a script to be from "the only daughter of..." but forgets to amend the male references elsewhere in the script.

The Institutionally Confused; starts off claiming to be working in one institution or organisation, but then claims to be from somewhere else - for example, was from an "Investment House" but later on wrote that he was with a bank.

You are finding a lot of great new species Yastreb. I hereby award you the grand title of 'Species Hunter Extraordinaire' Smile

The Self-Sabotager (Messupia yastrebicum)
The Institutionally Confused (Confusicum yastrebicum)
Victoria Lad (Victoria yastrebicum)

I've also found an old example of
The Titled (Majoria tohellicum): Self important scammer who gives their character over inflated titles, often completely messing them up.

The Repeater - Repeats one word all over, just to show how serious he is. Often combined with "Ok" after each sentence.

Also... bump.

Mortal, sounds like the Lad has an OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), also babies learning to talk show the same behaviour. Perhaps this is not a lad but a baby Smile

We have already got
The Repeater (Agania persistia): Keeps telling you to do a specific action multiple times.
and
The Yes Man (Okia nutsia): Ends every sentence with 'OK' for no apparent reason.

The repeating one word over and over is new species material though, so we have to come up with a new name.
Was thinking maybe
"The OCD" or "The Learning to Talk".

The Religiously Confused (Allahicum godhicum): Isn't sure if they are Muslim or Christian, flip flops between either depending on their victim.

Quote:

May Allah's blessings be with you in all your daily endeavours, Ameen.

The Claim to Shame (Oscarus tohellicum): Lad who claims fame, perhaps to have won an award or esteemed title. The true award goes to how lame the award is.

Multiple species from a single scammer .. gold

The Hero (Vallianti tohellicum): Lad who tells amazing stories of how he saved someones life.
The Pidgin (Nulanglica tohellicum): Scammer who makes excuses for his terrible English, often claiming that someone else had picked up the phone when we all know it was him.
The Clown (Crusti tohellicum): Lad who has the same name as a circus clown.

Quote:

I hope the mail below is the type of written note you need from me?
---------------------------------------------

Good Morning to you.

My name is Bobo, and I was told by my good friend Mr Thomas that you need some proves about his English speaking friend who called the other day to know how he was doing, but unfortunately someone else picked up his phone.

So am writing now to let you know that Mr Thomas A. was a friend whom I saved his life some years ago when he was attacked by a snake. everybody around him ran away that very day, because they couldn't stand it, but I was the person who went straight to him and took him to the nearest hospital for his medical attention, seems nobody was eager to help. and We all knew that snake bite is very poisonous. so I took care of him and his hospital bill, then Mr Thomas promised never to forget my kind effort towards him for saving his life.

I was a Carrier with 5 kids to take care of. and now I am seriously ill, I got the swine flu – and I can’t work as a carrier at the moment.

So I really need some help from Mr Thomas A. to lend me some money to buy food for my family. please try to understand my situation and let Mr Thomas help me now that I need his help if he truly appreciate my kindness for saving his life.

Thanks for your understanding.

Yours Sincerely
Mr Bobo
