Is there a species yet for scammers who send you back and forth between their characters for a long time before asking for money?

I once had a refugee scammer calling him/herself "Cynthia" who told me to contact a so-called bank, which I did. The bank said I needed to either come to Spain, or get a lawyer. I opted for a lawyer and asked Cynthia for advice. She directed me to a "lawyer" she knew. I asked the lawyer to help me claim the money from the bank--and the lawyer refused! The lawyer (played by the same person as Cynthia) actually turned down the job, saying he was too busy! However, he directed me to a second lawyer, whom I soon contacted. It was only then that I was finally asked for money--almost two months after I first made contact with Cynthia.

Mega Bandit , this is a very interesting modus.
We of course have the lawyer character

Quote:

The Legal Vulture (Legalus dullii): Purports to be a barrister or lawyer linked to the bank or intitution with the cash fund.

and this is similar

Quote:

The Legalist (Legalus persistia): Dictates that you contact his lawyer/barrister to complete the transaction. Usually himself on another e-mail address.

But I think what you mean is

The Ping Pong (Delayus megabanditicum): Lad who bounces us between several of his characters over a period of time, to cause frustration and break our will (if we were a true victim). Also perhaps as a delaying tactic while he deals with another victim, or even to simulate the 'red tape' people come accross in a real business transaction.

Also one from your siggy

The Hypocrite (Acusus nutsia): Lad who accuses 'us' of being a scam artist.

Quote:

find out your name and address in the USA and was reliably told you are a scam artist. Search the goggle and know about your stupid self

Also some of my own for today

The Androphobe (Fearsus nutsia): Lad who is afraid of men, and male 'parts'.

Quote:

all my live I have never been married due to an encounter I had with my uncle concerning raping me has made me to be afraid of the male counterparts hence my decision not to marry hence my inability of having no child of my own to inherit this estate of mine

'male counterparts' .. I can tell you I have never placed my 'part' on a counter, no sir.!

The TLD (Domainia tohellicum): Lad who's e-mail top level domain is far removed from the country he is supposed to be e-mailing us from.
