This is from a job scam where they send victims counterfeit cheques to cash for them. Clearly they don't want to miss the chance to steal from the disabled, leaving them in trouble with the law for good measure.

The concern is that I must presume that they only know of the existence of disability payments from having scammed someone disabled, and they want to do it again. Evil or Very Mad

Double bastards, I've worked with Habitat in New Zealand, a really good organisation doing really good work at the coal face as it were, rather than sitting in large offices giving out platitudes.

Lads are the bottom of the scum barrel.

Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 11:38 pm

Pond life bastards.

I noticed though that the charity they are impersonating has a (genuine) web site with a big donate link on there home page. Just guessing but after weeks of to and froing is that where the donation will be sent?

Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2010 12:17 am

Yes, the fact that they're piggy-backing on Habitat for Humanity so blatantly will make it easy to "send" payment to Americus, GA instead of the lad. Maybe if enough people do that he'll stop using the real charity address in his scam.

My wife has worked with HfH in New Orleans for 3 summers, with some of her students. It's a great organization. It makes me sick to see lads sullying it like this. Evil or Very Mad

Please, please may I.

I have got one even worse - Lad wants to take hospital money from severely injured person. I'll publish my bait when it's concluded.

I've put the lad up for a 'common spank' or should I change it to 'mass spank' in the help forum. He is operating under a stolen ID, and actually causes a lot of trouble for the ID-theft victim.

Fell free to have a go at him. As you know - My lad is your lad, this one in particular. He is a real nasty piece of work.

Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2010 10:33 am

I've sent a mail to the charity using e-mail addies kindly supplied by irishemigrant, so that they can include a warning on their website if they decide that's what they want to do.

At least they are on notice about what this scammer is doing.

From the syle of the scam mail, the number of different mail accounts being used (just Google the phone number they're using) and their statement that they'll check out any phone numbers they're given, this looks like quite a professional and large scale effort by the scammer.

^^^ Gosh. That was one sick-making Google search, indeed.
I´m glad you alerted the real HforH.
Meanwhile, I´ve put the addy through the mincing machine and we´ll see how they react.

I like to bait check scammers as a disabled person. After I act like I have cashed their check, I tell them I spent their money here: http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchair-accessories-c545/colours-y-360-heart-wheels-25-x-1-p558604.html?engine=froogle&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=feed&CS_003=9164468&CS_010=ff8081811df2f762011efa3a5db5020b

Not to hijack the thread, but it's always interesting to see how far lads are willing to sink. In my current bait my poor Indian character has been having trouble coming up with $1250. So today, in desperation, he stole an elderly tourist's purse and unintentionally killed her when he knocked her down. Did the lad care?

I could transfer some money ... but I will need it back by next week as I have to pay for my next course of chemotherapy and caprine-gland injections for my cancer (I think I told you I have cancer of the fetlock)

As soon as you send, scan the western union receipt and forward it to me immediately. I am going to pay you back as soon as i get back to London by this weekend.

Thank you for your understanding.

Honestly if I could persuade these lads to take a short walk of a high cliff I would do so without a moment's hesitation.

Thanks for having a go at him - I can see he seem to have a busy day at the "office" - He's not so prompt in his replies any more Laughing

I made him offer me my first piggy (literally!), I'll see if I can get more before I finish my bait on him.

OK. I sent this HfH copying lowlife a tempting email.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Quote:

My dearest friend in America - Angie Steinbaum - sent me a copy of a letter you sent her about employment with your organisation. I think you know Angie as a good person for you to employ. She cares very much about orphan children and will work hard to raise money for them.
I think you would have heard about the terrible floods that have happened in Pakistan. I see on the television that children are sick and starving and some do not even have any clothes to wear. This brings me much sadness.

The ladies of my church auxiliary have raised a substantial amount of money. Are you helping the poor children in Pakistan? If you are helping in Pakistan we would like to hear what you are doing for them. I will then suggest to our ladies that our fund should be sent to you to help the poor children. It is a lot of money so we do need to make sure that it will go where it is most needed.

Please send me an outline of your work in Pakistan. As soon as I receive it I will propose the money be forwarded to you as a donation.
Looking forward to your early response.

Pretty simple I thought. Maybe a little BS about buying food and supplying a few tents. Didn't expect anything too elaborate.

And he replied:

Quote:

I would like to know the name of the church and the amount you are ready to donate for the cause,Habitat For Humanity help the poor and the less privilege people.
I will need your full name and phone number.

No salutation, no information about his work in Pakistan. Not even a bloody thankyou for the offer of a substantial donation. Plus a demand for my "full name" and "telephone number". Lazy, arrogant little pr1ck.

Fortunately if this is his usual response to offers of a donation, I don't think he'd very much from fair dinkum people.

Anybody want to make suggestions on how to cause this low life some extra pain?

Some are to lazy to read even short mails with only short sentences. Or maybe the only letters they know are 'MTCN'

Please ...the more the merrier.

What has occurred since :-

From me:

Quote:

Dear Sir,

Thank you so much for responding so quickly to my email. I know you must be very busy with all the disasters around the world.

Our church is the Church of the Blessed Lady in Yalla Creek. Our ladies have been working very hard and have so far collected $12,562.00. We also have pledges for another $13,758.00 which should come in the next week or two.

We are particularly interested in hearing of the work you are doing with the poor starving and homeless children suffering in the Pakistan floods. We particularly want our funds to help these children.

When you could let us know about your work in Pakistan I will speak to the ladies about donating the money to Habitat for Humanity.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Andrea Roberts.

Lad replies:

Dear Andrea,
In early 2010, central bank statistics revealed the country needed more than eight million housing units, a number which was increasing by about 300,000 units every year. The housing shortage is acute in cities and towns where half of the population lives in slums or irregular settlements known as katchi abadis.
Pakistan floods are the "worst humanitarian disaster" in recent memory.Up to 13,000,000 Pakistanis are affected by the recent massive flooding.
We are building houses for them and creating a place for them to stay.
I am still waiting for your address and the church address,if you want to help you can start by sending funds to the our project manager in Newark,New Jersey.
Since you will be using Western Union to send the funds I will advise you split the money in to two places before sending.
Let me know if you need the Western Union Information.

Thank You.

Already instructions on how to send the money via Western Union. Greedy, greedy, lazy lad.

From me:

Quote:

Dear Sir,

You have not told me your name and you have not even put your name on the signatory line of the emails you wrote. Please tell me your name, after all I did.

You are not building trust with me. How can I send you money when you do not even write your name.

I think you misunderstood me. I am offering you a donation, but only if the ladies are happy with what you are doing in Pakistan. It is a lot of money we will be donating, and there will more every few weeks - so I think we should know where our money is going.

How many emergency houses have you provided since these terrible floods hit. Are you also supplying food to the children. I really need a good proposal to take to the ladies so that funds can be released to your charity.

If you do not want this donation, please tell me immediately so that I can send it to another organisation that is helping the children.

Please reply stating you name, position at Habitat for Humanity, and a proposal why you should be the beneficiary of this fund.

Andrea Roberts.

He's currently emailing me from [email protected]. Anyone that belongs to the ladies' auxiliary of the Church of the blessed Lady in Yalla Creek could ask him to clarify how our money will be spent.

Also my good friend, Angie Steinbaum, is very keen to see that the children get their funds.

And his IP is Nigeria, Lagos

I'm going to try baiting him from all angles.

Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2010 1:26 pm

@sunshine, I hope those caprine gland injections are helping that cancer of the fetlock.
I´ve been told (unoffically) that´s a risky treatment.

There´s been no response to the mincing machine. Crying or Very sad

so I think my current massbait character may sober up long enough to write this lad about her desire to help.

Good people of Earth .. (good opening to a post eh?)

Well from the year or so I've been hanging out here at eater, we've come across some quite despicable (Sylvester the cat voice) lads.
We must understand however that these lads lead their lives on the mean streets of some of the worst cities in the world. Their lack of education and poor upbringing does leave most of them with a lack of scruples that most normal god/law abiding people find it hard to understand.
Many of them are victims themselves, either being forced into crime by others or due to abject poverty and lack of opportunity.
We may say, get educated and get a job, but it is not as simple as that.
So how far would a lad go to get your cash?
We've had hit lads who have threatened to 'kill' amongst others, a 12 year old girl and a 93 year old Mexican widow. Why would they care what they say to get your cash? As far as they are concerned they are 'honest' thieves, robbing from the rich to feed the 'poor'.
Do they care if you have cancer, answer, not really. As far as they are concerned you are going to die anyway and they might as well have your money.
Also these lads must have really boring lives, sitting in an Internet cafe most of the day sending out and replying to e-mails.
The ones who make money are few and far between. Of course one or two of them will hit the jackpot, e-mailing the victim at just the right time and having a story which helps them to part with their cash.
These lads must also get a rush from what they are doing. I have had some highly exited lads call me when they think they can smell cash coming.
I get a rush from knowing the big let down they are going to feel when they don't get hold of any and have wasted their time. Hopefully they will be desperate enough to do the world favor, if you know what I mean.
