I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $12,570,000(Twelve million Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand USD) to the States or any safe country of your choice, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete approval for my retirement plans in another (6) weeks.

This transaction is 100% genuine and will benefit both of us. I will give you my full details and transaction plans as soon as i get to trust your reliability, This is of topmost confidentiality due to my name and establishment,but at the same time it is not stolen funds,neither is it an inheritance.

Thank you and Regards.

NOTES: THE SCAMMER ATTACHED A SCAN OF A PASSPORT TO THIS E-MAIL, ALMOST CERTAINLY A FAKE. I NOTICE THAT IT HAS EXPIRED AND DECIDE TO EXPLOIT THAT.

A DAY OR TWO LATER:

Could you please confirm to me if you did receive my personal details which i sent to you?

Yes, I received them. Thanks.

When will you be sending yours to me to enable us proceed on this venture?

Soon.

Hi Mr. John,

You said your working ID was attached, but it wasn't.

It looks like your passport has expired, too, unfortunately. That will make our working relationship complicated. Do you have an updated one?

Best wishes,
Enderman Blonte

Hello Enderman

Yes my passport has expired but i have just applied for a new one which i will have it in few weeks time, I cannot send to you my working identity card because its against our rules and regulations.

If your interested in completing this transaction with me kindly send to me your details and let us proceed or if you have further questions kindly send to me your private phone number and i will call you.

best wishes
Mr. John

Hello John,

I have the same problem as you. My passport has expired and I'm waiting for a replacement.

Why did you say you were going to send your work ID but then changed your mind about it?

My number is [FAKE NUMBER].

Best,
Enderman

NOTES: I'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH THE SCAMMER FOR A WEEK SO FAR. I HAVEN'T BEEN PUTTING IN MUCH EFFORT OR ENERGY AT ALL. IT'S TAKEN ME A FEW MINUTES OF MY TIME IN TOTAL. I REPLY EVER OTHER DAY.

THE SCAMMER HAS BEEN USING 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT E-MAIL ADDRESSES.

You gave me your number to call you and i have called you many times and you kept on busy my phone called, Tell me how can i speak to you or if possible call me back.

NOTES: I DECIDE NOT TO REPLY FOR A FEW DAYS.

Hello Dear Enderman

I pray and hope that this message will meet you and your family in good health, could you please tell me what the problem is and why does it take you so long to respond in one message and please if you’re not interested kindly notify me as soon as possible instead of delaying so much which makes me feel your not interested, I hope you understand what I mean?

Best wishes
Mr. John

Hi,

I have been a bit busy lately, as I'm sure you can understand. Also, I'm waiting for my new passport to arrive.

Best,
Enderman

Hello Dear Enderman

Thank you very much for your message, i know you maybe very busy but that does not stop you from answerring my phone calls to you. Secondly you requested for my information which i did send to you and when its comes to your turn you became very busy.

from all indication i don't think that you are serious about this transaction therefore i demand an answer to this question, are you interested to complete this transaction with me or not. if yes kindly send the requested information to me with a scan copy of your valid identity card.

best wishes
Mr. John

Hello Mr. John,

I have family members telling me you're a scammer and that I shouldn't trust you. Is there any reason I shouldn't listen to them?

I'm feeling a little betrayed by you.

Best,
Enderman

Well i cannot and will never force you into what you don't fell comfortable doing but i believe i have proof myself enough for you and will never do further until i receive your positive response within the next 24hours otherwise i will know that your just a joker and i left with no choice than to seek for another investor assistance, your whole family can say anything the decision is yours.

By the way who brought your so called family into this meaning you have been going around discussing this with people? Are you a woman or a man?

Hi,

Actually it's funny that you should mention gender. You see, I'm a man transitioning into a woman - I have the operation next week. It's been a very difficult time and your comments seem a little harsh.

Anyway, I've decided I do still want to help you. What is the best way to do that?

Best wishes,
Enderman (soon to be called Johnette - do you like this name?)

NOTES: I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GOING TO REPLY TO THIS ONE. WE'LL SEE.

UPDATE: After a couple more very brief exchanges he gave up.

I strung him along for a bit over a week, but I started with the weirdness too early. I've learned from this one.

Welcome baitingfuriously.
The first step is just getting used to interacting with them and you've certainly done that, making him mad along the way:

I'm sure you have some feelings about where it went wrong but here are my thoughts if you find them useful.

If a scammer sends you an outdated fake passport, that's probably a sign he's got nothing better. And could be really hard to get other photo documents from him as he's almost certainly not going to be the person pictured on the passport.

Your start was solid and I like the idea of delaying in various ways and turning some of his requests around on him. The main problem in my view is that he wasn't yet convinced that you were invested in the deal and likely to pay out - or that you promised other means of moneymaking for him. Once he provided his list of personal details it may have been more effective to send a similar list of your own back. As you didn't do this it seemed like you were too hesitant and maybe just a time waster. Once you directly called him a scammer, this makes it even more difficult.
(There's a small chance you'll still get a reply: if so I expect it will be another insult).

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing how you approach the next one.

Should you wish to "try again" and see if you can make "improvements," reply to his initial email from a brand new account. Baiting one lad from multiple accounts can help you learn what will and won't work!

Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 5:04 am

Thanks guys for chiming in. I agree with your critiques and will follow your tips and suggestions.

I've since read the tutes on this site a bit more thoroughly, so I won't be repeating previous mistakes.

I started straight-baiting a few more lads with another account and these ones are proceeding as 'slow burners' with no weirdness... yet. So far, so good.
