Hey
So I've recently gotten my first ever scammer,
He "works" for the "Real Deaf Lottery USA"
I've been playing around with him for a little while,
But now it's come to the point of him wanting $150 so fedex can ship down my cheque for $9,000,000 from Tacoma, Wa.
He wants a Mtcn from western union.
I'm Debating searching up a Mtcn for a larger amount then asked and sending it to him. See what will happen.
I'm not very good with playing peoples minds, I'd like to know what your take on it is. what should I do?

When I'm feeling uncreative I just play along as a normal victim then create imaginary delays (my car broke down, the money was stolen on the way to the WU office, I'm banned from all WU offices for threatening a worker with a flamethrower) until I come up with something better. You could try S€curity Shi£ld or MŦCИ Secure but not all of them will go with it (it usually won't kill the bait though, he'll just ask you to send it without SS/MS).

Reusing live MTCNs is generally discouraged here, by the way. If you find any you're supposed to send them to the mods.

You only have one scammer? You poor, impoverished soul. Sad

Would you like a few dozen of mine? I'll sell them to you cheap and risky free! Very Happy

You went to Western Union to send him an MTCN but you were astonished at how much it would cost! Rather than spending all that money, you went to your bank. The bank president told you he could transfer funds electronically directly to the mugu's account. He just needs the name of a bank and the account number.

Then, using another e-mail address, write this to the mugu "I am Joe Smith, president of (victim's) bank. Your victim came into see me today about a fund transfer. He (or she) showed me all the e-mails. I knew at once you were a scammer. If you will cut me in for 1/2, I will agree to work with you -- working together we can make lots of money. But if you don't agree, I am going to tell your victim that you are a scammer!"

See where that will take you!

I think I like you Very Happy

There are loads of possible excuses though, depending on how gullible your particular lad appears to be.
At the moment, I'm taking advantage of the icy weather here, having my character suffer minor injuries from a car crash, so they had to go get checked out at the hospital for the day instead of going to the western union office.
Oh and did I mention that her wallet with the cash for the payment got stolen out of the glove compartment of the wrecked car afterwards? So many dishonest people around these days Rolling Eyes
