You still haven't told me what a Western Union Money Gram is.

Subject: RE: Attention: David Maxwell Smart,

Western Union and Money Gram is a means of sending money faster and safely, Just go to any outlet of western union or money gram and just proceed in sending the fee and if you need to nearest Western Union or Money Gram around you, just google it and you will find it.

Anyway kindly reconfirm you phone number because the one i have here is not going through and i need to speak to you because it matter of urgency.

Subject: Re: Attention: David Maxwell Smart,

Yeah, my phone was just disconnected because I fell behind on my bills. I could really use that money right now!

As for the Western Union and Money Gram shipment, how do I google something? I know Google provides my email, but I'm not quite sure who I should send an email to to find out about where a Western Union and Money Gram shipment location is.

Thanks!

(Something tells me I'll have moved when/if he tries to mail me a package, too)

Go to a nearest Bank and ask for direction of Western union or money Gram or go to a walmart store and you will find it there or reconfirm your delivery address to me again so i can google the nearest western union close to you and also take note that your phone number is really needed.

The guy at the bank tells me you're trying to rip me off, and won't tell me "for your own good." I don't trust Wal-Mart.

Also, I already told you I couldn't pay my phone bill.

So, here's my address again:

742 Evergreen Terrace
Springfield, Kentucky 04096

Thanks!

Introduce the guy at the bank as a character!!! He sends an e-mail to scammer "This guy came in and I knew it was a scam! He is so stupid he would not listen to me. Look -- You and I can work together. This guy Dave has lots of money. I will take half and you will take half. What do you say? Work with me or I will convince Dave it really is a scam!"

Love the idea of introducing the guy at the bank, trying to rip off Mr. Smart. Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always, tomorrow...

But first, to make the lad explain even more basic stuff to our protagonist character.

p.s. Why did my address show up in purple?

Background information: I copied and pasted my fake address into GMail this time, which, of course, caused it to show up in quotes. But I'll let the lad come up with an explanation.

Just go ahead and send it through Wal-mart because it safe and you will find money gram location there and also find a western union location your self because that the only option for you to receive your funds.

I told you I don't trust Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart guy had an affair with my cousin's mother!

However, the other bank guy said he'd to help me send you the money via Western Union. I gave him your email address. He should be emailing you soon.

Is this an ongoing bait? Baits should be published only when they are finished. If you would like help with an ongoing bait, please ask in HH&T.

Edited to remove reference to previous post.

Davesmart1024, you can choose to post here if you wish, but I would suggest editing names and email addys. Some lads do do searches and will be led here.

I can see there are other ongoing baits in this forum, and that the emails of everyone but the lads are usually left out, so okay. I'll edit out my fake email, and change the names of the rest of the characters.

Hi, Mr. Ruben, or whatever your real name is,

We both know you're trying to separate a very stupid man from his money; I work for The First Bank of Springfield, the bank he goes to, and would like a share of the profits.

There are two possibilities here; either I keep half of the proceeds, and you receive the other half through Western Union, or I keep it all, and insist that I really did send you the money.

Which will it be?

Love,

Jack Gold

Dear Jacl Gold,

You must be very stupid for thinking this is a joke and i want you to know that i can never be a apart of your games because this is not a scam but 100% legitimate, So if you want to keep the whole money then go ahead and keep it and your client will not stand a chance in receiving his compensation ATM CARD anymore.

This is for real and not a scam so i will not be a [arty of cheating anyone.

Hi, Mr. Ruben,

Are you with the FBI, or the Central Bank of Nigeria? I want to know which office I should call to commend you on your honesty. Naturally, I'll be Googling the office number myself; you're so trustworthy that I'd rather look up the number than have you tell it to me.

I'll take your advice and keep the money.

Love,

Jack Gold, emphasis on the k.

I just got the receipt from Mr. Gold (the bank guy). He sent the money, and gave me the receipt in a file I don't know how to open.

You know anything about zip images?

Thanks! Maybe I'll be able to get my phone back online, and I can actually hear your voice!

Ignoring the fact that you've probably just killed your bait, a read of the forum rules might be a good idea http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1468641#disallow
