So here is my first bait. I tried some modality here, that I thought of.
I want to thank my mentor Ug the Barbarian for assisting me in critical situations!

Persons:

Me:
H3rold Phon3y Abbot of the monestary of the 419 prayers
Boris O�Maley from Harronsgate (BOFH), monk of the monestary of the 419 Prayers, head of accounts
Accountings.419 The accounting-softwareinterface

Scammer:
Mrs. Rosemary Brown
Barr. Dave Jackson
Alfred Macrae = Bank of America

My comments in bold.

For all those who are not familiar with "BOFH": BOFH usually stands for "Bastard operator from Hell" and is a ficticous

figure, created by Simon Travaglia. His current BOFH stories appear on http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/bofh/ and is

mainly a mean computersystems-guy who does a lot TO the users but not much FOR the users Wink

FROM MRS ROSEMARY BROWN OF NETHERLANDS
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT ON CHURCHES AND ORPHANAGES

Dear one in the Lord

My Good Friend,

I am the above named person from Netherlands,i am Married To MR WILLIAM BROWN who worked with Netherlands embassy in

London for Ten years before He died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven Years without a child.He died after a

brief illness that lasted for only Four Days,Before his death we were both born again Christians, When my late husband

was alive he Deposited the sum of $18.5MILLION USD with the Bank of America Presently,this Money is still With the

Bank of America .
Recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next four months due to cancer problem, Though what

disturbs me most is my stroke.Having known my Condition,i decided to donate this fund to church or Better still a

Christian individual that will utilize this money the
way I am going to instruct herein.

I want a church that will use this money to fundchurches, Orphanages, Research centers and widows propagating the Word

of God and to ensure that the house of God is Maintained.The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that

giveth. I took this decision because I don�t have any child that Will inherit this Money and my husband relatives are

not Christians and I Don�t want my Husbands hard earned money to be misused by Unbelievers. I don�t want a Situation

where this money will be used in an ungodly Manner,Hence the Reason for taking this bold decision.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I
am going to be in the Bosom of the Lord, Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my

peace. i need telephone Communication in this regard because of my health and Because of the presence of my husbands

relatives around Me always. I don�t want them to
know about this Development.

With God all things are possible. As soon As I receive your reply my
attorney shall give you the contact of The bank. I will Also issue you a letter of authority that will empower You as

the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my Shepherd. My

happiness is that I lived a life of a Worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord Must serve him in spirit

and truth, Please always be Prayerful all through your life.

Any delay in your Reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or
Christian individual for this same purpose. Please Assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated Herein.

I look towards hearing from you.Please Contact me through my private
email Address:

Remain blessed in the name of
the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

MRS ROSEMARY BROWN

Ok. So it is time to introduce Boris O�Maley aka BOFH. Below you can also see the forwarded message from BOFH to

Alfred. This was my first attempt to get a trophy from him.

Quote:

From H3rold Phon3y
To "Bank Of America" >
Subject Fwd: Regarding the transfer of the money
Hello Mr. Estanislao,

I am afraid I cannot send you the money yet. My brother Boris, who is in
charge of authorizing the transfer, first would like to have proof of
you being a man of god.
I would have an idea about that. I believe a picture of you, holding a
sign with his nickname would convince him. His nickname is "BOFH"
(that�s the initials of his name).
So please take a picture of yourself holding a sign where there is
"BOFH: rm my files!" clearly and well readable written on it. This
message "rm my files!" is computer language to "transfer the money".
Brother Boris also is our computer guy in the church so please make the
picture large and nice, I know that he hates any kind of image
manipulation (he considers this to be a "lie" and that is clearly a sin,
which a man of god would never do) and this would mean that he will
never ever authorize the transfer.
I am looking forward to receive this proof from you. As soon as Boris
authorizes this transfer, we will start the transfer to you so that you
can get that document for us. I honestly believe that Boris might be
that happy about the picture that he might even add 500$ bonus to you
for your efforts.

God bless you

Thank you for the documents, but this is not what I have asked for. If I
show these to Boris, then I know he will only get mad at me. I have to
tell you that Boris is a really angry old man and I do not want to mess
with him too much. It is always hard for us to calm him down, when he
gets angry. However I know him for many many years now, and therefore I
know best, what pleases him. Remember: He is the only person who can
authorize this transfer. As I told you in my last mail, I am sure the
only thing that would persuade him to authorize the money is a picture
as mentioned. Please do this soon, we don�t have time to waste.

Dear Alfred,

What have you done? I have NEVER ever seen BOFH as mad as he has been
before. He mentioned something like "what does this guy think he is
doing?". He even used some words, that I don�t even dare to repeat. I
had no idea, that a man of god even knows that kind of words! Alfred,
you really made him angry. He said he never wants to hear from you
again. I am not sure if we can convince him to cooperate with us. We
need to surprise him.
You might have seen from his name that BOFH is Irish. Next weekend the
most important holiday of the Irish is coming up: St. Patricks day. In
case you don�t know about it, here is some information about this day:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_Day

So what should we do to surprise him? Well I thought about this:
Take a picture of yourself dressed up like this:
Wear green clothes and wear a green hat like this one:
http://www.partysupplyshop.co.uk/st_patricks_day_images/hat_leprechaun.JPG
Please hold a sign that says: "419 for the Irish" to show him, that
the monestary of the 419 prayers loves the Irish.

I think this is the only way to convince him, that you are a man of god
and a man who respects him and his Irish catholic roots.
Do not mess this up. It is REALLY important that you dress green and
wear a green hat. I guess this will make him happy and then he will
authorize the money for you.
Send the picture to me first, so that I can tell you if it is ok, or
not. Don�t waste time please, we don�t have much time! You know, I am on
your side, and that I want this transfer to happen. Please don�t let me
down, I really try to help you here!

BOFH sent to me to our head monestary. They found his choice of words
very disturbing and not worthy for a man of god. When they faced him
with their concerns he replied with very very bad words. Our head
monestary had no choice but to excommunicate him and send him away from
the monestary. This means, that currently we have no head of accounts
anymore. There however will be a meeting on monday, where the new head
of accounts in the monestary will be elected. This might bring our

(after asking my mentor about it) I didn�t use this password and didn�t access any of his accounts with it or even

tried to. My mentor passed it on to someone at 419legal. And I promise not to do it again. Of course I deleted the

passwords here.

"Them" is a pretty funny expression for a computer program. I would
rather call them "it", as you are corresponding with a computer program
there.
Binary is the numeral system used by computers. Here you can find more
information on this. But as a banker, you must know numeral systems
pretty good anyways.

Hello Alfred,

You might have noticed, that I have stopped the transaction. I thought about this whole thing. I think you still owe me

a picture of yourself. I�ve got thrown out of the monestary because you bullshitted me with that fake picture. Even

though Herold authorized the transfer, I am still able to stop it. Herold doesn�t know that I still have access to the

accounting system.
It is quite simple now: YOU send me a picture of yourself holding a sign with this written on it (it is binary for

BOFH)
01101101
01110101
01100111
01110101

Ok.....and don�t even dare to bullshit me again with a fake picture. I want a BIG CLEAR picture of yourself with that

sign. If you send me a fake picture, I will cut 500$ from the 2000$ to transfer. If you try to tell Herold about this,

I will cut another 500$ from the 2000$. I have access to his email and can read everything there, so don�t even try.

Make your choice,
