My point was to get the scammer to think I am so stupid that I do not realize English is the language of Australia

A friend of mine was told, in an English speaking country that is not Australia, "Hey you're from England? You speak English well for a foreigner!"

Back to the original topic:

Dear Catherine Eddowes,

I don't really know what is happening, I have told you before of my mistake.

I want to know if you really want to receive this ATM gift from me, or you are trying to act on something else, because you keep on asking thesame question.

Mrs Eddowes, if I made a mistake from my word, you have to understand that I am so in hurry, that is why I make mistrake from my message, try to understand me.

I hope I will not receive another question from you.

Dear Bokoo Australian Sir:

You have to forgive me but you keep confusing me by using words that I don't know. I told you I only speak English. I don't speak Australian or Russian. So please only use English words with me from now on ok.

Now you have confused me again because you ask me if I "really want to receive this ATM gift from me, or you are trying to act on something else." What else would I be acting on? I already told you that I want to receive this ATM. But if I have to be able to understand Australian to use it I am in trouble because I only speak English.

So tell me, when I use the ATM at a Financial Bank will the instructions be written in Australian or English? Or Russian?

Sincerely,
Catherine Eddowes

^^^^ No, Stride came before Eddowes. Mary Jane Kelly would be next! Wink

Quck reply. Bokoo has no sense of humor. I guess it's time to go one to the bank.

Dear Catherine Eddowes,

I have received your quick mail sent, kindly contact financial Bank now, because I have already told them to issue you your ATM Card.

Finally, the bank will communicate you in English.

Regards
Prof.George Bokoi

Oh Bunnyrabbit, what a "ripping" tale! I guess that she'll be right "Jack".

(Oh damn, Hekate beat me to it, I should have read all of the messages.)

If we're lucky, it'll be some time before George Bokoi (of Australia) is Jack of Kate Eddowes...

If any other characters are required in your bait, may I offer the services of Montague John Druitt, barrister*? Or perhaps Dr Forbes Winslow could be persuaded to lend a hand?

*Actually he was a teacher; Inspector Abberline was misinformed.

Actually, he was both a barrister and a teacher. Macnaghten thought he was a doctor.

Has anyone ever had an ip resolve to OZ? I'm sure we are all itching to nail a local scammer.

Yep, sure have. And what was worse is that he was using the same ISP as me (Im in Australia). He even gave an Aussie prepaid mobile phone number for me to ring Shocked

Unfortunately the LEOs were not the slightly bit interested, or were my ISP, and he faded away, the mobile number was reissued to another person and I think he returned to Nigeria. When I had his number I tried to get him to head up to Sydney so I could set him up for some mugupics but he was very wary of leaving Melbourne.

Oh, and BTW I had some ripper King Prawns the other day, but they werent wasted on the barbie!
