There are two baits going. One lad is an ATM lad, the other is one of those lads that wants to get my "real" ATM card because the other guy is an imposter. I told the ATM guy that I was told he is a fraud and I will not be sending him the money.

His response:

Quote:

DHL AGENT, MR.SAMULA UBA.

Attn Please,Dudley Mopes,

I felt so disrespected and very disappointed in your statement, how could you be so nasty? So this is how you show appreciation to me after all I have done to ensure that your Consignment is safe, it’s so embarrassing I don’t know you can be so nasty and this what you have to say after all my effort to see that everything is finalized here to make sure you receive your consignment accordingly.

How could you assume that this to be Scam? Because of some imposters out there That claimed to be a Federal Republic of Nigeria Officer, since you said that you have cancelled the money that you sent to complete this delivering to your destination address, i want you to come at San Antonio International Airport Texas now so that i will hand all your payment files to you an go back to my Country. that is instruction from my Manager, because i forwarded the email you sent to me to him in Benin Republic because you have lost faith on this delivering focused to someone who has nothing to offer you as government Officer. He is an imposter for your information. this is my number to call immediately you arrive at this airport: (210)399-8749 Mr SAMULA UBA.

Urgent response is needed because here is very busy .

He wants me to go to San Antonio? Ok with me, should I try a safari? Anyone want to play along?

Yes, it's a valid San Antonio number. Hmm.

I'm in.

EDIT: He's very tired and on a free phone. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Wink

Second edit: I asked for "George." All I got was "Hello, hello?" from a very tired lad.
Third edit: Very tired lad calls back to tell me he doesn't know "George" but wants to know who I am. I'm just a friend looking for "George." He gets it and calls back only three more times. heehee

You then cal back with "I'm George - are there any messages for me?"

Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2013 5:45 am

^^You read my mind. Unfortunately it's my RL phone.
Wanna share? He sounds a bit on the edge.

ID'd himself as a banker. I had to shout because his phone is crappy. I'm still looking for my friend George, from whom I got the lad's phone number of course, and since we can't find George I wanted to know what kind of business they're in.

I said, "You know George, I never know what he's up to."

I really want to call him but not from my phone. My characters name is Dudley though so if anyone wants to run with that then go ahead. He should already be irritated since I sent him to the secure pts site to get his WU fee. Seems like he spent quite a while on there too Laughing

I really should call and see if he can meet me there. Tell him I will be there in two hours and then maybe have a little car trouble.
Is there a way to mask your phone number?

I'll give him a call ID'ing myself as Dudley.

*67 works for a North American land line but I would test it to make sure before jumping in. The receiver should get something like Unknown Number/Unknown Name or some variation depending upon the Tel-Co.

In the US, most mobiles do offer an iD blocker. Mine displays as "Restricted".

Wondering if anyone has called him recently. I haven't heard from him in over a day even though I promised to meet him at the airport today (though email, I have not called him).

Posted: Tue Nov 19, 2013 3:51 pm

^^ I called him just now. I got a generic "this customer cannot take your call at this time"
So I left a message saying "It's Dudley, dammit. I am having a panic attack... I am very upset. I am on my way to meet you and considering changing flights unless I can confirm you're meeting me there."

I'll keep you posted.

Cool, thanks Axil. Just got an email from him. He seems a little irate:

Quote:

i haven't heard from you as you said to come at this airport to confirm your delivering, for your information You are the one delaying the delivering because I have been doing everything possible just to show you how willing I am to make sure your Consignment is delivered to you successfully. But obviously you don’t deserve the assistance I gave to you because you don’t appreciate them and instead of planning how to get things resolved you chose to be making understatement that will yield nothing good. i want you to use the bellow information to resend the money to Benin Republic an get back to me with the MTCN, i cant be able to stay longer on the name of this delivering. you may call me now that am online.

Perhaps it was your phone call along with my saying I was in San Marcos. I responded:

Quote:

Hi,

I can lave San Marcos now and be at the airport to meet you in about 3 hours. I can bring the $150 with me. Will that do?

At this point I'm just irritating him as much as possible but it would be cool to make him travel a little. String him along for as long as possible

Hint, look into getting a SIP account. Using a softphone or hardware SIP adapter (ATA) Analog Telephone Adapter, or VOIP phone, with the right SIP provider, you can enter your own caller ID. This is mostly reserved for businesses. Keywords to learn more is trunk line, DID, PBX, SIP ATA, etc.

This is normal operation for a call center. Caller ID displays the 800 number if you want to call the company. The telemarketers have outgoing lines that can not ring in. They are configurable so they can place the correct call in number in the caller ID. This can be abused. In some places abusing it with a 3rd party number is a crime. Spoofing Microsoft, Police, FBI, White House, etc should never be done. Placing your cell number in it is OK as you own the number. A nickname is OK. For example having kids receive a call from Santa, North Pole is OK, unless used for bad reasons.

Maybe he got the feeling that he was being watched & chickened out.

Or, best case scenario. He flipped out and threw himself from a f*cking highway overpass. Smile
