Renowned lawyer?

Is he going to hire Phoenix Wright? Bribe Manfred von Karma (a silver fox, but irking him is a bad idea....)?

Oh god I just got a bait idea!

I need advice on how to respond to the request for full name, personal address and phone number.

^^^ Name can be pretty much any you like, just don't copy rest of the information from an existing person.

Address is trickier one. You must find an non-existing address that is still convincing even if the lad checks it (i don't think they usualy do) with Google earth or similar service. Either choose some remore road and figure out the numbering plan to it or take some street and see what is the last address in it and just add a few to it. Just remember that there is a remote possibility that a lad will arrange someone to visit you with harm in mind so try to make it so that they won't visit anyone else either!

Phone number can be a some prepaid number in your posession. You don't need to use it but it can be source of amusement. Most of the safaris have been enabled by the phone communications with the lad.

I am down to my scammer still asking for id (which I will continue to send an unopenable document) and a phone number.

Do I need to go buy a prepaid phone or is there another way to do this?

Thx, Zamby

Dear Duke,

I want to inform you that I have completed the perfection of your provided details and I also tried my best to met with a Lawyer that will be helping us to obtain all the vital documents that will be presented to the Bank which will enable them to commence proceedings on the fund transfer. The name of the Lawyer is Barrister Bayo Ojo of Bayoojo Chambers. His office address is at Onafeko House, 200 Igbosere Road, Lagos Island, Lagos, Nigeria. His direct telephone number is +234 803 648 3911. He made me to understand that the documents needed are: AFFIDAVIT OF CLAIM, CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP and TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE. According to him, the AFFIDAVIT OF CLAIM will cost us the sum of $80 while the CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP will cost the sum of $400 and the TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE will cost the sum of $1,200. He went further to say that his professional fee is $1,500.

So, please get back to me as soon as you receive this message and let us put our heads together on how to get him the money to enable him proceed with the procurement of these documents.

I urgently wait for your response.

Regards,
Mr. M

Here comes the fun:

Quote:

Dear Doke,

Thanks for your mail D0ke. Yes, of course, success will be ours soon. Like I did informed you in my previous mail, the total cost of the vital documents together with the Lawyer's fees would be $3,180. And the Lawyer is waiting to receive the fees from us to enable him procure the documents and submit them to the Bank so that they can proceed with the fund transfer proceedings. Now, I will try and look for half of the fee which is $1,590 while you also send the other balance part of $1,590 directly to him via his Accounts officer's details he provided to me.
So, do find details of the Lawyer's Accounts officer below:

Name: Igbari Adhere Tony
City: Lagos
Country: Nigeria
Amount: $1,590
Test Question: In God
Test Answer: We Trust
Reference Number: .............
Sender's Name: ................
Sender's Address: .............

I will advice that you send the money to him via the MoneyGram and in two batches since the maximum limit allowed to be received in Nigeria by MoneyGram or Western Union is $1,500.

Hopefully, I will be able to make my $1,590 available to the Lawyer tomorrow. So, do try your very best to send your own part to him between today and tomorrow so that he can proceed without further delay since I would want the fund transfer to have been concluded by next week.

I will be applying for a casual leave next week to enable me prepare for my trip to the United States for the sharing of the proceeds. I do hope you can make an arrangement of where I will be staying prior to my arrival?

Meanwhile, do find the Lawyer's email address: [email protected] and his telephone number is: +234 803 648 xxxx. His office address is at Onexxx House, 200 Igbose Road, Lagos Island, Lagos - Nigeria. You can contact him from your end too and send the payment details to him directly. I will also like to have a copy of the payment details too please.

I urgently wait to read from you. Do have a wonderful day.

Regards,
Mr. Mallxm Um

An anxious scammer:

Dear Doke,

How are you doing today D? May I know if you have sent your own part of the documents fee to the Lawyer? Please update me.

Again, I want him producing paper. Asking for id earlier in the bait helps I think.

Mr Lawyer:

Quote:

Sirs,

over here we require a invoice before we pay something, then we get an reciept. even there should be a copy of the certificate for taxes, change of ownership and the claim certificate.

I have taken the cash out of the bank to go to moneygram but need the papers

thank you and let's finish this as soon as possible so we can all benefit.

From Mr Mallom:

Quote:

Thanks for your mail. No, the Lawyer will only issue us a receipt after receiving the payment. He does not need to issue an invoice. After receiving the payment, he will proceed to obtain all the documents needed and send some of the copies to you and submit others to the Bank to enable them process the fund transfer.

Already, I have paid $1,590 to his office this morning and he is waiting to receive a payment details of the other balance half of $1,590 from you. So, send the $1,590 to the Lawyer today so that he can go for the needed documents tomorrow.

Please remember to send the money in two batches of $1,200 and $390 in the second batch. Here is the information he gave to me.

Mr Malom:

Quote:

well over here we require invoices or statements. for all of those things before we pay them. There should be some papers or documents for the claim affadavit, change of ownership the the tax clearance certificat.

I will email the lawyr and ask again for those documents

I have the cash ready to go to the moneygram office when i get the invoices.

Surely this will generate some useless papers.

I want useless papers:

Dear Doke,

Thanks for your mail Doke. I can understand you. Immediately I received your mail, I called the Lawyer on the telephone to get you all that you demanded of him and he promised to get back to you today. As soon as he gets back to you, please do let me know.

Regards, Mr U

More pressure:

Quote:

i don't know mr U. It seemed odd that I didn't get any paperwork. There should a tax certificate to sign or something. Did you get a receipt for your payment? Maybe you can send me a copy of that.

Thanks for help, D

Also, since they promise a receipt and Mr U has 'paid' his share shouldn't he have been issued a receipt? I think I want a copy of that as well.

Attn: Duke U

Please be informed that we received a telephone call from Mr. Mallom U this morning demanding that we should send to you our invoice as well as other necessary vital information needed that will be used to obtain all the necessary documents required for the transfer of your fund. Based on the instruction, we went immediately to the various offices to get all the necessary forms together and they are attached to this mail with a copy of our invoice. Please be informed once again that we immediately demand that you send the balance $1,590 to us today so that we can proceed with the procurement of all the needed documents this Friday.

As for the tax clearance form, please make sure you only fill out the appropriate space provided and leave any you do not understand about.

Please make sure you send the balance $1,590 via MoneyGram in two batches and to the same information we sent to you. However, find the details once again below please:

I have papers now, just need to remember how to post them here. Safely of course.

I will be waiting for an update from you later in the day.

I'm thinking printing the forms somewhere and then stating that I mailed them via traditional mail. As members say here, rinse and wash or wash and rinse.

It's not an exciting bait but wasting his time is the idea I think. He's still waiting:

Quote:

Dear Duke,

Thanks for your mail. Please try and do that without much delay as the Lawyer is waiting to receive them from you to enable him proceed. So, I implore to try your best to get them done today as well as making sure you send the $1,590 to him via the details sent to you. It is very important that we get this affair concluded without much delay. So, you must be fast about it.

I will be waiting to read from you later today.

I think u r doing just fine! Any time you can waste is good. Nice excuses about not being able to print etc. If they are still waiting for money, you are doing exactly what you should be doing! If they think you are on the hook, they will wait. Really it is them on your hook! Greedy sods!

Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:44 pm

Remember Zamby21 you don't have to follow their lead all the time. Especially after you have them on the hook you can then throw in your own curve balls. My latest one is to tell them I'm due to got to the hospital for chemotherapy for a brain tumour and that the doctor warns that I may have short term memory problems afterwards.

Taking into account that most Lads themselves have short term memory problems, as long as you remind them of the medical condition, it opens up the possibilities for much more time wasting and fun. Floods and snow storms can also present other problems or you can break your arm and the ambulance can't get to you due to the floods so you're having to type left-handed and it's making 'tipong daffocolt'.

Then mention that you've had to use the WU phone service to send the Wuxfer but the weather is so bad it affected the phone line. Tell him you think the third number was a three or an eight. The receipt will arrive in the post when it can get through to you.

Don't go too mad too soon or all at once but, above all, create a relationship and talk to him like a friend you'd do anything for and you can get away with a lot.

Never being one to take my own advice I've thrown a brain tumour, hospital visit, chemotherapy, possible memory problems, snowdrifts, a Russian aupair/nurse and a booze up into my bait/post regarding a $58 MTCN.

The scammer's mail to me was begging for it and if it makes me chuckle, that's enough for me. Laughing

The benefit is, if he goes along with it and I have no reason to believe he won't, I have a hundred weird ways to take the bait.
