I'm no pig-collecting champion but got a few new lads on the train to Oinksville. Just a sheer joy to see a lad write this to me:

Quote:

Thank you for the information, if by the end of today we don't receive the funds in our account you will have to contact your bank to request for a call back of the funds then we can provide alternative banking information in Asia for a successful transaction.

I think he is a prophet, and that indeed I shall be requesting for a call back of the funds so that he can provide alternative piggy information in Asia for another unsuccessful transaction.

The setup: I maneuvered him into requesting a bank transfer from me (offering to pay by Paypal or Unionpay - then "backing down" to bank transfer). So I was happy to comply but immediately informed him that my bank requires a local government approval for international transfers over (60% of the requested amount). But no problem, I've been there before, does his company have a second account?

This got me piggy number 2 and I immediately "transferred" the money from my bank in China, told him it should be in his accounts by Friday (today). Yesterday i jumped the gun, telling him my bank had called me and transfer #2 had failed (but #1 was fine and should be confirmed today). He immediately gave me pig #3, and then the follow-up email above. So I have two different transfers on the go with the same lad, each one earning different pigs.

We'll see what happens when the business moves to Asia. I suspect it will go smoothly then.
