So I got this in my catcher:

Quote:

Dear friend,

I am Mrs. Carolyn Lande , I am a US citizen, 51 years Old, I reside

here in America My residential address
is as follows.

<address>, I am one of those that

took part in the Compensation in

Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over

$38,000 while in the US, trying to get
my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C with all my compensation

documents, And I was directed by
the ( F B I) Director to contact Agent Mary Elvis, who she a

representative of the ( F B I ) and a member of

the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently in Africa, and I contacted

her and he explained
everything to me. she said whoever is contacting us through emails

are fake.

she took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation

payment. Right now I am the most happy
woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $2.5

Million Us Dollars.

More over Agent Mary Elvis, showed me the full information of those

that are yet to receive their payments

and I saw your name and email as one of the scam victims, that is why

I decided to email you to stop

dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only

making money out of you. I will advise
you to contact Agent Mary Elvis.

You have to contact her directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name : Agent Mary Elvis
Email:<email>

You are hereby advised to contact Agent Mary Elvis with the following

information's below

1. Your Names in full
2. Your Occupation
3. Your Residential Address
4. Your Place and date of birth
5. Your Telephone and fax Number
6. Your id

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting

you and telling you that your fund is
with them,it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking

advantage of you and they will dry you up until
you have nothing.

Once again stop contacting those people,I will advise you to contact

Agent Mary Elvis so that she can help
you to Deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that

will be turning you around asking for
different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
Mrs. Carolyn Lande,
<address and phone number>

I haven't responded yet, but I checked the address given and it is in fact an actual resdential address in California. Why give me that if she only wants me to contact this "agent"?

There's a few of those posted at SW.

The address is real, and most likely belongs to a previous victim (possibly just picked at random, but unlikely), but the phone number will belong to the lad.

It gives a bit of legitimacy to the story - anyone checking will find that the person does exist and if they call the number given they'll connect to someone claiming to be that person.

I got one almost identical in format, different in minutiae, which arrived in one of my RL accounts only the other day.

I have received a few of these in my catcher account.

As an aside is anyone else receiving 100's+ a day in their catcher accounts. 50% of which are using my baiter name and personalizing?

They seem organized. Ugh.
