This truly is a mini-bait. I'm mostly publishing it because 1) it breeds more realistic expectations among newbies to see a few baits fall on their faces and 2) I'd really like to see some baiter pull this modality off.

Farouk Usman makes contact.

I am immediately interested because of the website deading possibilities, mostly.

I can't be buggered to look it up, but it either was deaded by the time I got there or it died a quick death. Anyway. I reply.

I already have an offshore account with another bank in the Netherlands. We can use that one instead. No need to bother Mr. Armstrong. And could you please stop typing in all caps? That's very hard to read, and it's considered rude here in the United States. It is considered shouting. Reading big blocks of all caps gives me a headache.

Dance, lad, dance! Come up with amusing reasons why I can't use my pre-existing offshore account!

Oh, but Farouk proves to be a mindreader. Or his agent is. Or something.

Dear madam,

Re:Offshore/Online bank account.

Your mail on the above subject matter refers.

The offshore account you said you have does not comply with the one you are expected to open with our affiliate paying agent,because,your bank is not one of our appointed agent for foreign payment.

You are by notice,require to comply with the directives of our agent so that payment modalities for your contract payment will be finalised.

I am directed to inform you that,failure to comply with the requirements for opening this account within seven(7) working days from the date of the receipt of our payment notice,your contract payment foreign allocation will be withdrawn,since presently we have so many contractors on the waiting list and scarcity of forex.

Be guided with these instructions.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr Farouk Usman.

Right. So the bank I haven't named yet is definitely not on your list? Slap!

Quote:

How would you know my account does not comply? Are you psychic? Do you read minds? I haven't told you who I have the account with. What is the name of your appointed agent?

I'm beginning to see the extreme incompetence that led to these contracts not being paid out, then.

Hannah

Sadly, Farouk proves to have no spine or originality or fight at all. Despite my best efforts to poke him back to life (or at least get an email calling my character insane), I don't hear from him after sending this.

Quote:

No thanks to you and your complete and total incompetence, I secured a lawyer and successfully collected my contract payment. And they paid it into my pre-existing offshore account. Fuck you, you stupid bastard.

Hannah

But, as Easter season nears, and many of my presumed dead lads seem to be coming back to me of late, maybe I'll have this one "rise from the tomb" as well. Darn. I was hoping he would do many a song and dance trying to find an alternate way to get money out of me. But it didn't work. Aw, snap.
