I've attached a picture of myself. I'm not 100% crazy, at least that's what my psychiatrist said last time I went for my injections. I'm not allowed to have a telephone myself as my local company banned me from having one after I kept calling them to tell them my telephone doesn't work. But I can give you my number of where I live with my friend Ron, he has a telephone and you can call me there although you would have to ask for Ron first, or Ronald as he likes to be known to people he doesn't know. Ask for Ronald, and he will pass the telephone to me. Ronald's number is 44 1723 *** ***. The house number is ** Huntriss Row, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK, Y011 2ED.

If Ronald is not there can you ask to be through to Big Mac, then he can put it through to me.

Hope to speak soon my friend,

gecko2.

Have a guess where Abedi is going to be calling?

You know, your going to get a few people angry on this site.
I'll let you know why.

Confused

Innocent 3rd party involved. Confused

There is also the problem that we would dearly love to hear the conversation between the best that the UK fast-food industry has to offer versus the best of the lads from Lagos.

Ooops, can't of read the rules correctly. I apologise, won't do it again. If you want to delete the thread by all means do.

Get a mentor.
They're full of ideas and can give you really helpful ideas!

I do have the address on one of my posts of a 3rd party, but I dont think there is a lad alive who will march into Greater Mancheter Main Police Station and start asking questions. I don't credit lads with much intelligence, but hey, they can surprise you!

Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2005 4:15 pm

Please drop the bait. Send the lad an email right now telling him you are not interested and goodbye.

This may or maynot be of some help.

Question.
What if the scammer wants to talk on the telephone?

Answer.
Tell them that as a youngster your hearing was damaged after a serious illness. Tell them you're deaf. Personally I use the deafness excuse, but follow it up with a line such as "I am able to use a TextPhone". "If you have access to a TextPhone then I will be able to speak to you, otherwise communication will have to be via email only". Of course it is extremely unlikely that the scammers have a TextPhone (A TextPhone basically lets people type messages to each other across a standard phone line) so that should get you off the hook. Even though they won't have a TextPhone, your kind offer to speak to them via one will ease their mind that you are at least making an effort with them.

You can of course sign up for a voicemail account, though of course this would make the communication one way. This is good as for one , they won't be able to talk to you in person, and two, it costs them money for the overseas call. Again, for voicemail services in your area, do a Internet search. Two recommended US based voicemail services are www.k7.net and www.J2.com both of which also combine a fax service, all totally free (as I write!). If you want a UK based set-up, then I recommend www.yac.co.uk which is a great free voicemail/fax service.

Another trick you can try is to have scammer calls anonymously forwarded to your mobile phone (or your landline if you are feeling brave). I use a service called FlexTel (www.flextel.com). You get provided with a new telephone number which you can pass onto your scammer. He dials the number and then this is anonymously forwarded to your real mobile/landline number. You get to make the scammer pay a small fortune on international calls, and the scammer gets even more convinced that he has found a real victim!

Much better than involving an innocent third party.

I use www.k7.net and it forwards any messages to an email address, very handy for posting audio bytes of your favourite mugu.

Anyway, have fun and run into any problems ask any of us. If we don't know the answer we probably know who does.

Also search the site for ideas based on what others are or have done with similar mugus.

Happy baiting, and good luck.
