first a little background info:
I've been working on this guy for about 2 weeks, so he finally asks for money and for me to send it thru WU. i make up a mtcn(?) number and send it to him, this is what he sends me today:

Quote:

> Dear Max
It beats my imagination to see you behave like this.how can you send me
an invalid information from western uion this does'nt tell good of
you.carron juan was embarrased and insulted at the western union office
yesterday whe she went for the funds for their ticket fees when she was
told not match found meaning that the information and the mtcn was
invalid,this attitude is on called for.
Please mr Max i have not seen you before but i believe that for the fact
that the depositor deposited this fund in your name,you must be a good
and sincere christain why behaving like this.I told you cartigorigally
that i dont need your money,the money you are sending is for the
officials ticket fees which is an agreement reached before you agreed to
send the money.good and fine if you know that you dont want this packega
please kindly indicate to us by writing to withdraw every arrangement for
the delivery.
If you actually paid the money like you said then scan and send me the
payment slip or better still state the payment informations as follows
and send to me.
1 sender's name and address.
2.reciever's name.
3.valid mtcn.
You have to understand the i am doing my official duty and i am as well
folling the officail proceedings.It is our duty to serve you right.pls be
good to us.
yours faithfully
Joseph

So here is what i replied:

Quote:

i must apologize, my assistant is the one who handled this western union transaction. she mixed up all the information. i fired her today because of it, she will now have to find another way to support her 6 children and pay for her school loans, but that's what she gets for not doing her job right. ANYWAY...
i figure it will be easier to just send you a scan of the western union form, that way there will be NO mistakes, and NO MORE delays.

ofcourse i sent him a WU form that is blurred(thx to the person who made it) we'll see what he says.
any suggestions on what i should do next?

There are a lot of well known options for this.

1. Find a DLL in your system that is about 1MB in size and copy it. Rename the copy to wureceipt.jpg and send that. Bitch slap him for being so incompetant that he cannot open it.

2. Send nothing and tell him that you did.

3. Send it "secure" Western Union (there is no such thing), requiring him to actually go to a particular WU office of your choosing.

4. Send him this: wureceipt.jpg

It may be too late for this now, but lads should always fill out the homeland security forms before you can send them anything.

i like the "secure" approach. i'll give that a shot.

The dll renaming sounds nice. But how can I change the properties of the file.
When you open the properties you can see the original filename.
Any suggestions?

Sounds as if you don't know your way around computers too well. So take care not to trash your system while you're trying to have a bit of fun.

First _copy_ a file somewhere. You're probably using windows. "Explore" a directory, select a .dll file and drag it to your desktop holding down the [ctrl] key. You should see a little + sign near the cursor while you're dragging the file. This indicates that you are making a copy. Once you release the mouse button the copy is made. Then select that _copy_ of the file and press [F2]. Rename the file "passport.jpg" or whatever it should be.

Take care and if you are not sure how to do this safely, just go for the "attachment removed" modality.

Hope that helps,

My dear porvporv

That is just copying of the file.
When you rightclick on the file you get a menu where on the bottom there is properties, click that and you get a box with 4 tabs.
One tab is version. In there you can find the original file name. This says ***.dll or whatever file you used. My question is how to change that.

Thanks

Bubba

you dont need to go that far. copy the .dll file onto ur desktop as stated above. then right click and go to rename. then type in "passport.jpg" or whaterver you want to rename it. that will change the icon into a picture icon. send that in the mail and it will look like a jpeg file.

dont apologize, slap him for being rude just because of your little mistake ...

Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 10:43 pm

it seems that my firing the assistant bothered him...

Quote:

Dear max,
I did not ask you to fire your assistance i only asked you to send me the
full payment informations from the western union which was given to
you.it does not necessary mean that you will have to scan the payment
slip to me,what i only need from you is
1.senders name and address.
2.recievers name which i have already known
3.control number(MTCN)
I also what you to know that it is not good to sack your assistant whom
you said have six children.i find it difficult to believe that because
american citizens to give birth to such number,anyway the ball is in your
court.
i await the informations.
yours faithfully
Joseph

so i reply:

Quote:

"The ball is in your court"?????????? WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A TEAM EFFORT???
these are OUR balls, ok??? the court belongs to both of us, you are in this as much as I am.

I have to call my assistant that i fired to get this information because she ran out of my office after i fired her and the paper was in her purse. as soon as i get this information from her i shall give it to you.
ALSO-she is not an american citizen, she is from nicaragua and it is a custom of their's to have many children. so please apologize for your presumptuousness.

Max

nice slap.

however i wouldnt have bothered with the "please" lol

Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 5:39 pm

^^^i guess i need to remember that im not dealing with "normal" people.

So i get a reply from my lad, apparently i need to be schooled on scammer terminology:

Quote:

Dear Max

You dont seem to understand the meaning of the ball is in your court,i did not mean to insult you.what i mean is that the fund belongs to you and it is my duty to fulfil it based on the agreement we hard with the depositor.even if your assistance is no way to be found,you can as well call the western union office where the fund was send and ask for the information.

My dear max time is not on our side i really what us to conclude this transaction before hand.i also believe that the officials are ready and willing to make the trip to your country.i know that one day will meet and become friends.please take my advice and send the money again then when you get hold of your assistance you will retrive your money back from western union because of time.

I am still willing to work for you and with you.

Once again the ball is in your court means the package/fund is yours and once you comply with the directives everything will be delievered to you in your country.

I remain your friend and protocol offoicer

Now it's time to start whacking him back with sports metaphors of your own:

Listen, there's two outs in the ninth...
Do not move the goalposts on me.
We are nearing the finish line.
This one's a slam dunk.
So far, you're batting .000

Etc., etc.
