And any mail like this kind of transaction, please don't reply to it, because the bank monitoring team may contact you with another name and different proposal to see whether you will respond to it, so for such a mail, don't reply, forward it to me so that I will direct you correct Ok.

Got this in my third email from a lad. He's a crafty bastard, the only excuse I've had for months is that "they are jokers". Has anyone else been told this one before?

Yes, what they told you is very common, almost word for word what I have seen so many times before. It's just the lad putting you off in case you receive other scam emails Wink

I had a lad who told me the same thing, then replied to me from a different addy. Laughing

No, I did not close the account, guess someone else did. Worked out perfectly though, my character is completely paranoid now and needs him to prove he is who he says he is. Laughing

OOOH! that could be a fun modality. If a lad sends you a letter like the above, at some future point (preferably when the lad is well off script and totally hooked) get his account closed, then when he tries to continue the scam from another account, make him jump through all sorts of hoops to "prove" his identity.......

I have also seen that kind of "Bank Monitoring Committee" shite from my ex email pal in Burkina Faso.

Quote:

AS YOU HAVE APPLIED TO THE BANK NOW, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE OUR BANK

MONITORING COMMITTEE WILL BE TRYING YOU WITH THE SAME BUSINESS PROPOSAL I SENT TO

YOU WITH DIFFERENT NAMES,DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF MONEY,TO

ENABLE THEM TO KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE THE REAL NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED CUTOMER.

SO YOU DON�T HAVE TO REPLY TO THEM,BECAUSE IF YOU DO OR REPLY TO THEM IT WILL

JEOPARDIZE THIS BUSINESS.IF YOU RECEIVEED ANYTHING LIKE THAT YOU SEND IT BACK TO

ME.

AGAIN,ANYTHING YOU RECEIVED FROM THE BANK YOU SEND IT BACK TO ME, SO THAT WE WOULD

NOT MAKE A MISTAKES,IF IT IS THE ONCE TO FILL I WILL HELP YOU AND FILL THEM.

@Ambdrvr2 We do not close lad email addies. Phonelads are fair game though.

Well, i think you should give him what he asks for, set up an auto forward on a catcher account, so he gets forwarded every single one of these 'joker' emails!!

Always fun to do, is make the lad think he is being watched.

Quote:

Dear xxxxxxxx, I must urge you not to proceed with xxxxxxx as i know them personally and they are not to be trusted, you know you can trust me, as i made your $90 into $350

throw that into your return email and watch all hell break loose, you will need the lad speak tools, as the reply will basically be in ladspeak, and lots and lots of cursing!

One twist i liked to use was "crooked cop" i have no idea if a lad ever did go to the police station and ask for a "keg of the crooks drugs for my poor ass" the codeword for the crooked cop response would be "sure, its snows in japan you know" and he had to reply "and the ski-ing is good in paris"

they go hand in hand, you can play a fake lad on the lad or a crooked cop, and have your lad hang round somewhere he really shouldnt.
