A lad who claims to be in Ireland, wants me to phone a UK bank
I told him that I didn't have a phone at home & my work one only works for local & national numbers.
So I asked if he had a website (for purely business interests!!!!!) that I could register with instead!!!

Here is what he said:

Quote:

Modus operandi

There is a modus operandi, with which this institution operates, so we shall not deal with you if you do not adhere to the specific directives.

We cannot send you the financial institution�s websites for two reasons: (1) it is utter absurdity for you to feign excuses of inability to make telephone calls. As an institution, we are to advise you on the process of obtaining the funds, so we care less if you cannot make international telephone calls from your office telephone facility. There are other touch telephone facilities you could use to access the funds and reach the accounts personnel in charge, Ivan Baker. (2) We cannot give the financial institution�s website to all and sundry, because some rogues are hacking and cloning websites. We have such experiences in the past. Thus, we must know that you are truly ready to possess the funds before we can lead you to the bank site and a private intranet, as it relates to the funds possession.

In this light, you are advised to follow the directives accordingly.

Yours truly,

Cheeky fecker........looks like a letter of complaint to his "superiors"!!!!!!

Tell him you tried to call. Tell him someone named Theophilus answered, argued and fussed and cursed you, and denied that the mugu was at that number.

Demand an explanation and an apology!

Slap him and tell him that he has to work by YOUR modus operandi, since he was the one who contacted YOU to help him. Put him back in place Smile

You could always go for a very belligerent reply incensed by his arrogant and direspectful manner and demanding an immediate apology - pointing out that your servants call your Sir and you don't expect people in your employ to adopt such an overblown and pompous manner.

Could be risky (though you'll have to slap this one down sooner or later) - but can be fun to back up a Lad Very Happy

You have nothing to lose - he does, and it's so nice to have a humbled Lad. If it comes off, the whole bait changes in your favour.

Slap him first. He is too rude. I wanted to bait this guy just to have the opportunity to tell him to go to hell.

To Les Noise - The headers originated in Nigeria, I'm in work now so I don't have access to my gmail account
He's pretending to be two people, first one is a nice old lady called Maureen Haughy - who is the widow of one of the most powerful political leaders Ireland ever had - she never (surprise surprise) replies to me in Irish - despite the fact that she would be a "cainteoir Gaeilge" (Irish Speaker), but she is always polite & friendly

In my first bit of correspondence (to Maureen) I did express a reservation about the intelligence of the gentleman (as I had spoken to him on the phone, this was an Irish number he had originally provided - now its changed to a UK one) and suggested that she shouldn't use someone as dim-witted as him

To cut to the chase - I'll PM you the headers tonight

I did of course slap him - not too hard, I told him I had a phobia about using public telephones and told him that I would not deal with him until I got an apology. I also mailed the sweet old dear & demanded his supervisors details so I could right a letter of complaint

But like all of them - they'll just ignore it and move on!

I like GPyle's idea. start out with you sorry mutha f'er and continue like that til the end. Then send a nice quicki email "to him again accidentally" to a ficticious character saying you just emailed the jerk and he wouldn't be seeing a single dime of your money and you will donate all your $$$ to her instead.

Well, if it's a UK bank that he wanted you to phone, tell him you phoned it - not some poxy mobile number.
Tell him that you got the number from the Yellow Pages.
