Im just working on my first scambait so im totally new to this. Anyway after about a week of writing, this scammer sent me an application letter, and he wants me to open up a new email address and send the letter from that new address to [email protected]. The letter is an application for payment, in the guise of someone who apparently died that no one apparently knows about.
However I dont want to send the letter because then "I" would be commiting 419 fraud. I even asked the scammer "you could just do this yourself and ask for my account details to put on it" but he insists that it has to be by my own hand. He hasnt asked for advance fees, so im wondering what the hell he is trying to acheive.
Im thinking about sending the thing just to see what happens, cos it could just be another scam address who is expecting me, or maybe not. Im not that stupid, so what do I do?

You're Australian - tell him to 'fark off' Very Happy

in a kind fluffy way

You're the boss - he contacted you - he wants your money

Make HIM open up a new account now he is behaving so strangely

Make HIM write out the letter for you to sign - then you send him back one of our famous unopenable dll files or one of our vista error messages and slap him if he cant open it - which he wont be able to do.

Once his ass is bruised he'll behave better. If he goes - pick up another

They're trash - treat them accordingly

Rule #1.
The Lad does all the work.
You simply say that you are not comfortable with that arrangement. Make up excuses.
Spin tall tales to get him off script and take control.

Say your not doing it, if he dumps you there are plenty more mugus in the sea.

I like to send them this in the body of my reply...

<application_form.jpg> or whatever their attachment is called. Of course they can't open it, but you can, so what's their problem?

Alternatively, just send them back the blank form say here it is completed. Of course they say it is blank so re-send it again - blank.

Next tell them you are having problems opening attachments due to a virus, so can they send it in the body of their e-mail rather than as an attachment? Just type in random junk and send it back. Another virus must have corrupted your data.

Next send them a .dll file which of course is useless. There are loads of options.

As already said, they do the work, we don't.
