Lads have always apparently had problems with invoices - confusing them with receipts a lot of the time - and when you get one, it tends to be of the quality shown here: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=155013

Recently one Lad took it a step further. It began when the CBN's Mart1ns 3ze contacted about his contract payment. There was some discussion of the $5000+ that Mal had already paid, and the $1800 fee that was needed this time, and Mal finally wrote:

Quote:

This $1800 would be the third processing fee that I paid to your bank.
I want an invoice this time. I've taken too much on trust.

No bookie would give odds for the Lad's reaction (emphasis added):

Quote:

Your mail was received and the contents noted, of course you will be given an invoice after payment, have you�never been given an invoice over the previous payments you made?you are supposed to be given an invoice for proff of payment of any charges incase you are been askedto pay same your invoice will explain better.

Mal snapped back:

Quote:

Of course I will get a invoice BEFORE payment. I never asked for invoices for the previous payments before and I never got receipts for them either, which is why I want an invoice from you! Get one to me immediately - do you understand?

The Lad's reaction was... send the money to someone else:

Quote:

Further to our last email of saturday am in contact with the CBN account officer Mr�3kwea10r Bas1l Chukwud1 who travelled for official assignment in Anambra state of Nigeria to stay in two weeks said�you can aswel send the money to his secretary in his department.
NAME: JUST1N 0KWUD1R1 0K0R0.
ADDREES:TINUBU SQUARE LAGOS NIGERIA.
QUESTION:WHICH BANK.
ANSWER:CBN.
After sending you send the payment inofrmation to me so the payment will commence by our affliate bank before 24hours.

Well that just won't do!

Quote:

I don't give a hairy rat's butt who you tell me to send the money to.
Without a gorram invoice you get no money! Do you understand me?

I got something for that...(emphasis added):

Quote:

Your email was received and we are attaching blank invoice to you when you make the payment it will be signed accordingly.

I had to slap him:

Quote:

I cannot believe that you would believe that this piece of crap is good for an invoice. Send me a proper one if you expect me to take you seriously.

Somehow I don't think they'll ever understand.

"No part of this invoice should be printed or renitted to any non reliable person"

Actually, that's the part that would have convinced me Laughing

I looked at that bit more closely... I'm half-convinced it's actually "non valuable person".
