Hi all!

I'm currently baiting a lad pretending to be Allen Large, offering me a $2,000,000 from his late wife's fund.

After he told me his heartbreaking story of his late wife and her vast lottery winnings, I decided to try and see will he stick to the script, or really read what I sent to him:

Quote:

Dear Mr Large,

I am deeply moved by your story of your late wife Violet and her fight with the deadly disease and her selfish decision to share the wealth and love with other people of Cybertron(O_o).
I was very saddened with your story and will do everything to help you with fulfilling the last wish of your wife Lilian (name is changed:)).

Although I'm not currently at home in the United States, I'll send you my address.

Dr Richard Dick Steele
Schlong Ave 69
5419 Icumalot St
Cuntburg WC2H 0BQ
020 78364872
UK

Once again, I thank you and promise that I will use this money in all the proper purposes, and to help the people in need of fulfilling your wife's dreamcunt.

I have a few questions:

Is this transaction completely legal?
Is there anything I should know about legal issues or transaction fees?
Is there a VAT on financial transactions applicable in Deutsches Reichsbank in Germany? (?!?! Smile

)

Please inform me If you need any more info.

Best regards,

Dick Steele

Today, I received next mail from the lad, still sticking to the script. Now he wants me to open an online bank account:

Quote:

The contact details and email of the Bank is below and you have to contact them immediately via email ([email protected]) or you can also reach the bank via phone as I have already inform them and they will be expecting to hear from you so that they can arrange on how the funds will be transferred to your local account in your country via an online Banking system, You have to provide them with every assistance the bank will need to effect the transfer to enable the funds released to you without delay. I want you to contact the bank stating only my deposit Reference Number: LTSB/AVL2010/28392/UK, your Full Name, your Residential Address and Phone Number..... For easy trace of my file.

Note that you “MUST” first open a new online account with the Bank to enable you receive our $2,000,000.00 USD in your new online bank account with the bank and this will also enable you transfer the funds from your online account with the bank to your local account in your country. i think the bank will explain more details to you as to how the transfer will be made. if you follow the instructions from the bank carefully within the next three (3) working days you will have this funds transferred to your account and available for use.

Ha! Lads never read the initial emails.

Feel free to try whatever! Each lad is different. I've had some drop me if I so much as hint anything out of the ordinary is happening, and others rise to the challenge. It probably depends on how desperate they are and how many times they've been baited.

Do what you think will be most entertaining to you and most annoying to the lads. If he drops you, grab another or start over from a different email Smile

Thanks for the tips, Redo, I will think of something...naughty:)

Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:35 pm

I decided to play along, so I contacted the illustrious Mr Oliver Mallich, Allen Large's account officer.

Of course, awestruck with such a large (no pun intended:)) amount of money, I naturally had some questions (in bold) for Mr Mallich, and to my surprise, he responded:

Quote:

So, what do you think my next move should be? I have a few ideas which I will get in motion tomorrow, or maybe even make them wait till Monday.

Posted: Tue Aug 20, 2013 1:14 pm

I decided to wait till Monday (yesterday) and sent the mail to the Oliver Mallich of the Lloyds TS Bank. Not long ago, I received another mail from him with possible options for me to chose the type of account.

Quote:

(1.) Applicants must have the initial opening deposit to set-up the type of account that he/she desires to operate; account set-up must take effect not later than nine working days after the submission of the completed Nonresidential form, otherwise the application will be turned down; thus the account would be terminated.

The services like Money Gram apparently are faster for the remittance of such initial opening deposits if an immediate set-up and activation of the account is required by the new customer, and such services are still generally accepted in the financial sector by various finance institutions not only in Europe; hence if you decide to use any of the above mentioned services it will be up to you.

Download, Complete and sign the Non Residential Account application form here with attached and forward it copies (together with any other relevant documents) via fax or email. Please include a photocopy of the pages in your passport showing your photo and signature, or a photocopy of your national identity card. For the verification of residency, please also enclose a copy of your utility bill. When you fill out the client profile you allow us to develop a customized investment strategy, and to assign you the adviser best suited to your needs.

Note: The initial deposit cannot be deducted from Mr. Allen’s Account, this is as a result of the insurance policy bond he placed on his account which makes it impossible for us to deduct any amount from his account unless the funds is transferred in full to the beneficiary’s account with our bank.

Kindly acknowledge this email and act as informed to enable this office serve you effectively.

Lloyds Tsb Banking Group Plc.

In the attachment there was some kind of bogus form in which I must fill my personal data with photo from my passport. Should I send him photo of Dick Steele or one of those forms scaned on broken scanner?

Hi, all!

The lad doesn't even bother to sign his mails, so he just sends me the parts of the script:

Quote:

Attn: Richard Steele

We are in receipt of your email and content well noted, you will have to print out the form fill, scan back to your computer and send it to us via email attachment.

Dick Steele doesn't know how to propperly scan the form, so I sent him just a blank page. Very Happy

Soon, there's another mail from Lloyds Bank:

Quote:

It's blank screen you will have to scan clearly and send it back again.

I'm currently thinking of some more vicious methods how to torment the youngster:) Smile

After several tries to succesfully send the form lad required, our friend Dick Steele sends him another scaned page. Again, it seem that ole Dickey can't seem to get the grasp of the modern technology:) Smile

The first try:

The second try. This time Dick forgot to fill the form:)

Third try. The scanner is apparently broken. Or not... Smile

Barely visible picture in the lower right corner of the form is ofTed Bundy:) Smile

Upon receiving the mail, the poor lad becomes frustrated:

Quote:

Dick Steele, It's not still clear it's fluctuating!!! PLEASE FILL OUT THIS INFORMATIONS

Because he kindly requested, i will send him the info he needs, but I must try to pursuade him to send me some kind of his ID in order to make things more interesting.

Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2013 12:10 pm

After asking a lad to send me his ID, he tries to wiggle his way out:

Quote:

Attn: Richard Steele

We're in receipt of your email and content well noted, sequel to your inquisition of you seeing my personal information that will be very impossible due to my position in this distinguish bank and my personality as a banker i can't give out personal informations about just like because i might end up messing up my carrier and future as a banker due to identity theft and all that so I'm sorry i will advice if you really in that sceptic mood you can buy a ticket and come over to our bank here in the UK i will be very bold and please to see you face to face.

Should I send him a false airplane ticket to confirm my arrival on Monday? Smile

Posted: Sun Aug 25, 2013 7:10 am

After much stalling, I still didn't send reveal my info, but made myself very clear about the whole show:

Quote:

Dear Mr Mallich,

I just sent an email to Mr Large about this whole thing. Although this is my first time in doing transactions like this, this is definitely not a proper way to address me, only because I expressed some doubts about revealing my personal banking information. I know there is a lot of money in question, but if you do not want to verify your ID, then maybe you will have to find someone else to complete this.

I am sick and tired of being told what to do, so to make this story short, provide me with your valid ID, or you can forget about all this.

Please consider this as a serious matter. I want to finish this transaction and take the money Mr Large intended to give me. If all goes well, I promise to give you a percent of the whole sum.

Best regards,

Dick Steele

Very soon I received the mail from Alan Large:

Quote:

thank you for showing some great responsibility and trust, I must also let you know that I feel comfortable in transacting with you especially after your previous emails.

i have instructed my account officer(Mr Oliver Mallich)to give you the assistance and all the necessary information you need.so you have to follow is instructions.

i have this strong believe that you are the right person God want me to use,that is why it is going to be very difficult for me to stop believing in you,i understand how you feel i will not do any thing to jopadise your name.

I am writing you this mail with tears,Am a truly and honest person,Please free your mind i can not do any thing to put you in trouble my friend am honest and kind and i also want you to be honest with me.

And from Oliver Mallich

I love it! Normally they have an ID all ready. I'm surprised he threw a fit.

Make sure you watermark the ID he sent with SCAMMER or some such. That way, if any scammers find it, they can't reuse it, and any potential victims who see it will realize it's being used in a scam.

Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 6:22 am

Thanks, Redo, I will add the watermark.

Now, we just have to wait for the lad to make his next move...

You just happened to talk to your brother and told him about that transaction. And he planted the seed of doubts in you. With that kind of money involved, you really can not be happy with an id like that (no address, no birthdate,...). You are very sorry, but you are going to need a scan of his international passport to make that bad feeling go away...

Lets put his photoshop skills to the test Very Happy

Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 8:26 am

Hi, Cowfordinner!

Thanks for the help, it is a very interesting way to thicken the plot even more! I will send him something like that, so let's see what will happen.

Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2013 9:36 am

Unfortunately, the lad's gone silent for more than 5 days.

I believe he lost all hopes of getting his money, so he went to search for his next victim.

Well, I'll do the same:)

My "catcher" account has probably 2 of the same lads & the other 6 or 7 are all different.

The reason lads have made this Canadian couple popular is because they have CNN credibility, there's the real story from 1999 or something like that & there's the recent "duplicate" site with current dates.

If I can find both links I will update this post
