I pass this on because 1) it got really strange, 2) a second lad jumped into the bait for a bit and the first one didn’t know it at first and then they seemed to tangle each other up and 3) it shows that patience brings piggies. This took 5 weeks!

I’d already answered the spam with a “was this for me?” and the first script was fired my way:

You said to "send the money throw money". What does that mean? I assume you don't mean I should actually throw it, that would be silly.

And there is no "neighboring country". Molokai is an island. I'd have to grow wings and fly. Surely there must be an alternative

000

000

A power of attorney was forwarded to my office this morning by two gentle men , one of them is a philippines national and he is ENGR . GILBERT M. USON by name while the other person is Mr Charles G. Bacome, by his name a canadian national .

This gentle man claimed to be the representative of your company, and this power of attorney stated that you are dead. They brought an account to replace your account informations, to claimed your fund Which is now lying Dormart and Unclaimed.

Below is the new account they submitted to my office:

H.S. B.C BANK OF CHINA
QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES BRANCH
ACCOUNT NO. 2984-0008-66
SWIFT CODE . BOPIPHMM

Be further informed that this power of attorney also stated that you suffered and died of a throat cancer,You are therefore given 24hrs to confirm the truth in this information if you are still alive.

Be informed that any further delay from your side could be dengerous, as we would not be held responsible of wrong payment.
Below is the burial pictures brought in confirmation that you are dead.

Please do contact us through this email address below is the email( [email protected] )

000

Great, thank you. I can take care of sending the money to that account today.
Sorry for the late reply, but storms shut a lot of things down over the weekend. Sure was windy!

(I decided to see what would happen if he thought I was going to send money to his bogus account.)

000

Hello my dear,Lou Sindor,

we are very much glad to hear from you saying that you are not dead but rather you change your email password okay, because I was wondering when I heard from him saying that you are no more to be found here on earth, that he is your next of kin.

But, now that I hear from you that you are sound health mind and body I will get him arrested for such criminal act okay. The total amount you have to receive in our custody is ($2.5 M dollars) once you send the needed to us you will bee receiving your payment pay day ($7,500.00 dollars) until you receive the total amount you suppose to receive in our office,

if not God what I will say what I will told you that happen to your money, listing I real want you to send the $85.00 dollars today to enable us start releasing your payment to you immediately to avoid us cancel the transaction because we don’t need any problem with any of our customers okay,

Finally, I am waiting for your urgent response once again before I will suit them to court okay,

and also I want you to be informed that you should pay the sum of US$85.00 before this man said that he will pay the money so that we can transfer the fund into his giving information but I say Know to him that I must hear from you first okay, so I urge you to try as much as you can to get back to us once you received this message to enable us finalised this issue once and for all

(Okay, so he ignored the reply, but now we’re back to the $85.)

000

What the hell are you talking about? I told you I was going to the bank to make the transfer and now you send this?

And who said I was dead? What man?

This doesn't make any sense at all. I'm not doing ANYTHING until you explain yourself.

000

Dear Lou Sindor we receive your email this morning and is well understand,they is two young men that come in our office and told us that you have dead an bring $85.00 dollar to us an told us that you are the one who give them power of Anthony to come to our office an clam your fund to you,

which our director told them that he will hear from you first before he will collected the $85.00 from them and release your fund to them,

Mr Sindor i advice you to hurry up and go ahead and send the $85.00 dollar today because we have already arrange all your payment complete waiting for you to send the needed to enable us start releasing your payment to you immediately because delaying is dangerous,

our director have arrest them since then waiting for you to send the fee to enable you start making use of your fund to avoid another person clam your fund okay

(Okay, so now we’re back to lad #1 and the original WU recipient, this time without the script. The two lads are now on parallel paths , I guess, but getting themselves crossed up.)

000

What are you talking about? You wanted me to send it to your bank. Did you change your mind?

I don't have western union and I have told you that MANY times. Are you not reading my messages?

000

Dear Sindor we receive your email and is well understand, listing is like you are playing game with us, if you are not ready to send the money by western union or money gram or Ria money transfer you better forget about it because don’t understand you,

You told you about 3days ago that you are going to send the money but as you see that we send email about the two young men that wanted to clam your fund that why you did not send the money that very day which I explain to you that our director have already arrest them with police, which we advice you again to send the needed and you started telling us again that you don’t have western union where do you want us to send your fund to because we don’t understand you okay,

If you are not ready to receive your fund let us know in time to enable us cancel your transaction an collect the money from the tow young men that come in our office and bring the$85.00 dollar and release it to them immediately because we are not playing in our office,

(Definitely lad #1 and the script has been completely abandoned. It’s about time; it’s tough to get piggies when they’re not paying attention.)

000

Playing games with that much money? That would be stupid.

You said "you are not ready to send the money by western union or money gram or Ria money transfer"

How many different ways do I have to tell you that I CANNOT DO THAT. It's not that I'm "not ready", it's just not possible. Do you just not understand? If you are not able to work with me on this, please pass this transaction on to someone who can. I'm starting to doubt your ability.

000

ok you advice us to cancel your transaction right they is know problem may God bless you with your family as you can not send the money and start receiving your payment as we have arrange all your payment done remain you to just send the only$85.00 dollar,

as you advice us to stop your transaction we are going to do that because we dont real understand you by delaying your transaction since

000

talk to us before we cancel your transaction did you advice us to stop your transaction or what are you saying let us understand

000

LETTER OF INTENT,Lou Sindor

A power of attorney was forwarded to my office this morning by two gentle men , one of them is a philippines national and he is ENGR . GILBERT M. USON by name while the other person is Mr Charles G. Bacome, by his name a canadian national .

This gentle man claimed to be the representative of your company, and this power of attorney stated that you are dead. They brought an account to replace your account informations, to claimed your fund Which is now lying Dormart and Unclaimed.

Below is the new account they submitted to my office:

H.S. B.C BANK OF CHINA
QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES BRANCH
ACCOUNT NO. 2984-0008-66
SWIFT CODE . BOPIPHMM

Be further informed that this power of attorney also stated that you suffered and died of a throat cancer,You are therefore given 24hrs to confirm the truth in this information if you are still alive.

Be informed that any further delay from your side could be dengerous, as we would not be held responsible of wrong payment.
Below is the burial pictures brought in confirmation that you are dead.

Please do contact us through this email address below is the email( [email protected] )

(The second lad is back and sent his original script? Bizarre.)

000

(I answer lad #1 first.)

What I am saying is there is no western union here. What don't you understand about that?

Why would you stop the transaction? Are you trying to steal my money

000

(Then I fire a message answering lad #2, still with the return address, to see if I can confuse him, pretending that I think his bogus account is really my account and that I’m obviously not understanding what he’s going.)

Look, I don't need the information of MY account, I need YOUR account so I can send
the money.
This is not at all complicated. What's going on.

000

listing we are hear to make sure any of our customers receives they fund which we have already arrange all your fund complete waiting for you to send only $85.00 dollar to complete your transaction,

can you be able to send it throw DHL?

(Now we’re back to the lad #1, answering my reply to lad #2. I don’t think ANY of us know what the hell is going on at this point. I’ll just run with #1 for a while.)

000

Do you mean put a check in a DHL envelope? I suppose I could, but I thought you wanted it faster than that.

000

Dear Sindor i will advice you not to send a check to us if you want to send the $85.00 dollar send it carsh to avoid delay your transaction okay, also we need you to send the money by western union so that when we want to start releasing your payment to you it will easy for you to pick up your payment without any further delay and it will be more faster because you know that amount money you want to receive is not a small money which you suppose to understand,

or you send it by Ria money transfer or money gram office to avoid mistake which you know that we have already arrange all your payment waiting for you to send only $85.00 dollar to enable us start releasing your payment to you without any problem because that is only what is delaying you since not to start making use of your fund, i advice you to hurry up and know what to do and make sure you send the fee today,

we wait your urgent respond soon thank God bless you

000

THERE IS NO WESTERN UNION OR MONEYGRAM HERE. And I tried RIA and they don't services this area. The only way I can send it is from bank to yours unless I grow wings and fly. How many different ways do I need to tell you this?

You really are making me wonder if you're trying to take that money from me.

000

we receive your email and is well understand where do you want to send your fund to that is what i ask you because you can not bee able to send $85.00 dollar to bank to bank because is a small money,

the resign why i am telling you to send the money by Ria money transfer as you dont have western union or money gram i am telling you the one that we bee fast

(Now the language has collapsed and he’s ripe for harvesting some bacon.)

000

RIA does not service the area, I checked their site. What a pain in the ass.

There's no such thing as DHL transfer, they just use western union. Why is it that you don't know that?

I understand the problem with the $85 amount. What is the minimum I can send using the bank transfer? Whatever it is, it will certainly be worth it. Let me know and I'll set it up.
000
if you can send the money by DHL you will send it today or when because you are delaying your transaction not to done since
000
THERE IS NO SUCH THING

DHL is really just western union

000

Dear I receive your email this morning and is well noted, we advice you to try your possible best to send the $85.00 dollar today through western union money transfer that is only fast minds we can receive the $85.00 dollar today and proceed with your first payment of $ 7,500.00dollar per day,

The only we receive through bank transfer is from $1,500.00 dollar above we use to send bank to bank, and take three four days to reflect that is the resign we prefer western union transfer because within some minutes we can be able to pick it up and start releasing your payment to you without any further delay,

Try to understand to avoid delaying which you know that delaying is dangerous, we wait your urgent respond soon as possible,

(Atta boy, take a stab at the big bucks. The “how much do I need to send?” line brings the greed bubbling up every time.)

000

Well, since I have told you many, many times that the bank transfer is my ONLY option, send that information and I will send the $1500. My bank probably wouldn't let me send only $85 either.

(He disappeared for a couple days, I suppose to try and get an account from the boss.)

000

What's going on? I'm going to town today and can get to the bank.

000

Another day has passed and nothing from you. I'm beginning to wonder about all of this

000

My dear Lou Sindor this is the information you ask us to send and we are waiting to receive the payment silip soon as you send the money,

Ecobank benin boulevard lagunaire 01BP 1280 numero de compte xxxxxxxxxx 101 swift code xxxxxxxxx Akue Herve,

(Oink. The account format was a little odd, but I sent it to Alan. If he needs something different, he’ll let me know and I’ll hammer the dumbass. If not, I predict there are going to be some problems with the transfer. I hope I can sink the hook really deep, this one is looking like a promising victim for my favorite evil attorney.)

This deserves the Astérix et les Goths award. A&O got the Romans thoroughly confused, not knowing whether to look for a band of Goths, Gauls, or Romans, while they went about their pig hunt. And the lad dialect is quite funny.

Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2014 5:49 pm

Why thank you, he really has gotten off to a fine start.

I ignored him for several days and now have fired the tried-and-true "what are you trying to pull, that account is no good and there's some sort of investigation and I almost got thrown in jail and I thought we were working together" line. Given the extreme level of dumbass, I'm betting the response will be unique.

^^^^^
Lou, this is a pair of seriously stupid scammers. Neither of them deserve to keep their piggies.
