I can't wait to see how this one plays out...

Here's a taste:

Quote:

Attention:!!!,

Behold, you are reading a letter from the President Barack Obama USA. Shocked

Finally, I have received lists of the names of people that are involved in money laundry and terrorism which your name is among the names that was submitted to me and I have ordered to release arrest warrant to the IPA ( International Phonetic Alphabet, perhaps? Wink

) to quickly carry out their duty and make sure that they get you arrested and summon you to the court immediately which they will be on their duty on Thursday morning as assigned since you are trying to play ball with me. (Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?)[...]

Do note that if you failed to get back to this office within 24hours, you will be apprehended and charge to court immediately for involving in money laundry and terrorism and there you will see my face. Rolling Eyes

You will only be free if you get back to my office by promising that you will provide the fee for the certificate which will cost you only 100usd to obtain it within 48hours otherwise you will be in soup, BE WARNED!. I will advise you further on what to do once they hear from you in other to resolve this matter amicably. Contact Mr Charles Mark So that He will provide you the certificate once you have send them fee.
[email protected]

Kindly respond to this message.

From the desk of the President.
Email([email protected])
Barack Obama.

I've replied as a confused old man who happens to like soup very much and therefore would like to know when it will arrive.

A tweaked version of this perhaps

Somehow your version seems slightly less stupid, Esox. I can imagine this guy finding the format not doing well, so he tweaked it to get the gem I recieved.

I have just started baiting one with a similar script seems to be a new tweak of an old scam.

I learnt in the third Email he was only after $95 for first payment. Not going to be much in this bait Sad

That was a good chuckle!

I knew the economy wasn't doing well but didn't think things were so bad that presidential certificates were going for a hundred bucks.

Wow. Just wow.

That's amazing. Only 6 years ago you could get an Illinois Senate seat for $250.

I found the same letter in the surplus bin here. So I shot a message off and got a reply saying that I had until Tuesday to pay or I would be arrested.

A couple of problems for the President (of course).

1. My character was on prison lockdown until today and didn't see the message.
2. My character is already in jail, doing 25 to life for murder.
3. My character is a money launderer as all gangstas are.

So I will write him back tonight in my finest ganster language (which is not nice!) and see what happens. Than I will be locked down for a while longer! Smile

India Pale Ale? Love it.

That's one of the funniest formats I've seen in a long time. Laughing

Lads come up with the strangest things. This one looks like fun.

I had my own version of the Obama letter last August.

BEHOLD - a lovely word normally reserved for seeing marvels and witnessing extraveganzas. And this letter ticks all the boxes. President Obama himself no less threatening dire consequences over a sub $100 fee! How anybody could believe this c**p is a wonder in itself but I guess it must happen else the letter wouldn't circulate.

The most prominent people I've had emails from are Michelle Obama (wife) and Ban Ki Moon. I'm still waiting on one from Her Majesty demading £50 or so to feed her corgis or something.

Alas, he has not replied to my responses. I used to be a much better straight baiter--must be losing my touch. Crying or Very sad

I knew the President wasn't a citizen, using a yahoo.fr email address.

I can share this with all the right wing neocons now!!!!

I sent him a poke from Roger. Hopefully he'll respond.

Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2015 7:36 pm

Any luck? He's twigged on me.

Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2015 2:08 am

^ He did respond to me, but not as Obama. He's now impersonating Ibrahim Lamorde of the EFCC, asking me to send $80 to Benin.

Roger got confused, as always:

Quote:

I am very confused. I was responding to an email from President Obama saying that he would arrest me if I did not get a certificate saying I am not a terrorist. Now you have responded to me talking about something else. Can you please tell me what is going on?

Considering our recent discussion about the habits of Benin lads, I think he may drop me quickly once he realizes I won't pay. But I'll try to keep it going as long as I can.

I have heard nothing from him since poking him on Wednesday saying i was supposed to be arrested on Tuesday. Maybe he is not active much now?
