I am signing up for a 1.5% loan. Seems legit. I find it strange that the kindly old reverend needs my email password to process my loan, but what the heck. I get the feeling I will probably mistype it anyways. LOL!

Hopefully I can make this one last a while.

Welcome to eater! I don't know much about loan lads but I bet you are about to get a bunch of help/suggestions! Good luck!

Best thing to do is either ignore the request or question him on exactly why he needs it. This seems to be a trend with loan lads at the moment. When I was asked I just give him a good slap and he never asked again, if this is your first loan lad I wouldn't go down the slapping route, either ignore the request or ask exactly why and say something;

I just ignored the request. We are rocking and rolling. I already had him double the loan to $50k. That will make my payments more then the monthly income amount I gave him.. haha. Told him I'll be in church rest of the night and cant talk till tomorrow. The "loan docs" should be here by then, but I am sure I will have great difficulty opening them.

One of ny loan lads sent me a loan agreement that was a massive 3MB .BMP file complete with clip art of scales of justice and 2 red seals of truth.

^that loan document is clearly a fake, then. Everyone knows that all official documents in west Africa must contain 2 clip art scales and 1 red seal of truth. Not the other way around. Very Happy

When asked for my characters email password I introduce my IT worker son - "I'm not sure - Winston, my son - he works in IT for a big bank- told me not to do that. Shall I ask him if it's ok to give it to you though?"
That usually kicks off a few panicky emails about confidentiality but it puts a permanent end to requests for PC tomfoolery. Wink

I always don't fill in the form until they provide ID.
I love my rogues gallery of fake loan lads ID.

Makes them do a little work.

Don't give him your password. He doesn't need it. You are the baiter and are in control. Make him be respectful !! He came to you and he is greedy. Go slow and you start to get the bigger and coloured wording !

Above all enjoy.

Calvin...love that. I haven't been asked for a password yet. I want to now so I can reply with something similar !

Looking forward to a pig on the sig !

I agree with calvin's idea being brilliant!

I decided to drop this one. Two reasons... One, I found out he is just trying to steal personal information so I am pretty sure he is "happy" with what I already sent him. and two... I just got a great offer for a fund transfer/advance fee deal. I will focus on that one instead.

No reason to drop your pet Tom F. He is clearly a scammer and may want to steal your identity but that makes him a better toy. He's run out of script and will eagerly eat anything you put on his plate. At this point I would send him photos of cable TV stars converted into massive BMP files or clothed images of adult video actors/actresses also converted into files that a scammer could never send in under an hour. Dangle lots of cash by sending images of your character on boats and driving really nice cars. You can still forward the photos to your fund transfer lad. He will appreciate them.

The passwords I send are "IAmAnHonestMan" and "GodIsWatchingMe". I tell the lad in advance that he cannot sign in if I am logged on.

Tom F. You are the baiter and you are in charge.

He may be after your ID... but then does that matter. He isn't going to get it
and you may as well have some fun.

PLEASE please though put him on Scamwarners whether you drop him or not. It is vital information.

Keep repeating the word 'money'. The worst that will happen is that he will sell your email address to many more scammers which is good as it'll keep you busy.

Don't drop him... pester the life out of him with all of the above.

Passwords are so 20th century Very Happy

Tell him you sign in using your fingerprint.

The drawback is that he'd have to purchase a fingerprint scanner to use it but that's what major companies in the West use nowadays. Wink

Of course, you'd better warn him that he must keep that print safe and secure because you use the same thing to access your banking and to make payments.

If he doesn't believe you

My password is a bunch of asterisks. That's what's in the password field every time. In my experience, scammers very much enjoy explaining to you why that's not actually your password even though it's what shows up.

^^^

How come you get asterisks and I always get bunch of black dots? Confused
