Hello!
I love this, I signed a few questbooks and within 3 days I'm getting swamped
with emails from these people. I have gotten the woman dying of cancer and wants me to open up a orphanage, the FBI warning that I will be arrested, the consignment box full of cash complete with picture, you name it. So far I have only been sending them phony MTCN's but I want to go one step further
I want them to go to a bank in person, for a wire transaction but call the bank before to alert them. Has anyone done this? My hope is that they will be arrested for fraud

Ok keep up the good work!

It has happened in the past, but is very unlikely to happen now, especially with a lad that you have no real lengthy history with.

If you do a bank transfer then the account will probably belong to a mule, who could well be an innocent scam victim themselves and they will have Internet banking.

And if you are talking about WU/MG transfers then lads will know that they can check them online.

If you get a bank account from a lad, report it to a mod. If you get info of someone in a First World country that the lad wants money sent to, report it too to a mod; it's probably a mule. (I try to verify that the person exists in the city named, but it's not always easy.) We have ways to get the bank account info to banks so that they know that it's related to a scam.

We don't actually send money to lads' bank accounts. We send slips that look like the money has been sent (often from a fictitious bank).

I am waiting for the bank info and will send all that to a moderator, Send him the header as well? My ip checker says although they say they are in London it is coming from Ivory Coast. After I get the bank info, just sit tight?, or is there a form like you say I can send to "Mr Butler"

I Send to the Mods:
Bank Info.
Type of Scam.
E-mail address(es) involved
Link to Scam Warning thread.

I will do the same and see if I can get a form off those toolbox links

Hmmm- I lurk on another scammer site, would it be frowned upon to use a `real' fictitious bank????
As the bank in question (it isn't a real bank, its set up by a scammer) does have a website, it has actual `cheques' and everything- its just a way of scamming desperate people so I personally wouldn't feel unhappy to pay one scammer with another scammers made up cheques

What is the general consensus about doing this?

What do you mean by "`real' fictitious bank"?

If a scammer sets up a website that looks like a bank, but isn't, post it in the Fake Banks forum.

It purports to be a real bank- but it isnt, its purely a scam (you have to pay 35 pounds to get a cheque book and an account and there is a monthly fee as well, all money goes to a mailbox in England and you get to pay off your loans, bills etc with this fake cheques with a fake made up `currency'- of course they bounce after a while, but the guy running it doesnt care, he's already got their real money

(it's already been listed with the UK financial system as being a fake, but its popped up in Germany, Canada and the USA)

Can you post the URL of this fake bank.

it has several-
The bank calls itself the WeRe Bank (run by a freeman on the land who calls himself Peter of England)

https://werebank.com was the original banking site (now comes up with invalid certificate and redirects now to)
https://globalfusionbank.com
www.werebank.com is the original public website but now requires username/password to access
http://i.imgur.com/UuTLNrV.jpg is one of his `cheques'

edit
my apologizes- it should have been werebank.com- not were.com- edited incorrect site address

We're group (were.com) is a valid, legitimate website. It loads just fine for me.

Globalfusionbank.com and werebank.com seem to be the fakes.
