This lad started texting me on one of my TextNow lines a week ago. I was busy working with another lad so I was ignoring until a few days ago. After I read his texts it sounded interesting so I thought I'd give it a go. I don't know where he got my number from and my bait email doesn't have anything from him, so I guess he got it from some other lad. I've had numerous phone conversation with him as well, and there was a dollar chop where we were struck by a smooth criminal. At the beginning I was mostly just being silly because I didn't think I could squeeze a piggy out of him, but I proved myself wrong. He's still calling me about once an hour. I'll post the logs in chunks. Here's part one, in which he wants me to pay him $300 to access my funds of a whopping 9.6 dollars.

Part Two:

Note: The lad gave me a phone call at this point. I told him I was at work and couldn't go to MoneyGram for a few more hours. I told him I'd call
as soon as I was at the MoneyGram office.

2017-07-19 22:17 EDT - Lad :
Hello dear what is going on

2017-07-19 23:10 EDT - You :
I'm traffic right now. Give me a few

2017-07-19 23:23 EDT - You :
Forgot I had to hit the bank first to get the 300. Sorry. It'll be another couple of minutes

2017-07-19 23:41 EDT - You :
Speak of the devil, Michael Jackson just called and gave me a different person to send money too. Micheal works for you right?

2017-07-19 23:57 EDT - You :
Okie dokie I sent the money to ****** in the U.S. . Thanks for letting Micheal Jackson find someone in the U.S. to send the money to. It was way cheaper than sending the money to Benin.
Note: I made up some fake mule name

2017-07-19 23:57 EDT - You :
So you said I'll get my $5000 in a few hours right?

2017-07-19 23:58 EDT - You :
Should I just wait here at MoneyGram or are you just sending it right to my account?

2017-07-19 23:59 EDT - Lad :
To your account

2017-07-20 00:00 EDT - Lad :
Send me your acc details

2017-07-20 00:00 EDT - You :
Okay cool

2017-07-20 00:00 EDT - You :
What account?

2017-07-20 00:00 EDT - Lad :
Dont listen to Michael okay

2017-07-20 00:01 EDT - Lad :
Michael don't work for me is a scam

2017-07-20 00:01 EDT - You :
What do you mean??

2017-07-20 00:01 EDT - You :
I already sent the money to Michael

2017-07-20 00:01 EDT - You :
He said he works for you

2017-07-20 00:06 EDT - Lad :
No be fast about it is a scam

Note: He called me at this point and I explained further that Micheal Jackson called and said he worked for the lad. I told him he found someone in the United States to send
the money too because it would be cheaper for me. The lad demanded I go back to MoneyGram immediately and cancel the transaction and resend it to his mule.
After some time annoying him with questions and him telling me to never talk to Micheal Jackson again I agree to go back to MooneyGram to fix it for him.

2017-07-20 00:17 EDT - Lad :
What is going on my dear

2017-07-20 00:17 EDT - You :
Dude I'm driving, can't talk. Just stopped at a red light

2017-07-20 00:35 EDT - Lad :

2017-07-20 00:36 EDT - You :

2017-07-20 00:42 EDT - Lad :

calls back after I call him. I can't get a good recording on my cell, so this didn't work as I wanted. The lad kept
calling me back from many different numbers.

2017-07-22 18:55 EDT - You :
Just answer

2017-07-22 18:56 EDT - You :
So I know your number is real

Note: He calls again and we have a long chat. I tell him I am at the bank and about to make payment. I try again to tell him
I want him to answer my calls, but the lad ignores it. I start hammering him with questions about the account I am paying into.
I tell him I am confused because the name on it is not his, and the lad tries to assure me it's an agent that works for him. I ask if the agent
can call me and give the security number the lad gave me earlier, but he tells me it will happen after I pay.
I eventually agree to go pay.

2017-07-22 19:45 EDT - You :
Still talking to the teller

2017-07-22 19:46 EDT - Lad :

2017-07-22 19:46 EDT - Lad :

2017-07-22 19:48 EDT - You :
Dude I'm talking to the teller give it a minute

2017-07-22 19:49 EDT - Lad :
Ok

22017-07-22 20:01 EDT - Lad :
Hello why all this delaying

2017-07-22 20:04 EDT - Lad :
Are you there talk to me I have so many things to do okay

2017-07-22 20:09 EDT - Lad :
What is going on dear

2017-07-22 20:15 EDT - You :
Okay, I think it's done. But my phone is almost dead now cause of the repeatedly calls

2017-07-22 22:56 EDT - Lad :
What do you mean

2017-07-22 23:00 EDT - Lad :
I can I see the payment slip

2017-07-22 23:00 EDT - Lad :
Can you just send it to me

2017-07-22 23:02 EDT - Lad :
Are you there talk to me now

2017-07-23 10:52 EDT - Lad :
Hello how are you doing today

-----------------------------------

And this is where we're at. He called me many times today but I ignored them. I started texting him and I told him the bank called me in
and told me the money bounced back because the account he gave me was invalid. This produced another onslaught of unanswered phone calls.
He eventually started texting me, and I informed him I was called away out of town and I am on a road trip. This prevents me from talking on
the phone because I am driving. He produced a second piggy for me after I said I'd swing by a bank on my trip. I haven't made contact since then
because my phone died and I don't have a car charger. I shall pick this up tomorrow from my motel room, and the lad will find out
Micheal Jackson has returned.

He dropped me today Sad

Not before calling to yell at me a bit and advise me God is going to punish me for lying. It's hard not to just burn the bait after that. Where do these guys get off calling other people liar's??

I cherish it when lads break character and start calling you a liar and/or tell you to go suck dicks, or whatever. It's a sign you've done your job well.

I really love when the bait has only just begun and a single innocent question sets a lad off. He's probably been baited to hell by that point and doesn't have any patience left. That's great, because I imagine a real victim would probably find it a bit off putting to be insulted by a wealthy philanthropist in only his second or third email.

He started calling me again Smile

He doesn't text a lot, but I told him over the phone I sent the money to the person "Janet Jackson" called and gave me. This really get under his skin. Over the course of today I found a friend to to send $1000. Of course this didn't go as planned and our phone calls turned into episodes of me blabbering on and on with him trying to talk over me saying "just listen to me, just listen to me!" over and over again.
