Hiya,
First post and I didn't know this place existed until today. I was playing with a scammer back a few weeks ago and posted it on my website, wanted to post it here too. Any advice is welcome since it seems there are some talented people here and I want to get better with it. Also, I'm in the middle of playing with another scammer. Great place here!

Here we go:

Dear,

I am contacting you with reason that we are going to
be of a great use to each other.

My name is Prince George Sanoussi, I am the first son
of Late Zainoul Abidine Sanoussi. Untill his death, my
father was the former foreign Affairs Minister of my
country (Guinea-Conakry).

Before I go into further details please be informed
that I am writing without any other person`s
pre-knowledge of my contacting you, Therefore I will
appreciate same attitude to be maintained all through.

Days before the death of my father he revealed to me
about a deposit of a trunk box which he deposted with
my name in a private security company in Accra, Ghana
for security reasons, although he registered the
contents as precious stones but the real content of
these trunk box is fhe sum of USD18M (Eighteen Million
United States of American Dollars) which was his share
from a secret sale of Diamond when he was in the
office, he could not deposit this funds in a financial
institution for fears of the funds being confiscated.

After the burial of my father, I made frantic effort
on the best way to handle this money. I sought advice
from an attorney who advised that I must seek for a
trustworthy foreign business partner.

However, I sincerely ask for your assistance to get
this Funds out of this country, and your share for
assisting us will be 15% of the total sum, 5% will be
use for upsetting all the expenses incurred in the
course of concluding this venture and the
remaining 80% that will be for me and my family.

The consignment will be released within seven 7 days
of my being in receipt of your reply via my
email address and I want to
assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free.

In case you have any question do not hesitate to
contact me as I wait for your swift and favourable
response to my email

Best Regards

Prince George Sanoussi

You've got to be kidding me! Do I know you?

I don't mind helping people, especially when there's money involved but this doesn't seem real. I mean, I know you're not asking for money but I'm a total stranger right? I don't get this.

My Dear,

Thanks for your email, please I am only asking for
your assistance in helping me to transfer a huge
amount of money that I inherited from my father and I
promised you that I am going to give you 15% of the
total sum at the completion of the transaction

Please this is for real and if you want to assist me
please let me know

Regards

George

Hi George,

This sounds good and I'd like to help but this kinda looks like a form letter that could be sent to anyone. Would you mind replying to me and use my name so I'll know this isn't some auto-send thing? The name is Wiley.
One other thing, why would you pay me so much to do this? Sorry if that sounds skeptical but I need to be sure before I do anything.
Would you mind telling a bit about yourself?

Thanks,
Wiley

P.S. I'll be gone for a while but I'll check my email this evening when I get home.

Dear Wiley,

Thanks for your email, I understand the points that
you are making in your email, but there are certian
things that you must understand

It will be hard for you to assist me in this
transaction and after assisting me to transfer the
total sum of $18M, I will then come over to your
country and collect the money with out any form of
compensation to you.

And most people will get greedy in such an instance,
when they assist you and finaly they do not get any
reward and inorder first for somebody to get
interested in helping you, you must offer him
something and inorder for one not to get too greedy,
you must offer him something that is good

This was the reason why I gave you the percentage that
I am giving you

So please if you want to assist me please let me know

I wait to hear from you

Regards

George

Hi George!

Thanks for answering, I'll be glad to help!

How come you say it will be hard to assist you? For that kind of money I would eat crap and call it birthday cake! I can do this!

Now what do I do? I don't understand what I need to do but I'm listening. And I hate to sound pushy but can we do this pretty fast? I need the money to get my mom out of jail and pay my brother's hospital bills. My stupid brother came home last week and told everyone he was a homo and mom beat the living shit out of him. He knew better than tick mom off right after she wrecked her dirtbike. Now she's in jail and he's still in the hospital and this money can help both of them. I guess I'm going to have to give him enough money to move to San Francisco before mom gets out of jail so she doesn't finish him off.

Sorry to bother you with my family problems but I guess you can see the money is much needed. I'm ready to get busy.

One other thing, I've never met a real Prince before and I'm pumped over that! Maybe you can go shoot some pool with us when you're here!

Thanks,

Wiley

Hi George

I'm a little bit worried about sending that kind of information after your reply. It looks like it was written by someone else. I mean, you're name is misspelled of all things! I'm a little worried, can you comfort me and assure me that this is really you and not some imposter? Please, don't play me for a fool, I really need this money to help my family, especially my stupid brother. I guess I can call him my sister now.

Thanks,
Wiley

I don't really understand why you need my occupation but I guess it won't hurt. I am a waitress at International House of Pancakes (IHOP).

Give me a call if you want to George!

Side Note: I used the local office number and address of a FBI office in Jacksonville Fl. The name I used is a reversal of the Dallas Cowboys player Marcus Wiley.

Hi Geaorge

I was beginning to get worrried since I haven't heard from you!
My age is 69.
I told mom I was about to get her out of jail and she's beginning to get pissed at me cause she thinks I was just kidding with her. The woman is mean and I don't want to end up in the hospital too! I'm also afraid they would put me in a room with my homo brother and I don't want to fall asleep with him in the room.

Thanks
Wiley

Annnnddd, that was the last I heard of George/Geaorge. So, how did I do with my first scammer?

Well you chased him away by asking for money (cash-baiting isn't to be discussed on this forum, by the way), but that wasn't too bad for a first time.

Uh-oh, didn't know that about cash-baiting, I'll edit that part out.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I think it's fine since it just scared him off anyways, but we discourage you from actually attempting it and don't discuss it on the forums.

Guest

Ok, that's easy enough to avoid doing.

Very funny - gave me a good laugh - and good ideas

well done - much better than me I think Laughing
