Here's the letter he sent (It's a little long, but skim through, they're pretty much the same.). My older brother has messed with these types, as well as other people have, and they seem to fall for it. Maybe not now, but we'll see. After theirs' is mine. Tell me what you think :D :D

BEST REGARDS, MR.GEORGE DESMOND PLEASE REPLY ME HERE; g_desmond20@katamail.com
Now here's my response:
Greetings. I'm replying to your request to transfer money to my account. I must admit I'm impressed with your actions, and I'm glad you wish for me to reperesent you in my home country of Saskatchewan. And you were right about your email being a surprise, this could really help my business.
To tell you about myself, I own a chain of Manure Fribbiling Factories across Saskatchewan. The business is sometimes jumpy, as depending on how many moose we are able to get the manure from. Although Moose manure is easy to obtain during the summer, they hibernate during the winter, so it is during that time that it's very hard to get the manure from them and very dangerous. We must venture inside their caves to retrieve it while they are asleep, and should we wake them up prematuraly from their hibernation, they will attack. We have had many serious injuries while doing so. We have been able to subsidize the Moose Manure with wild Wingabee droppings. However wild Wingabee droppings has a problem of flomping within 18 hours of collection. So timing is of the utmost importance. We have to make sure the droppings are fribbled before they flomp, or else the manure is nothing more than waste which represents a loss of profit to our company. I'm sure you will agree that flomped manure is unacceptable to fribbled manure. With the return from your money, I will be able to buy some more moose for our plant. Our profits will increase 10-fold!
I'm sorry to hear about your wife, and I wish for her to have speedy recovery. My Brother's male life partner lost a cousin to liver problems, so I sympathize. I also unfortunatley have sustained injuries myself. 6 months ago I was raking leaves in my front yard outside of my hangar, when I fell out of the tree. I broke my left leg. To make matters worse as I was lying there in pain, I was attacked by vicious tree squirrels. They chewed out my knee-caps. Although my broken leg has healed, I have not had a surgery to my knee caps. Right now when I walk I can't bend my legs, so its very hard to get around. I have to wear speacially fitted wooden pants to keep my correct posture. I'm hoping with the money I recieve from your deposit, I will be able to pay for knee-surgery
I don't have a celluar phone as yet, but I want to make sure that you comfortable in dealing with a manure plant, here in Saskatchewan, but rest assured you are making a wise business choice. I await your response to this letter.
Best Regards Gotlieb Allister Plotz IV C.E.O. Saskatchewan Manure Inc.

The Guy replied back!!
Dear Gotlieb Allister Plotz IV C.E.O. Saskatchewan Manure Inc.
Thanks for your reply. I want to assure you that there are no risks involved in this transaction because it is something I studied well as a senior Director in this bank. I did not contact you to put you into any problem of any kind but rather for us to work as one body with Sincerity and claim this dormant fund. Like I stated earlier to you, if there is any risk of any kind I don't think I can risk my job opportunity for something that I am not sure of. I am still a senior Director in this same bank where the fund will be transferred from to your designated account. I am also here to direct you in all things you are to do. I contacted you because I cannot make this claim alone except with a foreigner .The owner of the account died on July 30th 2000 of a Ghastly motor accident .His name is, Mr. Jin sun of people republic of china He resided here in Burkina Faso .
During our auditing at the bank we discovered the dormant account, the bank recommended that after seven years the fund has to go to the treasury as unclaimed bills. This warranted my search for an honest person who will apply for the fund and claim it so that we share it together as I stipulated before. I have worked here in the bank for a period of time now without achieving anything that is why when I saw this opportunity, I decided to utilize it. You have no much duty to do as I will be directing You appropriately in every step so that we succeed. If you want more clarifications from me, you can call me on my private telephone number as given before so that I can speak to you.
I have given you a vivid account of all that is involved and think you are supposed to declare your stand to me to enable me know which steps to take because this is an opportunity I can not let go. I want you to know that this transaction is going to join our families together because I will quit my job after the money has been successfully transferred to your account and I make sure I delete all necessary in formations regarding this transaction in the banks file. I Want you to know that my family will be coming to join you very soon once the transaction gets underway so you have to help me arrange for the visas of some of my family members who will be coming to join you because I have to wait a little after the transfer to avoid quitting my job unceremoniously probably to make the bank suspect me that is why my family will be with you first so that you people will withdraw some money and commence on some investments under your supervision.
I have an advice for you please, I don’t want you to leak this secret to anybody so that our secret will be forever to avoid any body knowing how we made our money. I am just an average civil servant here in the bank and wouldn't like to miss this Golden opportunity before me I want you to tell me more about your status because I am beginning to take you like a partner that is why I would like you to do your best and call me once you receive this mail so that we talk to each other for better understanding. As soon as I hear from you I will send you the text of application which you will fill and send to the bank, desk of the director of foreign remittance department of our bank so that when he sees it, the bank will contact you through your email or fax as that will be the contact address which you will put in the application form. You can also send full information’s including fax numbers so that the bank can contact you through any In all your correspondences with the bank, don't let the bank know that you have any contact with me as that may create room for suspicion. I am waiting to get a call from you and believe that we are going to be successful. Don't worry for this shall be our time. I hope you will continue in your honesty while I promise to do my best to see that we are victorious at last. We don't need to delay so much because the bank has already made it clear that this fund will be transferred to the reserve bank of Burkina Faso by the end of this fiscal year auditing. Please advise me on areas of investment in your country. if there is anything urgent, you can always call me and do not forget that this transaction will not last more than eight banking days once you follow my instructions. Attachment my family and wife picture.
Waiting to hear from you as soon as you get this mail,
Best Regards,
Mr.George Desmond 00226 -70 64 24 10

Maybe you and she can run away with his half of the 41 gazillion dollarinos too----I expect a commission of about a gazillion for just coming up with the idea, if she's a bowser, we can negotiate that figure down a little.........................and remember, SHHHHHHHHHHHHH, don't tell anyone else :-X

Here's my latest reply to the guy. ;D ;D ;D I will be totally surprised if he replies to me after this still thinking I'm serious.
Greetings George
I was glad to recieve your message. I am working on getting all the important information that you require. My bank is asking all sorts of questions, and I assume you want me to keep things quiet over here as well. This is a big secret. I want to put some of the money into my company as well. I will have everything ready in just a very quick while.
Now regarding your family's Immigration Visa's. Saskatchewan is a former Soviet Block Country, so we don't have Visa's by that name anyways. Here they are called Immigration Mastercards. Although they are more harder to come by for immigrants, your family should be alot easier to bring in as you have experience in banking. Your wife should also have some employable skills as well. Does she have any experience in Nursing? They are sought after over here, so I could tell them that she is a nurse, and you would be bumped to the front of the line. There is a labor shortage here as most of our workers are now at the age of retirement. Saskatchewan is a country on the grow!!
As for companies to invest in, My company is always open for investment. Other Companies are Vulcan Motor Vehicles (V.M.V), known as the "Logical Choice". They are constantly in need of investment and workers. Other companies for investment is Klingon Defence CO-OP. I've also seen your picture, and to be straight foward in a possible uncomfortable statement, you are a very handsome man. Once you settle in you may even want to try your hand at male modelling. The popular Saskatchewan Magazine BIGGAYFELLA'S is always looking for models. The ladies love it!
I was thinking about your wifes liver problems. A local Doctor by the of name Elmer Fudd had my brother's male life partners cousin use a homemade dialalisis pump in order to help her. It was made of a personal vibrator motor, a small syringe. I can't remember all the parts used, but it was very easy design and you may have such designs in Africa. The pump kept her alive for 2 years before she unfortunately succumbed to her illness. I reccomend going to either Japan or The United States for her treatement. There is a shortage of Doctors here, so there is a long waiting list for surgery's.
I will be in touch with you soon.
Kindest Regards Gotlieb Allister Plotz C.E.O. Saskatchewan Manure Inc.

I have a problem with that, I only deal in cash and keep my money in a very large mayonase jar buried in the back yard. As for SS number, my application was held up after my sex change and therefore I have never recieved one because of my status as an illegal alien. You can howevever, send sacks or bales of cash in my name to the AIDS clinic in Geyserville, CA (where I well known) since I live in a cardboard box. ::)

Check out thescambaiter.com
Send him a sample of your work, though maybe you can use a little doublespeak... make him think you're sending electronics (say, a laptop computer with a built-in inventory database... all he'll see is "laptop") and ship him a large box via DHL. In Nigeria, they will only accept cash for COD shipments. So... he'll have to scrape up the cash to receive the box, and will just about explode when he opens it to find... fertilizer. Now, if there's a problem with shipping that sort of thing (I dunno... if they consider it a bio-hazard) then a box of useless junk would do. Just make sure nothing in the box can be repaired or used otherwise. The whole point is to make them pay, and to never put more effort or money into the deal than the mugu who tried to scam you.

Get him off-script.
One... get a scan of his passport (trust me, if he does it, it'll be hilarious) along with a 'security photo' of him in a setting of your choice. Be imaginative, and look at some of the 'security photos' posted at thescambaiter. The photo can't be just a stock photo... make sure he holds up a sign, and something else that can't easily be faked... maybe a couple of nice roses. Let him know that you are NOT willing to release your personal information until you have been assured of his 'honesty' and willingness to work with a business partner honorably, and the photos are a nice first step in a 'hopefully' long and prosperous relationship. Pile it on deep.
Once he has to do stuff for you, he'll have to go off-script, and you'll learn how well he really understands/types English. It usually falls apart once he's left his neat little script. That also works for foreign telemarketers and help centers...
Dangle a carrot for him, though. If you can keep him believing payday is close, you can string him along for quite a while. theFailure at scambaiter has played some of these guys for years, accumulating a whole slew of highly entertaining (and more than a few NSFW) photos, and has put some of these scammers through absolute hell in the process... and all he had to do was keep the carrot just out of reach.

Here's My reply with my "application" :D :D
Dear George. I tried sending this via the 2 email address' you gave me for the bank, but all I get in return is "failed delivery notice". I'm sending you a copy of the application. I'm also including my banking information which finally came through. This is for the company, so the money will be put into it's account. This will make it easier for your company to help with the deposit as our banks have quite the security system (old Soviet ideals).
My phone is down, as is most of the countries phones, so I will establish voice communications with you as soon as I can. My internet is being routed to my computer via ex Soviet Spy sattelites. I am on my computer most of the day monitoring the companie's output. If these do not work, please quickly email me, and I will get in touch with my broker to see what is going on. This sort of delay happens all to often, but rest assured it is only a very temporary problem.

mgt@zcp.bf a_d_b@cbgb.net mail2adb@mail2bank.com
Once you send the application to the Bank please let me know so that will follow it up from here. Meanwhile don’t expose this transaction to your broker because I’m still working with this Bank, I don’t want to lose my job for now until you confirm the fund to your Bank account.
Can you please tell me more about your country?
I wait to hear from you soonest,
Regards,
George Desmond

IIRC, they have scripts which match the scam story they're using on their target (the guys in Nigeria use the term 'mugu' for their victims. I think the term means 'gullible person' or the like), and the big trick is to get them out of the script by dangling a lucrative carrot just out of reach. If you'd like, and you want to make him work a little harder, send an email from another anonymous account, using a sort of pidgin like: U NO MESS WIT MY MUGU!
They'll think another scammer is working you, and you can hint from the original contact account that there is another proposition in the works. That may drive him nuts.

Well I've decided to break up with George :( :( Here is my last message to him. I end it on a bit of paranoia for him. ;D ;D ;D
George I only have a little time. The Emperor of Saskatchewan Mr Chef Boyardee has made an order to impeach Saskatchewan Manure. They found out that we were getting manure from the rare albino moose. The moose is protected under the legslation of the Porcelain Bowl branch of the goverment. The Government Police the KGB, and local police the SS have done some investigating into my activities. The local SS Captain Highliner is having his troops keep an eye out for me. I have been able to slip out, but there is a reward of 250000 Nazi's (approximatley 125 000 US dollars) for my capture.
George did you inform them? I hope not, but I must explore all avenues. They did mention your name to me.
My company has been seized and I am pennyless. They have taken over all my assets, and soon they will take my computer away. The only writing I will be able to do will be on tree bark with wild berry juice. I am going to head to our neighbouring country of Pianostand, to meet up with some friends. The trip will be a dangerous one as I have to cross the Hugeknockers Mountain chain to get there. The mountains are full of thieves, murderers, evil clowns, and Jehovah's Witnessess'. Not only that but there are wild Leprauchauns and Midgets as well. Those midgets bite HARD!!! The Wild Wingabee's we got the droppings from would also like to sink their teeth into me Unfortunately the Pianostandese don't like Saskatchewaner's that much. I will have to be careful until I reach my friends safehaven. It is on the ocean, so keep an eye out as I will send some bark across the ocean to reach you. The bark will have instructions on them on how to proceed next. Also keep an eye out for smoke signals that I send you. If I can obtain one, I will send a flying Mastadon with instructions for you. I must warn you about immigrating to Saskatchewan. There are ruthless bands of kidnappers who take children in the night and force them to work on PBS shows like Barney and Friends.
I hope this will all be cleared up soon. If you don't hear from me, then I bid you farewell. It would've been a glorious partnership. My partners will quickly establish an account for me in Pianostand to help me out. But until I get there, I have no money. Gotleib

I'd be tempted to contact him as the executor of your recently seized estate, but I really don't have the time and energy to put into a satisfying bait right now. It can be a great pastime, though.

And yea, nothing beats a summer afternoon near the beach, your table right next to where the little waves foam, you in the cool shade while the rest of the world burns from the sun around you, feeling the slight breeze from the ocean, eating all kinds of fried fish, shrimps, squid and octapus and finally, drinking lots and lots and lots of OUZO!!!!!!! Stef knows what I mean don't you Stef?

All right I lied, I had to send one more to Dear ol' George.
Why George? Why did you do it? I was caught by the KGB. They told me that you told them where to get me. How could you? Is it because of the 250 000 Nazi's that was offered for my capture? I thought we were partners. Do you have any idea what they are going to do to me? They are going to force me to listen to Celine Dion Music continuously non stop, while watching Rap Music video's.Then they are going to tear out my balls, and tear out my eyeballs and switch them. Now all I will see is my crotch, and when I cry...
Oh no here they come. I dont know if they'll let me back on again. Why George? WHHHYYY
I may even sign up with another Email address pretending to be the police offerring him the reward, but only if he gives me his bank account number. Hmmm ::thinking:: ::thinking:: ::thinking:: Think it'll work?

Hey... turnabout's fair play. ::thinking::
You could also be an insurance adjuster looking to determine how much 'your' estate owes several possible business contacts. You could make up a form for him to fill out (with all sorts of oddball and personal questions) in order to place his claim, which he would also be asked to quantify.

Right on, Gil! ^55555555 for giving it to 'em where they need it! ::rambo:: ::rambo:: ::rambo::
Too bad the humor is wasted on the perps. If only they knew how you are making them look like fools to all of us!
What gets me is that these a-holes don't even take the time to change the contact name. I had an email from Mr George Desmond just last December. He claimed to be a Barrister who was trying to find relatives of the victims of an air carrier accident in the Middle East dating from the late 90's. What really annoyed me is that he somehow had my late brother's named spelled accurately, however my old Bro was the last person to go to the Middle East for anything (he was a pot-smoking hippie when he died). I didn't have the time or inclination to screw with the sucker, but I'm glad others are. Might as well make them waste as much of their time as possible, and make them think they're actually gonna get something out of it.

Well George I hope you're happy. I am to be executed at sunrise, all thanks to you. Tonight I'm am going to be forced to listen to Barabara Streisand Music all night. They are making it a living hell.
After I am gone, I will come back to haunt you. I will put curses on you and all of your family. I will make sure your wife grows facial hair, that your children grow a third nipple, and that you become a hermaphrodite. I curse you. I curse you upon the graves of my brother Pastafazoolie Plotz, and my Father Gotlieb, and all my forefathers. I swear upon my dead goldfish Spanky, and my pet hamster Slut, that you will be cursed. I will bring all the other angry spirits that you betrayed to your family and we will drive you mad. MAD DO YOU HEAR ME?!!! MAAADDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Partner,
What don’t you tell me that you are not interested in the first place?
You intended to waste other people’s time. Please don’t be offended we have No jobs here that is why we are doing this for the living but I will stop doing this from today henceforth. MAY GOD FORGIVE US.
I will wish the best of luck in all your endeavors.
Regards,
Your friend…
Note; If a scammer write you again ask in to change and be born again Christian not to play around with the person. Its better for you to remove our transaction from the GOOGLE because George Desmond is not even my real , I’m just a 17 year old boy I find the pictures from the internet in fact all the information are fake so don’t fool yourself any more we have met people like you so many times.

Ah...Gil, you are a man close to my heart. One of my many pasttimes is having fun scambaiting these guys. I usually come up with some excuse that I don't use a telephone 'cause I lost my hearing early on. The story usually goes something like..."my dad worked the pit crew's for NASCAR and during one race, one of the cars backfired close to my head and I lost my hearing.....now I just roam to country with my 18 year old pregnant girlfriend living off of the multimillion dollar insurance settlement I won....blah, blah, blah....".
I setup all kinds of bogus email accounts and stuff too.
My latest "fish" is some guy who says that someone is stalking me and I should not leave the house. He will tell me who it is for $8000US, but I need to pay him $4000US up front. I can't talk to the police (of course) or that will tip the guys off due to some conspiracy somewhere. The only problem is that the way I setup my email, I got four copies of the exact same message to three different accounts (yes, he was not smart enough to not send it twice ::loony::).
My favourite ones are where the scammer is not smart enough to hid the .cc address list of the other hundreds of folks that they send the same message to. I ususally try to ask them if I have to share the money I am supposed to inherit (or whatever) with all of those other "special people" who are helping him obtain the money from his lost dictator father who was killed during some......well you get the point.
Keep 'em busy my friend...you may be saving some other person a lot of hardship down the road.

The guys over at scamb@iter tend to FUBAR the names and email addresses of their mugus in order to avoid being googled. The scammers like to run searches of all those keywords and email addresses to check on their 'victims' and to see whether they're being baited.

You just have a look i spam trashcan from time to time and/or write your adress on open net from time to time ;)
Oh, and by the way, if you want, I can forward some to you if you want... just set up a ".sk" mail account, give me a shot and I will give you link and info how to, and we can play around :D Would be interesting if scammers would be smart enough to find out it is Slovakia not Saskatchewan ::) ::angel::

Set up a 'junk' email address, and post it on message boards and guestbook pages. Also, look for eBay ads that are just too good to be true. They've been posting scam ads for Garmin stuff, and doing a lot in automotive as well. I would imagine the computer ads are plagued with 'em, too.
Just look for the *really* good deals, and for listings that offer a 'buy it now' price, with no Buy it Now button at the top of the page. They usually try to get you to wire money for an item sight-unseen, and they try to rush you along.
I just worked over a couple of those guys, got their ads dumped and wasted some of their time responding to my gobs of silly questions.

Greetings good Zakaria
I've read with some surprise, as you had mentioned, that your email would be of a unexpected nature. I have some doubts or questions, as I am sure you would have if our situations were in the reverse. I'm going to need some more details upon this transaction that you are proposing, as well as a recent picture or proof of employment status of yourself. Please understand that I prefer to err on the side of caution. May I inquire as to how you come across my name as a candidate for this transaction? I do have good friends in the Banking industry. Perhaps they are associates of yours? I won't send any information as of yet, until I have more specifics of the proposed transaction.

Dear Sir/madam,
I am a staff of one of the leading banks in South Africa I am writing asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds, which we want to keep under your supervision. The Funds totaling ($14,700,000) I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this fund cannot be approved to a local Bank here in South Africa, because the funds are in US Dollars and the owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American, and he died since 2000 in an air crash along with his wife & Daughter on 31/01/2000 in an Alaska Airlines Flight 261 with other passengers on board. You can confirm from this website http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Please, I am proposing 30% for you for your assistance while my colleagues and I receive 60% and 10% earmarked for purposes of taxation in your country and mine. Please if you are interested kindly forward to me the following information’s stated below:
(1) Your direct telephone number (2) Your direct fax number (3) Your Full Names (4) Your age (5) Your Country of Origin (6) Your Residential Address (7) Your Occupation
All that is require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Your reply should indicate your willingness in assisting us. And I will send you all the detailed infomations and documents that you will need to process an application for the claims of the funds.
I look forward towards a good business relationship with you.
Regards, Mr. Solomon ***********
So apparently a First Nations American had funds in a South African Bank with no name, for some reason. So HOORAY!!! I'll be a bit less cautious but still have some fun. Hopefully he'll reply again, and I can go on a spree

So here goes. Dr. Finster J. McFiddles, take two!!
Greetings Good Solomon:
My Name is Dr. Finster McFiddles. I am Livestock Veterinarian near the city of New Vermont, in the U.S.A.
Before I send the information, as I do also have to collect it from my, I must make sure that you are comfortable in dealing with a Animal Doctor, or "A-DOC'S", as we are referred to here. Some people don't like Vets as we charge a great amount of money for our services. I wish to reassure that I am honest Doctor, and if any bad rumors happen to come your way about our profession, I assure you it is only because of the fact we charge so much for animal care.
So in the mean time, let me know as soon as you possibly can if you wish to proceed with this transaction from a Veterinarian, and in the meantime I shall obtain the banking information that you require.
I hope to hear from you soon Dr. Finster J. McFiddles Well-Hung Horse Veterinary Services Inc.
Well Hopefully this time!! Fingers Crossed!! >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D
Title: Re: HOAX :D
Post by: FlyboyGil on November 24, 2007, 08:00:23 PM
HOORAY!!! He Replied!!
Dear Dr. Finster McFiddles,
First I want to thank you for your prompt response to my email, I really do appreciate your kind of gesture towards this matter. But as a matter of fact I want you to also be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, consequently there is nothing for you to worry about.
Basically, we want your total full co-operation and trust, somebody who we can entrust these funds in his hand before/prior our coming over to have our share of the money. Like as I earlier said the whole proceeding is legal, we have the entire bio-data of the deceased in question in our hand, definitely we would have done this on our own, but the bottom line is that we are directors as well as staff of the bank, so we cannot come out and have the funds approved on our name, couple with the fact that the South African laws of banking strictly prohibited us from having foreign account, hence our decision to contact you, so that we can front you as the rightful next-of-kin /beneficiary of the deceased in question.
Upon your full assurance and wiliness to assist us, we will proceed immediately to put in place all relevant places your name should appear on the deceased bio-data, having you as the rightful heir to the funds.
With my position as the account manager to my late client I will see that every thing goes well when it comes to the point of making the transfer of the funds to your bank account. Consequently as a result of the urgency and time being of the essence in this transaction, kindly forward to me the following informations stated below:

Alrighty!!. Time to throw the S#%T at him!! Sorry to you all country music fans, but I have to take a shot at it with my response.
Greetings Solomon.
I'm glad you responded quickly. In order for me to transfer the money, I need a city of origin from you in South Africa. The name gives my bank here the required information that is needed when receiving money from overseas. As is now once I received the name of your city, the bank will release the transfer money to me. The money that I will keep will be transferred over to the Veterinary Company in which I am a partner within. I have researched the background of the late Mr. Thompson, and I believe I can manage to prove to the government that I am related if that's what it takes for the money transfer.
Well I would like to know more about you. I always make it a point to try to get to know the personal lives of my business partners. Are you married? Do you have any children? Do you have any special interests or hobbies? Tell me more about your job as a banker.
To tell about myself, my specialty in Veterinary services is the correction of Animal Hermaphroditism (animals born with both male and female parts), a common birth defect in animals here in New Vermont. During the Cold War, there was a large scale nuclear testing in the farms around this area. As a result, the birth defect Hermaphrodite is quite common in local animals. The result is sterility in animals, until the opposing genitals are removed. Although it may sound almost epidemic, it is easily rendered with simple surgery. The Male organs are removed from a female animal, then the Glotix is then reattached to the Flubonsteromix inside the animals Vaginal/urinary/vorghmit tubes which allows conception of offspring. A business secret known only to Vets, but as you are a business partner, I'll let you in on it, is that the removed male organs are given to meat companies which produce the popular food here, called hot-dogs. The word HOT is actually an acronym for "Hermaphrodite Operational Transplants." They are actually very healthy for our children.
I have been married for 16 years to a lovely lady named Bertha-Mayhomerhivenhervenglaven. We have 6 1/2 children. The eldest is in show-business. He works as a sideshow attraction in a carnival. His name is George McFiddles, but is known throughout the country as "Yoda the Goat-Face". He is starting to obtain notoriety in the carnival scene. My next 2 are in college, learning the process of Fecal Rendering. The other 3 1/2 kids are still in high school and grade schools. Hobbies for myself. I am part of a country-and-western band called "Two Nuts in a Bag". The lead band member is friendly long thin fellow named Dick. We're not famous, but play local night club scenes. Our best songs are entitled "My Brother Stole My Girlfriend, and Now I Have to Pee", and "The Rainbow Folks of Brokeback Mountain". Other hobbies include painting unusual peoples genitalia, and I even dabble in the popular art of the buggery of small woodland creatures.
Well I've praddled on long enough. When I meet get new business opportunities I tend to babble a bit. I'll send all my information including my personal phone and fax in one email, as to make sure it is sent only once to avoid people hacking into my email system, which does happen periodically. If you are interested I know some investment bankers here in the States. If you wish I can forward some names to you, and you can contact them for investment opportunities to help your money grow.
I will contact you the next day.
All the best Dr. Finster J. McFiddles
Well I doubt he'll reply back, but we'll see. Oh on a completely different topic I'm having a hot-dog roast tonight. Does anyone want to come over? >:D >:D

Oregon Woman Loses $400,000 to Nigerian E-Mail Scam Monday, November 17, 2008
SWEET HOME, Ore. — An Oregon woman who is out $400,000 after falling for a well-known Internet scam says she wasn't a sucker or an easy mark.
Janella Spears of Sweet Home says she simply became curious when she received an e-mail promising her $20.5 million if she would only help out a long-lost relative identified as J.B. Spears with a little money up front.
Spears told KATU-TV about the scammers' ability to identify her relative by name was persuasive.
"That's what got me to believe it," She said. "So, why wouldn't you send over $100?"
Spears, who is a nursing administrator and CPR teacher, said she mortgaged the house and took a lien out on the family car, and ran through her husband's retirement account.
"The retirement he was dreaming of — cruising and going around and seeing America — is pretty much gone for him right now," she said.
She estimates it will take two years to clear the debt that accumulated in the more than two years she spent sending money to con artists.
RelatedStories Hackers Buy 'Obama' Google Search Results Ad Her family and bank officials told her it was all a scam, she said, and begged her to stop, but she persisted because she became obsessed with getting paid.
The scheme is often called the "Nigerian scam" and it's familiar to many people with e-mail accounts. It still exists and it still works.
Spears first sent $100 through an untraceable wire service as directed by the scammers. Then, more multimillion dollar promises followed so long as she sent more money.
The scammers sent Spears official-looking documents and certificates from the Bank of Nigeria and the United Nations. President Bush and FBI Director Robert Mueller were also involved, the e-mails said, and needed her help.
They sent official-looking documents and certificates from the Bank of Nigeria and even from the United Nations, saying her payment was "guaranteed."
But it wasn't and now Spears is paying the price for her costly lesson.
"The hope is [other people] are not going to fall as hard as I fell," Spears said.
In closing I wish an Arabic curse upon Mr Desmond or whomever scammed this couple, "May the sores of a thousand camels alight upon the face of your first born!" ::rambo:: ::rambo:: ::rambo:: ::rambo:: ::rambo:: ::rambo:: ::rambo:: ::rambo::

The trick is to send as many different emails to as many people as possible. It probably wasn't any real trick to send the 'right' name to the right mark as one in millions of emails.
Still, this stuff has been going on for years, and people are still falling for it. check out www.thescambaiter.org for some hilarity. Folks have taken up the hobby of making life miserable for scammers.

Hi,
Pardon me for not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before making you this offer and it is utterly confidential and genuine by virtue of its nature.I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$3.5M.
This fund has been stashed out of the excess profit made last year by my branch office the International Commercial Bank which I am the manager.
I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2005 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never know of this excess. I have since then, placed this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary.
Upon your response, I will configure your name on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on how to apply to my head office for the Account Closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated bank account.
If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 30% of the funds while 70% shall be for me.
Kindly forward your response to: icbton@aim.com

I'm getting really pissed off at these characters. I just received another email attempting to play upon me by referencing my long-lost brother, saying he died of heart failure in Malaysia shortly after he lost his family in the Air France Concorde crash back in 2000. What utter rot! The last time I received this email my late brother was supposed to have died in an airliner crash in the Middle East back in '98 or so. I sent this person a reply telling him to piss off, and he had the balls to reply to me with a form letter!
I'll post this correspondence here in the near future. I'm afraid the internet is very slow tonight where I'm at (Zulu +2).
It really chaps my hide that some dirty bastard is tearing open an old wound for me!
I am Abdul Razak Yaacob, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, by name Mr. Big Brother Trucker, who here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a heart-related condition on the 11 November 2001. His heart condition was due to loses and shock from the death of all the members of his family on 25th July, 2000 in Concord plane crash [FLIGHT A-{F459-0}] as reported on: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at Six Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S dollars ($6, 500 000) is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from many breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity. I look forward to your response.
Best regards, Abdul Razak Yaacob ESQ.
My reply was short, sweet, and to the point.
Dear Mr Yaacob, A quick google search for Law-Advocates.com shows that this domain is for sale. Hence, your offer is bogus. Nice try. Why don't you go piss off and and try scamming someone else out of their money?
Regards, Rooster Cruiser.
I thought that would be the end of it. However, I received another email from said Barrister Abdul just a few hours later;
Dear Rooster Cruiser,
Thanks for your prompt response to my e-mail.Please go through this e-mail with great attention as that will bring closer the picture of what assistance I need from you. I got your contact from a research company based in china, which made it easy for me to come about you. I have labored immensely to get someone with the same last name who will help me in this regard.
Firstly, I want you to comprehend that you were contacted just for the fact that you have the same last, surname as my late client, not that you are necessarily related to him. i will also like to clearly make you understand, that legally, you have nothing to worry about, as far as this inheritance claim is concerned. As a barrister and custodian of law with so many years of experience, I make bold to say with full authority, that this business is totally legal, and safe.
I was the deceased client’s attorney. This legally, means that I am mandated to carry out any business dealings on his behalf, as if he was present. I was his attorney for several years, until his death. I was his closest confidant.
My deceased client had no next of kin to inherit the mentioned amount. He is originally from Australia going by the information he provided to me. He sojourned into my country in the late 90's and had vast business interests though his major concern was importation. based on the brief he gave me, he disassociated himself from his people over some family differences and lost contact with them long ago before coming to live and invest in my country Malaysia where he lived until he died in 2001, he never contacted his relatives while he lived here neither did they know where and how he ended up. Sequel to that, I am assuring you that nobody will come up to put claims to this fund anytime any day.
Being his legal assistance when he was alive, I am the only person who can confirm to the bank the claim of any next of kin, and also advice the bank to effect payment to such a beneficiary. I want you to put up a claim as the next of kin to the deceased when authorized to do so, and when the money gets into your account. we will share the found on mutual benefits (60% - 40%). 60% for me while 40% for you. All expenses will be deducted before we share the fund on agreed percentage
If you agree with the term, then this is how we are going to progress with this transaction:
(a) .I will provide you with some documents for the claim as we proceed.
(b). When the bank receives your claims application; they will immediately draw my attention to it, notifying me that some one has put up a claim as the next of kin to the deceased. I will be asked by the bank to verify the authenticity of the said claim, and recommend to them what action they should take.
(c). The bank on the receipt of my confirmation will now get in touch with you, asking that you present them with your banking coordinates, so that they can transfer the money into your nominated account. When the bank receives your banking information, they will release the money into your nominated account.
(d). You are to scan and send an identification card such as your international passport or driving license. This is to enable me know if you have the capability to contract.
The above is a very concise explanation of the entire process of this transaction. This mentioned process, will only take some banking days to complete.
Now, I will only do this business with you, on the condition that you will promise to be absolutely honest with me, and that you will respect the confidentiality of this business transaction, and keep it as such. I will provide you with every necessary prove as and when do as I need to protect my interest in this transaction.
Finally, I need to have your full name, your contact address your private phone number for easy communication.
Regards,
Barrister Abdul Razak Yaacob
Now I am thinking, "What kind of idiot does this guy think I am?" I may have been born at night, but I sure wasn't born last night! I did a quick check for a passenger list for AF4590. I didn't come up with any names, but I learned that there were 96 Germans, 1 American, and 1 Austrian (I think). No Aussies or Malaysians mentioned. Since part of this story rang true, I decided to keep this going:
Ok. On the off chance that your late client may have been my next of kin, I will reply to you. You wrote that you were your client's closest friend and confident for several years until his death. If true, I would like you to send me the following information:
Your client's FULL name. His Date of Birth His height, in inches His eye and hair color. Any picture you have of him.
This information should be easy for you retrieve if you two were so close. Once you have sent this information to me, I will review it and then determine if your client may have actually been my next of kin.
Additionally, I will require the following information from you:
A copy of your Law Degree A copy of your Business License A copy of your License to Practice Law in your country of residence A description of your Law practice, and what part of Law you specialize in. At least 3 references from past or present clients who will testify to your business practices. I will need full names, positions, and contact information that I can verify.
I will await your reply. I will release no personal information of mine until I have all the above information and I have it independently verified.
Thank You,
RC

Dear Friend,
Can you make it here so that every thing will be done while you are here. I wanted to proceed immediately by preparing an agreement of this transaction but you dont want it as fast as possible.
Please let me know the time you are arriving as that will assist us instead of me respresenting you in court here.
Regards Abdul,
Now according to him it has been seven years since his client died. Why all the rush, I'm thinking? How and when did I suddenly become his friend? And why does he ignore my request for proof of his identity? I smell a rat. Here is my reply:
Where is 'here'? I cannot give any serious consideration to this until I see your credentials and conclusive proof that your deceased client was my next of kin.

I will like to let you know that if we are in any way want to accomplish this transaction, we are going to have some level of mutual understanding. You are the person that will contact the bank. I think every vital information you need will be given to you but it will be when i Know that you are willing to work with me to accomplish this transaction.
I hope all is well with you.

Two can play this game, says I:
Dear Barrister Abdul,
Didn't I make myself clear to you? I require specific information from you to prove your authenticity. I do not do business with complete strangers.
Money is not the object here. Information is.

Now lets see if he continues to waste his time with me. I actually have time to kill, so I don't mind doing this stuff. If he's wasting his time trying to scam me then he is unable to spend that time scamming someone more gullible. I'll post more if and when they come in.

We all clearly see the objective of those who do those kind of email but I just try to don't understand the objective of those who start chain letters. You know chain letters telling you to forward this email to 10 persons and if you don't, the most terrible things will append. Or if you forward this to 10 persons, a poor little child starving somewhere will be saved,....
You just don't start a letter like this without a reason and we know saving a starving child is not the reason. Then I was thinking about the communication RC had with mr "give me all your information but I won't give you any". Who the hell would fall for this. I mean common, people can't be naive enough to fall for this...
Then I mixed the 2 types of letters. If you think a child could be saved if you forward an email to 10 persons, chances are you might fall for the "I will give you 1000000$ if you help me get my 1000000000000$". So would it be possible that the chains letters are just people scanning for naive people so they can be abused in the "1000000$" hoax. Most of us probably have someone in their contact list that forward those chain list. Not all of them will fall for the 100000$ thing but I would guest "success" percentage is greater with them when you send them the 1000000$ hoax.
But what I just said don't make sense if the person who started the chain letter can get the email back with the emails of all those who fall for it and forward the email. Is it possible? Are they just starting letters and hoping the email will return after a few hops in different inbox? If not, then I just don't understand the reason chain letters exist.

Barrister Abdul is going to long lengths to prove he is for real. He attached to this email two photos he claims are of him, a business card with one of the photos, and a "Certificate of Appreciation" from a so-called trial lawyers association forum. The last was rather cheesily done on a computer using several fonts that are not usually used by printers.
I am much glad to get your responds. I am glad that I have found someone who will assist me in putting up the claim. Like I told you earlier, this transaction is quite simple and has no form of legal implication. All you need now is to proceed with the process of making the claim. We need to have a legal binding (an agreement) which will govern us in the course of this transaction. Attach are my full identities. I will like to have yours to enable me have a good picture of you as well.
The agreement I am going to send to you will guild us till we accomplish the process of the claim.
I need your contact address to enable me prepare the agreement of this transaction. Also, I need the information requested from you on my previous email. Please My friend, I will be glad if we finalize this transaction within a short frame of time as the rate of our progress depends on how fast you are complying.
Attach are my identities once again.I hope this will aid in immensely in bringing us close and as well help in accomplishing this transaction as soon as possible. Have a nice day. BARRISTER ABDUL RAZAK YAACOB
N/B
I need the following information at the moment 1) Your full names 2) Your contact address 3) Copy of your Identity and phone number for easy communication
I still like the irony of the fact that he keeps saying how short the time is. Such a sense of urgency after seven years! :o Now I have actually researched and found the identical scam email listed on another website, but I figure I am doing the world a service by wasting his time on me. Here is my reply:
Hello Again, Barrister Abdul,
I have received your documents and the photos of yourself. They are quite nice. However, these are not the documents I need from you nor do they provide me with any means of determining whether your late client was in fact my next of kin. I will repeat again the information I need from you:
Your client's FULL name. His Date of Birth His height, in inches His eye and hair color. Any picture you have of your late client. A copy of your Law Degree A copy of your Business License A copy of your License to Practice Law in your country of residence A description of your Law practice, and what part of Law you specialize in. At least 3 references from past or present clients who will testify to your business practices. I will need full names, positions, and contact information that I can verify.
Additionally, I require a Death Certificate of your late client which clearly shows his full name and the date of his death.
Once you have provided me will all the above information (and I do mean all), I will then determine whether your late client was in fact my next of kin. Until this happens we cannot proceed with the claim on the bank account. I also need you to give me those references (most important) as well as the names of what professional associations in Penang you are a member of. I am unable to find your business listed in the Malaysia International Chamber of Commerce, the Penang Indian Chamber of Commerce, or the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce. According to one of your earlier emails, you said you were your clients close friend and confident for several years before his death. This means you have been in business for at least the past 10 years. I am surprised that I am unable to find a website for your law practice if you have been in business for that long.
I will await your reply. Time is short for me as I am going on Safari in Africa soon. Once I am there I will have limited access to the internet. Do please gather all the documents I have asked of you so we can proceed. Thank you.
Regards, RC
I decided to pressure him with a time constraint. Hopefully this will cause him to redouble his efforts at getting better or more convincing forgeries and waste even more time on me.
I am wondering to myself how long I can stretch this out before he discovers he's been made. A quick Google search of his name brings up this thread at the top of the search. I don't mind doing it. It helps me pass the time while I am on standby waiting for my next trip into the bush. ::cowboy::

Here's a link to the website I found with nearly identical copies of the first email that was sent to me!
The first post is dated back in May. The second report of this scam is dated Oct 9th and not only is it identical (except for the name of the deceased), it is signed by 'Barrister Abdul Razak Yaacob.'

Time to bring this thread back up from the vault. The ever-so-persistant Barrister Abdullah has sent me another email after a 2.5 year lull in our correspondence.
Hello Cruiser,
how are you Cruiser? and i do hope you are in the best of health. I am sorry i have not been able to be in constant communication with you due to my health concerns. I sincerely do hope that your interest in the transaction i proposed to you is still in existence.
Please do acknowledge if we are able to still continue our prior discussions and together find a way to execute this transaction and make the best out of the situation. I am still in contact with the bank in possession of the funds are i am still in the position to present you as the next of kin to the late client.
Please do knowledge your position and let us proceed without further delay.
Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely.
Barr Abdullah.
"Most interesting" says I. I haven't heard from this guy in this long and now he wants to proceed without further delay? Plus, he addressed me by "Cruiser", not my first name, no Mr, nor Capt, or any honorific. Plus, my last name was very poorly copied and pasted into the form letter in a different font. Methinks a Barrister would pay more attention to such niceties when he's talking about a supposed 7 figure settlement. I guess he forgot about the email I sent him back then that told him he'd been made. OK, I'm gonna start it all over again! Perhaps the original Barrister sold his 'client' portfolio to another hacker. If so, I'm gonna have fun with this piece of pig$h!t as well.
My Reply:
Hello Barrister Abdul,
Thank you for sending me another email. I will repeat what I wrote to you two and a half years ago. Once you have sent me all the information I have requested from you, we may proceed.
Ok. On the off chance that your late client may have been my next of kin, I will reply to you. You wrote that you were your client's closest friend and confident for several years until his death. If true, I would like you to send me the following information: Your client's FULL name. His Date of Birth His height, in inches His eye and hair color. Any picture you have of him. This information should be easy for you retrieve if you two were so close. Once you have sent this information to me, I will review it and then determine if your client may have actually been my next of kin. Additionally, I will require the following information from you: A copy of your Law Degree A copy of your Business License A copy of your License to Practice Law in your country of residence A description of your Law practice, and what part of Law you specialize in. At least 3 references from past or present clients who will testify to your business practices. I will need full names, positions, and contact information that I can verify. I will await your reply. I will release no personal information of mine until I have all the above information and I have it independently verified. Thank You,
RC
Lets see if the prick rises to the bait. >:D

Barrister Abull took the bait.
Hello my friend,
My main interest is to accomplish the release of this fund. I have made it known to you that this transaction is quite legal, has no form of adverse legal implication of any form and absolutely risk free. You should try and hasten up so that we proceed with the legal process by sending the basic information I requested. I will like to call you latter today but don't know the best time to do that.
If you can come here in person, that will aid immensely in speeding up the time we need to complete this transaction, if not, there is no problem..
If you are willing to proceed now, you should send me the basic information I requested which includes.
1) Your full name 2) Your contact address and phone number for easy communication.
Once I have this, I will commence the legal process and update you as I proceed.
I wait to hear from you.
Regards, Abdullah
How curious, says I. He used my name "Cruiser" in his previous email. Now he can't remember my name... just calls me 'friend'. He agains tries to get me to act hastily, and asks me if I could come to wherever he resides. He still hasn't told me exactly where that may be but from earlier research I know he's in Malaysia. Anyway, I've got a little time on my hands so I replied yet again.
Greetings again, Barrister Abdul,
I appreciate your persistence in this matter. However, I will repeat again the information I need from you before we can proceed:
Your client's FULL name. His Date of Birth His height, in inches His eye and hair color. Any picture you have of your late client. A copy of your Law Degree A copy of your Business License A copy of your License to Practice Law in your country of residence A description of your Law practice, and what part of Law you specialize in. At least 3 references from past or present clients who will testify to your business practices. I will need full names, positions, and contact information that I can verify.
Additionally, I require a Death Certificate of your late client which clearly shows his full name and the date of his death.
Once you have provided me will all the above information (and I do mean all), I will then determine whether your late client was in fact my next of kin. Until this happens we cannot proceed with the claim on the bank account. I also need you to give me those references (most important) as well as the names of what professional associations in Penang you are a member of. I am unable to find your business listed in the Malaysia International Chamber of Commerce, the Penang Indian Chamber of Commerce, or the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce. According to one of your earlier emails, you said you were your clients close friend and confident for several years before his death. This means you have been in business for at least the past 10 years. I am surprised that I am unable to find a website for your law practice if you have been in business for that long.
Again, I will emphasize that I need proof of your authenticity before I release any personal information about myself to you. If time is so short you should have no difficulty sending me the information I have requested of you.
I will await your reply.
I didn't give him my name at all. We'll see if he replies with even a portion of the information I asked of him. If nothing else it'll force him to take time running around on a wild goose chase which will prevent him from suckering someone else more gullible. My civic duty, you could say. >:D

Actually, if it wasn't too creepy to give out your phone number, I guess a phone conversation with that guy would probably be quite interesting!
And is this guy's name Abdul or Abdullah now? (Or is Abdul just the short version?)
Title: Re: HOAX :D
Post by: Rooster Cruiser on May 30, 2011, 11:25:06 PM
Whoops! Good catch, Stef! He is still signing his name as Abdullah. Not that I think that is his real name. He stole someone's identity. Under no circumstance would I even consider giving him my telephone number. It would be too easy to for him to charge things to it. In reality, I have nothing to say to this scum sucker. I'll just let him continue to spend his time trying to get it from me! Hehe. ;D ::rambo::

we had a guy trying to trick us by pretending to buy books and shirts from us wholesale and selling them in Australia not too long ago. I was messing with him for a while but then got tired of it. If I can still find the emails I'll post them.
I guess the more time we mess with them the less time they have spamming other innocent people......

Some Aussie girl actually scammed the scammers! Unfortunately, she spent the money they scammed and is now in jail for it. Too bad...

Love those scams, some are just so ridiculous... but some manage to come up with some interesting replies... Reminds me of this one, that made me spend a whole evening ROFL back then, opposite way of yours, but so hilarious...
