More on scamming scammers

[luckykaa]

Sigh, these Nigerian scammers seem ot have lost interest in me. I think they've twigged that they're not going to get any cash from either of my personalities.

The story - I replies as Arnold J. Rimmer, but that all seemd a little dull, so I decided to mention him to a friend, and then deny all knowledge of it. Tony was a lot more fun.

dear sir, attached is the documents you requested for.also the power of attorney which you have to sign and send to the security company in spain,together with the certificate of deposit.the three key code is 183 for the two trunk box. i wait to hear from you soon. abbas bundu

I replied:

Yes, yes, very impressive. Now send a copy of the real passport rather than a cheap forgery. And while you're at it, how about you send me the document from the security company saying that they need the $3000.

For some reason, suggesting that this was a forgery upset him.

dear mr.tony, please enough of your cheap vulgarities.what is wrong with ikpukus passport?you can reach the security company and find out things for your self.they will tell you how much it will cost to claim the consignment from the security company. i hope you are competent enough to handle such transaction then being arrogant. let me know when you are ready to go to spain. abbas bundu

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Mr. Bundu. You want me to tell you how I know the passport is a fake? Why, so you can fix it and send me one without the obvious giveaways? Well, quite simply, the CRC is non-compliant with IS-137. It could possibly be an IS-191, but that's unlikely unless you're telling me that Mr. Ikpuku is a chihuahuia. But the main thing is that Ivory Coast passports don't look like that. No, I will not go into more detail as to how and why they are different. The only way this would benefit you is if you were to make a more convincing fake. I don't care what Ikpuku's real name and nationality is. I just want a copy of a real passport with his real picture on it. The number for the spanish security company doesn't work. You are quite clearly a lazy incompetent idiot. Now, stop messing me about, and give me the information I need to claim the consignment.

Got a little repetitive after that with my accusation that he's a fool, and him accusing me of incompetence.

But really - Apart from the fact that I know it's a fake - I'm surprised he doesn't realise Ivory Coast passports don't say "IVORY COAST" on them.


My other incarnation has just headed off to London to meet with the security company, so we'll see how confusing we can get. He seems to be getting tired of that guy though.

I've started another

I salute you in the name of Allah,the most high God.I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late General Sani Abacha, former Nigerian Military ... blah blah need your help

Well, I had to respond:

You story of woe upsets and discombobulates me. If there are any facilitations I can expediate that will disembroil your predicament, please allow me to meliorate.

Why, I thank you for your kindly missive. I must rebuff your concupiscence to use a legal practitioner. Such personages are often acutely obfuscatory. I must implore that all confabulation be with yourself. My personal facsimile number is: 1-320-213-3629 I hope we can effectuate this covenant with utmost precipitancy.

Lamentably, my exclusive contact in this endeavour must be yourself. I simply cannot trust the fidelity of said practioner without a concursion. As I enuinciated, I must make all dealings with you.

Admittedly, my use of English is not that great there. I'm stretching definitions to breaking point. It doesn't really matter though. My aim is to be incomprehensible.

I'll put these on a website if anything amusing happens.

Also discovered a forum for other scam baiters. My comments caused a Mr Stu DeBaker Hawke to email me. Seems to want me to join his team. His email was a little cryptic.

100 Worst Britains is on in the background. Channel 4's 100 lists of lists is starting to get a bit tiring. I would have liked to have nominated all those talking heads they use to add commentary. Most of these people seem to have a career of these things, and they're not that funny! And really, they have no right to criticise these people for being opinionated.
