Obviously I'll be quitting my job on Monday morning and buying the Aston Martin that I didn't get for Crimbo! Strangely, I don't remember talking to him on the phone?

Lucky you tell him that you can wait for his return so that he can pay the fees. For his trouble of arranging everything you feel generous and you split the money instead of 50%-50% to 70%-30%

What I did, was give the impression that I am hooked and after a week, tell them that "all I needed $2000" to get some legal papers in order to give them access to an account.
It didn't work, but it was fun to try to trick the trickster.

The funny thing is, that these blokes get away with hundeds of millions from America alone.

The Kuwaitis say "if someone is so easy to trick and you don't trick him, them shame on you"

Here's my reply to Mr/Ms/Whatever Vera Lucas (sounds like summat you catch at the swimming baths).


Dear Vera Lucas,

Many thanks for contacting me on the matter of delivery of the monies discussed over the phone. It appears that an administrative oversight may have occured at your end as I have already recieved 1 x box although I have not as yet had chance to furnish the $120 security fee. On checking the contents I was pleasantly suprised to find a substantial amound of cash in US Dollars. After almost two hours of counting and re-counting my wife and I confirmed that $7,647,038 was the exact total. The confusing issue for me is that the parcel did not originate from Benin but from Dubai, UAE. To clarify matters can you either confirm or deny that this is one of the shipments made by yourself?

Your friend and future business colleague,

Nice one!!

[Scuttler]

I remember when I received one......I gave the guy the number for the SFO and told him to contact me during working hours.

A day later I got an email saying I'd given him the wrong number and could I let him know the correct one so I advised him to call me on my local police station's number.

He soon gave up. Not sure if it constitutes wasting police time but as it was an attempted fraud I figured I was cutting out the middle man (me) by giving him the police number
