Scammer Tale: Part 3 – Party Time!!!

Posted by The Jaded Tech July - 23 - 2010 - Friday 1 COMMENT

Awww….our poor scammer is ‘not impressed’….

Dear Valued Customer,

Our office received your mail and the content was well noted. Well I am not impressed about the mail you sent me, because he shows as if you are not appreciative about my effort, of making you have your funds transfer to your bank account in your country. However,  All I want you to do at this point is for you to put your mind at rest As you are in the right correspondence to redeem your claim, so you have nothing to worry about, because you must surely obtain your winning funds as soon as you meet with the required amount needed for the cost of transfer charges.

Also i will advice you to stop doubting the LEGITIMACY of this company, as it is against the Western Union. Because the Promotion Organization might frown at this development of yours, so all i want you to do at this point is to go ahead and make the payment for the cost of transfer, in other for you to have your winning funds transfer to your bank account in your country as soon as possible, because your funds is presently awaiting for transfer already.

Note that as soon as this payment is made by you, i assure you with 100% Guarantee and Trust that you must surely obtain your winning funds.

I expect you should take to my advice and act accordingly, as I will be expecting a positive answer this time.

Your urgent response to this mail will be in the interest of your claims.

Yours truly
Dr. Wilfred Davidson

Ok, so I let our scammer stew for about a week(Candy can pout online with the best of them…) and then replied when ‘Candy’ was in a party mood!

Dear Dr. Wilfred David


What is this Western Union you speak of?  I don’t understand.  Is it a bank or something?  Are they an offshoot of my bank, The Great Western USA Money Grubbers Bank?  I didn’t know they even had a Union!  My, that sounds….confusing.  I usually just deal with cash from my johns.  Boy, sure lots of partying this week!  Do you like to party?  If I get all this money, I can buy your a ticket and you can fly here!  Wouldn’t that be cool!


Uh-oh….Daddy….oh, I mean Mr Big just came in….gotta go!  Write back soon!


Love


Candy!

I wonder if he’ll notice my dropping letters off his name?  Last 3 gone in this reply :)

About us

Having been active around technology for almost 30 years, and seeing many people failing to grasp both it’s importance as well as it’s basic usage, I decided it was high-time to show the world how idiotic they can be. People simply need to have a bigger vision of the tools that have been given to them.
