***My Fun With A Scam Artist***

[mastakoosh]

I think I will start replying to every one I get that way I take up their time from harassing others. I'll try to drag it out for as long as I can and then at the end I'll give them the ol' "I have a friend in south Africa that owes me $5600.00 and I'll have him send you a money order and you take out your fees plus a little extra and Western Union the rest to me"

hell yeah man, think of the best ways you can to fuck with them.

Anyone have any ideas on what my next step should be? I was thinking maybe telling them:
1. I don't have a bank account
2. I went to the bank and they are having trouble with the information that was given to me.
3. Ask if there is any other way I could pay.

I would like to drag this out as long as possible and take as much of their time as I can.

i would say that the bank is having trouble recognizing the bank information. say that they should send you $1.00 so that you have their bank info, if you really want to fuck with them, set up a bank account with no money in it ( and one that can't get a balance of under $0 so you can't be charged overdraft fees). then give them the info for the bank, and tell them to send you money cause your bank doesn't recognize the info, that way your bank will have the info to send them their money.

Tell them you will have to mail them a certified check. Then print one out on your comp,wipe your ass with it,seal it in a baggy,put in in an envelope and mail it to them.

You should just send them a dollar in an envelope filled with anthrax.

 

[ORECAL]

i still think you should try and get them to send you money first. really play them at their own game.

I'm trying to take up their time, not mine!!

 

[AverageJoe21]

I love the idea of the money order in a plastic bag! I think I may just do that!! I'll take pics too
Here is what I came up with
I sent it today

Hi James Madiba Esq,
I have spent the last two days dealing with my bank to try and get you the fees you require. It seems there is some sort of problem with the account no. or the swift code. I was getting a little confused by what they were telling me so, I'm not really sure exactly what is causing the delay. I've talked to the manager of my branch and she is going to have the corporate office call me to see if we can get this resolved. Here is the information that I have given them to make the payment. If I have something wrong PLEASE correct it so I can get my money ASAP!
Thank you!
Jeff Starnes

[smokintreez]

tell them you need the exact information from them on what to put on a money order or travlers check and that u will go to the bank right away and send it....then after they reply tell them if the money order doesnt work that is on the way youll try any other way that u just want to get your money and you are willing to spend whats in your bank account to get it

 

[smokintreez]

not exactly in those words but make em think they really got one

 

[AverageJoe21]

I wish I could just shit in an envelope and send it to them. But, I don't think it would make it thru the postal system

 

[smokintreez]

yeah the fucked up thing is they really get people all the time

 

[AverageJoe21]

Just got this reply today. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to say next.
I sent a e-mail to the bank that the account is at and did get a reply from them. But, they seamed to be more confused than anything.


Dear Jeff Starnes,

Be informed that the bank account information's below are all correct. Also, this is to inform you that the deadline for possible Grant claim is very close as I have just been informed by the Grant Award organisers. I advice that you make the required charges available as soon as possible to enable me proceed as necessary.

[ORECAL]

you just asked for a way to fuck with them.... if you don't want to take up your time to fuck with them, then don't fuck with them. their game is to get money out of you, so if you start trying to do it to them, maybe they would give up, which would be beating them at their game. you could have just said thanks for the idea and been done with it. is there a reason you had to be rude about it?

 

[nowstopwhining]

Dude just get them to give you an adress by telling them you have to send a check or MO and send them a piece of paper or eve nsome toilet paper smeared with shit...in a plastic bag...stuck in an envelope.
