Ever wonder what happens when you reply to the Nigerian scammers?
Well, I did. So, the next time I got an e-mail from one, I responded!
Here is where I am at now. Sorry for the length, but It is basically a cut and paste from a junk yahoo mail address that I use to sign up for stuff on websites. You can see from the E-mails, that it uses the Last name Sexton. This is indeed my last name, please don't stalk me! (it's too bad that my real name isn't Brian Griffin, that would be sweet!) Enjoy! The First Letter I Recieved Quote:
This is what I sent back to him. Quote:
It only took 3 hours for them to respond! Here is the First Response Quote:
So here it is! and there is whatever this is, maybe his "law license" or something...lol Nice right? Well, about 3 hours later I get this: Quote:
Man oh man, he looks rich! I am gonna be rolling in the green soon! So now, the ball is in my court, I am gonna put some stuff together, like a picture, and an address, and i'll post on here when I finally do. Edit: I have sent them another e-mail: Here is what I wrote: Quote:
Mod note: pic removed due to age, see below DIGG

Hehe. The picture you sent looks familiar though...perhaps he was an actor in the 80's?

LOL this is hilarious. Thanks for sharing! I wonder if the Nigerian realizes that you're fooling with him.

There have been people on some of the other boards I frequent who have done the same thing. Some have drug it out for WEEKS, getting the people to photograph themselves with signs saying embarassing things (that would only be familiar to people who knew English/message board slang), and all kinds of crazy stuff.

I know a guy who once did a similar thing. It was when that african gold scamming thing was going around, right. I don't really know the details but I know he brought their product's quality into question. He even had a buddy of his pretend to be some type of chemist or something or other when they spoke over the phone.
Long story short: he ended up scamming the scammers for something over 100 USD I thought it was pretty funny.

The following website has been discussed several times before:
http://www.419eater.com/ It is one of the funniest sites I remember encountering. It includes "strategy" for baiting these people and pages upon pages of pictures of the scammers looking stupid. I'm too lazy to fuck with these people so I get my kicks by going to this site. The ultimate accomplishment is to actually scam the scammers as PredeconInferno alluded to above.

Here is what I sent back to the good Barrister Quote:
The next e-mail I got was sent from Barr. Thomas Cole, the original scammer, It reads Quote:
I am writing my response to him right now, and I will update this when it is finished. If anyone has any advice on what they want said to this ass-clown, let me know! But just so you know, my main goal is to get this bastard to hold up a sign that says TFPROJECT.ORG IS AWESOME **NEW UPDATE** I sent Mr. Cole an e-mail, Here it goes Quote:

The fact that this scam ever worked on people is truly astonishing, because it's pure gold. Thanks for keeping us appraised of your "progress" with Barrister Cole.
On a side note, did he really just say he copied his "international passport?" Last time I checked, those don't exist, and if they do, they don't look like a reskinned US passport with a few fields changed. Keep it coming! |

These whackjobs are amazing in their perserverence. Check this out, maybe it will give Crack a few ideas: http://www.nigerian419fraud.freeserve.co.uk/tina.htm
Even after the counter-scam is revealed, they persist at least for a time.

you can get some great ideas here to mess with them. The best is when you convince them you are going to fly in on a certain day and then have them email you all pissed off but then you email them all pissed off telling them you were there for a few days in their shitty country and they didnt' meet you like they promised. See if you can get them to meet you at the airport more than once.

It will be interesting to see if the "last possible day" gets extended suddenly if you wait beyond 4th July, and for what reason.
