A Scammer replies...

So I sent the same email to several of the scammers who spammed me ( see furtherback in my tumblr ). Two have replied. Here’s one of them, and then my reply. Let’s see if I can get any details off *him*. ( Would love to send him a bunch of bricks via his fedex account or something. )

From:Mr. Lucky James David

Mr. Lucky James David

And so, I reply:

Dear James David, or please, since we are friends, may I call you Lucky?

I am very good, thank you! My company, Hugarses has just won an award for worlds best practice in anal fissure treatments. We are even now planning to look beyond the rectum in our business dealings.

Now, on to the matter at hand. Your offer sounds amazing. Yes, it would be much better that instead of the bank getting such a sum, that we should. I fully agree to this plan and I believe, for no particular reason at all that we are entitled to this money. So long as we know this, nothing will go wrong!

I will be happy to send you details, however, for security reasons and to make sure the tax man is not informed, I will have a courier physically send you all the details you have requested. I do not believe in leaving paper trails, especially electronic ones, as I’m sure you’d agree. Do you have a FedEx account I may send you the material with? Certainly I will also need an address to send to. Do this now, and I can have the papers to you by Monday ready for you.

Also, I have several accounts in several countries. I will need to know from you, which nation will be best for these? I operate in the USA, Australia, the UK and also the small territory of Anguilla. Anguilla may be best as I keep my own personal fortune there and I assure you they give very good service.

Once you have confirmed which is best, I will send the relevant details.

I look forward to a good and prosperous business relationship with you Lucky!

Your friend,

Ben

"I believe, for no particular reason at all that we are entitled to this money."

Brilliant.

Still don't think it beats the initial email where I stated " I was looking off shore for future investments so you really did email me out of the blue completely randomly at exactly the right time."

The first email back and forth ( different scammer though, but I sent the same reply to several ) is on my tumblr: http://templesmith.tumblr.com/post/338016436/and-so-it-begins
