-----------------
i also cannot find my next reply, it involved me killing my wife to make a room for him and trying to find out his favourite decor for it. here is his reply anyway
Dear Father Tristram,


Thanks for your mail, then i can see that you are not
capable to help me out to transfer this money into
your account, however i will go ahead and find some
one to help me out.

Thanks for your mail and for your rung efforts.
Best regards
Micheal radci.
------------

all this ended with me telling him i ve reported him to the correct authorities, called him a **** and i never heard another thing since.

 

[evzy]

And its always good to know that the authorities will never do anything about this kind of junk.......

Class that though dude, wind up the dodgy fraudsters as much as possible imo! Bit of a shame you had to kill your wife though and it all turned out to be a scam

 

[tris-]

i remember some of my replys where of him sending me money to pay fees so i could accept his sum. and i was asking for a photo of him holding a sign with something crazy written on it.

the fact i got his supposed address and stuff i thought it worth reporting it, but no one botherd to reply to me.

edit: i found all my replys in my outlook express folders, incoming!

 

[- English -]

can u summarise it for the people with little concentration

 

[tris-]

this is my reply to his email where he gives me his bank details -

Dear Micheal
Before i can give you my bank details, i will need a deposit of no less than
50USD otherwise my bank will not let me give out details for such a big
transaction. For a transaction like this, my bank has to pay for a red
carpet and a limosine to carry the giant size comical cheque. Could you
please observe that i am deaf and mute and so unable to phone any numbers.
I am sure i made this clear in my previous email. My solicitors would also
like to speak to a legal representitive of yours, before we can accept your
50USD deposit. You will need a legal repesentitive from my country, i can
supply phone numbers for you to hire one.
You mentioned people are trying to kill you? I am unsure if i can allow you
to live with me if you have assasins after you. What protection can you
supply me?

God bless and many hugs,

Mr T.


i also sent this aswell straight after

Also my son, i must know these following things too -
Your birthday
Your zip/postal code
Where you currently live

The University has asked for these things before they can fully complete
your application for continued learning.

Love
MR .T
-----------

my mail to barrister congo which i dont think i got a reply to

Dear Barrister Kongo,
I am now the new father of Mr Radci and i am helping him to transfer his old fathers money to me. My contact in Mr Radci bank is Dr: Pichop Jean Director Of West Atlantic Bank. I am in need of a certificate of change of ownership so the diplomat of Mr Radci can bring me the funding. Please advise me on this as it is very urgent and i need it by wednesday.

Regards,
Mr .T

---------------------------

i then sent this email to him after mailing the barrister

Wonderful son,
I have emailed your barister but before i can arrange dates and times, my
bank has told me i MUST fully allocate you in an educational place before we
are allowed to accept the money. For the University of Holy Sacramoney to
accept you i need the following information -

Your date of birth
Your postal or zip code
Where you currently live

They also need a photograph of you holding a sign. This sign must show the
University seal, the seal is "ow n3d" Can you please create this sign on a
paper and email me this photo. Again i cannot accept any monies untill your
education place is sorted. I understand the urgency and i want this to go
as fast as possible so we can finally live together on our island. I look
forward to building a construction company which should bring us great
wealth. For your diplomat, i will give 50,000 USD because he is doing a
favour and he does deserve the money. Please note the importance that i
cannot accept any money untill you follow the above instructions.

God Bless
Mr .T

----------

this is my reply to the email where he gives me his postal address

My son,
You are not understanding me. Before i can transfer or accept any money i
must secure the person in education. this is the law of my country. I must
follow my laws, because this deal we are doing is lawful. Now before i can
do any money transfers you MUST do the following -

Take a photograph of your self holding a sign saying "ow n3d" . This is the
seal of the university of holy sacramony. Take this picture and email me
it. With this picture i can secure a certifcate of imunisation for you and
then money can be exchanged. Untill you do this, we can proceed no further.

Father Mr .T

-------------------
and this is my reply where he says thanks for trying but..

[deleted] maybe convtreversial

 

[evzy]

In my line of work I kinda deal with people like that... and they aren't as dim as they sometimes make out believe me.. Those are the most basic scams they use to be honest, but its surprising how many people do get suckered in.
