So I posted an online ad on Craigslist trying to sell some jewerly and someone contacted me. Now automatically I was suspicious, and the more I wrote to him the more fun I had. I read about a guy doing something similar to a scammer so I tried it myself. Ha ha, many might say I have no life, I say I love entertainment :)
Scammer Scott:
Hello,
I will like to purhase the item for a friend whom i met when i went for a conference recently but due to the internent scamms out there with different Bogus account of check,i have decided paying you via alertpay so that both parties can be more safe,You can read more @ www.alertpay..com .I will await your email with your name and address with your phone today so that i can proceed with your payment immediately as i wanted thier pastor to bless the item before Engagment/Wedding ceremony date . Thanks
Mel:
Mr. Scott,
Are you still interested in buying it? I need to know where I will be mailing the ring to. After talking with my wife, she suggested that I mail it first and trust that you would send a check instead of going through alert pay. I am a person who is christian and doesnt want to rip anyone off. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, Scott? I do, I believe I can trust you :) Let me know where I would mail it, or where I should send it. I'm so excited to get this ring out of my hands! Thank you for saving the day!
(now why the hell am I selling a engagement ring when i mentioned i had a wife, you would think that would be a redflag and he would pick up on this)
From Scott:
Thank you for respomnding. Yes I am a man of God its nice to know you are and I alike. I choose alertpay because its better to do transcations better. So if you sign up you can get the money. All I need is a name your address and your phone number. Thank you for selling your item and the friend will be happy to know you are goin to send it. I dont live close so its best to go through alertpay ok.
Dear Mr. Scott,
My good man, thank you for responding, you will be happy to know that the ring is safe and awaiting your blessed hands. The only problem is Scott, well, I am currently homeless. My wife and I had a terrible accident. While we were fighting one night, and I admit, that wasnt the Christian in me, I think the devil got in me that night with one too many shots of tequila. Well back to the story, she wouldn't shut her big fat trap! You know how women are! Well I must of pimped slapped her something fierce, my dear man, I didnt mean to slap her so hard that she knocked over the tea pot. Well to make a short story a little shorter, the water ignited a fire, and our house became engulfed in flames. I tried to make her roll in the flames to put out the fire, after all she is a big woman, but to no avail, we fled. So we are in between places while living out of a wal-mart shopping cart, which is why the ring has to go, so I can pay for her lipo-suction surgery. I'd rather be homeless with a hot wife, than an ugly dog-face of a woman. I'm sorry for revealing all my troubles, times are hard Scott, its damn hard. With that said, I can mail the ring to you, I just need to know where u are? Oh by the way my name is Mel McCockinblocker, can't give you an address and we dont have a phone.
Mr. McCockinblocker,
Thank you for the reply. I sorry to hear about the house you wife and you lost, and Im sorry. If you could just sign up to alertpay and we can make easier payment that way. I will pray that you and your wife is safe and can use the money i send to start a new place. If you can just give me a adress i can use, I can sned you payment, and i also need a account to transfer money if you want me to just deposit a check if you should decide to not use alertpay. I am in Nigeria Thanks
Dear Scott,
Hey my man, sorry it took me awhile to get back, I had to send my wife out to get some extra money, if you know what I mean. Dont ever get married scott, women are a pain! Anyway I do have an account number, but I forgot what it was. Maybe you can give me your information and I can deposit the ring into your account. America has a new system where we can deposit jewelry and other items into accounts free of charge and it can travel to you. My old friend from high school in europe deposited a gas can full of gas because the gas prices are so high! Good God scott! My whole paycheck went to trying to pay for gas, thats why my wife and I cant get a house, we are short on funds to fill up our cart with gas, its terrible. Scott, I feel so open and feel like I can share anything with you. I see you as a friend Scott, are you my friend Scott? Im so depressed, please help me get that money, I need it, my wife is getting more haggard by the minute, we do need that surgery.
Mr. McCockinblocker:
I dont want to play game ok? I need a valid account numbner and you need to send me your information. I can not help you dear sir if you dont send me what i ask ok? yes, i am a friend and i will sned you money to make y our wife prety. please just send me the information as i asked it. My friend is getting married and needs the ring asap. thanks
My Good Friend Scott:
Wow, testy testy! Sounds to me as if someone has the same problem as I do and is crabby, you must have ugly wife syndrome too! I am just kidding my dear friend, friends kid around. Scott, I will send you the information as soon as my wife gets back from her night out making me some money. Scott do you need a spelling coach? I noticed the more frustrated you get the worse your spelling is becoming. Am I the cause of such bad errors? Are you upset with me? I wouldnt want my bestfriend to be upset, Ive never met you but feel like I know you so well. Please don't be mad. I will send the info. as soon as I get it. Until then, I want to tell you about my night out with the misses. Boy, was it crazy, a crackhead tried to rob us of our shopping cart, I think when you get us the money we are investing in a home security system on our cart so they can't take our belongings. My dear man, I do hope this works out.
Yours Truly
Your bestest friend
Mel
(by this time he was getting pissed and no response)
Scott,
Hellllooo? Why no response, we were off to a good start, you know, I thought we were bestfriends, did you lie to me about being my friend and giving us money to buy the surgery? You know, I am a christian and dont appreciate liars. Well anyway I was writing to let you know I got that account number you wanted. But I guess you dont want it now, so goodbye.
Hi friend
thank you, please send it to me now, so i can get you money. i am not mad, i just was out getting dinner. I am happy you can send the ring and I just need an account number and name, i dont want you to send ring thru the account, just mail me the ring, but first i need an account number and name, and i put money in so you have money now. alertpay will provide you with my info once u sign up
My dear Scott,
Good to hear from you, I didnt know your dinner and my dinner where at the same times, after all you are in Nigeria. I was worried about not hearing from you, at first I thought someone had taken your body and maybe used your skin like the guy did on "silence of the lambs" as an overcoat or dress. I hated that part when he grabbed the little dog into that hole. Jodi foster was a total hottie in that movie...Hellloooo Clariiiceeee.
Scott, why are we back on alertpay f*ck alert pay, alert dog, alert cat, alert butt, alert nuts! I dont want to be alerted. No alert pay, my wife told me not to give you my account number now because you "done pissed off daddy". I was going to sell the ring to you and also I had a diamond necklace because I thought u were legit!!
Dear friend
ok you have necklace too? we can work together, if you sign up for alertpay and give me the information i asked you can have more moeny ok? it will all work out. just pleaae send i am running out of time ok, my friend, you can send it now
Dearest Scott
Hi, Im Mr. MCCockinblocker's lawyer, he left me his e-mail password to log in to let you know about a tragic incident, and in his last note told me to e-mail you, there's been a terrible accident. They stepped out of their cart to go to dinner and a blind driver with cateracts hit them head on. They are passed and gone, however they left a will stating that they wanted you to have their ring and necklace which is estimated to be $35,000 in US Currency. However in order to do this we will need your account number, name, address, and phone number to deposit the money that is owed to you. If you could contact the Law Offices by e-mailing me that information, we can get you that money asap.
