The End of the Scam...

I hope I am not boring ya'll with these email scams...I can
almost feel my followers dropping off...which is why I tried to
compress this into one weekend, when blogging is slow.

But just when I thought they had finally figured out I was
pulling their leg, things are finally getting more interesting.
This is what I have been waiting for...the part where I have to
make a commitment, and then try to get them to waste their time
while they see if I actually deliver on anything.

I also now have two contacts whom I can play off each other.
It may be possible to get one of them to think they are being
scammed by the OTHER one.

This urgent email arrived from Dr. Brown early this morning:

Attention: Cappy Joey,

Thnaks for your email and contents noted. I have also recieve
scan copy of your Rolls Royce and with the id.
(My notes: I am surprised he accepted the 'Rolls Royce ID' as
being a legitimate form of ID).

Secondly, there is no time left, since you don't have
international passport at this point, which makes it impossible
for you to come to london immediately. I hereby advice you to
hire a lawyer here and pay him so he can help you go to the
court and get the documents B and C.

Note, other clients, who cannot come use the services of the
lawyer. The cost which you have to pay is US$3,000 only.
I have discuss with the lawyer Mr. John Smith, he has promise to
get these documents on your behalf once you send him the fees of
US$3,000.He confirm that you use his information and sent it
through western union money transfer on his name as follows:

Name : John Smith
Country: London-UK
Amount: US$3,000

Once you make the payment via western union money transfer,
foward the details so that the lawyer can pick up the moeny and
commence working for you immediately.

Waiting for your prompt and urgent response.

Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Godwin Brown.
**********************************
I rapidly dashed this back to him:

My good Doctor Brown:

I am happy to report to you that I have located my passport!
I had not lost it after all!

Since you have not responded to my letter where I asked you
WHEN I need to be in London, I have taken the liberty of
sending the $3,000 to Mr. John Smith. Mr. Smith has received
the money, and he also mentioned that I needed to bring
an additional $12,000 US with me to take care of legal fees.
(My notes: they are trying to get me to show up with large
amounts of cash so they can rob me).

Anyway, Mr. Smith will be meeting me at Heathrow tomorrow
evening (Monday). I asked him if I should clear this with you,
but he told me it is already set up. I sent him my flight info,
he will be picking me up at the airport, and he says he will
contact you later on this week.
(My notes: the idea here is to make Dr. Brown think that he has
been ripped off by Mr. Smith).

Please reply to me quickly if I need to do anything else, as I
will be departing within ten hours.

Cappy Joey
**********************************
Almost instantly, I got this reply back from Dr. Brown:

CAPPY JOEY...

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO MEET
WITH MR. SMITH!! FOR YOU TO RECEIVE THIS
MILLIONS YOU MUST BE ARRANGING TRANS. WITH
MYSELF..MRS. KING HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THIS
MEETINT WITH SMITH.
YOU MUST CALL ME EXTENSIVLY...
(My notes: he gave me an international phone number I am
supposed to call. I did not call him, I choose to let this rest
for now. My work here is finished).

My final notes on this:

I cannot take credit for the idea to play them like this. I got
this idea from a gentlemen who published his experiences with
these scammers years ago on this page.

This guy is amazing, and much better than I am. I tried to be as
funny as him, but I fell way short. Although the first time I
tried this a year or two ago, I had one of them running half-way
across India to get to some fake American Express Office to get
the money I had 'wired' them. I almost felt bad for him.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Peace be with you.
