lol, that scammer went to the bank again
he sent me an email complaining that he couldn't get the money, haha
maybe I should keep trolling him and have him keep running to the bank
I'm gonna tell him that I've confirmed with Western Union that the money is activated and ready. See what happens....


this is what he said in his email:

=================================

Hello,
we are already ship the phones today but when we get to the bank to receive the money we were told no money send with the information you gave to us so we have to stop the package ok,

so you go to the western union and tell them that the money is not available for pick up ok,

so that they will check there system and make some correction ok,

do reply back now.

thanks.


===================================


So, this is what I emailed him back:


Hi,

I have confirmed with Western Union that the money has been activated and it's ready.
Please check with your bank again.
Remember to email me the fedex tracking number after you ship the phones out.

Thanks!

Regards,
Sum-Ding Wong


==============================

LOL, let's see how long is it gonna take for this dumba55 to realize he's been played around like a fool.

this is cool. it sounds like a movie, not just any movie but top class featuring those italians.

Trly speaking mates and o warn you all, these Nigerians are used to this, you can call it fraud, scam, apam it doesnt matter. In my country they have robbed a lot of people. Corruption is the order of their day.
Get a copy of the book "No Longer at Ease' by Chinua Achebe. It brings nigerian life as is.

LOL, guess what? I got home today, and moments after I turned on my computer, the scammer messaged me again! lol, he still can't get the money from the bank, so this is after he went there like 3 times already! Anyways, I told him I double checked with Western Union here, and every looks good and ready, and told him to go to the bank again. lol, I wonder how many times he has to go to the bank before he realized how dumb he is

Anyways, hey guys, give me some ideas on how to troll him more... I'm kinda running out of ideas here.


Here's the MSN log:

I think, next time he messages you to ask why the money's still not there, just get in first and tell him thanks very much - you received the phones today. That'll mess with his head!

I am absolutely loving this!

Anyways, hey guys, give me some ideas on how to troll him more... I'm kinda running out of ideas here.


I guess that no matter how dumb he is, he MUST be starting to think that there's something funny going on by now. So...

How about you tell him that you have complained to Western Union about the continual "mix-ups" and have received the following email from them:

"Dear Mr. Ding Wong,

We are very sorry to hear about the problems that you have encountered with our services recently. I have passed your complaint on to our customer relations manager, Jenny Taylier, who has assured me that the matter will be looked into thoroughly as soon as she has made contact with Mike Hunt, our senior liaisons officer (UK division).

We wish to apologise again for any inconvenience caused and to assure you that we are doing all we can to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

Yours Sincerely,

Mike Oxlong

Customer Services Manager"


Something like that maybe?

LOL!!!! Scammer is back from the bank - empty handed!!
He kept asking WHY, WHY WHY?
So I pretended that I'm calling Western Union and I told him that the lady at Western Union assured that the money is ready for withdraw at their Greece branches.....

All of the sudden.... guess what? he told me, hey since they are shipping out the cool Sony Ericsson P5i from NIGERIA, they want me to tell the Western Union lady to forward the money to .... why am I not surprised - NIGERIA!!!!

this is funny, if you think the scammer has had enough order some more phones so you own him more money.
