**** This is one of the most exciting episode so far!
**** You guys are gonna love this! 
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.....
BAMMM!!!
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!!!!
ROFLMAO!!
Heheheh... so let the game continues.....
He thinks that I'm gonna go back to Western Union to get a new receipt for him to withdraw from Nigeria
Anyways, here's the MSN log:

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

You can say that Western Union need a photo ID of the receiver so it can reprocess and release the money. Once you get that monkey pic post it here |

How about getting really angry with him telling him that you got proof that he withdrew the money but still not dispatching the phones??...maybe for the last episode??
But then the last episode should finish with a link to this thread |

continue it till the scammer gives up lol, keep sending him to the bank soon the bank will probley get fed up of him, say you made a mistake on the receipt change some numbers and send him a new one.

Nah!
He's sussed out what's going on now. Convince him that it's a WU mistake as I suggested earlier and keep him hooked!
Getting a photo would be nice but I think even the thickest of internet scammers are aware of the 419eater.com gallery by now. Let's keep this joker hanging on for just a little bit longer...

This is going very well.
But this could back fire.
Those scammers work in groups, once he finds out esato could be crawling with those scammers.
Can't you send some money like 1penny, so that WU can tell the scammer their is money ready (without saying how much), but it needs to be released by you once you get the phones? is that possible at WU?

It gets funny day by day. I support the idea of sending him the penny. Imagine when he goes to the bank and you tell him that the bank robbed him the rest of the money

So the scammer emailed me and asked me if I've gone to Western Union to change the receiver name, address to their "Nigeria Shipping Department Address" 
Therefore, to satisfy his needs for running to the bank and waiting in the line for an hour, I photoshopped another Western Union receipt.
Here's the email I sent to him:
=====================================
Hi,
Here's the new Western Union Receipt, it's corrected to your Nigeria Shipping Department Address.
Please remember to email me the Fedex tracking number when my phones are shipped, thanks!
Thanks!
Regards,
Sum-Ding Wong
=====================================
Let's see what he's gonna say when he come back from the bank empty handed again...
