Jeff,
This is a real stroke of luck as I have recently started work in Nigeria and will be traveling through Lagos on a regular basis. Please let me have the name and address of your in-law and I’ll deliver the item personally. Please ensure they have the money available in US dollars or GBP. My next trip is in one weeks time, arriving in Lagos Monday 10th Oct and I’m at the Tivoli Hotel for 2 nights. I travel back through Lagos one week later again.
Regards

You should really head on over to www.thescambaiter.com to pick up some tips - some of the threads there are the funniest things I've ever read anywhere. (***** enlargement cream made from chili sauce, anyone? )

Ask Jeff does he go by the name of Pinky, or pinkcross, or pinkcross20 or suddenly change sex and become sarah thomas
I have them both on MSN, and I have such a laugh with them, long story but keeping them stringing along is so funny
last count I told them I couldnt be bothered re-posting the 300K worth of cheques they had sent over, and was cashing them in for myself

Thanks
Jeff
And my response..
Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. I received the message from your paypal, many thanks for the payment.
It’s a shame your in-law won’t be at home when I pass through Lagos it would have been so much simpler. Coincidently my in-laws are also traveling on the 4 and 5th October, wouldn’t it be strange if they traveled to the same destination – your in-laws aren’t heading to Clitoris in the Mediterranean are they?, I hear it can be a good crack near there.
I note from your original message you are a US citizen, what part of the ‘good old US of A’ do you hail from? I was wondering if this was the reason for your strange spelling of the word ‘shipment’ I note you spell it with two p’s and was wondering if this was maybe some strange US spelling from the deep south.
I did have an uncle in America but he was unfortunately killed in the terrorist attacks in New York. He was a busker, he used to do a one-man band routine playing hits from the 70’s just outside the south tower. His specialty was Queen songs, but with his bad asthma he struggled doing Bohemian Rhapsody, eventually when his right leg was replaced with a wooden one (tragic accident involving a drunk Elvis impersonator on a golf cart) he had to abandon this classic tune. A witness reported he was half way through ‘Another one bites the dust’ when the tower collapsed and he was never seen again – quite ironic really.
I hope your trip to the general meeting is going well. Your commitment to the W.H.O must be applauded, I really can’t think of many people who would be prepared to commute from Korea to Pattaya, you must find this tiring – how is the fight against drug resistant TB going these days?
You’ll be glad to know I have now parceled the starter motor. I still find it astonishing that someone in Nigeria also has a 1954 Volvo PV444, I hope it’s just what you need.
It’s very unlikely that the starter motor will reach you by the 4th or 5th October. I had hoped to post it tomorrow but I’ve just had a phone call from my surgeon, I’m on a waiting list for a sex change and apparently a matching donor has just been found and I need to go in for some urgent tests. Be assured though, I will post this item as soon as I can.

I actually laughed out loud pretty vigorously at that. Hilarious!

Get the scammers to pay shipping costs of $30k on broken washing machines, fridges, bricks etc
All thier poor hard scammed cash going down the tube (they can't pay with dodgy cheque / card for DHL in Nigeria for obvious reasons...)
And not only that - but get them do stupid things during the transactions...
Class! The thread in question baiting this scammer goes on for over 5,000 posts It's called "Cole v2.0"

Have you heard the audio too? I swear, one of the funniest things I've ever heard is "Butch Driveshaft" yelling down the phone,
"Why the f**k would I send you a washing machine? I sell ANUS LAPTOPS!"
"Why the f**k would I send you a washing machine? I sell ANUS LAPTOPS!"
