Mac's Bait Store | Worms Maggots Leeches 419 Scammers |
This was a small part of a larger scambait (I have a check for you…). This was mildly funny because all I was doing was asking stupid questions, giving false info, and being difficult in every way and this moron starting imposing deadlines on me. So what I did is after each deadline, I asked how to send the money or how much to send, etc., and it started all over again and then eventually a new deadline would come out…The other funny thing about this was that he started emailing me as Hassan Bello, but that changed to Edward Okafor and back again. I know this is common with scammers where they forget their name but this butt-munch kept switching back and forth and when he did, the writing styles changed (Edward always wrote in caps). I truly think that two different scammers were using this same email account. Nice… My emails are in blue, his/hers are in black, my comments in red. Happy reading! |

Besides trying to figure out what the hell a Erous is, I am still trying to come up with that much money. If you would only be patient and take a chill pill we could get this done. I will get back to you as soon as I feel like it.
Thomas |
THAT MEANS YOU DONT WANT TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS, WE HAVE NO CHOICE THAN TO CANCEL YOUR PAYMENT AFTER THREE DAYS STARTING FROM MONDAY NEXT WEEK. |
That’s a lot of money to come up with on that short of notice. Ah well, seeing that you’ve been extremely lenient with your deadlines in the past, I am not worried. I will complete this transfer as soon as I am capable to do so. I spoke with a nice, pleasant negro fellow who lives in a box in an alley by the Laundromat, and he told me that I could earn lots of bread selling Ice, Crack, and Meth. I am assuming he is a cereal salesman and that it’s similar to Snap, Crackle, and Pop, so I am looking into this new sales opportunity. I will let you know when I have made some progress.

(Two days past the deadline)
Where do I send the money again? I had the money yesterday, but unfortunately I ran into a problem with the box-dwelling negro fellow I told you about. I made a little money selling that new cereal - Ice, Crack, and Meth (which surprises me concerning the packaging of it…). I showed my box-dwelling buddy how much money I made and he snatched my money and ran down the street. I thought he would be right back, but he never came back. Maybe he ran off to invest my money in a Mutual Fund. Anyways, I only have $450.00 left so I send that over to you until I get the rest. I still haven’t figured out what a Erous is. Thomas |

OK, I will send that as soon as I can.
Thomas |
DATE APPROVED ON YOUR BEHALF IS 15TH OF THIS MONTH, AND REMEBER THAT YOUR DUTY STAMP FEE IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING YOUR FUND. |
So you’ve told me about 4 times already. Yes, I am aware of your arbitrary and unenforced deadlines. There is no need to constantly remind of this, I am not dense or a total idiot – just a bit trusting. So please stop and I will get the money to you very soon. Thank you very much.
Thomas |
YOU ARE WELCOM SIR.
REGARDS MR.EDWARD OKAFOR. |
(The 15th passes…This has already been going on for almost two months.)
What are the next steps to releasing this money to me? I really need it! I am glad that the lawyer told me that I could pay all of the fees after I collected the money – that makes a lot more sense anyways. When the lawyer told me that, I went out to celebrate and blew every cent I had on wine, women, and song. Well, it was more like cheap whiskey, cheap hookers, and a lot of screaming, but you know what I mean. So when will the transfer take place? I need the money fast because now I seem to have developed a nasty rash and it really itches. Thomas |

Let me have the phone number and email address of the Executive Director of the Bank. I am going to at least need until next week to come up with the money – there is no way I can get it today.
Thomas |

Thank you very much – I will definitely have the money by that time. I am about 80% sure that there will be no problems and no more delays. Well about 40%, but that’s still better than nothing. I will talk to you then.
Thomas |
(Wednesday comes and goes...This was sent on the Friday after the fourth deadline!)
How much money do I have to send again? Thomas |

Ok, I will send it tomorrow; I’m kind of busy today so I won’t have time to get to a Western Union office. Is that ok?
Thomas |
BETTER FOR YOU. |
What the heck does that mean? Better for me what? I tried to get to the Western Union office today, but I spent all day today trying to figure out what “BETTER FOR YOU” meant in your last email. I tried looking it up on the internet to see if it was some slang term, I rearranged the letters to see if it was a secret message in code. The only thing I came up with was “BETTY FUR OROE” – is that some kind of reference to her muff? So you like em hairy, do ya? Me too, the hairier, the better. I like em a little stinky too. Anywho, it looks like it be next week or the week after when I will be able to get that money to you. How much was it again? I hope this is not a problem.

This scambait started in late January/early February and this last email was sent on April 7th. Not too bad considering I broke at least four of his deadlines…I am still curious as to the two different scammers who were using the same account. |
