| 1222807 | 2011-08-13 04:49:00 | Recently it's just been people from Africa with large bank balances they need to send to me. I wonder what would happen if you appeared to have "bought in" by making an initial and very positive response, got them well hooked, then emailed back using a new Gmail account set up for the purpose 'in order to keep our correspondence confidential' and say 'sorry, I am keen to assist you but my bank wants to charge me a fee I can't afford to set up a confidential account, so please me an advance on my fee of (say) $5000 via Western Union'. It would either get rid of them pronto, or if they buy in themselves, you might get lucky with the odd extra 10 or $15,000 to help you 'put the bank auditor or manager in your pocket'. Especially if you hinted that you have a prior record on overseas money issues. Avarice and stupidity cut both ways. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
