419 Scam Letters

This is a collection of Letters relating to the ongoing 4-1-9 Scam. You'll probably get them in your email if you don't have proper SPAM or phisher protection. People writing these are really stupid and most reside in Lagos, Nigeria. Never trust anyone from Nigeria when it comes to doing business online.

Love Sandra

I love messing with Nigerian scammers sending them on a wild goose chase. I have yet to get one sucker to take a picture of their self and send it to me. Something tells me that will be very simple. I posted a room available for rent on the internet for $750/month.
Starring:
Me = Justin Credible and Ms. Bea Haven
Nigerian Scammer = “Love Sandra”

A couple of days go by and I forget about our faux transaction and haven’t replied back to her. So Ms. Love Sandra is getting irritated (her reply to me was in all bold print).

Dear Ms. Love Sandra:
I sincerely apologize for the mistake, please get back to me if this does not work. I am a new hire and have never wired money before. My boss was very mad at me for making a mistake and inconveniencing you. I got in big trouble for this. Please, I am very sorry!!
Please get back to me as soon as possible and let me know if everything is okay! Please do not tell my boss and let me know. I will get in more trouble if anything wrong happens again. Go to Moneygram to pick up the money. Reference: 32864852

Hello Bea,
i know its not your fault but all the same, am pleading to you that you can send the right refference number, the same thing happened just as it was in the first time you send the first one, i should have reported all what thats is going on to your boss but since you said i should 'nt let him know, the refference number is invalid, please and please this the last chance my flight manager is giving me, he said that he would have my name canceled if i do nt pay for the ticket bill, and precise thats what have been keeping me staying till date here, i should would have been back to the state since on monday, just as i told your boss in the first time,but since it happened that way i have to patient, but this time i can't wait any more, thats why i pleading to you. right now at the moment to go straight to money gram and resend it with the right refference number so that i can be able to meet up with your boss in the states, i know he would be worried about my not been back yet to the states, please now Ibee.


Warning: The email above sounds like she is very caring and sincere and will avoid getting me in trouble at all cost, but yet…she sends my boss (hey, that’s me!) an email complaining that Ms. Bea Haven (hey that’s me again!) has been giving her the run around.


love sandra love_sandra_05@yahoo.com wrote:

Hi Bea,
how are you doing?,the people at money gram said the reference number is invalid,so please just go through the receipt again and resend the reference number so the funds can be picked up today,thanks,and reply immediately.



Ms. Bea Haven wrote:

How could this be? I made sure I did everything right. Please go back there and make sure the Moneygram agent is not confused. I can assure you that I wired the money to you with the info you gave me. Again the reference # is: 32864852:

Please forgive me,

Hello Haven,
The Money Transfer Control Number must be exactly 10 characters in length. So the agent said that the control number is not complete... please i will like you to look after it now and send the complete number to the agent okay.....because i want he to get the ticket read tomorrow okay so he is waiting for the complete control number.
Looking forward to hear from you now.
Thanks and god bless you.

Geez, what is wrong with me today? Ofcourse, Western Union MTCN needs to be ten characters in length. How could I not know that. Here goes: 3228664851

Hi Bea,
I went to western union.the same thing happened like the first time. I need to speak to your booss. i have wasted a lot of time alredy. I will contact your booss imiditaly.

Ms. Bea Haven wrote:

Oh no, Please don’t! Anything but that!!

I eventually emailed our Nigerian Scammer and told her what a fucking piece of shit he/she is for scamming people of their hard earned money. I told him/her they were going to burn in hell for this and that the next time they do this again, they were going to die in a severe car accident.

Needless to say, I never heard from our beloved “Love Sandra” again.

Comments:
Simply brilliant man. Love what u did with this guy. He deserves it man. Great!
 
Love it! Thanks for the read.
 
Excellent, good to see someone getting back at these scammers. Tried it myself, but without any luck. More people should try this.
 
That's brilliant. You've inspired me to bullshit some of these bastards back.
 
Would've loved to have seen the scammers face when he realised THEY were being shafted and not the other way about. Love it!
 
This is incredibly AWESOME! I work at a bank and have seen this scam and the one involving auto sales numerous times. I have saved some people from loss but a couple fell for it. It is incredible how common this scam is and people still fall for it.

I never thought of fucking with the scammers. That is an incredibly good idea!
 
Did I say incredible too many times in that last comment?

Sorry, lost my thesaurus. :)
 
DAmn funny!
Too bad I didn't read it yesterday before I "simply flaged" one of the N. scamers lurking in MySpace.com

You've opened a whole new door for me to get back at them.
And beleive me I will...
Thanks
 
That was ALMOST a perfect re-scam. You should have replied (as J. Credible) that you found out about Ms. Haven's incompetence and had her killed.

Nonetheless, well crafted.
 
You kick ass.
 
Funny stuff!!
 
YEAHH HAHAHAHAH!! GREA%T STUFF MAN!
xyq
 
LMAO! This reminds me of how I used to enjoy 'toying' with telemarketers when they call me.
 
you rock man ! more people should be doing that
 
Welcome to the world of scam baiters! I've been fencing with these 419 scammers for almost 5 years now. My pastry resistance (my French always sucked) was when, as Rev. U. R. Phulovit of the Universal Church of the Perpetual Horkage, in Liechtenstein, got 419ers to come "meet" me in Amsterdam, Holland. Of course, I wasn't there, and they ran all over the train station and to a nearby hotel, asking "U. R. Phulovit?".

Boy, wuz they mad...or the one that I conned into going to the WU office in Lagos three times with the same bogus transmittal receipt, to the point he was thrown out of the office the third time, and wrote back threatening to cut my and my financial advisor's heads off ;)

You know you've made it as a scam baiter when you get a death threat LOL.

Read several of yours; you're a natural! Give 'em Hell!
 
This is so dang funny! I always thought there had to be a way to get back at these scumbag spammers...and you found it! That's too cool for school! LOL. A great inspiration!
 
That's great. I usually just ignore those things.
 
OH PLEEEASE!! do you REALLY think these are real people just waiting on your reply, its well known most of this is computer generated 'bad english' either to fool the really gullible or just to waste folks (like you i am afraid) time, and please don't think they are in western africa either... more then likely some scumbag here in the US
 
They do wait for my replies and the majority are in Africa. I confirmed this with geolocating IP addresses with GPS coordinates and everything, there is no doubt. They have african accents and everything. They do have connections to people in US, but the scammers themselves are usually in Nigeria or England. And no, they are not computer generated E-mails. They are authentic.
 
Wow.I cant believe that actually happened..I am SO going to try this out!
Brilliant!!
 
If anything.. I am so tempted to try that! I didn't even realise that anyone was out there baiting them, or screwing with their heads!

I would be half tempted to do the ol' ebay thing and pretend not to be able to understand english when they message back.

Great work mate! Keep sticking it to em!!!
