My usual response,
Hi Adams,
my surname is Nin and my name is Lao Pei but you can
call me Lao Pei.

I'm a Chinese residing in Asia. As you know, being a
Chinese Taoist, we have strange believes which might
seems absurd to others. The reason I'm telling you
this is because I want to help you but I need some
proof of your present predicament. I may even have to
seek advice from my master Ah Kong.

Forgive me for being skeptical to this mail. Will this
be illegal because I don't want to be involved in
illegal matters. The money seems very attractive. Let
me know how we can work this out but I still need
proof of your existence.
Please reply if you think we can work together.

Regards
Lao Pei

My reply
Pardon me if I sound rude. You expect me to give you
my particulars when I have not seen anything from your
side. I need to see at least a photo id of yourself
first before I commit further. Hope you understand.

Now he wants to invest in Asia

My reply
Again, pardon me for being skeptical. The passport
could belong to anyone.

Anyway, I need to seek my Taoist master's permission
to proceed further. We Taoist followers will need to
heed his advice.

I belong to the Kum L** C**** clan here is Asia and my
master is very proud of the clan. However, I think he
is one that could be easily pleased. If you can
provide a photo holding a placard with the words "I
like Kum L** C****", I'm sure my master will be
pleased.

By doing this, you are accomplishing 2 things at
once. Proving that the person in the photo is you and
pleasing my master which will get things done easier.

If you accept this, then we have a high chance of
working together. If you think you can't trust me,
then you can pull this thing off (though I like to
work with you).

Here's his passport which I know is fake.

^_^ Was actually hoping he would really take a photo of himself holding that sign... LOL.

Btw, how do you know the passport is fake?

I haven't seen a nigerian passport before. Is that for real.

The first word you would associate with Nigerian is scam.
Therefore, the passport is fake.

Anyway, the words "Federal Republic of Nigeria" look way too clear for a scanned in image. Especially considering that that area should be "sunk-in" (you know the area in between the two pages where the thing is bound? gah.. my vocab sucks i guess). So the text should also be "sinking in" instead of being flat.

Yeah you're right. I just scanned my passport. The nigerian passport looked really good for a scanned one.


By the way, has he replied yet.

:g:

Hahah. Scammers. I've had a couple of e-mails before but i just ignored them. Wouldn't you think they'd be smarter than to send e-mails.If it was such a big thing like being the Heir or something, they would send a messenger or something instead of a really really fake e-mail.hahah.

LOL... Magicdow YOU ARE TOO FREE!!!! :lol: Yes, everything is obviously a scam job. Ming's got good foresight, kudos!

Ning ^_^

the passport look so FAKE -_-

my little boy can make a even more convincing one :lol: :lol:

His reply

Dear Lao,

I no that you are not interested again, have to look for benefactor serious person. To my understanding you are not a serious person, okay
I have to move forward.

Regards

Barrister Rotimi

My reply

Mr. Rotimi,
how would you know I'm not interested. I feel that you belittle my beliefs. You sent me the email and you expect someone to trust you completely?

I'm interested in working with you but that are some criteria that has to be met by my master.

Just because you can't produce the photo for clarification, you say that I'm not interested? You can call me at 65-62353535 if you want to clear things up. Other than that, I'm not going to waste my IDD calls to you when I don't even know if its the real you.

So now, its either you call and we'll talk or send me the photo I requested or we can call this thing off.

Nin Lao Pei

I gave him the pizza hut number.

:D He's trying to escape or something... Hope he calls! :g:

HAHA pizza number? how if he really call that number. anyway u dont need to reply all this scamming thing. it is a waste of time. :angry:

It's really amusing.
