Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Do you want to mess with a scam artist?

This kind of thing pisses me off, I got this email yesterday from this scam artist and here's his letter and email address if anyone wants to email him. Personally i'm going to email him and try to scare him or something. Any ideas?


ATTN: HONOURABLE CONTRACTOR
RE: LONG OVER DUE CONTRACT PAYMENT TRANSFER ADVISE IN YOUR FAVOUR:
Dear Sir /Madam.

I am a director with the Federal Ministry of Finance and was instructed by the Hon Minister of Finance to find out before the end of this month, WHY your contract/ claim of your part payment of $15.5 Million fund have not been credited to your account.

However their is two gentlemen who came from your country to claim this fund on your behalf and the reason giving to us is that you are the one who send them that you are terminal sick and they provide account of Union Bank of Swizterland for the payment to be made. Kindly reconfirm your banking particulars to us and to know if you are the one that send them, your telephone and fax numbers and your full name for us to check with the one in our file.

Yours faithfully,
MR TONNY UCHE.

oh boy oh boy! i hope i can get that $15 million before they figure out they sent this to the wrong email address

It's one of those 419 scammers and yes I screw with them. The last guy I strung along for a month.

ive been getting phone calls now i actually spoke to the guy for about two seconds and then just hung up. my friend was like "dude, you should have kept him on the phone! he's probably paying $10 a minute!" i thought, ok, next time. he's called twice since but they have been eeeearly in the morning while i was asleep. next time he calls, im going to answer and talk to him in my broken Armenian voice we'll be a couple of idiots trying to understand each other on two different sides of the world!

and i did NOT give this clown my #. i get these emails ten times a day. he must have pulled it from my ad in the local paper. i guess now theyre just cold-calling
