Con-Artist at work!

Majorgeeks:

So here is the story, how many of you have seen the laptop con that the guy had? It was posted on Slashdot.org once and basically long story short guy tried to con another guy on e-mail and the US guy realized it, and ended up screwing the other guy. Well, I have a similiar situation and I want to get some feedback form everyone on the board.

Here is the story:

I have a house in Colorado. I am renting on of the rooms out. So I have an ad placed on roommates.com and some other services. Every once in a while I will send out some e-mail's offering the place to peopel that meet my matches. So I did this last week, and I got a responce from a girl. She offered her IM address so I started talking to her. She tell me that she is very excited about the room, and excited to meet me, etc, etc. She is an international model from Scotland and she is in Nigeria visiting her sick mom who was in a car accident. So everything checks on talking to her, she seems cool so I go back and look at her profile randomlly and she is looking for a place in OR. I got scared, and e-mailed her... Hey, you do know my place is in Colorado right? She responded with Yes, thats cool I am excited to move there, etc, etc.

So a few days go by and she IM's me again and tell me that she is going to send a check for the Security deposit and the first months rent. She warns me though that its going to be weird cause another guy owes her money so she is going to have him send the money order to me, and she wants me to Western Union the money back to her... Everything clicks in my head. I realize I am getting conned. So I start asking some detailed questions. Do you have a picture of you modeling? What did you model in, etc, etc. (You can see the chat log I will post it.)

So I asked if she has a phone number that I can call. I have free international calling since I work as an engineer in a support center.

I call this guy.. excuse me... I mean girl. I call and I get a guy, he says Laura is not there and to call back in 5 minutes. So I do and this girl answers that can speak very, very broken English. She says that she is excited to come, and asks if I will talk to her friend. The guy gets back on the phone who has better english and who tells me he is her travelling agent. We keep talking over the next couple days and he says that he needs the money back to buy the ticket to the US for her, and she wants to buy some african antiques to decorat her room with.

So there is where we are now, he has told me today that the package is on the way via HCL and its a check (money order) for $3750. Should I call the police who I doubt would care. SHould I e-mail the FBI, or just tell her to leave me alone? My thought was to screw this guy out of money some how, not to me, but just so that he loses it like the laptop guy.

So, anyway. The laptop thing turned out to be really funny, and it was great that the con artist got conned. So I am looking for some help for what to do, what to say, etc, etc. To this guy. Anyone have any good ideas?

To cut a long story short, try not to match a likkle knowledge against true cunning

titanic meets Iceburg

Sunk!

 

(shrug) If you find it entertaining, have fun with it, but at some point they'll likely just give up & disappear.

 

Play if you want, but…..my girlfriend who works at a check cashing place here in California. She has told me of people coming in at work to purchase money orders of $2000 - $6000. Because people try to launder money, any amount over $1500 has to have their social security number, driver’s license number, home address, and a phone number, they can be reached at….

 

Throw away the money order and mail him Monopoly money

 

My niece had the same set up pulled on her only it was about a car she had for sale.
Turned out the check was bad. Then the guy tried to sue her for stealing his money.
She had saved all the emails to show the cops is what saved her butt.
Take the check to them and have them do their thing. Also, if it was sent through the post office you can get her/him for mail fraud.
DON'T CASH IT !!

 

Fraud & mail fraud don't do anything internationally. Most of this crap (including this one) start overseas, where they're safe from that.

 

Heres an update:

hello Nick,
how are you doing hope you are kool here is my pic for you if u get the pic try to get back to me asap.hope to meet you soon hope u will come and pick me up at airport okay .

Best Regard

Cruel....very very cruel, but fair

 

Doesn't even look like the same chick to me.

Please god, let the nigerian, non-english speaking, international model, who wants to send me $5K and rip me off--- be legit!

 

Native Nigerians have a lot more suntan than that. Don't let your hormones make you stupid.

 

i am just wondering does anyone have some good photo software to zoom in on the computer screen behind her in the number 2 pic to see what it says?

 

I'd rather have Pic 1 blown up, but once you did, I doubt you could post it here

 

Tell her you're some sort of police official and that this whole thing was a some sort of Sting Operation to get her. Leave that your last message to her over the phone or on the internet, then cut all comunication with her for a day. Contact her after a day has passed and if she doesn't accept your calls or emails then she's a con-artist for sure.

Usually criminals/con-artists, whatever, will stop what they're doing once they know or think the police are on to them.

Try it.

 

HAHA, more here is the call-out.

I will the package is here, I just wasn't 'here' to get it.

 

Me excited to know outcome. You might be talking to the FBI.

Its got nothing to do with nationalty,in the uk we get this crap all the time,a popular one is "im an african king who has been dethroned my money is locked up in a bank all you have to do is help me with the release fee to let the security comp pay for exchange costs and i will split the money 50/50,its got nothing to do with peoples brain,it provokes their greed,there have been many TV programs in the uk that take the piss out of these con people then have them arrested,its so funny to watch,in a way the people that fall for this deserve it because they are tryin to make a free buck but on the other hand any free buck that comes along we take,so everyone is guilty in a small way but these guys just ruin peoples lives and theres no justification for that.

Check out www.scamorama.com for lots of attempted scams. Scroll down the page for the one's in red. They are where the one to be scammed actually got money from the would be scammers. Hours of hilarious reading. Bazza

 

wow that took awhile to read, my advice is jst not to get into it to deep, im not sure what the laws are in this area, but dont screw urself. I would also try to say that ur a cop or what ever, to see if she breaks contact with u. The unanswered questians definiately are suspicious...

I had a go around with one of these guys. I'll see if I can find my dialogue with him. It was quite fun.

 

Here's the whole order of emails I had with this guy. It's long, but it's fun. My comments are in blue, my responses to him are in red, his letters to me are in black.


Dear Mr Clayton ,

I am Barrister John Agagu, a solicitor at law. I am the
Personal Attorney to Mr Jonathan Clayton , a National of
your Country, who has lived in Nigeria for the past
fifty years, and whom herein-after shall be referred
to as my client.In April 1999, my client, was involved
in a fatal car accident . All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives, my client was one of
them.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating most
especially,the money left behind by my client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Union Bank of Nigeria plc
where the deceased had an account
valued at about 30 million dollars has issued me a
notice to provide the Next of kin, or have the account
confiscated.

I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin
of the deceased since you have the same last name so
that the proceeds of this account valued at 30 million
dollars can be paid to you, as my clients Next of Kin,
and then we can share the amount on a mutual agreed
percentage.All legal documents to back up your claim
as the deceased Next of Kin, will be provided. All I
require is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this deal through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me, to
enable us discuss further about this transaction.

Warmest Regards,

Barrister John Agagu .
please reply to my alternate email

Dear Mr. Barrister John Agagu,

I am so glad that you contacted me. I have been very worried about my Uncle Jonathan for some time. (We call him Joe Nathan, the same name as the pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, isn't that funny!) I thought this was funny, if I do say so myself! We last heard that he had moved, but we didn't know where, and now, of course, it all makes sense. I've included a short part of his family history, to verify that I am indeed his blood nephew.

So, what is it we need to do? I am so very glad that you want to help us. We have been in terrible financial straits for over a year, (ever since my sister Deardra had her hemorroid surgery) Good one, eh? so we are so grateful for any help you can give us. Just tell us what we need to do.

With Warmest Wishes,

Eric Clayton

Dear Mr Eric Clayton,

Thanks for your mail/ responds dated Monday May 24th 2004 and i must say i quite appreciate your concern in making this life time oppurtunity a reality.it is obvious that every person in the world will be skeptical with this letter of mine based on its nature but thank God you could give it a second thought despite its august nature.Please note that this is not a child's play, joke or scam of any kind, it is a transaction that has come to change our lifes and also one that needs absolute carefulness. With this in mind, It all appears to me that you don't understand the content of my letter and what is expected of you and i to do in other to get $30 million to your account and investing in a profitable and viable business venture in your country and under your professional guideline.

The late Mr.Jonathan Clayton is not in any way related to you because he died without a family and relatives known to the bank. I am his personal lawyer while he was alive in nigeria and his financial adviser as well.
Since Mr Jonathan Clayton death, the bank,Union Bank Of Nigeria Plc has made several efforts in locating any of his next of kin to claim the money but to no avail.I saw this could be a great opportunity for us to enrich ourselves, I have decided to contact you since you have the same surname with the late Mr Jonathan Clayton who was a citizen of your country. For the fact that you two have the same surname, this will be easy for us to retrieve the money and transfer into your account. I want you act as Mr Jonathan Clayton next of kin.
The bank, Union Bank Of Nigeria Plc and the Board of Directors Gave me the power of Mandamus to produce my clients next of kin legally & to come for the claim of the money or if none,the funds will be declare unclaimed and forwarded to the purse of the federal government of Nigeria for the use of african Countries at war. it will be unwise of my person since i know that no body will arose to claim the money since Mr Jonathan Clayton has no existing family known to the bank. Now this is what you and i will do. I want you furnish me with your full contact address, nature of job, date of birth, social security no.(if any)also with private telephone/fax number as i shall write an official letter from my chamber to the bank legal unit claiming by right that you are the next of kin to the deceased who was my client. Note that there are no risk involved and you are not going to appear here in the bank for no reason because i shall stand as your family lawyer until the funds
are transferred into your account and then i will comeover for disbursement and we shall go into business relationship (partnership). Do not entertain
any fear as all modalities have been perfected here from my end. All i need from you is your undivided effort and Trust. I hope you reason with me and lets not lose this life time opportunity. Call me immediately you receive this mail, as it is important we have oral discussion to this regards and also disclose personal identities. My telephone number is: +234-8055147234 I anxiously wait to hear from you urgently as i was given a limited time by the bank and i wouldn't want us to delay. Thanks in anticipation and looking forward for
your call and reply.

Regards
Barrister John Agagu



Okay, I wasn't aware this was someone different. Okay, so what you want me to do is to ACT as the next of kin? If this money isn't mine, I don't know if it's right to act like I'm someone I'm not. What if I get in trouble? Is this legal? It just doesn't sound right to me. Let me know what you think.

With much respect,

Eric Clayton





My Friend Eric,



I surely understand your fears and worries, but as i have told you in my first and second mails that,i am a Lawyer of repute here in my country and moreover, the bank has given me the power to scout for the relatives of My late friend after a long battle with them since 1999.Although they pleaded with me then that the money was been used to finance a long term project which generated a lot of profit for them.All that i am interested in is my friends initial deposit of $30million the bank can go away with the interest for all i care.



Eric, remember you don,t have to come down here, all you have to do is to send in your particulars so that i can submit them to the bank for approval then just leave the rest to me.



My only fear is that i don't really know you and if eventually the money hits your account how are my sure that i will be given my due share, how are my sure that you will not dissapear into thin air.

So my friend just digest the mail i sent to you and send in the necessary information fast.



Waiting to hear from you.



Barrister John Agagu



DearBarrister John Agagu,

Thank you for your quick response. I think I understand more now. I also want you to know that you can trust me. I would like to prove this trust to you in whatever way I can. If I can have your address and phone number, I will send you a card or note with some specifics on it so that you will know more about me.

What I would like is for you to do the same for me. Would you be able to send me something that will let me know more about you?

Waiting to hear from you,

Eric Clayton



Dear Mr Eric,

I am Very sorry for the delay in responding to your mail it was due to the fact that that i had to attend to some other crucial matter outside the state as it concerns the interest of my Chambers.I want you furnish me with your full contact address, nature of job, date of birth, social security no.(if any)also with private telephone/fax number as i shall write an official letter from my chamber to the bank legal unit claiming by right that you are the next of kin to the deceased who was my client.I will also send you a pic of myself and the late Jonathan Clayton as soon as possible so that you will know that i am really serious.

Please Eric do give me a call so that we can discuss this whole thing in person as time is not on our side.

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

John Agagu(ESQ)

Dear Eric Clayton,

This is my personal and my late clients and his familys picture,i just want you to know who you are dealing with i will also like the same from you.



thanks

Barr John Agagu(esq). Now he's an esquire!




[font=&quot]Dearest John, [/font]

[font=&quot]Wow, what a set of threads you have on there in that picture! You must be a Prince! I am also a sort of Prince, in the order of the Scottish Rite, but I sure don't have the duds that you have! How can I get a set of those? Would you be able to mail me some clothes like that? I will be glad to send you some money for clothes like that, especially when I get that 30 million! [/font]

[font=&quot]Here's a pictue of me, although it was taken quite sometime ago, I'm not that young anymore! LOL! [/font]

[font=&quot]Eric M. Clayton[/font]
​

[font=&quot]1979[/font]
​

[font=&quot]This came from the webpage of the Scottish Rite Society in [/font][font=&quot]Portsmouth[/font][font=&quot]. You can visit that website here if you wish. [/font]

[font=&quot]http://www.portsmouthaasr.com/[/font]

[font=&quot]I have an idea. Since you were the one to approach me, it is up to you to prove to me that you are trustworthy. What I came up with was this: You send me your address, and I will mail you a gift. When you receive the gift, I would like you to take a picture of yourself holding up the gift that I send. Then I will know that you are being an honest person. Without trust, we can't have a very good relationship! [/font]


[font=&quot]When you have done all this, I will then send you the information you require. Then we can get to that little matter of the 30 million dollars![/font]



[font=&quot]I am waiting very anxiously for your address on this, so we can move forward. [/font]

[font=&quot]With much hope for the future,[/font]



[font=&quot]Eric Clayton[/font]





Dear Eric,

Actually i am a royal chief in my village here in Nigeria but i don't really like to disclose that fact to people that don't know me because they attach so much importance to matters of such and also attaching you with so much affluence.

My Friend is that really you, you look quite advanced in age,which makes it really ideal for a transaction of such magnitude,but the problem is that you are driving this thing quite too far and wasting a lot of time i have given you my number so that you can call, why not give it a trial.

Look if you are not interested then just signify me,atleast i have not demanded anything from you apart from your information that will be submited to the bank board of directors for approval so i don't know why you are still doubting my credibility.

Look, i am a well respected man in my community as well as my profession and you are telling me all sorts of trash because i contacted you,well you can forget about the whole thing i know that i will surely get someone else that will be of help and eventually make him a wealthy man and i can see you don't want to be wealthy.

Eric,I really don't want us going too far on this just please submit your credentials to me so that i can submit them to the bank for final approval.

I will be waiting for you reply.

Chief,Barrister John Agagu(SAN)

Chief Counsel Elite Chambers

[font=&quot]Dear John,[/font]

[font=&quot]Whoa, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you! I'm am very interested in the 30 million dollars, so please forgive me. I simply want to make sure that this is all legitimate, you know, because I've never heard of such a thing, and it's really hard to believe. I mean, I get spam emails all day long that promise me all sorts of crazy things, and I never know what to believe anymore. [/font]

[font=&quot]Imagine if you had gotten such a letter from me, and suddenly a total stranger was asking for personal information such as Social Security number, address, etc. There's no way you would give that out to just anybody, and though you say I can trust you, you have to understand my position on the matter. I didn't mean to offend you, I just thought that I could send you something, and then that would prove a little more that you are trustworthy. I mean, you want me to give you my address, why not give me your address, isn't that fair?[/font]

[font=&quot]Anyway, I hope we can put this whole thing behind us, and start fresh. [/font]

[font=&quot]Okay, here's the deal. I would call you, but I'm a salesman for Viagra, Ltd, and am constantly on the road. You'd think I'd be retired, but actually this is a new medicine that Viagra offers for old people, so I'm the perfect candidate to sell the stuff. I have a cell phone, but my company won't let me use it except to do business calls for the company. Right now, I'm in [/font][font=&quot]Carson City[/font][font=&quot], [/font][font=&quot]Nevada[/font][font=&quot], at the Department of Human Resources, trying to sell them on the idea of Viagra for Senior Citizens, (you can check out the website here) so I won't be able to call you until at least tomorrow. I will try to call when I get home. [/font]

[font=&quot]I wanted to enclose another picture of me and my late wife Agnes. This was taken at our 55th wedding anniversary. She died 6 months later. I miss her alot, and sometimes I feel bad that I'm out on the road selling Viagra, instead of being at home and paying my respects to her. She was a wonderful woman, and a delight to be around. Everyone loved her, (except the neighbors, but they don't like anybody) and I miss her alot. Sometimes I think I hear her voice, and I turn around, but she's not there, it was just another episode of the Simpsons on TV! (Her voice sounded like Lisa on the Simpsons....it was her one glaring flaw) [/font]

[font=&quot]Anyway, I'm really sorry to ramble on about this. At my age, I don't have alot of people to talk to, plus I'm always out traveling, so I guess I just unloaded a whole crock of horse manure all over you. I'm really sorry about that. Forgiveness please. Really, I was proud of myself over these last two paragraphs! [/font]

[font=&quot]Anyway, here's the picture.[/font]

I'm sure these pictures won't show up, but if they do, notice John Travolta in the background!

[font=&quot]Have a really good day, and I hope to hear from you soon,[/font]



[font=&quot]With much Condolances,[/font]

[font=&quot]Eric Clayton[/font]



Dear Mr Eric,

I received your very touching mail and please do accept my sincere sympathy,i sure know how you are feeling right now most especially at your age when you need someone to always talk to, but please i want you to be strong and upright because one day we all will surely die(According to Shakespear "death is imminent it will come when it will come")so please take heart. Wow, this guy is a deep thinker!


Dear Eric, i know your fears and worries about this whole thing but i must let you know that i am also a man who wants to make a whole lot of money and i am giving you the opportunity of a life time.Moreover you know the reason why i demanded for your particulars is that the bank will definately require you to produce them because they also will want to know who they are dealing with, A BANK WILL NOT JUST SEND MONEY INTO ANY BODIES ACCOUNT WITHOUT COLLECTING HIS INFORMATION(S) so i beseigh you not to be afraid and send them so that the whole process will start from the bank after i must have submited it.



Moreover, Eric, it is i that needs to be worried since it is your account that the money will go to, how are my sure that i will get my fair share of the money if it hits your account,but right now i am trusting you since we have come this far knowing ourselfs through this transaction, we talk to each other now like true friends and i will like this to really continue and both of us will definately enjoy each other.



Eric about the product that you market, i know about it although through adverts and magazines but i have not used it Sure sure, whatever you say! as i am still an active young man (Giggles) Giggles? and i must commend your bravery for not staying at home Yes, I'm so very brave! http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif and thinking of your late wife, you have to make a living for yourself and maybe the kids (how many) and i am so sure that she will be so so proud of you believe me.



I don't really know how to address you any longer whether to use sir,daddy or pa since you are older than i am, Wow, I appreciate this guy's sensitivity and respect! but i must reiterate you once more of the importance of your particulars before anything can be done,please let us have faith in one another as we are close enough to work as a team.



Once again please accept my sincere Sympathy.



Warmest Regards

barrister John Agagu.



NB:My Phone number is always open, feel free to call me.



After this I quit talking with the guy, cuz I had better things to do. If the pictures don't show up in this post, I'll post them later.

 

Here's the first picture he sent me

 

Here's the pictue I sent back to him, again found on the internet on that site. If he had taken the time to look at the webpage, he'd see that this guy does not go by the name ERic Clayton.

 

Here's the supposed Jonathon Clayton with his supposed dead family.

 

And lastly, here I am at my "50th wedding aniversay"....Notice John Travolta in the background, and of course the horrible cut and past job, same picture, same hat, etc. This guy was an idiot to think I was legit.
Man, this was tons of fun.

 

HAHAHA thats great !

 

This whole thread has been great.

As of today, I've gotten a cable modem and surfing at warp speed. It sure makes reading through all the posts alot easier.

$500 towards the room rent and send $2,000 to the
agent PATRICK WILLIAMS and $2,000 for my shopping and
antiques OLU JAMES. western union will take some
charges $150 each.

I am planning to fly Wednesday flight. Please keep me
updated as soon as you get the funds . The rest of the
funds will be use for other expenses when i get home.

I will update you with my flight details for you to
pick me up at the
Airport.

Did you ever actually recieve the money order?

 

Its supposed to be here today, when I get it I will scan a copy and post it.
