    Dear Sir

    I saw your advert online for mobile phones.

    I would like to buy an unlocked Nokia N96 16GB.

    Seeing as we are both in the UK I would like a price in Sterling.

    Thankyou

    Stephen

    Our 'friend' Raqib is quick to enquiries, not so quick to my reply about his guarantee and my questions about his company location and IP address being in KL.

    Funny that.

    Damn, there was something in my email title that implied I was in Thailand, if I change it now he may notice, but I will anyway.

    No problem with the price, I see you only accept money via Western Union, what is that ? I've never heard of it.

    No need to ship, we can send via normal postage, I'm in no hurry and there is no need to pay that much to send across the UK, I'm in Swansea.

    Cheers

    Stephen

    The general rule is "MAKE THE SCAMMER DO ALL THE WORK!". Just use your common sense! I find another good way to wind a scammer up is to deliberately misinterpret their instructions to you. For instance, a scammer may tell you that in communicating with his "lawyer" you must not reveal what the main deal is about, or even mention the scammer's name. Of course, sometimes it's a good idea to mention everything to the lawyer!
    If they send you documents to fill in and sign, do it wrong. Pretend you didn't understand their instructions and ask them to repeat themselves. Have they sent you a fax or email attachments? Tell them you didn't receive anything, and please would they send it all again.
    I've also found that if things don't seem to be going your way, tell them point blank that the deal is off "unless you agree to XXXX". Be bold and brash and make out the YOU are dictating the terms here. YOU are the one with the cash (they think!) and YOU are the boss. They are your naughty little puppies! Many times the scammers have refused me things - such as providing me with a photograph - and I have told them,"OK, the deal is off, goodbye". It's quite surprising how some of them will buckle and do almost anything you ask if they think you are serious about ending 'the deal'.
    If you have your mark convinced you're on your way to meet with him at the airport, a good idea is to ask him to hold up a sign with your name on it so that you will be "able to recognise" him at the airport. Hopefully before this you will have convinced him your name is something like Dina Mite, Barney Rubble, Eric Shun or something like that!
    If you are about to ask your scammer for something, dangle a carrot before you do. If you want to hit him for a photograph, mention that you'd like to bring him some gifts (laptops and mobiles phones are favourites). Pretend to do him a favour before you ask him for anything. If they think they are going to get extra out of you they tend to buckle easier.
    Another good tactic is to play completely dumb. Let them think you haven't a clue what's going on. Always ask questions every step of the way. This will annoy them.
    If you are as certain as you can be that your scammer has fallen for your bait (and thinks you're flying out to him), get him to book a hotel for you. Pick yourself a nice 4 star hotel that has online facilities to confirm a booking, like the Hilton, Sheraton or Sofitel hotels in Nigeria. Tell your victim that you WILL NOT fly out until he sends you a booking receipt for the hotel (which you can check online for validity). Most of the time your mark will make up a million excuses why he can't do it. Simply tell him the deal is off, and eventually if you're lucky he'll buckle and do as you say.
    In my scams I usually pretend I'm a rich businessman, so that they tend to try to hit me for a lot more cash. If a target really thinks you are arriving in his country with $100,000 in Dollar bills then you can get him to do almost anything for you. If you are only taking a few thousand, then it's usually not worth the scammers time and effort to be at your command.

    oh yeah sorry,

    the shipping will be $10.

    and it will take 1 day or 2.

    the payment is through western union and you can make the payment online at their website with your credit card. www.westernunion.com

    you will be needing our payment details for the transfer.

    kindly get back with your full address and phone number.

    waiting

    Go to your bank and send a money transfer. I am not sure what the fee is, I think it varies from bank to bank.

    Pretty easy to do. So are you actually going to send him some cash?!

    Or you can try:

    Of course I'm not going to send him anything....ffs, what do you think i am?

    I'm going to question why within the UK it has to be Western Union, to make my case I need to know the costs which are available on their page. I will offer him cheques, cash anything....but i ain't dumb enough to give him any!

    Ya bunch a fucking wowsers.

    Ok, couple of questions, just because you're Malaysian doesn't mean you carry a Malaysian IP address with you around the globe! LOL.

    He says his company is a store - I already told him I had a friend who walked down and around the area and didn't see his 'store'.

    I am going to ask to see his company registration certificate, who his insurance company is etc...

    Hi Raqib,

    Yes please do send me a copy of your company registration documents - this would certainly help put my mind at ease.

    Also, you mentioned you have an insurance company, can you tell me who you are insured with so I can contact them to check that I can claim if not satisfied.

    I am still a little confused about your IP address, I understand that you are a Malaysian in the UK, but how do you get a Malaysian IP address in the UK, surely you are using a UK based ISP? It would be terribly expensive to use your Malaysian ISP as you would be effectively be paying for an overseas call everytime you connect to the internet?

    I look forward to receiving your credentials.

    P.S. I have located the Western Union branch you found for me, many thanks. As soon as I receive your credentials and checked with your insurance company I will forward you the money ASAP.

    My latest email

    -----

    I don't see the point to pay Western Union fees when I can transfer the money directly into your bank account here and it will be instant.

    Either that or I can send you a cheque, you don't have to send until it is cleared.

    Any reason why that is not possible, I desperately want this phone and the price is unbeatable in this country....

    Cheers

    Stephen

    Dear Raquib,

    I sent you an email via your contact us form within your website. I am extremely pleased with the professional look and approach of your site and I am very desperate to purchase the following item for my son as soon as possible; it is his birthday on the 29th of February.

    Please send me the payment details and shipping for an Unlocked HTC Shift X9501. For your information I reside in Berk shire, England.


    Kind Regards,

    Geoff Randell
    Shall I complain when he doesn't send it on the 29th
