Has anybody ever played around with a Email Scammer...? You know, the random person who wants to pay you millions if you help them with a transaction...

I've been conversing with a Capt. John Moffat, who want to give my 15% of 40 million dollars obtained in Iraq...

Our lastest discussion:
Capt. Moffat wrote:
PAT,

DO ACKNWLEGDE THE RECIPT OF THE DETAILS I SENT YOU.
I WANT YOU TO NOTE THE CHANGE OF EMAIL AS SECURITY ALERT AS
CONFIDENTIALITY OF THIS TRANSACTION IS PARAMOUNT.
DO SEND ME THE INFORMATION’S I REQUESTED SO WE COULD DISCUSS TO ENABLE US
COMMENCE THE TRANSACTION AS WE ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE COMPLETED IT BEFORE NOW.
WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU URGENTLY.

CAPT. MOFFAT JOHN

Captian,

This change of email adderss has me worried...I've read so much lately
about the dangers of internet scams. I pray to lord vedder and his
jesus stone that this is not such a scam. My heart hurts with
excitement and fear.

I've recently lost my job and have no money, therefore the opportunity
such as the one you've presented has raised my hope. By the powers of
greyskull, I pray this is not a scam. Please assure me this in not
the case.

Love,
Pat

    Nice. Check out http://www.419eater.com/
    It is a great site with lots of archived correspondence and a trophy room where people have gotten the crazy nigerian scammers to send them pictures and stuff. Hours of laughs.

    A good buddy of mine was behind one of the very first 419 scambaits, which involved use of a webcam. I wonder if it's on that site? It was hilarious!

    PAT,

    ON RECEIPT OF YOUR LETTER, I AM WELL CONVINCED THAT YOU ARE A RELIABLE AND
    TRUSTWORTHY ASSOCIATE AND I WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS
    GENUINE AND WILL BE LEGITIMATELY DONE SO THAT EVERYBODY WILL BE GRATIS NOW
    AND IN FUTURE.
    I HAD TO PUT DOWN SECURITY MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT OUR TRANSACTION IS SAFE.
    EVERYWHERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS UNDER A CLOSE SCRUTINY DUE TO TERRORIST
    ATTACK.
    HOWEVER, ON DUE APPLICATION FOR THE FUNDS RELEASE, ON GETTING THE
    INFORMATION THAT THE FUND HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR TRANSFER BUT I WAS LATER
    TOLD THAT THE FUND CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED THROUGH BANK TO BANK TRANSFER DUE
    TO INTERNATIONAL MONEY MOVEMENT LAWS DUE TO REPEATED TERRORIST ATTACK ON
    NATIONS AND THE UNREST IN THE MIDDLE EAST EITHER IT IS BETTER CONCLUDING A
    DIPLOMATIC MEANS OF LIFTING CONSIGNMENT FUND WITHOUT ANY GOVERNMENT
    INTERCEPTION OF THE FUND UPON ARRIVAL OF ITS DESTINATION.

    BEFORE THE DIPLOMATIC COURIER ACCEPTED AND EMPOWERED TO TRANSFER THE
    CONSIGNMENT TO UNITED STATES , ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS WILL BE PROCURED AND
    SUBMITTED.
    THE DIPLOMATIC COURIER ACCEPTED TO DELIVER THE CONSIGNMENT/FUND TO YOU IN
    UNITED STATES .THE CONSIGNMENT WILL NOT BE INSPECTED OR INTERCEPTED BECAUSE
    OF THE DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. SEND ME YOUR PRIVATE PHONE , FAX AND CONTACT
    ADDRESS FOR NOTIFICATION UPON ARRIVAL OF THE DIPLOMAT AND SO WE COULD
    DISCUSS SOME IMPORTANT ISSUES, AFTER WHICH I WILL SEND YOU VITAL DOCUMENTS
    TO THIS EFFECT. NOTE THAT I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE CALLS, SINCE WE ARE
    STILL IN THE STATE OF UNREST IN IRAQ, BUT WILL BE ABLE TO CALL YOU FROM A
    SECURED LINE.I MUST TELL YOU TO BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON’T DISCUSS THIS
    TRANSACTION WITH ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE WORKING AS AN AGENT.
    WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

    THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU

    Oh, praise be lord, McCready...!!! I knew you were true and that you would not take advantage of a poor soul such as myself...However, I have to admit, I am still weary and fearful...Captian, do you have a picture you could send me, just show me you are real...? In the picture could you hold a sign to say : I love Pearl Jam.. This would put my heart at ease....I would know you are true, good, and honest...

    Please be safe, Captian Moffat, I know these times are tumultuous, please stay alive. I too fear the terrorists and a fearful they hate me because my way of life. I have to ask, how do you feel about the US President George Bush...?

    Well, I'm off to pick beets...they are my favorite food. I await you're response with baited breathe. If I could create a wishlist I would wish for peace and goodwill toward men...please do not yield and keep on rockin in a free world

    love, your friend,
    Pat
