Finally got one of these scamming retards to reply. Been trying to flip the script on them and provoke them into giving me something about themselves to use. They ain't giving me much yet. But from some unmasked characters in an obviously hastily sent reply (hopefully it means they're getting mad), I think they might be located somewhere in North Korea or China.

Here's my latest response. It's a doozy.

Oh. You're one of those fucking Korean zipperhead chinks, huh? It's been a while since I've had any slant pussy. When I'm done cutting your head off, I'm gonna punch your slit-eyed slut of a wife in the face to swell those narrow little fucking peepers completely shut before I stuff my giant white American cock up her shit hole while holding a shotgun to the back of her head.
 
Gimme an address or a telephone number, you scared little faggοt.

This latest gem is an angry FBI agent who confiscated a "money laundering shipment" but is e-mailing me from Indonesia,threatening legal action if I don't reply within 72 hours. And Nigeria is at the bottom of this.

That... is an interestingly intricate email. Dude even provides a phone number and doesn't seem to mind running this scam face to face.

Next time you get one like this, don't post it, PM me.

[The Dreaming Dragon]

A little googling did provide supportive facts to cooborate his ID...LinkedIn does have an Anthony Fage in Canada,the area code is in Ontario,and the airport lost and found is that number...

But the e-mail address I get these from is a strange and unusual one,so its still a scam. I doubt if anyone else here will bother screwing with him,so if you feel like doing so,have fun !

[The Dreaming Dragon]

The FBI again. By way of India? The e-mail's origin is from FBItest@afpro.org,and that website is a charity devoted to getting clean water and food to India's needy http://www.afpro.org ,but I suppose some of their coworkers have a bit too much free time to sit around trying to scam folk out of money. Oh well. Enjoy this latest exhibit!

Today's entry is a bit more imaginative when it comes to getting one to respond: if the FBI doesn't hear from you,they'll accuse you of Money Laundering drug money!

Attention Fund Beneficiary
 
 
 
 
 


This is to officially inform you that the Central Bank of Nigeria has wired the sum of Ten Million, Five hundred thousand U.S Dollars into the United States of America in your name as the beneficiary.
 
 
 
 
 
The said funds is still under intense investigation from this office regarding its source.
 
 
 


The Central Bank of Nigeria knowing fully well that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment directly into your account, used what we know as a secret diplomatic transit payment (S.T.D.P) to pay this fund through wire transfer.
 
 
 


However, Secret diplomatic transfer payments are normally funds related to drug/terrorist and money laundering system of payment.
 
 
 


The Question now is? why must your payment be made in such secret transfer? If your transaction is legitimate and not related to drug/terrorism, why can't  the Central Bank of Nigeria effect direct transfer into your account than secret diplomatic payment transfer?
 
 
 


Due to the increased difficulties and thorough security by the American authorities when funds come in through such payment process from Europe, Africa and Middle East and based on the records we have had in the past, such method of payment has always been identified as drug/ terrorist/money laundering funds.
 
 
 


However, in line with the United States policy on funds transfer, as soon as these funds are transferred into the United States, it is our compulsory obligations to establish the credentials and official recognition of this funds before final crediting into your account.
 
 
 


For this reason therefore, You are advised to contact the United States Funds monitoring unit, a sub-division of the US Treasury department for the certificate of funds legality and FBI Fund Identification Record Certificate.
 
 
 


These documents or certificates empowers the transfer and also licenses that funds originating from Europe, Africa and Middle East are free from terrorist/drug and money laundering.
 
 
 


Failure to provide these documents within the next 48hrs will warrant us to confiscate these funds and further charge you for money laundering offenses.
 
 
 


We will allow the funds to be released into your account as soon as you make provision for the essential documents.
 
 
 
Your urgent attention in this regards is highly needed
 
 
 


 
 
Yours faithfully,
 
James B. Comey
 
Director, FBI.

Thank you
Delta Air Lines.
------------------------------

And then attached to the email is apparently some kind of TXT file, which I didn't download. A legit airline ticket sent as a TXT file through email? Pardon me if I'm a little skeptical.

And take note of the apparent address this was sent from. Delta Airlines is only Delta Airlines. Pretty sure they NEVER go by other names (like Pelican Air) as if they're franchised or subcontracted out or whatever. And more importantly, I never fly. I've never even heard of Pelican Air before. So I did a quick search on Google and found the following posted as the very first paragraph on a Wiki page

Pelican Air Services was a trading name of Federal Air, an airline based in Johannesburg, South Africa. It now trades under the name Federal Air, and no longer uses the Pelican Air branding.

Yeah, "WAS". It's not called that anymore. And located on the African continent, too. I guess it's merely a coincidence that 99.9% of all scam emails somehow involve persons from that part of the world.

pelicanair.com is a non existent domain.

Ah Indeed those Nigerians make Lmfao!

[Th0m@s29]

Nigerians Constantly Spam And Flood Craigslists With Basically 99% Fake Ads and 1% Of the Shitty Useless Ads you will Never Find in the Millions Of Them Are Actual Legit People Trying To Buy Or Sell But this is Canada, Where www.kijiji.ca Is Best Here But Apperently Craigslist Is Actually Pretty Descent And Best in the United States Of America But I Still Doubt It Even Comes Close To Comparing To How Good Kijiji is in Canada.
