So, here we go again. This time I am involved in a rather shady transaction where they apparently found "$50,000,000.00 milliom USD" in their bank which was unaccounted for. Not as fancy as the other scam for sure. No fancy emails or nothing!!! So, why not offer it to a complete and total stranger? Let's find out!!! :)


Here is the original email which I received on my hotmail account and pasted into an email in Melvin Slackly's account on Gmail.

So, kind of a tester email to see if I can get them to respond... Sometimes the email address are dead by the time they are delivered...

Hello Mr Williams,

You can't believe how good the of timing this email greets me! Here is my informations!

1. Melvin Slackly/No Company
2. At this moment, I don't have a phone. It was a bit of an embarassing situation where my cellphone fell in the toilet and I must get it replaced. I will be doing that at the earliest convenince tho so I will provide that new number soon.

Please provide more information regarding this proposition via email at this time!

I am excited about this opportunity!

Melvin Slackly


2/23/09

Dear Melvin,

It is quite interesting to know you and i believe we are working towards the same goal , as i have ealier written to you i want to know if you can assist us in transfering this funds to your account after which we will meet with you and share in for posible investment. so in your nest mail to me i will like to know what your stand is.
I await your response.
Joe

OKAY! They think "Ah, we might have caught a sucker!". Funny, I had the same thought!!! hehehe


2/23/09

A quick reply back to sound friendly and interested...

Hello Joe,

I must admit you have me intregued! I am not a rich man and 50 mil sure does sound nice!

Mel


2/24/09

Dear Melvin ,

Thank you for brief mail to me though it has to basis , can you please furnish me with vital message of information that will help us start the transfer proccedure , this is a deal of a life time so we should handle it like adults not sounding ridiculous,

please if the interest of humanity let me know where you intrest lies
awaiting your response.
Joe

Hmmm, so they start slamming me right from the get go... This makes me laugh "please if the interest of humanity" LOL


2/24/09

What? Why would you talk to me like that?

Hi Joe,

I am kind of confused about your terminology. What do you mean by "it has to basis"? As far as I know I am not sounding ridiculous. I apologize if I presented myself that way.

Here is my information.

Melvin Slackly

My address is: 12316 S. 33rd St. Omaha, Nebraska 68123

Unfortunately I don't have a fax and because of an embarassing instance in the toilet my only phone, a cell phone, is out of my hands and had to be sent back to my cell carrier for repairs. Could we continue our business over email until my phone is repaired?

Sincerly,

Melvin


2/24/09

Thinking again, I ask a few more questions and show some other interests making sure they feel I am not opposed to "cheating", but come on... Give me something to work with.

Hello again Joe,

I have just reread your first message and it say (i paraphrase) that you have 50 million milliom US dollars in your bank. Is milliom a term from the Netherlands with a special meaning? Do you own the bank? What is your bank because I would like to check it out on the internet. I understand your wanting to be secretive by using a non bank email account if this is not a "legitimate" transfer but I would be interested in some information from you since I have shared my information. Especially if this is not a 'legitimate" transfer because that adds other risks for which I would want to be adequately compensated. I too am worried of your commitment to this issue since you haven't been totally forthcoming with your information. Or at very least given me some other details about this transaction.

Melvin


2/25/09

Dear Melvin,

I am a worker in this bank and this funds has been here since 2004 deposited by one of our customer but during the end of year auditing i and two other senior members of my staff dicorver that nobody came to claim the money so we decieded to investigate the depositor during which we discover that the depositor has actually colected his money this came in as an over invoice so we see this an an avenue for us to make our life better by transfering this money out of the account to a reliable person who we intent to go on partnership with that is where you come in so we are going to transfer this funds to your account and after which we will come to your country and invest it ,

We have your interest at heart as we still work in this bank we know how to make it work as we have been working here for more that two decades,
therefore in your next reply we want to know what you deciede to take as your percentage after the transfer has been made .
we look forward to your quick response.
Joe

Can someone explain to me if this makes any sense??? Of course they have my interest at heart because they are a bank after all, they know how to make it work and I am a complete and total stranger who they have never met!!!


2/25/09

Well, I ask for a bit of clarification about this deal. Also, I don't want to appear greedy. Then show I have concerns as well.

Hi Joe,

An over invoice? Does that mean the money was interest earned on some other deposit? I am curious to know why you picked me to help you. I mean I am greatful and all but wouldn't it have been better to have one of your staff members (who I am guessing you trust) emigrate to the United States and open account instead of trusting a complete stranger? You CAN trust me, but I am just wondering...

Also, having never done any transactions like this in the past, I don't know what a fair percentage would be. Do you have a suggestion? I don't want to appear.... greedy...

Finally, you did not answer my questions about milliom and what bank it is that you work at? Also, what language do you normally speak because some of your phrasing and spelling is weird and I just wonder... These are things I would like to know before committing to go further.

Your friend,

Mel


2/25/09

Dear Mel

Money earned in order deposit is overinvioe, we speak dutch here so dont mind my english we cannot migrate to the sates to open an account and put this money as we still work finally we intend to give you 20% of the total sum , 5%for expensis incure and the rest we be invested in a lucrative business buing houses and reselling when it improve so i know we can do this dont worry you will be fine as we have made sure everybody will be
can we start tomorrow,

please keep this a top secret
Joe

Oh, that makes perfect sense now! YEAH! Hmmm, seems like they already had amounts in mind. Wow! They want to move FAST!!! Hey! It is top secret again!


2/25/09

For a bit of fun, I decide to throw in some crazy lingo too, to go with my occasional mis-spellings.

Hello Joe,

Okay. I understand now that english is not your first language so I will forgive any gramatical inequities.

I must admit that 20% seems more than generous so I feel I can tell you without a doubt that you have my full and utter support and attention! What kind of expenses are involved? I admit to you in confidence of your friendship that I am not a rich man. If these expenses are large, I will need to proceed with some sort of financial assistance (loans, theft, etc) on my end to ensure I have the necessary means. I hope you understand. Tomorrow sounds great!

Your friend,

Mel


2/25/09

Dear Melvin,

Your mail to me was very interesting and i feel relieve after reading it, the expensis i am talking about will be within the range of 10000to 15000US$so i think that is reacheable so let me know so that we can start off by tomorrow.

thank you again
Joe

WOW! They want to get down on it! No beating around the bush now... LOL


2/25/09

Okay, I have already told them I am not a rich man, so I come up with way to come up with cash quick. Suddenly Melvin has a dark and sordid past...

Joe,

That should be well within my grasp if I have a week or so to gather the funds. I will have to do some "creative financing" if you know what I mean... hehehe What would these expenses cover and who/what/how would I make the payment? Are there any legalities we would need to consider?

Melvin


2/26/09

Dear Melvin,

It give me a great deal of joy to know that we can get this done as soon as posible, there are legalities i need to put in place that is where the expensis come in because i have to get a certify court affidafit in your name thus making you legitimate owner of the funds i wll be doing that by next week all other papper will be put in place and sent to you.
On more thing i will like to know is ...will you be able to come to our office if need be??
let me know as soon as posible.
remember to keep this a secret till the deal is done and over with then we can celebrate.
thank you for your time
Joe

Interesting, it seems they are HAPPY to work with a person of lesser scruples.


2/26/09

Lets beef up the story a little bit... Seems I might have just gotten out of jail (if they can read between the lines)... Better give them an update on the phone...

Hi Joe,

That sounds GREAT!!! Will you send this paperwork via email or in the regular mail?

I think a visit to your bank sounds like a great idea too! It will take me a while to arrange that though. How long is this process bound to take? I don't currently have a passport and albiet it is something I should have, I had a bit of trouble with the law, to which I have recently completed my obligations, but alas, it will take my between 6-10 weeks, according to my "advisor", for a tourist passport to come through. Is that too excessive amount of time?

As far as keeping it a secret, you can count on me. I have had shady dealings in the past an know only too well how important propriety is in this type of instance. I certainly have no plans to spend anymore time "inside" if you get my drift...

Your friend and partner,

Melvin

P.S. I spoke with my cellular provider and they suggested that my phone will be repaired by the middle of next week so I will provide my number at that time okay?


2/26/09

Dear Melvin,

Your are definately the type of guy i need for this transation i will love to talk to you on phone cant you call me its important,anyway as for the time is far too long so what we need to do is get the wire transfer bank to bank term in that case we will be meeting you once the transfer has been made , so tell us the closiest airport to you so please get the funds for the affidafit ready they will be needing it by next week and do get your recieving account ready
i will be sending some of the pappers to you by tomorrow
let me know when you can get the needed funds so that i will know how to programme the whole thing in order not to waste time
I thank you melvin
God bless you
Joe

my Pho.+31659005891

Huh, he likes what he hears... LOL


2/26/09

I don't REALLY want to talk to him and I have already told him a couple times I am not rich. May be just a tiny bit of a threat there? Is it the end of the line here?

Hello Joe,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you today. I don't have my own computer and must use them where I can find them and because of certain curcumstances was not able to get to one until late. I do have a bank account so transfering money should be no problem. Can you provide me details on the costs I must associate and send to you that will need for wiring for the affidafit and any other applicable costs occuring with this business? The soonest you can provide me a list of specific costs and the associated deadlines the better because as I told you before I am not a rich man and will have to arrange for funding using various alternate sources at my disposal. I hope you understand that I cannot just pull large amounts of cash out of my sphincter. So I will need costs and timetables to allow me to prepare.

Also, I have little means of contacting you via phone at this time. I know you suggest this transaction should remain under the strictest confidence because of its sensitive nature. Well, there are no longer "pay" phones readily available here in the States. Also, I don't want to use a friends phone for fear of them getting suspicious of the costs incurred upon their account. So, I hope you understand that it is in both our best interests to wait until my phone is repaired next week before I call because then I will have full control of the billing and our secret will continue as such.

I hope you understand that I will not go back "inside" without taking people with me and because you are my friend and have indicated your sincerity to this transaction I think it in both our best interests to proceed cautiously yet as rapidly as possible.

Your friend,

Mel


2/27/09

Dear Melvin,

Thank you so much for your word of encouragement and understanding , though i have not see or spoken to you i feel like i am dealing with somebody that i know since all my life and i bet you will never regret knowing me i have check with court and my finding of the affidafit is

4500euro for the order at local court
3500euro for endorsement
1500euro for full lagality
you can convert it and know how much it will be in your country currency
i will send you the recieving account detail later in the day
please get your reciving account ready as we intend to conclude this next week
looking forward to seeing you inperson
Joe

This is one thing I enjoy about this process. You can tell them things like "cannot just pull large amounts of cash out of my sphincter" and "I will not go back 'inside' without taking people with me" and you get a nice email like this... HAHAHAHA


2/27/09

Thought I would make my cut a bit larger than 25% to see if they would "correct" me... Also, to use one of their terms "modalities"... :)

JOE!

Thank you for your understanding and the details for the transaction! That is it? After I send sufficient funds to cover these three transactions then I will have $15 million dollars? I must admit I am pretty excited! I think our friendship will be long and lucritive!

I anxiously await the transfer information so I can proceed with the modalities!

Your excited and soon to be rich friend,

Melvin


2/27/09

Dear Melvin,

Thank you for the mail , i have requested the account information which i will be sending to you later , meanwhile here is a power of attorney draw up for the transation , do keep it for record

Joe

Wow! First off, they did not correct my $2.5 million overage in my desires. Something tells me they don't give a HOOT how much I think I will get. Now, the official looking documents are starting to come in!!! Check out the fancy WordArt header! Check out the signature which perfectly matches the name!


2/27/09

Okay, maybe I CAN pull large wads of cash out of my sphincter!!!

Thank you Joe.

It was a busy night last night but I think I have most of the money needed for this transaction (if exchange rates do not get any worse over the weekend). Can you tell me if I may just do one transfer or will I need to break it up in to transactional catergories? I would like to make these modalities go as rapidly as possible so we do not have any delays.

Once the money is transfered, how long until I will get my percentages?

Mel


2/27/09

Dear Melvin.

Your mail was recieve and the content noted therein, if we successfully get the pappers in place in 3 working days we whould have been done and over with,

you dont need to transfer the money by bit just do it at once and i will take care of the rest proccedure
thank you again, Joe

Okay. Start the count... THREE WORKING DAYS AND I WILL BE RICH!


2/27/09

Let's just see how THIS goes over!!! :)

Hi Joe!

What a day. I have been sitting in this computer cafe waiting for an hour for a computer to open up. That will be one of my first purchases when I get my money!

Thank you for the informations! The banks are closed here now as I am sure they are there. So, as soon as I get the procedural transfer modality I will get to my bank on monday and get the money on its way to you.

It will be nice to have the weekend to make sure my money is enough to meet your needs for transactional completeness but it will be a long weekend waiting, knowing such a large sum hangs in the balance. I am anxiously awaiting the information for the wiring so I can be prepared at my earliest convenience! Um, I will just do a wire transfer directly from my account to your account or whose account will it go to? I believe in the states we need a routing number, account number and a name on the account for the receiving account. Does that sound about right to you? I am asking you as a member of the banking profession.

After looking at the power of atorney I notice that the signature does not seem to match the name. Who actually signed the POT? Is that normal procedure? I have no experience with these matters so if it is usual, please elaborate. Also, I see lots of names on the paper (Douglas Richwell (ex-diplomat?) Velma J. McMillen (who oddly enough has the same name as my dearly deceiced aunt!!!! The woman nearly raised me as her own! RIP) and Jim Tyron). Are all these people in on the scheme? I am wondering because I am concerned my percentage might shrink from the $15 million we have already agreed upon. I wonder, would it be worth our time to have Mr Goldstein write up further documents elucidating the financial arrangement between us? Please elaborate on this as well.

Thank you for your time.

Melvin


2/27/09

Dear Melvin,

Its been a hectic day for me , but i will get the account to you later in the day , as for the names in that power of attorney those are reflection based on the overinvoice as for the signing that is the attorney signature so dont worry
finally what we agree on is what we are working on so your share remain as ealier discuss , i am a man of my word
thank you for your time

Joe

I am not sure. I need to do a bit of studying... Something tells me this Joe is not the same Joe I have been working with. The phrasing is different and spelling is better. Do you suppose they have a rank structure? Some low level guys troll for suckers then when it seems like there might be a payoff they pass on to the big guns??? Lets just see... Anyway, it is interesting that they have no apparent concern for my $2.5 million excessive claim against the total...


2/27/09

Aw, cut the guy some slack! Even scammers have hard days at work!!!

One of those days for you too eh Joe?

Thank you for the reassurance on the number of issues I queried upon. Talks with you soon. I guess I better give up this computer. People are waiting their turn. Off to find some more money!

Mel


2/28/09

Dear Melvin,

Find the account information

BARCLAYS BANK PLC

ACCOUNT NUMBER::63046176
BENEFICIARY..GENERAL CONTRACTORS UK LIMITED

Please after the payment endeavous to send the slip for tracking
and do make available the recieving account

expecting to hear from you
Joe

I don't know. They sometimes seem a little bit rude...


2/28/09

So, I ask the obvious question...

Good morning Joe.

I am wondering what you are expecting to hear from me?

Mel.


2/28/09

Okay, and a couple more questions.

Joe,

Now that you mention it, I DO have some questions. If you work at a bank, in the Netherlands, why am I sending my money to a bank in the UK? Won't it be a bit difficult for you to deal with the normal financial matters at hand if the money is thousands of miles away?

Mel


2/28/09

Dear Melvin,

This company and account was set up for this popurse so it does not pose any hindrance , once the money reflect on it we can get it anywhere in europe immidiately you once told me you know how to handle this type of deal
so we are but dont worry just play your part and leave the reast to us
Joe

Like if I knew how to handle this type of deal I would need THEIR help...


2/28/09

So I suggest that...

Hi Joe,

I understand about the account now thank you. I don't think I did ever tell you I know how to handle this type of deal or I would want more then 25% I hope you understand. I told you I know alternative ways of making other money and only now am I learning this method as well. I will provide my bank informations as soon as I am able to get there to wire your money. I have not gathered that yet because I don't want to obtain a lot of unnecessary interest on our proposal. I hope you understand fully.

After now today I will not be at a computer. I will try checking in again tomorrow.

Your friend,

Mel


3/2/09

Well, time to get going again...

Good morning Joe,

Hope the weekend treated you well. It did me. I stopped in to get a cup of coffee and check my emails while I wait for the bank to open. Are there any other details I will need to worry about after I transfer the money to you?

Your friend,

Melvin


3/2/09

Dear Melvin,

There is nothing to worry about , just wait for the papers and send in the recieving account detail
JOE

Ah, this time we got all caps JOE!!! hehehe


3/2/09

So, here I sent them a corrupted 7MB file, which has a jpg extension and is the RECEIPT they are wanting.

Thank you Joe!

Just back from the bank! Here is my scanned receipt for the transfer!!!! This is getting exciting!

Here is my banking informations.

Name: Melvin E. Slackly
Sort Code: 05-22-16
Routing Number: 121301057
Account Number: 009058762

How many days now until the money arrives? Then what will happen?

Melvin


3/2/09

Dear Melvin,

I could not download the payment slip , can you resend it , i will apprecite it

Joe

Hmmm, for some reason that file is causing them some problems...


3/2/09

Dear Melvin,

It is good to know that you have done your part but its unfortunate that we could not open the file , i have try three computers and non show anything, plase kindly resend it because we want to know how much you send and the time the money will arrive the account so that we can programme the whole thing and let you know when to expect the transfer.
Sorry for the inconvinience
Joe

Still.... hehehe Received this one 20 minutes after the first.


3/2/09

So, "I have some guy rescan the receipt and send them this one". Actually it is a screen capture of an Excel document with some image editing to "rough it up" a bit. Notice the center two digits in their account "64" should be "46". In fact, I am not even sure a legitimate transaction would go through on my end with an invalid account number. BUT, what do I know??? I can always blame those darn computers!!! :)

Hi Joe,

Sorry, for some reason the first one was really big and won't open anyway... Can't get good help around here. I asked him to rescan it for me.

Melvin


3/2/09

Then I sent this one...

Hello Joe,

Please let me know if my second send worked out? I have to get off this computer now, there is a line, but I will want to make sure I don't need to have him rescan yet again. The first attempt has me a little concerned about this guy's ability to use his equipment, I hope you understand! Also, if you will let me know when the money arrives into your account, I would be greatful! I will not rest easily until we can proceed with our business agreement! I will check back as soon as I can.

Melvin


3/2/09

Dear Melvin,

Thank you for the transfer slip i will be checking to know when the funds will arrive , when i get it i will let you know when the wire transfer will be made .
Thanking you for your understanding and sincererity ,by the grace of God the deal with transform our lifetime
Hoping to hear from you
Your friend .
Joe

Now, for the hard part. To wait patiently for them to get tired of waiting for the money...


3/3/09

Update 03/03/09 PM

Dear Melvin,

I just want to let you know that the funds has not arrive in my bank yet so if you can check with your bank to know exactly when it will be here will do a lot of good to us
when is your phone going to be ready
Joe

Still no dough in the morning... Of course it would do them a lot of good to know when the cash will arrive...


3/3/09

So, I will go check on this...

Good morning Joe,

Like I said before, it is difficult to find good help here. I will go to my bank as soon as they open and find out this disturbing situation. One would think that this is something they do on nearly a daily basis so why is it troublesome??? UGH!

Oh, I was told my phone will be back tomorrow so I will ge checking with them first thing tomorrow too.

I will find out about the funds and let you know the situation!!!

Melvin


3/3/09

Dear Melvin

I check throught the payment slip you sent to me the account number is incorrect

this is the correct no 63046176 not 63064176 please tell them to correct it
Joe

I am actually surprised they looked at it close enough to notice the "problem"...


3/3/09

I decide to bring up the fraudster thing

Hello Joe,

I returned from the bank just now. That is what I discovered as well. But when I asked them to correct the account number and resend, I receved a document back which suggests that you have not been totally truthful to me. It is a document which suggests the account provided is related to fraudsters. Is that true? I am not certain of the propriety of sending such informations to you as it indicates certain actions are pending...

Melvin


3/3/09

Dear Melvin,

I dont know what your bank are saying but like i told you this account was set up for this popuse the only funds that has entered this account is the ones we use in putting the pappers work in place before this one and it is 340000 US$ which we all contributed because of this deal so any other thing i am not aware of but i know in uk they ask so many tion due to the terroist and all like it is in your country but there is nothing to worry about as i am real and i tell you all you need to know , so i think we need to rethink of what way to get this funds over. This one is not my worry , my worry now is if we transfer this money to your account whould there be any problem? dont tell anything about this deal as it will blow up and put us in a fix remember i still work here remember ,

They were asking us all kind of question when we where opening the account.
but just dont give them further infomation i will figure out another account for you
but what o you think , dont you have a different bank because we are very worried with this bank
just tell them to hold up and let me know what you think

Joe

Okay, I guess I am feeling a little guilty here. They put in $340,000 while I am only contributing $12,000? What is MY problem??? They are real and tell me all I need to know!!!


3/3/09

So, I send my fraud alert...

Hello Joe,

I admit that I am still a bit unnerved by what the bank told me. Because I think you are a friend, I am sending the file along to you. It was a bit embarrasing having it scanned but I think it is for the best because if this transaction is to go through I think we will need total honesty between us. I hope you understand! So, please review this document and let me know if you feel safe to continue.

Melvin


3/3/09

Dear Friend Melvin,

It amaze me to see this but i think we are to be more modest and carefull, i dont even know this not untill now, but in any case we are not going back in our transaction but meanwhile stop using this bank as we may be monitored but the truth is let us use another bank and i will not want us to loose the funds and our friendship i will give you an account or we can even use another device maybe western union or money gramm transfer but in your case i think you need another bank for this amout ,

You are a man of your word so i am so tell me what method you think we can use .
i am waiting for your response , am sittin here waiting for you

Joe

Suddenly I am a DEAR FRIEND! They apparently are completely fooled by this document and want to know if I will continue.


3/3/09

To be honest, I am a bit surprised they did not burst into denials and the like. They seem to be professionals!

Hello Joe,

I am glad to hear that you are who you say you are and that you are willing to continue. However, I need to think about a way to get my money out of my bank without raising suspicions now. Also, there is a line up for computers again so I will have to log off for a while. I will check back with you after the line dies down again. I will be happy to have my phone back so we can discuss this over the phone.

Melvin


3/3/09

Dear Melvin,

It will be my pleasure to talk to you and meet you after we have conclude this deal and to drink with you and merry because i know you are a man of your word and God has a popuse for sending you my way and i know we will do a lot of things together , i am so sorry for the trouble i am causing you , but remember nothing good comes easy i will send you another account with my name on it or my colleague as it is not going to be outside our juridiction . Melvin do you know we will be great men after this just pary and keep everything to yourself, God is graet
till i hear from you stay bless.
Joe

I am such a liar. I have NO intention of talking to them...


3/3/09

Dear Melvin,

I am just checking on you to know if you have got my previous mail please let me know how you are faring
till i read from you stay bless
Joe

Ah, after such a tramatic discovery, no wonder they are concerned about my condition...


3/3/09

MY CONDITION ISN'T GREAT JOE! I JUST HAD $12.5 MILLION RIPPED FROM MY FINGERS!!!

Hello Joe,

I am having a bit of turmoil in my life. I have in the past admitted that I have little problem doing what it takes to make a certain amount of money. However, I have also been with this bank for over 12 years and have never had any reason to doubt what they have told me. Here I just became associted with you a short time ago and now my bank is to blame? I don't know. I am confused and must think about this situation for a bit before I proceed any further. I hope you understand. You seem like a nice god fearing sort so I am not entirely regretting my decision to help you out. I just must come to some personal understanding what I must do. $12,000 thousand dollars is a lot of money to be just throwing into the wind if what my bank tells me is true...

Your friend,

Melvin

Dear Melvin,

I am not trying to tell you what to do and what not to do as you are a man so you can make your decision without questions , the only way i will be able to make myself known is to making this happen but if you are not ready anymore let me know so that i dont change the most vital papers to your name , we can still be friends in that case i will look out for somebody else to get it done ,
the only reason why all this are happening is your inability to travel at this time because of your passport , if your pasport is readily available now i will ask you to come down and see things for yourself.Furthermore i am with this bank for 19years i know what revolve around banking more than you do especially at this time of economic instability so let make hail while the sun shine

In my thinking i will love to get the funds to your account before the end of the week as we planed.

let me know your standpoint as time is of the essence.
but even if you have deciede not to partake please keep this as secret for Gods sake.

i am expecting to hear from you.
Joe

Ah, if I don't want to go through with it, he can still be my friend as long as I keep a secret...

So, let's see if they want to party...

Hello Joe,

I am still not sure how we proceed. Would you be willing to transfer some money to MY account to prove your commitment to our partnership?

Melvin

I am willing to transfer the amout to your account if neccesary but how will i do that when the proccedure has not be completed, i am short of words at the turn of even now , anyway you have shown me that you are a man , if i find somebody who will continue from where you stop once we conclude the trasfer i will pay you a visit to tell you thank and give you what i can ,
Thank you once again
Joe

OH, we haven't completed MY side of the transfer so how could they possibly send me any cash? Did they not say there was $340,000 USD in the account I was transfering to???


3/4/09

Dear Melvin,

I will love to speak to you , try and call me or give me your number when your phone is ready.
Joe

Oh, that is so sweet. I will have to try calling him... NOT!!! Today is the day my phone is supposed to be done!!!


3/4/09

Time for a sob story... I better lay low because I am feeling a bit I am a bit paranoid.

Hello Joe,

I am having another troubling day. I went to get my phone and it is not ready as they promised. AND I found out I don't even have the ability to accept or make international calls! AND to top it all off, because of my "record" I talked to my "advisor" and I am not allowed to have contact with foreiners until I have finished the outside part of my commitment. So, because of that, I am in a rather precarious position. Especially with all the eyes of the law on me. I am wondering if it is even possible to proceed with this project when at the end I will be pretty well off and I might have the eyes of the law on me even more.

Please provide insite and reassurances to how we can proceed. The money I have gathered is still trapped in the bank because I am fearing taking it out and drawing further attentions to me. Sometimes, I wish I had lead a more modest life style where I did not gather such attention to myself causing me to loose 10 years of my life inside. I hope you understand what I am saying. I must be fairly cryptic in case someone is reading my emails without my knowledge and reading yours as well according to this fraud form I sent you. I may have to lie low for a few days just to see if I am being watched. Could that hinder our relationship as well?

Your friend,

Melvin


3/4/09

Dear Melvin,

Although i have not meet with you i already have a strong bond for you , i respect people who are modest and that is why i cant let you go without us establishing a good relationship , as for the email i am writing you dont worry i know how to play safe i dont write this email from home or of office , i live in a town close to atwerp in belgium so i always live the netherland to write and recive your mail there, so dont worry ,
as for the deal i will wait for you i am not a greedy person and considering the pain i am causing you i will want you to benefit from this deal as i much i will .
if i may ask can i know the offence you commited that made you go in for 10years i have a good contact with FBI i can let him give me some advise as to how you will run your things ,

But dont worry i know a lot of place where you can have an account and nobody will question your account as the deatil will not be given to even your government as soon as you are ready let me know.

We can open up an account for you in Swiszerland, Luxemburg and the Bahamas nobody will know and i know a lot of your country men who stock billions of dollars in swiss bank and they live in america so just play kool and let me know when you are ready

My last advis is that you change your internet cafe as you are too regular there now .
so i expect to hear from you
Yours Friend
Joe

Wiping a tear from the corner of my eye!!! They seem to have every angle covered. I am laying low so I won't respond for a while...


3/11/09

I throw them a curve... Melvin has violently passed on... He did not lay low enough. Wondering if I will hear back from them or if this is the end of the story...

Hello Mr Williams,

My name is Lieutenant Dan Tyminski. I am with the Omaha Police Department and am investigating the recent homicide of one Melvin Slackly. As part of a search warrant related to his death, we obtained access to his email accounts and contacts. That is why I am sending you a note from his account. Unfortunately, he was very fastidious in clearing his email accounts as we only have a list of contacts but no actual emails. We are considering subpoenas to gain his email history from Gmail and his other email accounts for more information, but in the mean time I am wondering if you might have any information regarding this murder as you seem to be one of the last persons he communicated with.

It appears to have been a "gang land" style murder. Because of this there are several factors to consider, especially since he was fully aware, according to the terms of his probation, that he was not to be in contact with foreign nationals. Mr. Slackly was a well known forgery expert, which is probably what lead to this murder. As such, we are wondering what his involvement with you entailed. Was this a business relationship or merely a personal relationship? We are wondering if you might have been in receipt of any documents he might have created?

Any details and information you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Lt Tyminski

Dear sir,
It is qiute surprising that i am seeing this but i think something is wrong somewhere , i know melvin just three weeks ago and we have only communicate through mail , his last mail to me he told he once went in for ten years and in my reply to him i was asking him what he did before i got this mail
i live in europe i dont know him and what he does but i wish you success in looking for his murderer

Joe

Okay. I must admit that I a QUITE surprised that "Joe" actually replied!!! Guess I will have to reply back with a couple more questions from the LT!!!


Update 03/12/09 PM

3/12/09

So, I reply back

Mr Williams,

I must admit to you that we were able to get access to Melvin’s emails. Knowing Melvin’s criminal record as I do, it is apparent to me that you were attempting to scam each other. I know several things about this case. Number one, that you were attempting to pull off a variant of the Nigerian scam on Melvin. Number two, I know that he had no money, he lived in a halfway house or hostel as you might call it. Number three, there is no such bank as the First Bank of Omaha that he ‘used’ for the transfer receipt and that this WOBFIATA outfit was a figment of Melvin’s imagination.

I can only assume the same is true in your case, no money in any bank to transfer to Melvin once he sent you the ‘expenses’. Even the power of attorney letter is a blatant fake. I can only assume with his background, that Melvin had a good laugh at that.

So, now that I know these details I must ask; are you and/or your associates responsible for Melvin’s murder? It is apparent to me and my partner that you would have motive if you had discovered that he had attempted to reverse this scam on you. Did Melvin attempt to get some money from you? Was he successful?

We need these details in case we have unaccounted for funds which we must locate and return to their rightful owners (you?).

In any case, International Banking Code 10-1876-A Paragraph 4a states (in part): “Any funds generated (e.g.; interest, transaction fees, usage charges, account overages) from funds deposited into an account will be the sole property of the depositor or the depositor’s estate.” If you have illicitly acquired these types of funds as an actual bank employee, it will only be a matter of time before your local auditors discover the discrepancy and have a serious discussion with you and your local authorities.

Lt Tyminski


3/12/09

Dear Whoever your name is ,

I want to let you know that you are not a police as you claim to be because i called the police station with this number+14024445656 and there was nobody like you there.
so i advise you to go f--- yourself and stop writing me stupid mail ok
if you send me any email agin i will have ur a$$ roasted. a$$hole

I edited the naughty bits a little bit...


3/12/09

Don't be a silly goose!!!

Mr Williams,

Of course they did not acknowledge my name on the Crime Stoppers hotline. That is normal operating procedure. I am surprised you did not know that.

Lt Tyminski


3/12/09

Dear who ,

I did not call a hotline for your information i called amaha police station homicide department which you claim you were and nobody knows you .
so go rot in hell for all i care

I might be mistaken but they sound offended!!!


3/12/09

Yeah, I can Google phone numbers too!!!

Um, Mr Whoever YOU are,

The number you provided is for the community to call and report crimes. It is a standard procedure in the states. Also, it is policy that we do not just provide names of officers involved in active cases to prevent corrupting the case. Captain Wanebo has already informed me that someone from an overseas number has been calling and asking for me, however since I am investigating YOU I informed him not to put you through because I already know you are a fraudster, I don't need to talk to you. I will however be putting the further information I have about you on the wire to build a case against you when we finally track you down.

Lt Tyminski


3/12/09

Look i know you are melvin, so stop fooling yourself because i know you are not dead , and one thing you think i am really dumb , you never send any money i wanted to know what your response are i am far smarter than you , i have a list of transfer slip and that one you send was a fake check or draft so go learn more as you are not qualify to rub we the black men
sorry men you are a looser
so go f--- your mother and sisters , if you have relation go f--- them a$$hole

"not qualify to rub we the black men"??? WHAT THE??? Funny how I tricked them, yet I am the "looser"... HAHAHAHA


3/12/09

Okay, I level with them...

Okay, you are right about one thing... Melvin is not dead because there never was a Melvin or a Lt Tyminski or a Capt Wanebo. Only the name exists and I reeled you in like a big COD fish. I can't wait to get you again. My friends and I laugh at your pathetic scam. Every scam you attempt could be me wasting your time and efforts. So be ready because you may be dealing with me again in the near future genius.


3/12/09

i have nothing to loose motherf---er i knew you right from the onset , i never believe you or your stories or the money you claim to have send i was only enjoying your foolishness, but believe it or not i am very ok
i know i can afford a lot of good things in ife
so go and die

Um, yeah...


3/12/09

Taunting...

Uh huh... So I guess we were laughing at each other then. It is funny how everytime one of these thing ends, the guy at the other end (YOU this time) gets all pissed off and starts calling names and telling me to die but that they knew all along and were just going along with it because I was such a dismal adversary... You make me laugh even more!!!


3/12/09

Taunting a little more...

Please note my continued emails. I await my roasting...
