I have my doubts about her origins...
The scammer's name has been changed; my comments are in bold.
17 March
Greetings Sir/Madam, My name is Lorraine Wendouree, I am a 24 years old female from Romania. I am seeking your assistance to be my partner and advisor for an investment in your country, for money that I inherited from my late mother, I wish to relocate to your country. I will give you more details after I hear from you. I await your reply and May God bless you. Lorraine Wendouree.
Wendouree is a suburb of Ballarat, in Victoria, just so you know. The Lad(ette)'s original moniker does sound like an Australian place name.
Hello Lorraine Pleased to meet you. I have to be honest, I couldnt really be helping you invest, Im a photomodel, I know peeps who prolly could help, best I can do really. BTW, where did you here about me, hope it was something good. Be blessed Camille White
Polygamous families in Romania?
19 March Hello, Thanks for your reply to my email. I am writing this letter to you with pains and sorrow in my heart. I am from a polygamous family, My mother (Citra Wendouree) married my father as the first wife. I lost my mother and father in a plane crash on board with Air-Asia which made me an orphan. My late father was a gold miner and on the same hand a supplier to most of the foreign countries. He was rich but my stepmother has claimed all properties with her biological children and nothing was left for me. I have been receiving maltreatment from my stepmother and relatives because I am the only child of my mother. Just recently, my stepmother and relatives conspired and sold my mother's owned property to an Italian Expatriate which they shared the money among themselves and left nothing for me. Early last month, I discovered some documents which show that my mother deposited some large amounts of money in one of the security/finance company with my name as the next of kin. The amount is US$9,355,000 (Nine Million, Three hundred and fifty five thousand U.S Dollars) and I have made contact with the company and confirmed the deposit. The officer whom I contacted said the deposit is due for claim, but he told me that my mother's instruction is that the money will only be released to me when I present a guardian/trustee who will help me and invest the money in abroad, Because right from time my mother had always wished I live in abroad. I decided to reveal this information to you with sincerity, honesty and believing that you will be kind and honest to help me invest this money on my behalf into a good and profitable business investment over there in your country. I have decided to offer you 30% of the total sum for your kindness, we will use part of the money for Charity work, to help the orphanage children in the society and then invest the rest in any profitable business there. Please kindly keep this matter only to yourself and me until we have finalized the arrangement. I have the document and information for the claim. Please confirm if you are ready to assist me and also assure me that you will not betray me at last. Lorraine Wendouree
I slipped up in my reply, and forgot to write in the same style. I hope the Lad doesn't notice...
Lorraine I don't know quite what to say. I'll have to admit straight up that I don't do investment, so if that's an issue, better tell me now. Apart from that, I'm ready to help, if I can. I will ask, what part of Romania are you from? I've always wanted to go to Romania. Regards Camille White

Bragging?
I wonder how parts of this scammer's pitch made it through the Darwinism that these modalities normally go through. The "let us help orphans" part, specifically.
Does this part of the pitch help convince the potential victim to "get over the hump" of believing the speil? I would think that a potential victim would come on board for just the offer of a percentage.

She didn't notice the shift in style.
21 March Hello, Thanks for your sincerity in assisting me to receive my money in all honesty. This money was deposited as a valuable family treasure by my late mother and I have the deposit certificate which is one of the documented pieces of evidence. I would like you to send to me the below information which will enable me to prepare a letter of authorization that I need to forward to the firm for the claim of the fund on my behalf. 1. Your full Names 2. Contact address 3. Direct telephone number Please note that as instructed by my late mother during the time of deposit; you are standing as my confidant/investor. God will always be with us. Lorraine Wendouree
She's going to tell Cammy about Romania some day!
Lorraine, I can be your confidant, but investor, no; like I said, I don't know anything about investment. My BBFF does all that. 1. Your full Names: Camille White 2. Contact address: REDACTED 3. Direct telephone number: REDACTED (it's a VTT line, and prolly won't work with international calls, just so you know) Please tell about what part of Romania you come from. Romania is on my wish-list for travel now that international travel is OK. Also, a picture would be kewl, just saying. Oh, and call me Cammy. All my friends do. Cammy

Lorraine I haven't heard from you in over a week. Are you OK? Cammy
31 March Dear Cammy, Good morning and thanks for your email. I am processing the paperwork and will let you know when it is ready tomorrow. Attached is a copy of my passport for your perusal. Lorraine
The picture on the passport shows an attractive blonde. Cammy enthuses.
Lorraine You're a babe! Freyja would approve. But you still haven't told me about the part of Romania you come from. I'd really like to know. Cammy
FINALLY! A place in Romania... and it's one I've heard of as well. Looks like a nice place.

I forwarded the email with an explanatory note, and cc'd Lorraine.
Attention: Byford Dolphin Lorraine Wendouree asked me to contact you as her guardian. See below for more details. Regards Camille White
Just forty minutes later...
4 April Attn: Camille White This is to acknowledge your e-mail in regards to Lorraine Wirangee. I am morally obliged to inform you that we will need you to send to us any of your photo Identification (Driver's License, International passport or any ID card). You will also need to send to us a copy of the transaction deposit certificate to enable us proceed with the clearance of the file. Thanks Byford Dolphin Silver Security and Financial Company
Straight for the ID scan! This might not last long...
5 April Dear Cammy, Good morning and thanks for the update. Lorrraine
Mr Dolphin I understand why you're asking for ID of some kind, but there's a problem. I don't have a driving licence, there's no actual government ID card like in Europe, and Australian passports can't be copied; I think it's the same in all NATO nations. We'll need a workaround on this issue; please advise. Regards Camille White
Looks like they're playing hardball.
Damn.
6 April Attn: Camille White There is nothing we can do without you sending us copy any of your photo Identification. Thanks Byford Dolphin Golden Security and Financial Company
Mr Dolphin I know what you said, for the love of Freyja! I was asking if there was a way around the problems with ID. Don't you have any ideas? Camille White

They chose to be flexible after all!
7 April Attn: Camille White You can send any of your picture and we will go from there. Thanks Byford Dolphin Silver Security and Financial Company
I took three days to reply; some RL issues.
Cammy has another suggestion.
Mr Dolphi How about this; my photograph and my passport number? You can check the number with the Australian embassy. That should cover everything! Camille White

Mr Dolphin Here's what you asked for. Camille White

They're being a tad leisurely about this. I assume a big payout is expected.

Now they've stopped being leisurely. $2,050 doesn't seem like much, but then I guess it's the commitment fee.
20 April Attn: Camille White Congratulations. I am directed to inform you that the trunk with batch number REDACTED has been approved for release to you as legal trustee after verification by our legal department.
You are required to personally come down to our office here in New York with the sum of US$2,050 (Security/Demurage fee) to sign and collect the consignment with batch number REDACTED. If you cannot come down here to our office here; we will then facilitate the secure delivery of the consignment to your address through one of the companies that are affiliated to us. Be rest assured, that all detailed arrangements have been completed upon your arrival or delivery depending on the option you choose. Get back to us upon receipt for further progressive updates. Thanks Byford Dolphin Silver Security and Financial Company
Cammy is busy with preparations for Anzac Day, so she might not see the message before tomorrow, and that's Freyja-Day, so she might not be replying before the weekend, if then...

I'd better get things moving...
Mr Dolphin Send me the invoice for the fee and the receiving account, then. I shouldn't have to ask. Camille White
Anyone willing to bet that the scammer will promise to send the invoice after payment?

They haven't resorted to promising an invoice after payment yet... just repetition.

You will be required to send the sum of US$2,050 to enable us proceed with the delivery Thanks Byford Dolphin Silver Security and Financial Company
However... that email was formatted so that the message didn't show unless I selected "Show original message." Cammy, being a ditz, didn't do that.
Instead, her usual Saturday morning good mood after Freyja-day worship soured very quickly.
Mr Dolphin Sending a blank email... what was that shitfuckery supposed to achieve? Just send me the fucking invoice and the receiving account! Nothing happens until you do as I say. Camille White
Lorraine was cc'd on that. I wonder how she'll react.

2 May Dear Cammy, There is more to life when you start your day on a positive note. Forget all the bad memories of a month that’s already gone. Prepare yourself for yet another beautiful month that starts with a delightful experience. Let this Sunday start as a week full of blessings and opportunities. Wishing you a bright and beautiful new Month Lorraine
What was that supposed to achieve?
Lorraine My life is going great, just so you know! I don't need desk calendar waffle to lift my mood! I'll cut you some slack cos you're cute, but listen up, darlin; the only thing that's giving me any grief is that fucker Dolphin not doing what he's fucking well told, and you should be giving him a boot in the nads for that! Cammy
