This email puzzled me because it wasn't a standard advance fee scam. Things slowly changed however, that formed it into a classic scam. Luckily for me, I was able to grab my first trophy from "Mr. Makinwa Samuel" and tick him off at the same time.
Hello good day, how are you today? i saw the iPhone you put up for sale and i am interested in it, is it in good condition? So tell me how much would it go for? You should come down a little
bit on the prize, I really need this phone and i can make payment as soon as possible. please send driver lisense along with itMakinwa Samuel
Dear Mr. Samuel:
Thanks for responding to my ad. I attach a picture of the iPhone to this email. Where are you located?
Alex
What matters now is that I saw your advertise and like the phone Ok, now all I want it for is to send it to my wife abroad she is a nurse and works with crossy red, how is the cost of shipping? I am live in Lagos, Nigeria
God bless.
Dear Samuel:
I hope you won't be upset with me. I dropped the phone this morning. There is slight damage. Do you still want it?
Alex
Absolute my freind, the virtue comes not from the beauty of the phone but the use of it. Today I pay you with paypal account you give me your paypal number. (Ain't no way I'm going to do that!)
Dear Samuel:
I dropped the phone again, and then tripped over it. There are some slight cracks in the screen. Do you mind?
Alex
My good freind may I repeat the virtue comes not from the beauty of the phone but the use of it. It accepted in any of conditions. Have you got paypal account number yet?
Dear Samuel:
I'm a bit absentminded, so I put the phone on the stove and plugged my chicken stew into the wall. Before I realized my error, the phone was scorched. Do you still want it? I'm willing to come down on the price.
Alex
No meed to come down on prize freind. I hope you get paypal account number so i’ll be expecting to hear from you soon, thank you my brother
Dear Samuel:
I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but while I was crossing the road yesterday, I had the phone in my pocket. It fell out and was immediately hit by a little old lady driving a school bus. The damage isn't too bad. The phone still exists.
Alex
(This was the picture I sent Samuel - no working phones were harmed)
YOU VERY STUPID ANIMAL I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW YOU CAN HAVE DONE THIS IN THREE DAYS TO PHONE YOU CLUMSY SMALL BOY TO KEEP THIS UP WERE YOU BORN AS CLUMSY OR WERE YOU FATHER AS STUPID?!
Dear Samuel:
I just saw your email, and frankly, I'm shocked. I spend all this time with you and you go and insult me when things aren't going your way. That's VERY cruel of you. I'm going to take my business some where else. Mr. Makonda has been asking for the phone for a long time, and I will sell it to him instead!
Alex
please forgive me Mr. Alex i did not mean any of what was said in pre vious correspond. I have found a man who fix any phone and he promise to fix your two. ("yours too" perhaps?") Please respond if you have not gone way..
Dear Samuel:
Thank you for your apology. I will send the phone to you shortly. Please send details on where to send it.
Alex
Alex.
Things havnot gone as plans go with me. When i attempting to make payment to you with credit debt card the bank would look mad and not except it. I tried many time but they would not except it. I really need phone for my wife in crossy red please sir. The bank man said i could recieve money to buy phone with Western Union outlet. If you send me 450 USD at this addres beneath i will buy phone and pay you back double the sum somepoint. (So this is where the scam is!)
Dear Samuel:
Sure I'll send the money. Expect it soon.
Alex
many thanks my freind
(The guy has been easy so far. Maybe I'll try for a trophy...)
Dear Samuel:
The WU outlet wants you to fill out this form I have attached. Something about Boko Haram killing people by bludgeoning them with cellphones. I'm sorry for the complication, but the WU lady was very insistent that you fill this out.
Alex
Ver well I will fill out form and get back to you by tommorrow send the wu payment tonight.
(Late the next day, Samuel got back with my first filled-out form! And a hilarious passport picture worthy of a two-year old)
I have attach form and completed it enitrely. Please take it to wu oulet and send money to addres mentioned in other email and tell me when it has been sent. Contact me on my whatsapp: --------------
Okay. I’ll take the form to Western Union today, and see if they like it. I’ll also send the money to you. Your passport looks great. Sending images like that makes me trust you
Thank you my brother. Send recept with mtcn number as soon as possibl
(That ain't gonna happen. I waited a couple days. After all, there are more important baits to take care of)
sir have you completed transfer
I have not heard from you. Have you complete transfer
Dear Samuel:
I’m very sorry I haven’t gotten back to you in three days, but I’ve been very busy with some other matters. I’ve been trying to raise bail. The Western Union I went to turned out to be a software pirate shop, not a Western Union. So, I got jailed for aiding and abetting software piracy. I knew that tin hut I wired the money from didn’t look right. Now, I need bail amounting to $500 USD. I’ll repay you someday. Wire it to me immediately via Western Union
Alex
(Samuel responds in this friendly fashion)
