I wondered how the scammer would react upon realizing I mistakenly thought he was an old friend with whom I shared a rather sordid history.
I was happily surprised to see he went along with the fiction, as we both stuck to and improvised upon my fictitious backstory...for 4 months.

It all begins with this email from LD Holt...Subject: re: Important!!!.

Scammer:
Hello,
My names are Leslie Douglas Holt and I have a business idea that could be of mutual benefit if you would be interested.
Please contact me on my email....
Sincerely,
LD Holt.
Wait a minute, what?? Leslie Douglas Holt?? What are the odds?
Me:
Hello Les - Wow, it's been a long time!
What's up with you?
What's up with you?
Are you going by "Leslie" instead of "Les" these days?
Last I heard, you and Janie were touring the country in your motor home. I hope you two are still together...?
As for me, Barbara Ann and I are still together. (And they said it wouldn't last!) I might have slowed down a little bit compared to the old days, but when I'm not in my room, doing my daily affirmations, I get around.

So, okay, what's your business idea? (Hopefully it's better than what we tried to pull off in high school!) Ever since COVID, I've been trying to think of something new to do, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
Your pal,

Soon I receive a reply from Les...but if I didn't know better I'd think he never read my email reply to his original email....
Scammer:

I await your prompt response to my email.
Kind Regards,

Jeez, he makes it sound as though he doesn't even know me! I had hoped that with the passage of time Les would have learned to forgive and forget — or at least one of those two things.
Well, if you're like me then you know one thing I won't put up with is someone who knows me pretending that he doesn't know me....
ME:
Hello Les -
Hey, did you see the few questions I asked you in my earlier reply?
Before we get down to business, I want to make sure you and I are on good terms now. As you'll recall, the last time I saw you was when you and Janie climbed aboard the last train to Clarksville.
That was right after the "incident," for which I still hold deep regret. Obviously this doesn't excuse anything that may or may not have happened, but both of us had had a LOT to drink that night.
Because I almost never drink alcohol (with the exception of the sacrificial wine) and Janie is so petite, I swear neither of us really knew what we were doing. It certainly wasn't planned; it just happened. Believe me, both of us felt terrible afterwards — especially the second time that night.
You said some pretty harsh things at the time, and doing business together requires mutual respect on both sides — and also mutual trust from both of us.
When I first saw your previous earlier email, it made me so happy to think you must be reaching out to me with a brand new key to our friendship. But the fact that your reply to my reply was 100% business language and not at all personal leads me to fear you still feel as cold as ice toward me.
So you don't have to go looking through your pile of emails for them, here are the questions I had asked:
* What's up with you?
* Are you going by "Leslie" instead of "Les" these days?
* Are you and Janie still together? (If so, you're a lucky guy; I can tell you from experience that she's pretty hot!)
* Where are you living these days?
Les, I truly would love to work with you on this business idea that you have — but only if I know we're friends again. On the other hand, conversely, if you still hate me then I just wouldn't feel comfortable working closely with you.
Please take just a couple of minutes to give your honest, candid responses to my questions, so I know where we stand. Once I know that, like me, you've reached the point where once again we can trust and enjoy working with each other, I know I'll be very interested in learning the details of your business plan.

But it doesn't look as though Les has learned to forgive and forget. And least, not both at once. After a long period of silence, I give it one more try....

Hello, Les -
It has been 2 months since I replied to your reply to my response to your original email, but I haven't heard back from you.
Because your original email unexpectedly came to me "out of the blue," I had hoped that meant you decided to forgive & forget whatever may or may not have happened that night between Janie and me.
I have always thought of our friendship as being evergreen and always there, and I would do almost anything to return things to the way they were.
Do you plan to write back to me so we can catch up on Life and also to discuss your business idea and how we might work together to make it come true?
Please let me know. I really miss our friendship, because that's what friends are for.
P.S. If you do reply to this message, be sure to include information about the business idea you mentioned. I'm experiencing a "cash flow situation," and making some money while working side-by-side with a friend sounds like the perfect solution!

Rob, let me start by letting you know I have long moved on from the past and quite frankly, I think it was more for my own sanity and general health.
I was hurt no doubt, but I think there's a lot more the future holds for us all only if we respectfully move on and give it another shot.
I decided to make this move with an old pal, but with a little bit of major changes, so I could naturally rekindle what we once shared,
so if you don't mind, I am asking that we make it happen, and after our success, we meet up somehow somewhere and someday and talk things over,
So do bear with me, as this took quite a while to decide and it is working thus far.
Again, Rob I will say it, "You hurt me real bad but it's in my past now and I forgive you but please respect me going forward, like I would you and Barbara and if you will, please DO NOT remind me how lucky I am to have Janie; she's an amazing being and I hope my plans work out perfectly, so we can all be together again someday."

Rob, I can tell you Clarksville is a healer in so many ways....
....I'll stop here and hope to hear from you again and please remember, I want us to do this in such a way it brings us back to a better place than we ever had.
Have a wonderful weekend ahead.
Les.

Wow, that is so cool of Les to be able to find a way to let the past be the past and the future be...more of the past, only not yet.
Unfortunately for me, a lot had happened in the months since that first email from Les...including Hurricane Ian....And toward the end of the 67-minute video I start piecing together clues that while I'm single-handedly trying to repair our badly damaged home, Barbara appears to be...well, engaging in some behaviors that begin to seem suspicious....
