Scammer: I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THIS MONEY WASFORM MY LATE DAD
Scammer: he left it for me as my share of his wealth for i am his only child before he died
Mal: So you've inherited it. You own it. It's yours.
Scammer: the boxes are here with me and all i need is to get a metal cutting machine in order to unlock this boxes then start sending it to you bit by bit by westrn union and in due time all will be there with youor better youlove to be send by moneygram
Scammer: yes it is mine my late dad left it for me as my inheritance
Mal: So don't give me that boondoggle about not being the owner!
Scammer: yes i know i am the owner but cant handle this hugge money at this my age all alone in africa and an unknown land
Scammer: all we need is to get this done one afterthe other Dad we need to get a metla cutting machine to cut the box off then we can have an access to get the money to you
Mal: Hold it right there Bubba-Louie - what did you call me?
Scammer: I CALL YOU DAD
Mal: And I told you not to!
Scammer: because you are the only one that i have
Scammer: there was about 5 e mail that was given to me
Mal: Sorry, what?
Scammer: there was about 5 e mail that was given to me
Scammer: and when the refugee pastor prayed about it he said you are the right one thathave a good mind and that can easilyhelp me out of this
Mal: Sorry, but I don't take religion seriously. If you're saying that means I have to help you, like the Eskimo said to the icebox salesman, I ain't buying it.
Scammer: oh i do understand but i want youto know that hand helps the hand to make it cleaner
Scammer: i know that youmight have some doubt or have a surprise but i know when yourecceive this funds youwill be proud of me
Mal: Why?
Scammer: i am having this funds with me now and i am scared for it is not save to keep moving around with thi huge amount of money
Mal: So how is that going to make me proud of you?
Scammer: because i will start sending thisfunds to youby western union little bylittle immediately we got the boxes unlock
Mal: Again, how would that make me proud of you?
Scammer: i will do juat as i have said
Mal: Means nothing to me.
Scammer: then you will see that i am one out of a million
Scammer: you will receive this funds little by little as soon as we got this boxe unlocked

Scammer: please never think this way for i am scared because i hae nevrhandle this muhc money before n my life
Scammer: 10 million dollars
Scammer: and i dont know who is watching my fotstep for it this money is gone away from me
Scammer: it means i will have no hoe or future
Scammer: for i want you to receive this funds as soon as posible
Mal: You have more to look forward to than that little baby I saw on the news feeds. She'll die in the Kenyan camps before she has a chance to live. No-one gave her ten million!
Scammer: oh i heard that too when th pastor came in this morning to prayfor us
Mal: O RLY?
Scammer: at the camp but this those not surpose to happen to me rather do i have to lose this funds
Scammer: when we gotthe metal cutting machine i will just have this funds send to youby western union bit by bit ok
Mal: What, and there's a Western Union in the gorram refugee camp?
Scammer: there is a western union here in accra ghana i will just have my way out and get them send to you little by little ok
Scammer: but we need to get the box unlock buy buying a metal cutting machine so that there will be an acess to have the money being send to you as planed ok
Mal: Ain't going to happen, Bubba-Louie. That's a dumbass plan.
Scammer: and how do you think is the best already youknow i am a small boy
Orphan scammers almost invariably use the "I am a small/little boy" even when they claim to anything from late teens up to 29 years old.
Scammer: and i am scared ofhandling this money myself all alone you are the senior tell me how for i am scared having this hugge money with me in a foreing land

Scammer: cwell i will have to belive in what so ever you say
Scammer: for youare a groen up dad to me
Scammer: all we need is to get the metal cutting maching that cost 750 dollas
Mal: Sorry, what?
Scammer: the boxes has being locked for a long time
Scammer: and we need to get it unlock so that there will be a gain of an access to get the money send to you bit by bit
Scammer: and the machine cost just 750 dolars because we need toget ours so that it can be done privtelly for i cant car a box worth od 10million to a purblic place in ordeer to get it locked
Mal: You ain't sending me anything bit by bit. That is the dumbass idea.
Scammer: ok tell me how you want it to be send to youplease
Scammer: for i am just scared of how things is going on here it is dark and gets scarering too
Mal: Holy shit on a shingle, grow a backbone!
Scammer: no dad i am so scared handling this money myselfa lont
Scammer: i am a boy of just22years i cant handle this please assitme in order to secure my future and my late fathers wealth too
Mal: You give me that boy of 22 years bullshit again and I'm out of here. You got that?
Scammer: ok i hear that please dont be upset ok
Scammer: just dont want this money to be with me for much night because here is too dangerous and so risk
Mal: What's the risk? Sounds like the box is totally secure!
Scammer: sir the box is no were to be secured for i have to keep carying it all about if i should live it in the refugee camp they might got it played with
Mal: Played with? From what you said before it's made of something like layered ceramet - well beyond any hudloom with a crowbar.
Trivia note; “layered ceramet” is the kind of armour used on modern main battle tanks such as the Abrams and the Challenger.
Scammer: YES IT IS A strong metal
Scammer: but once it is being know by purblic that such amount of money is inside they can go to anylenght in order to get it unlocked
Scammer: this makes me scared so much
Mal: Send me a picture. In fact I need a picture of you and the box.
Scammer: ok dad i willl do that

Scammer: That wasnt my fault
Mal: O RLY? How so?

Scammer: because you are the only one that i have
Scammer: there was about 5 e mail that was given to me
Mal: Sorry, what?
Scammer: there was about 5 e mail that was given to me
Scammer: and when the refugee pastor prayed about it he said you are the right one thathave a good mind and that can easilyhelp me out of this
Mal: Sorry, but I don't take religion seriously. If you're saying that means I have to help you, like the Eskimo said to the icebox salesman, I ain't buying it.
Scammer: oh i do understand but i want youto know that hand helps the hand to make it cleaner

Mal: Ain't going to happen, Bubba-Louie. That's a dumbass plan.
Scammer: and how do you think is the best already youknow i am a small boy
Orphan scammers almost invariably use the "I am a small/little boy" even when they claim to anything from late teens up to 29 years old.
Scammer: and i am scared ofhandling this money myself all alone you are the senior tell me how for i am scared having this hugge money with me in a foreing land

Mal: Sorry, what?
Scammer: the boxes has being locked for a long time
Scammer: and we need to get it unlock so that there will be a gain of an access to get the money send to you bit by bit
Scammer: and the machine cost just 750 dolars because we need toget ours so that it can be done privtelly for i cant car a box worth od 10million to a purblic place in ordeer to get it locked
Mal: You ain't sending me anything bit by bit. That is the dumbass idea.
Scammer: ok tell me how you want it to be send to youplease
Scammer: for i am just scared of how things is going on here it is dark and gets scarering too
Mal: Holy shit on a shingle, grow a backbone!
Scammer: no dad i am so scared handling this money myselfa lont
Scammer: i am a boy of just22years i cant handle this please assitme in order to secure my future and my late fathers wealth too

Scammer: ok i hear that please dont be upset ok
Scammer: just dont want this money to be with me for much night because here is too dangerous and so risk
Mal: What's the risk? Sounds like the box is totally secure!
Scammer: sir the box is no were to be secured for i have to keep carying it all about if i should live it in the refugee camp they might got it played with
Mal: Played with? From what you said before it's made of something like layered ceramet - well beyond any hudloom with a crowbar.
Trivia note; “layered ceramet” is the kind of armour used on modern main battle tanks such as the Abrams and the Challenger.
Scammer: YES IT IS A strong metal
Scammer: but once it is being know by purblic that such amount of money is inside they can go to anylenght in order to get it unlocked
Scammer: this makes me scared so much
Mal: Send me a picture. In fact I need a picture of you and the box.
