HELP ME BE SPITEFUL (sarcasm needed)
OK... I know I haven't been around for a while. But I also know these boards contain some of the *****iest, most sarcasticly vile minds ever.
And it is those talented brains that I requre:
**
Help me continue to f*** with this low-life scum.
Normally, I dismiss these "Secret Nigerian Account" emails as the moronic scams they are... but ever since my dad died I have gotten 1 or 2 of these emails a week that refer to my dad having done "secret business transactions" with them -- and they need me to finish the transaction on his behalf, otherwise I risk losing the $14million (usually a number in this range) he has in this secret account.
What boils me about these is that these ****bags KNOW my dad died... and that is WHY they are writing to me.
It infuriates that people try to take advantage of the loss of a family member in this way.
So... this time... this guy went so far as to go to my dad's website (which is now a memorial website) and wrote to me responding to my message that personal friends could email to find out more info on his death.
I thought I was being sarcastically clever with my first response... but the guy is obviously as stupid as he thinks *I* am.
He doesn't get it.
So... I am continuing to f*** with him.
But... I am stuck on how to respond to this last message.
(Yes, I know I am stooping... and should let it go... and usually I would. But there is a place in Hell reserved for these goiter licking puss sucking rancid pieces of **** The ONLY way to retaliate against thes guys in any way is to, simply, waste their time.)
****
So... here is how it began:
MY INFORMATION ON MY DAD'S WEBSITE:
Subject: Dan Lang passed away June 12, 2007.
Dan Lang passed away June 12, 2007.
If you are a personal friend, co-worker, or other associate, please feel free to write to his daughter Maria, at [email address].
Please put his name in the heading so it will not be confused with spam-mail.
Thank you.
HIS ORIGINAL MESSAGE IN RESPONSE TO THIS:
I received your mail and the contents are duly noted. Most
importantly,your urgent action is highly needed as to send the
original copy of your revalidated check to your address to enable you cash the check.

Based on that I hereby inform you to chose one out
of the two options:

pick up your draft in person.
(B) Your draft can be sent to you through Courier
Company upon your request, and the courier cost/insurance plus the revalidation fee will be taking care by you the beneficiary of the draft.
You have the opportunity to choose one out of the options and get back to me for the original copy of your draft. Attached is a copy of your check for your perusal. Be inform that DHL, FedEx, UPS and postal mail in London does not dispatch banking documents like check, because of the laws on money laundering now in London, but we are going to use the services of Bankers Courier, which is an affiliated courier to
Banks in London, for the services of dispatching banking documents out of England, they will accept to deliver an open check like this on the condition that the check must have to be Insured.
Be informed that the insurance fees are refundable
upon the receipt of the check, the courier company

issued to you. Finally as you can see from the date on
the check there is no possibility of my taking out any
money from it since am not the issuer.
Awaiting your compliance.

MY FIRST RESPONSE TO HIM:
Subject: Re: Dear Maria/Dan Lang
Wow. My dad had a lot of money in a secret account?
That is great.
Why don't you take your fee, send me the check, and then I will pay you back.
You will have to trust me just as much as I am supposed to trust you.
(Your correspondence has been forwarded to the proper US/International Authorities)
[Edited note OH folks: There are no authorities I know of that deal with this... I was just trying to scare him.]
THEN HIS "I DON'T GET IT" RESPONSE:

Mr Leo Sean
*******
OK *****MEISTERS AND SCARCASTIC STUDS.
HELP ME.
There is nothing you can do to these guys other than waste their time -- because everything originates from International countries that don't have laws (or work with the US) regarding internet/banking scams like this.
MAKE ME PROUD!
.
you're causing yourself far more grief than they. I love sarcasm but in this case i'd really suggest you let it go. Or if you can't maybe try google to see how others have dealt with it, i know i've seen some really witty and effective ways of messing with these people but it's far beyond my abilities to do it right. I haven't checked his stuff in a long time but it seems to me to be exactly the kind of thing you might find on Doug Stanhope's site. He loves to f&ck with internet idiots.
Possible options:
On another forum, someone suggested I send him fake wire transfer info.
(I am pretty sure I couldn't accidently injure someone else's account, cause it all has to match up. I would just get Mr. Leo Sean all excited at thinking he was about to get $1,100...)
Also, I was thinking of saying "You said in your first email I could come by your London office. Coincidendally, I will be in London in two days on business. Please give me your street address and phone number so I can come by and meet with you."
Thoughts?
Hi Maria..
Hope all is well..
I know you want to give them a taste of their own medicine but unfortunately, it isnt even effecting them. They are in the process of fishing.. trying to scam you as well as 100's of others and are just waiting for a bite.
Contact Dateline.. seriously.. they did a whole show on this and tracked the person behind all of the emails down.. and confronted them. It was pretty cool and interesting.
To use the death of a family member as leverage is disgusting but dont carry it on any further. It isnt worth it.
Hugs,
beckie
I would help... but I'm now in AA trying to cure me of this type of stinkin' thinkin'
I'm sorry these emails have you so upset Maria.. I know so well how the thought of sweet revenge smells and tastes..
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference
If you can change it so that these emails are stopped and whomever is responsible is held accountable.. then I say take those measures.. otherwise I wish you serenity!!
I agree that this is horrible. My dad will be dead 15 yrs this December and my mom still gets credit card forms for him in the mail and phone calls wanting to speak to him about lowering his interest rates. It sux for her to still have to hear these things.
I also agree that you're causing yourself more problems and heartache by even acknowledging these folks. If you must email them back, tell them you've gotten their ip address, location of where they work out of, and the police have told you they're already investigating them and close to an arrest. Then you will never hear from them again.
I just want to hug you... How's the baby and the rest of your family? And how are you??? I mean, other than this thing.
