Tag-Teaming the Scammer

I had a bit of a good time with this particular scammer. Such a good time, in fact, that I allowed a friend of mine to chat with this guy as well. He was jealous that all the scammers contacted me and never him. I have his post with this guy/girl/whatever included as well – he’s good at it – I wish more scammers would contact him.

On the ID I used for this chat, I have the name “Eggsie Klevinger” in my profile. The chat took place on Dec 3, 2007.

[12:40] barristeraireen: Hell, Eggsie??
[12:40] *** Auto-response sent to barristeraireen: I am currently away from the computer.
[12:59] Me: hell?
[13:00] barristeraireen: you are Eggsie Klevinger ???
[13:00] barristeraireen: i am mrs aireen
[13:01] barristeraireen: i got your email id direct from yahoo memeber company i was told to contact you
[13:01] barristeraireen: *BUZZ*
[13:03] Me: oh, wonderful. Yes, This is indeed Eggsie Klevinger. How may I help you?
[13:04] barristeraireen: Good
[13:04] barristeraireen: *Me*@yahoo.com
[13:04] barristeraireen: correct for more detail
[13:04] barristeraireen: we have good news for you
[13:04] Me: Good news? That’s great. I could use some good news.
[13:05] Me: What is it?
[13:05] barristeraireen: Yep
[13:05] barristeraireen: this is your email address
[13:06] Me: well, of course. You must have some really great online investigators working for you as you have been correct on all counts so far.
[13:06] barristeraireen: *BUZZ*
[13:06] barristeraireen: your email address pls
[13:06] Me: you already told me what it is and I told you are are correct.
[13:07] Me: I should warn you, I am a homicidal maniac and whever someone hits that BUZZ thing, I get the urge to murder people.
[13:07] barristeraireen: Ok
[13:07] Me: so please don’t use that any more as there is a nurse nearby who’s just askin’ for a killing if you know what I mean.
[13:07] barristeraireen: check your email box
[13:07] barristeraireen: right now and get back to me
[13:07] Me: you are a bit bossy.
[13:08] Me: I have received no email.
[13:08] Me: maybe it takes a while to get here from Nigeria, yes?
[13:08] barristeraireen: try and check
[13:09] Me: I have checked again and again I have found no email from you.
[13:10] Me: this is most unfortunate.
[13:11] Me: Perhaps I should have my financial benefactor contact you later on today. He is quite wealthy and handles all my finances for me, and for a small sexual fee, provides me with financial stability for myself and my growing family.
[13:11] barristeraireen: i c
[13:12] barristeraireen: but did you received my email right nw
[13:12] Me: no, I have recieved no emails. ßactually, not true
[13:12] barristeraireen: ok
[13:12] barristeraireen: wanna email it right here for you
[13:12] Me: that would be fine
[13:12] barristeraireen: There is an account that has remained dormant for some years now with Diamond Bank Plc valued the sum of $250.000.00 which I am the account manager. The account holder died on the 25th of July 2000 with his wife and their only two Children in an automobile accident.
[13:13] barristeraireen: I am writing you, so that we can work together to remit the money to you as the next of kin since you have the same last name with him before they get declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge Deposit was lodged. This money belongs to a foreigner and has to be claim by a foreigner; no one will ever come forward to claim it.
[13:13] barristeraireen: Our Bank has issued me a notice as the account Manager to the Deceased to provide his Next of Kin or have the fund declared as an UNCLAIMED FUND within the Next 15 official working days.
[13:13] barristeraireen: All I need is a trustworthy, faithful and honest partner to execute this transaction, since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5 years now that I have been searching. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are a foreigner like him so that the proceeds of this Bank Account can be paid out in your favor
[13:13] barristeraireen: There is no risk involved and I guarantee this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will not breach the law by both parties; it is simple process that will take a very short while to process. I have all the necessary legal documents that will be used to back up any claim we are going to make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
[13:14] Me: Ooh, the infamous Klevinger Family Fortune!!! Yes, I would be quite happy to help you out, particularly since there is no risk to me!
[13:14] Me: However, as I reside in a mental institution, I feel it would be in everyone’s best interest if my financial benefactor handles this transaction for me.
[13:15] barristeraireen: did you read my message right npw
[13:15] Me: Will you be in the office this evening, that is to say in approximately 5 hours (as I’m sure you are in a completely different time zone)
[13:15] *** barristeraireen has added you to their contact list. You may choose to accept or deny this action. You may also add this user to your contact list or ignore this user.
[13:16] barristeraireen: *BUZZ*
[13:16] Me: The hospital facility computers do not allow me to add friends to my yahoo list as it is against the orders of my psychiatrist. May I simply refer your screen name to my benefactor?
[13:16] barristeraireen: You will keep 50% of the total fund on final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be for me. Your share stays with you while the rest shall be for me for investment purposes in your country.
[13:16] Me: Oh, you buzzed. Hang on, gotta go murder someone.
[13:16] barristeraireen: k
[13:16] barristeraireen: am sorry for that
[13:16] barristeraireen: i will not buzz you again
[13:17] Me: ah, sweet blood that stains my fingers, how I do love thy taste!
[13:17] Me: anyway, I would love to do business wiht you but I’m afraid I must refer you to my benefactor. You will like him, he’s quite gullible as am I.
[13:17] Me: He is the heir o the *FRED* Industries fortune.
[13:17] barristeraireen: good
[13:18] Me: will you be in your office in 5 or 6 hours so that he might contact you?
[13:18] barristeraireen: yep
[13:18] barristeraireen: i will here ok
[13:18] Me: excellent.
[13:18] Me: I will tell him to mention my name to you when he contacts you.
[13:18] barristeraireen: good
[13:18] Me: they are coming after me now for my electric shock therapy.
[13:19] barristeraireen: good
[13:19] Me: I will pass the message on to him.
[13:19] barristeraireen: good
[13:19] barristeraireen: did you received my email right now
[13:19] barristeraireen: to enable him to email me

Here I just went invisible like they orderlies just snatched me away.

Later on, I gave this scammer my friend’s yahoo id. Here is my remaining portion of the chat followed by “Fred’s” chat.

[22:09] barristeraireen: hwllo
[22:09] barristeraireen: hwllo
[22:09] Me: ah, yes. hello. Please hold.

[22:33] Me: no! he said the sex would cover that!
[22:34] barristeraireen: are you ok
[22:34] Me: why do you ask?
[22:35] barristeraireen: the way both of you sound like
[22:35] Me: I don’t understand.
[22:36] Me: I, personally, am insane. that can’t be helped. You kill three people and they turn your brains to mush with electrodes and lobotomies. But he is very wealthy and takes care of me.
[22:36] barristeraireen: can understand what you and him trying to say
[22:38] barristeraireen: k
