PAYMENT CONFIRMATION (Nigerian 419 advance-fee fraud scam, Courtesy of "KATHLEEN BATEY & WILIFRED ADAMS" pretending to be "DR. ALICE BROWN")

Here’s yet another tired and well-worn Nigerian 419 advance-fee fraud scam. Of course, the idiot/s didn’t figure out that the Central Bank of Nigeria would not use common e-mail addresses, and this scam has already made the rounds so many times that most of us could quote it, verbatim in the dark! Anyhoo—I decided to have a little fun with this scamming duo, treating them as if they were errant children. I’ve included the return e-mail along with my reply to these lowlifes. Hope you enjoy it!

Dear "Dr. Alice Brown"/ Kathleen Batey/Wilifred Adams:

Thank you for this e-mail. It was very interesting. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I've received this before, so it is nothing new. However, I do have a couple of questions for you, and a word of advice.
First, do you understand that you have sent what is known as a Nigerian 419 advance-fee fraud scam, and this is an international crime and that you could go to jail?




Secondly, do your parents know what you are doing with your spare time on the computer? You children should be ashamed of yourselves. You parents could go to jail!

I "advice" you to go back to playing with your blocks instead of sending scam e-mails to me or "undisclosed recipients". This particular scam has been around for ages!Please run along now, children, and do not bother me again.





Sincerely,
One of Your Intended Scam Victims
