RE: Thanks for your anticipated co operation (NIGERIAN 419 ADVANCE-FEE FRAUD SCAM FROM "EDWIN ANDERSON")

I figured this clown would get the hint that I was onto him when I sent a goofy reply. Of course he’s no clown, but a foolish and greedy scammer. We’ve been bickering back and forth, and finally I decided that not only was I tired of the game, but one of us (that would be me) should act our ages. Anyhoo—if you receive anything from “Edwin Anderson”, delete it and don’t reply. If you do, you’ll either find yourself being hounded or being charged fees.

Everything will work out fine. But my only worry is the security and safety of this fund once transferred to your account as we have not known or meet each other before.

Whoa! I don't think he was expecting this! He got so frustrated that he couldn't finish his thought! Here's his reaction:

Dear the black rose,u have shown me every

One good response deserves another, and I like getting the last word. Here's my reply:

So, what's your issue, "Mr. Anderson"??? I never said it was true--nothing in nigerian 419 Advance-Fee Fraud Scams are ever the truth! So, just you pull up your Big Boy Pants and deal with that little fact! And if you're wise, you won't contact me again!


The Black Rose

Had this been me, I would have blocked this e-mail from getting to my inbox (or spam box)! But, since I'm not a greedy scammer, this guy proves my point. He just had to keep fanning the flames! This was what he had to say next:

GREETINGS



WHAT DID YOU KNOW ABOUT FRAUD SCAMS,YOU ARE VERY STUPID AND ABOVE


YOU ARE A FOOL.I PUT TO YOU THAT YOU KNOWS NEXT TO NOTHING.


I HAVE SEEN YOUR STOCK IN TRADE,IS TO ABUSE INNOCENT PEOPLE.


YOU MUST BE WHAT YOU TERMED ME TO BE,WISE FOOL

I've made  him so mad that he's gone from being a fairly well spoken businessman to a babbling idiot who can't string two sentences together and have them make sense! So, okay, the pot's calling the kettle black, and I couldn't let this pass. This is what I told him:

My goodness, "Eddie"! For a grown, savvy, in-the-know businessman, you're having quite the childish tantrum! I'm not giving you what you want, so have your little tantrum. I raised 2 kids, (although they don't have tantrums at their ages--they're 30-something). I never made the Claim To Fame that I'm all-wise and all-knowing! Geez! I'm a skeptic, and I get scams like yours day after day.


So keep the tantrums coming, "Eddie". You amuse me. But you're still not getting my personal info, luv.

By now, "Eddie" is into full-blown mad and he's also starting to be afraid. And well he should be! He is also pleading with me.  This is what he says:

MY DEAR, I AM NOT A SCAM ER AND I WILL NEVER BE ONE,


I AM 50 YEARS OF AGE,SO HOW LONG DO I HAVE IN THIS SINFUL WORLD

I AM ONLY TRYING TO DO THIS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MY CHILDREN

SO IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE TO HANDLE MY PROPOSED TRANSACTION

THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO DISTURB YOUR SELF.

BUSINESS IS THEY SAY IS NOT FORCE SO LETS US STOP ABUSING OUR SELF'S


BUT I WILL ONLY ADVISE YOU TO HAVE A RETHINK OVER MY PROPOSAL.

I STRONGLY BELIEVED THAT THIS WILL BETTER MY STATUS AND YOURS AS WELL

IF ONLY WE WILL GET CO OPERATE AS A TEAM TO CHAMPION THIS TRANSACTION TO SUCCESS.

BEST OF REGARDS TO YOUR FAMILY

EDWIN ANDERSON

Tit for tat, I send this response:

Are you sure you aren't bipolar, "Eddie"? Hope you don't mind if I call you that, I will even if you do. Now we have the whining child, "I'm only trying to help you" to deal with. Oh, "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie"! Where did your mother and I go wrong with you, boy? Sigh!


So, you're trying to help your family, now, is it? Guess what? You might be able to pull this off with someone, but if you really have a family, do you suppose they will respect their daddy for lying and stealing? Is that how you want your kids to grow up, mister? See, I know how hard it is to raise kids. But as bad off as we were at times, I never once entertained a notion of stealing or lying to get what I needed or wanted. Both of my sons are fine young men, who work for a living, as I do. Now mind you, I wasn't the World's Best Mother, but I at least have their love and respect.

No, "Eddie", I won't "team up" with you. I work 5 part-time jobs and can barely keep the wolves from my door. But at least I have my self-respect, which is a lot more than what you have. In all seriousness, sir, I feel very sorry for you and your family. This is going to backfire on you one fine day. Count on it.

Sincerely,


The Black Rose

"Eddie's" true colors come through loud and clear. He's a lowlife scammer who's greedy to get money and will go to any length, including sounding like the ignoramous he is, to get at my money. Here's his response:

my FRIEND



THIS JOKE IS ENOUGH,BUSINESS IS NOT FORCE AND DON'T REFER ME AS Eddie

IF I REFUSE TO TAKE THIS STEP,MY BANK WILL CONFISCATE THE FUND FOR THEIR OWN USE

SO STOP USING ABORTIVE WORDS ON ME,I AM A RESPONSIBLE FATHER.

SO IS OVER ,I DON'T THINK I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN.



I THING WE CAN STOP HERE.

REGARDS

EDWIN ANDERSON

Well, I just can't let it drop here! So I replied again:

Suits me fine, "Eddie". Good riddance to another scammer. And your scam will soon have to be "aborted". You're just not bright enough, "Eddie".



So long and have a nice life.


The Black Rose

Seriously, I was hoping that this would put an end to this nonsense, but ding dong! Linda's wrong! He just couldn't leave it alone!

my dear i am not a scam and don't bother your good life.


hence you have been skeptical about this business.

is OK woman ,i came from a mother land and will use bad words on you any more.

i believed that one good day i will see you .

take care of your self

bye

Edwin Anderson


Of course, we will probably never meet. But "Eddie" is like a small child who didn't get his own way. So now he's gonna blow up mommy or daddy and have a real tantrum! Okay by me! This was my parting shot to him:

Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me, Eddie!


Well, this is where it ended. I just couldn't take anymore of the tantrum, so I blocked his e-mails. And, joking aside, I do take this very seriously. And I leave you with this warning: "Stay away from "Edwin Anderson". He's a thief, so delete any e-mails you get from him and DO NOT REPLY!
