Final installment of the scam.

Well Mr K sent a few emails asking for payment to his agent to be mage by 10 on Monday, which was when the fictious cheque he'd sent should have cleared. So my wife responded to him that she had in fact sent him the £3500, although convieniently forgetting the Western Union reference number he wanted.

Several emails were exchanged with Mr K, as he wanted various details of the Western Union transfer, commission paid, amount sent, by whom sent etc, as he must have been in or nearby a Western Union branch desperately waiting for the money to arrive, before his dodgy cheque bounced, as although it might have cleared in the UK bank, it would still not have been cleared in the foreign bank, which is how the fraud works.


Anyway the final email from him asked when his agent could collect the car (yeh right)

So my wife sent him the following, plus these pictures

This is where the car is kept (our local)




This man will meet you



He will ask you to put these on




She never heard back from him after this

That is just class! To get him in a western union place probably nervous as hell waiting around and then send him that email is priceless.

Good job!

You didn't read my earlier post, it wasn't Mr Umbongo, but Mr Knickersoffski from Kiev

She had also printed off a dumy Western Union slip, but pretended that she was at work and couldn't scan it in an send it, just to prolong his agony
