"Gloria" is at it again... please see post 20.
Almost forgot her email address: ruth_milan02@yahoo.com
That could run into some serious loot. Almost feel like sending the poor girl a few bucks myself...
What did she send you? Same email? Any pics?
I just read this.
ROFLMAO!
It's cool to begin with that you managed to con the con artist like this, but you went above and beyond hilarity by convincing her that you were in fact Al Bundy, one of the funniest characters in TV history. That she actually fell for it is even more funny! The only way that could have been better would be if, when you were writing as Al, you had mentioned something about Peg or the kids.
Lowbridge Scambaiting The 419 Email Scammers (FRANKLIN DUBE)
More at post number one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1197128/posts?page=1#1
I actually did that to one scambait that I never posted (couldnt get a decent photo from the guy, but strung him along for quite awhile, even getting him to fly to another country to a bank to withdrawl his funds that I never deposited, leaving him stranded). I played Al...Told him I was flying to Vegas with my good friend and next door neighbor Steve Rhoades. Offered to make a few bets for him. Came back a couple weeks later. Told him that his numbers won, and asked where to send him his winnings. He sent me an address. Then he got another email from the Bundy family lawyer, Perry Mason, who unfortunately gave him the sad news that Al Bundy had died of a heart attack, but had left him a sizeable sum in his will. Which unfortunately, Al's wife, Peggy was contesting. Causing a big ruckus in court. Etc. I forget how the whole thing went, but it wasnt to my satisfaction..,..
Thanks for posting this one again -- its Always good for a laugh (one of the advantages of having a bad memory -- I can re-read the same joke and still enjoy it). I liked your Marcus Welby version.
Damn, it's been a while. good stuff, lowbridge!
I like to think its VERY cold :-)
IIRC, he had a co-conspirator to whom he had to get to wire him some money so that he could get back home. (I also had the foresight to notify the bank of when the arrival of this scammer will take place in their bank and what name he would be using. The scammer later quite vaguely mentioned something about trouble at the bank, but refused to go into detail with me about it) That's the point of this whole thing. Make these scammers waste their time and money. Because while they're messing around with me, thats less time and money they have to try scamming someone else. :-)
Hilarious!
Just saw this for the first time. You should have my handle. The dedication and commitment to this ruse is admirable.
First time for me as well. Pure comedic gold, thanks lowbridge for sharing these
Bump to one of the all time classic threads.
Just dang that is outstanding, got to be the craziest thread ever.
You are one patient dude...
