Subject : Urgent Response Needed!!!

Dearest Neil Orear

I used this means of communications because of time Shortage, so please kindly bear with me.  However, permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you.

I am GLORIA GIUM the only child of late Mr and Mrs VINCENT GIUM, My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Cost before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal.

When my mother died on the 21St October 1985, my father took me so special because I am motherless. Before the death of my father on 29 Th June 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of US$ 6,200,000 ( SIX million TWO hundred thousand, United states Dollars) left in a suspens account in a local bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management). I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.

(1To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred to)

(2To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am a girl of 23 years)

(3To make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the money has been transferred. Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort / input after the successful transfer of this fund to your norminated account in overseas.

Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within seven (7) days you signify interest to assist me. I will appreciate your early respones. Anticiapting to hear from you soon.

BEST REGARD

GLORIA.V.GIUM.

Hi Gloria,

My name is not Neil. It's Al Bundy. But I can still help you out. 15 percent of this money is quite generous and as a result, I am more than happy to assist you. Yes, I can provide you with an account to put the money in, yes, I can be the guardian, and yes, I can make the arrangements for you to come over to this country. Are you willing to stay with me? I have a BIG house. A 6 bedroom, 5 1/2 bathroom house on 67 acres of land (I own a chain of shoe stores which is why I can afford this). My neighbor and friend is a banker, so he can help me with the account thing. Anything you need from me?

Please get back to me.

Thanks,

Al

Wow Gloria!

You sure are one good looking girl! Whenever you come over to my country (I'll pay for the fare), you can stay at my place You can have the bedroom next to mine. It has a connecting door.

Here is my phone number: XXX-XXX-XXXX

If I am not able to answer, you can leave a message (no longer than two minutes).

As a businessman, I can give you great advice. Yes, real estate management is a great idea for an investment. I think that's a GREAT idea. You obviously already have a good head for investments.

As for a good school, that is kind of hard to decide. There are lots of good schools. I'll look around as you ask.

You ask for a photo of mine. I have a photo of myself, but it's in an advertisement for one of my many shoe stores that I own. Attached is that advertisement. That's me, on the lower left, pointing my finger. The guy in the yellow shirt is a guy we hired to pose for that photo. How do I look?

Now, you ask me what you can do for me in your next email. I want to ask you to do something for me. Please understand, that I ask this for more security reasons. I mean, we just met over email, so I'd like for you to follow these instructions to the letter. Ok? Then I can feel more secure in our upcoming transactions.

I'd like for you to send me another photo of yourself but posed differently from the one you already sent.

Here's what I want you to do. Now, you see the advertisement I sent you? You see the guy in the yellow shirt wearing a pair of pants on his head and holding a shoe to his ear as if he were using it as a phone? I'd like for you tp replicate that pose in a photograph. Yes, I'm serious. You see, this will tell me that you are who you say you are, and not just any photo.

I would like for you to have a photo taken of yourself while wearing a pair of pants on your head (No, you dont wear glasses for this photo), and holding a shoe to your ear as if it were a phone, PLUS in your other hand, I want you to hold up a sign that says the following code words:

____________

FREEPERSRULE

DUERSDROOL

IMADUER

___________

These code words are known only to me (they are important to my shoe business), which is why I ask for you to hold up those word on the sign. Those code words on the sign must be in that exact order as I have shown you above.

Make sure the lettering on the sign is big and clear. I dont want to get a picture with a sign that I cant read.

Again, yes I'm serious in my request. I'm very proud of my advertisement. I thought it up myself, and I realized that this is a good way for you to prove to me that you are who you are. This is for more security on my part.

Please dear, do not fail me in my request.

Oh, and not to worry, as you have asked, I will keep all of this completely confidential. I completely understand that request of yours. No one will know of any of this except you and me. I promise sweetheart. Now please, have that new photo taken as I have asked.

Thanks so much,

Al

Subject: PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR MIND

Dearest Al Bundy,

Thanks for all that you have said,i think you will be someone that i can rely on.First,you ask me to take a pose for your shoe business right,and you say you will keep my request as i have told you fine.

But i want to let you know that what you have just said or requested does not have any thing to do with our transaction,for now i am staying in a local hotel and i have just sent you two diffrent pose of my photo i think that is enouhg for you to belive me.

Anyway i am the one that is to say will not belive you becuase you just sent a photo of your advate to me of which is not too good.

Deraest Mr.Al Bundy,i hope you will try and understand me to what i have just said.Please take note that i will be witing for you to tell me if the number of phone you gave to me and let me know the country code i will also want to know your home address if you may think any thing this is my future and i will never play with it ok sir.

For now i will like you to get me your banking informations for me to forward them to the bank and for them to tell me what next to do please i am keeping my self for security reasons and i want you to understand what i am saying my late father brothers are all after me and they to get the documents away from my position please i really want to know your mind this is not play time or advate time by dearest one.

I await your rapid response.

GLORIA GIUM.

__________________________________

My dearest Gloria,

You are incorrect. I am not asking for you to take a pose for my shoe business. The pose I asked you to take, is for my own personal reasons. For MY security. I will not use your pose for my business under any circumstances.

The country code is this:

009 + 1* + City Code + The Number

My address is 9764 Jeopardy Lane, Chicago, Illinois

Now, onto the rest of my letter. You are diappointing me. Yes, you sent me a couple of pictures of you. But you see, anyone can take a picture of someone else, and claim it is them when it is not. That's the reson for the specific, special pose I asked of you. It will show to me that you are who you say.

I apologize for the bad avertisement photo, but at least that proves to you that I am whom I say I am. It's a special photo advertisement that isnt available anywhere to anyone but me and my business because I own the copyrights to it all.

I'm sorry Gloria, but if you cannot give me your photo in the specific pose, with the sign I asked for, then I will have to find some other poor unfortunate girl to sponsor in this manner. I realize your life is in danger and I really want to help you, but if you do not gain my trust in this matter with that photo, then I think you should find some other wealthy businessman to help you out.

You know, you ask alot from me. You send me a photo, and then ask for one in return. I send one back to you, and simply ask for another photo in return. A special one made just for me for MY security. You turn down my request, insisting that the photo you have sent is good enough, then you turn around and demand my banking information. This is not good Gloria. I don't give my banking information away to just anyone who demands it.

You want my banking information? You want my financial help? I will be more than happy to give all of that to you, and more, if you just follow my instructions to you from the previous email about the new photo I wanted from you. This is not too much to ask Gloria.

Again here are my instructions from my previous email:

##################

 

Here's what I want you to do. Now, you see the advertisement I sent you? You see the guy in the yellow shirt wearing a pair of pants on his head and holding a shoe to his ear as if he were using it as a phone? I'd like for you tp replicate that pose in a photograph. Yes, I'm serious. You see, this will tell me that you are who you say you are, and not just any photo.<p>

I would like for you to have a photo taken of yourself while wearing a pair of pants on your head (No, you dont wear glasses for this photo), and holding a shoe to your ear as if it were a phone, PLUS in your other hand, I want you to hold up a sign that says the following code words:

____________

 

FREEPERSRULE

DUERSDROOL

IMADUER

___________

These code words are known only to me (they are important to my shoe business), which is why I ask for you to hold up those word on the sign. Those code words on the sign must be in that exact order as I have shown you above.

Make sure the lettering on the sign is big and clear. I dont want to get a picture with a sign that I cant read.<p>

Again, yes I'm serious in my request.

#########################

I'll tell you what Gloria, you give me that photo, and I'l do whatever you say if the photo is done to my satisfaction. I'll give you my banking information. I'll do whatever it takes to help you in your time of need. I'll protect you from your late Father's brothers, I'll send you financial help, I'll send you gifts, but first you must come through with that photo I asked for, for my security and for your sake as well.

In your next email to me I expect that photo.

Thanks,

Al Bundy

(3 days later I get a response)

 

Dearest Al Bundy,

Ok i have thought about the picture that you said i should snap for you for your security reasons,and i saw that is a very good idea.I know,but this what i want to let you know now,please be with me as you have promised.

As i told you before my late father's brothers are after me and they want to get all that my father have left for me becuase of jealousy and greed.Please let us be as from work with this code words of your's that you have gave to me,

FREEPERSRULE

DUERSDROOL

IMADUER.

Before i will write to you any mail of mine,i must put this code in trust for the both side on security. <p>

the picture you asked for will be sent to you any time from tomrrow becuase they gave me some days to get the film out for me so i have to wait.

Thanks and in God we trust.

Your's faithfully,

Gloria Gium

 

_________________-

 

Thank you Gloria,

Yes, if you give me this photograph as I have instructed, I will be with you as I have promised.

Here, again, are my instructions for the photograph:

I would like for you to have a photo taken of yourself while wearing a pair of pants on your head (No, you dont wear glasses for this photo), and holding a shoe to your ear as if it were a phone, PLUS in your other hand, I want you to hold up a sign that says the following code words:

____________

 

FREEPERSRULE

DUERSDROOL

IMADUER

___________

So, you see, not only must you be hoding the sign with the code words on them, but you also must hold a shoe to your ear as if it were a phone, and you must be wearing a pair of pants on your head.

You do this for me, and I will be yours, I will be with you as I have promised.

Thanks so much Gloria,

Yours,

Al Bundy

please try and contact him as soon as possible in order to make things fast ,due to the political unbalanced situation of this country.

pls call me by my phone 225 07 75 68 92.

Regards

Gloria .G

 

_____________________________________

 

Helo Gloria,

Yes, I wil be contacting the Attorney soon. By the way, I forgot to tell you something. I am partially deaf which makes it hard for me to make and recieve phone calls. In either case, I also do not trust doing business over the phone because the phones might be bugged by authorities and I do not want to be taped by the authorities over at your country. It is like you said, the political situation over there is quite bad. I do not want your government to know what is going on here. Email contact is best.

Do not worry. I am NOT using the picture for advertisement as I promised. I just wanted to see it once, and now I am going to delete and destroy it so that no one will see it. (I do have one complaint about the photo. The middle part "DUERSDROOL" is kind of obscured. It's almost unreadable. Would it be possible for you to take another photo with the same sign, (the same pose with the shoe and the pants), so that the whole sign can be seen?

Thanks,

Will be contacting the lawyer now.

Yours,

Al Bundy

____________________________

 

Dear Barrister ISAH, Esq,

$2500.00 is no problem, but I have a question.

You say send payment to: ODOI RICHARD

But you dont tell me where to send this payment. When I go to Western Union, and fill out the the form, it will ask me to WHERE I want to send it.

Where do I send it? To which Western Union office?

Here are my bank particulars to where you can transfer the money into my account:

Kyoto Bank,

Chicago, Illinois

The account number is: 734865749239-82

 

My fax number is this:

XXX-XXX-XXXX

009 + 1* + City Code + The Number

I'll head down to the bank this afternoon if I can get there before it closes. If not, I'll have to wait untill tommorow to withdraw the money.

How is Gloria? Is she ok? I miss her something terrible. I'm quite worried about her as you can tell.

Thanks,

Al Bundy

Dear Sir,

Reference to your mail,Excuse me pls the $2500 should be send to Abidjan Cote d' ivoire west Africa.in the name of Odoi Richard.

i received a call lastnight from your local partner miss Gloria admitted at the hospital.

i May likely be there this morning, You see, she think too much i told her that everything will be okay soon,You should advice her to stop overthinking for her safety this country is not suitable most of investors here is moving their properties out the country, that is why she 's worried but i adviced her one time that i will do all my possible best to protect her intrest untill her money is transfer out of the country.i really don't know why she is worried again.

Here i stop untill i hear from you.

Barrister ISAH Esq.

Hi Barrister Isah,

That is horrible news that she has had to go to the hospital. I will be praying for her quick recovery.

I can't say that I blame Gloria for worrying. The way things sometimes go, maybe it's better that she worries because that will keep her alert and on her toes.

By the way, I have sent the 2500 and it can be picked up at the Western Union office.

I believe the control number is: 7325963612

Thanks,

Al Bundy

Dear Mr. Boondy,

We have received your payment of $2500.00. Thank you! We will prepare all the

necessary documents for your perusal and signature. Now all we need is an

additional $12,000.00 for attorney remittance fees.

Please send that sum to:

Arnold Jackson Ububuka

Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire WEST AFRICA

Sincerely,

Barrister Richard Odoi, Esq.

 

______________________________

 

I did have trouble at the Western Union office. There was a brand new clerk there. A young girl who was new at this job. I thin she was a teenager or in her early twenties. Apparently she didn't know what she was doing. I demanded to see the manager, or whoever was in charge, but that guy was away on his lunch break. So I had to work with this girl. We finally got the payment sent.

Not to worry. $12,000.00 is a perfectly reasonable sum for attorney remittance fees. In fact, here in the United States, those kind of fees usually cost somewhere around $30,000. But I guess that the cost of living is higher here than in Africa. Please inform your assistant, Mr. Arnold Jackson Ububuka, that I will be sending him this remittance feee shortly. (I need time to go back to the bank, withdraw that amount, get back to the Western Union office, etc.)

About the test code question, you didn't ask for it, and I neglected to give it to you. The test question is: "What is Bundy?" The answer is: "Stinkfoot"

Thanks so much for your help in this matter,

Al Bundy

Dearest Gloria,

It's been quite a while since I've heard from you, my darling. I have been quite busy with the lawyers and payments, and all that jazz. They are quite the busy little beavers, but at least it will bring us together. I understand that you were admitted to the hospital. What for? When will you get out?

Sincerely yours,

Hello Gloria,

So sorry to hear of the malaria. But I'm glad it wasn't something more serious.

I SENT the lawyer the money. I do not know what he is talking about. Not only did I send it, but I also have an emailed confirmation from one of his assistants that he has received it.

Here is the email:

Gloria, darling, it's not a matter of the money, but I feel that your lawyers are not very competent. I send payment, they receive it, I get an email thanking me for the payment, and then they complain that I didn't send it. Don't they ever communicate with their assistants? No one seems to know what the other one is doing in that law firm. I wouldn't worry about the lawyers. Sooner or later they should be getting in touch with their assistant, Mr. Ububuka, and everything will be straightened out.

"All that Jazz" is just a saying. It means something like "and so on and so forth"

By the way, don't worry about the additional $12,000.00 requested by Mr. Ububuka. I will be gladly sending that additional payment to him soon. Please inform the lawyers of this.

I am trying to find the receipt for the previous payment, but I misplaced it somewhere in the house. Do not worry. I will look for it, and send it to you in another email. Hopefully tonight or tommorow.

Please do not panic, my Dear. Everything is under control.

I must go out now. I must do inventory at the warehouse.

Much love,

Al Bundy

Attachment (she sends me a picture of trunks filled with money. The same exact picture other scammers have been sending their victims for years):

Dearest Al Bundy,

I can see that you are only trying to fool me,but i will still give you one more chance.Do you know why?it's becuase i have already told you every thing that i no about my late father,but never theless,God will still take controll of every thing that is happening i know you want me dead if you can act like this after they told that i am in the hospital ill you still do not want to help me but to destroy me.fine the attorney is not a good man becuase i do not want to trust any body but i told you to send me the payment slip of the $2,500 you sent,but only to tell me that you have missplaced it,why AL?.

Dear Gloria,

I am VERY angry. I do not like being accused of trying to fool you. I have committed alot of effort and money into trying to help you, and you accuse me of trying to fool you. I do not see why I would do that. Do not forget Gloria, I have alot of time and money invested into this deal too.

Yes, I misplaced the payment receipt. Is that such a crime? Am I the first person in the world to have misplaced something? I have it somewhere in the house, and once I find it, I will send it to you. Just give me up to a couple more days to find it, ok?

I want to know who the hell this Ububuka person is. Where did he come from, what is your connection is with him? I have emailed him, but I got no response yet. I send payment, he tells me that he received it, asks for 12 thousand dollars more, and neither you or the lawyer gives me an explanation. Instead, you come down on MY head, accusing me of trying to fool you. And on top of that, you ask for an additional 500 dollars. I cannot be sending more money untill I get some answers about the missing 2500.

This is not how to do business Gloria. Though, I am glad that you sent me the photograph of the money. Had you not done that, I would have accused your lawyers of trying to scam me out of my share of this deal. It helps to serve as a reminder that the money exists.

Please tell the lawyer to hold on. I will find the receipt and send it to you within the next couple of days hopefully, and I am taking your advice about seeing a lawyer to go down there and help you out (and help me out too).

Gloria, dear, I also have some very bad personal news about myself. About my health. I saw a Doctor, a cancer specialist, yesterday. And he informed me that I have a tumor in my neck that is cancerous. Now, there is a 50/50 chance that I may pull through this. I will be taking radiation treatments for it. And if that succeeds, I will live. But if the treatments are not successful, I will have only about 3-6 months to live. Can you imagine being told news like that? I was stunned. I am very frightened, and very scared. So, I got more things on my mind than just money matters.

I will need your prayers and moral support to help me get through this terrible period.

Again, please give me a couple of days to find the receipt. I will also start shopping around for an Attorney.

Thanks so much

Al

Al Bundy,

Thanks and you shall pay for all this that you have done to me.i contacted the lawyer and he told me that you did not send to him any money that you are a lier so please try and make sure you do not use my photo for any advatisment,i know that is your game you wanted to play with me you are fool.thanks very much and rest in peace.

You are a cheat.

go away i amvery sorry for you i think you have to die now you like to cheat people you must pay for it back

Is that any way to talk to me Gloria? I resent the payment. Attached is the western union form.

Take it, and check with Western Union.

By the way, the Western Union person asked me if I wanted "restricted delivery", but you didn't tell me whether you did, so I just got it. The Western Union person said it means you can only pick up the money at a Western Union location. You must go directly to the western union counter, aparently something to do with high theft rates. I thought that was probably a good idea to make sure that the lawyer gets it and gets it to you.

Thanks,

Al Bundy

Al Bundy ,

How could you be joint head together ,you did'nt sent any money very sure,the control numbers was not fund from the computer,Even if someone else pick the money as you said there would have being a trace where the money was collected in which western union office branch from the computer,

You would have asked me to assist you by providing the documents from my own means it would have been better than showning your self as betrayer of confidence

well if you don't trust me come out openly and i promised to suprise you by geting this money into your account without your own expences

Thanks

Barrister isah

Dear Barrister,

No there would NOT be a trace of it on the computer because the Western Union person asked me if I wanted "restricted delivery", but you didn't tell me whether you did, so I just got it. The Western Union person said it means you can only pick up the money at a specified location. Pus, the transaction won't be trackable online (after all, it is a secret transaction we are dealing in here) and as a result, the transaction wont be posted online. I thought that was probably a good idea to make sure that Mr Odoi gets it and gets it to you.

And I do not recall you making ANY promise to get the money to me without my own expense. But if your offer on that is still open, I'd like to take you up on that. Because I'd like to come out there personally to close this deal, and have a nice little vacation. Can you cover my expenses still?

Thanks,

Al Bundy

Mr.Al Bundy,

I think that all this is enough for me and you,may be you are doing what i call stupidness,becuase if you have sent this money they would have got it received.But nothing shows on the western union counter,you said that the money must be received from a western union location.

Before you sent to the attorney a letter that they have received the money and they told you to pay in additional $ twelve thousand again,why are you just acting like this,why not send the money to them,they told them that the money has been restricted by you over there,and you lied that someone took the money here that is Mr.ububuka the lawyers assistance.

So please tell me what you want me to do now ok.I am in danger now please alert me on how to do that's why i got to neaves by talking to you on that manner.Please help me.The hotels are now giving me troubles for there rents and other bills i want to pay they all if this money is in your account may be i would have been in the usa by now.reply me now.

Gloria.

At this juncture,your advised not to send any money for any remittace fee to any body.Your file has'nt sumit to the bank as the beneficary due to the money to obtain your document reqested by the bank in order to open an account in your name where the money should be transfered into ,As soon as it takes off from the suspense coded account.for ownward transfer to your oversea destination account.

you can as well verify from the western union office where this money was sent from wether the control numbers given to you is correct. if it is correct they should release it to be collected from any western union office in the city here.

Allah Bless

Subject : CHEACK ALL THIS OUT THAT YOU HAVE DONE.

Dear Al Bundy,

I called the lawyer again and he still told me that he has gone to all the western union branch in abidjan and there's no money in the same control number.

He gave me the mail of the letter you show to him for the thanking you for the payment you made,how come,who gave you this mail address ububuka@XXXXXXXX.XXX,

did you send the money to this mail address?are you people trying to take what i have from me.I think i have to stop this transaction with you all this you have to explain to the western union and let them know that the money you sent is not there.

You said something about restricted in your mail tell what you mean by that,may be you do not want to the lawyer to get this money or please let me know what you are trying to do with me.You are the one that sent this mail to the attorney,

...............................................................................................

Dear Mr. Boondy,

We have received your payment of $2500.00. Thank you! We will prepare all the necessary documents for your perusal and signature. Now all we need is an additional $12,000.00 for attorney remittance fees.

Please send that sum to:

Arnold Jackson Ububuka

Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire WEST AFRICA

Sincerely,

Barrister Richard Odoi, Esq.

................................................................................................

yes who sent it to you,please tell me or you did this your self,and you want me to blame the lawyer i think so,thanks.

Gloria Gium.

Hello Gloria,

Yes, I sent it to:

Arnold Jackson Ububuka

Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire WEST AFRICA

No, I did not do this myself. I am not blaming your lawyer. I do think that he is a little bit incompetent, but I am not blaming him. I do not know that guy and I thought that maybe you or the lawyer did.

By the way, someone broke into my computer and grabbed alot of my files and pictures. I don't know who. As a result, your picture was leaked to the media here in my country. I have heard from the editors of two major newsmagazines. They liked your photo and will be running with them in upcoming publications. They paid me well for giving them interviews, and soon I am invited to go on a talk show called "The Masculine Feminist"

Attached are scans of the front covers of upcoming newsmagazine issues. Time magazine and Newsweek magazine. (As I understand it, the Newsweek copy is still in it's editing stages, but the Time magazine is coming out as is. )

I have contacted the authorities about Arnold Jackson Ububuka. According to Interpol he is a very famous con man. As it turns out, he gets peoples passwords, gets into their mail, and then looks for imfoprmation that will make him money. After I get my hands on him I will strangle the 2500 dollars he took from me.

What it means by "restricted" is that it can only be picked up by the person you send it to, and from the Western Union office you send it to, pus the transaction is not recorded online for security purposes.

By the way, will you send me a new photo of yourself to replace the ones that were stolen from me?

Thanks so much,

Al Bundy

Look, let me get to Western Union, and let me see what they say.

Dearest Gloria,

I got your voice mail messages (and one from the lawyer) and I cannot call back due to the fact that my long distance provider has cut off service to your country. I am trying to find out why this is. I may have to change providers.

But you can tell me whatever you want here in email, or calling me up again.

Thanks so much my precious darling,

Al Bundy

Al Bundy ,

With reference to your mail acknowledged. You see this money $2500 has became an a disturbant towards the progessive of this transaction.Really i can't understood on how to help.i don't know wether this money was sent real or not.i have been working for over years now, i have never expirence such in my office.

If i should advice you here,in order to motivate the success of this transfer ,because i could not understand why they should collect the money from a specified location.According to the central manager western union office here,He confirmed that the control numbers is not correct.

Can you collect back the money from them and re-sent it again from another western union office in your country and forward me the new control numbers for verification.without it everything about the transfer is DOMANT.

Am not doughting that you did 'nt sent it, i beleived the erro is from the western union office where it was sent from,because Miss Gloria Came to meet me with the tranfers receipt on saturday .Take it easy every goodthing dose'nt come easy.

Here i stop.

Dear Barrister Isah,

Please forgive all the problems that have happened. In all my years in business, this has never happened to me before as well, but I guess there is a first time for everything. Please give me some more time because the banks and the Western Union offices are closed right now. I will have to wait untill they open to try to straighten out this whole mess and get payment to you.

That aside, how is Gloria? I wrote a couple of emails to her but she has not responded. I asked for another photograph of her, due to the fact that I have lost the ones she sent me. I had a little technical problem with my computer, the pictures were in my computer and they got lost. So I need to talk to Gloria again. I am so very lonely without her.

Thanks so much,

Al Bundy

By the way, I am having trouble with my phone system. Could you put in another call to me and leave a message as a test?

Here is the message I would like for you to leave (So I'll know it's you):

_________________

Hooters, hooters. Yum, yum, yum.

Hooters, hooters. On a girl that's dumb.

That's the Bundy family credo in case you didn't know. If you leave that message, and if I can get it, I'll know that my phone system is back up again and I can return the call to you and call Gloria as well.

Thanks so much,

Al Bundy

[nutmeg]

"Gloria" is at it again... please see post 20.

[nutmeg]

Almost forgot her email address: ruth_milan02@yahoo.com

[Libloather]

Al bundy,i will be lining the hospital today...

That could run into some serious loot. Almost feel like sending the poor girl a few bucks myself...

[lowbridge]

What did she send you? Same email? Any pics?

[Chewie84]

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]

Here are more of my scams:

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

[lowbridge]

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.

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..,..

[El Cid]

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.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Damn, it's been a while. good stuff, lowbridge!

[Chewie84]

"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)."

That's almost cold, but he undoubtedly deserved it for all the people he must have swindled before coming across you.

"Then he got another email from the Bundy family lawyer, Perry Mason,"
LOL! That is so funny and clever! Way to go!

[lowbridge]

That's almost cold, but he undoubtedly deserved it for all the people he must have swindled before coming across you.

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. :-)

[trisham]

Hilarious!

[Tenacious 1]

Just saw this for the first time. You should have my handle. The dedication and commitment to this ruse is admirable.

[Drrdot]

First time for me as well. Pure comedic gold, thanks lowbridge for sharing these

[Rockpile]

Bump to one of the all time classic threads.

[American in Israel]

Just dang that is outstanding, got to be the craziest thread ever.

You are one patient dude...
