Looks like you're onto a winner... or maybe a loser...

certainly one or the other (I love the wind ups you're dishing out...)

Unfortunately, the contract has spelling errors. Why can't these people just push 'F7' in MS Word? Jeez. It's not hard, and it would make a scam so much more believable. Sigh.

If *I* ever decide to rip people off, there will not be spelling errors!

Anyway, 'MoneyGram' itself looks like a pretty legitimate company. This will just be a little identity theft scam run by some opportunist to snare the unwary. I'd telephone MoneyGram's American HQ to make sure, can't hurt, and they should probably be made aware of this if by some strange chance they aren't already.

Its a decent scam if it is, a google linked money gram to many different financing people, probably just a terrorist front or something, I hate when fagghotz act like they are a company but are just stealling the name to give you a false sense of security and take your money and run away.

Although they are trading on the NYSE (the real company)
You can see there share drop lately, http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MGI

Seems abit dodgy to me, I'd say its utter shit - Ok transferr money, into account I mean WTF, ok here have my money to fund nuclear terrorism so the us come and kill me...

I already had filled in the form. also contacted the bank involved.

Im thinking of starting my next line of conversation trying to get 'Laura' to meet me and 'Janey' at a cafe. and maybe hire the services of some of the KB'rs

Good man.

I'd be inclined to keep it all at arm's length if I were you... tell them you need to do everything online due to you being wheelchair bound or something. In person exposes you to them knowing you.. and the associated dangers that go with that (I recall an article in the NZH a while ago about "Fraudster Baiting" and how it got some people killed... the value of life ain't that high to some of these bods...)

It is an extreme example I agree... but one to at least think about.

good point. better idea. set up a meet. since shes/he is expecting a 44yr old business man. Ill just be somewhere nearby with my video camera. then hand it all to the coppa's muhhaha

can you hear the vigilante theme music in the backround too?

**pyrocam** · 5th April 2005, 12:03

Ive had some more responses. I had to pause the conversation, I actually have some work to do today.

I think I got a new person today, different tone of voice and speaks better english.

I did manage to get an email out of them but It was fake. It did allow them to get a copy of my renamed .dll file

this afternoon im going to introduce MR Bransens boss, mr Pinnochio. hope I get a good response there.

then im planning on going all anti-trust on their ass with a WHY DONT YOUR EMAIL WORK stuff. see what I can do.

any idea's welcomed

**StoneChucker** · 5th April 2005, 22:25

1: Hahahahah
2: You have WAY too much time on your hands
3: Be careful mate, make sure you stay at a safe distance
4: Even though there may be a ligitimate co. there somewhere, this is definitely a scam, stinks so badly of it. Not to mention the spelling mistakes on the "contract"
5: Get a "pic" for us before you end it

**ManDownUnder** · 6th April 2005, 08:18

Actually yes... pics would be good - invite the Herald along and see if they would cover it... a journo and a photographer might get some pics in the press - that'd teach 'em!

oooOOO this is getting better

This message was attached to the most recent Nigerian Scam letter I received, clearly the chap has a sense of humour and is using it to reveal the scam for exactly what it is.
