OK - Let's Tell The Scammer I Already Have The Money

Well, I received this exciting email that says Hello, wow, congratulations, three exclamation points but only one, mmm, it is a great pleasure to inform you that you are the winner for the sum of one million seven hundred and fifty thousand euros. For further inquiries, please contact John Rosa. via his email address, sincerely, online coordinator hello, wow, in fact, I can't

tell

you how much I had always hoped to come out on top of this sum. It seems like it's time to attack scams again before they start. Just a usual quick note about this channel. create a variety of content, don't be surprised if the video after this is about the nature of food or some other random thing, it's what I do, so wow, congratulations, what an exciting email to

have

received.

Wait a minute, I just need to correct. This online coordinator apostrophe catastrophe is immediately. I decided to contact John Guerosa to claim my fortune, except there's something strange when I clicked Reply. The email address was Rev J Barrosa, not Warosa, so I responded. I don't remember participating in this contest. What is this? all it's about is your name juarossa or barosa what's going on reverend john barroso responded with an email that was an obvious pre-written template claiming that i won the lottery the purpose of which was to encourage active google users well it's about time, so apparently no tickets were sold for this, but the email addresses were randomly drawn by a computer from a list of, whatever this number is, profile names from every continent in the world.

Now I know what you're thinking. It's an obvious scam, but wait, this lottery is approved. by the benin republic gaming board there is even a certificate showing that it looks legit one of the things i love to do when looking for scams is criticize some trivial detail john warrosa had not yet explained to me why he was emailing me from an account called rev john barossa i had now assumed that the rev in rev john barossa meant reverend so i just asked john if i had permission to use john's account this way but i was wrong this is actually the account by ravina john barosa and all this except it was my It's my fault because I responded to the wrong address.

Now I want you to take a few minutes to appreciate the beauty of the composition of this email. Anyway, John Barossa and John Werosa apparently work in the same office, so I said it must be very confusing, I bet. There are a lot of fun confusions, but what is it about? I did not participate in any contest. Is this a bug? John Burrossa responded with the same email as before, but to apologize for the confusion, but we can continue from here, oh John. With so much optimism, you don't seem to realize who's driving this thing, so this is a Google lottery.

How strange, I didn't know they did that. Incredible. Where do I

have

to go to collect my winnings? John Barossa responded to say yes, it's a Google lottery. then he asked me again for those pesky personal details, now we could waste time and take a while, but there is something else I want to try, so I simply replied with some of manuel's identification bits, the

scammer

had asked me for a phone number. phone and I provided the number of my disposable prepaid SIM along with an excuse as to why it would turn off if he ever tried to call me.

I was meaning to play with this a bit more and

tell

him that I had to climb a tall tree in the garden in order to use my phone, but this time it didn't work, we'll save that idea for a future video anyway, I just asked if the promised prize would be delivered in cash, of course, the answer to that question is no, the options are a prepaid visa ATM card yes, of course, I think there are prepaid cards with a balance of 1.75 million euros, why no? or a cashier's check. Both options require you to pay a fee up front of course they do, naturally the last paragraph states that the charges will not be deducted from the prize almost as if they anticipate my next action so I ignored it and just said please deduct prize insurance and send me the balance, no problem, I look forward to receiving my prize, of course this wasn't going to work and John B just pasted that annoying paragraph again.

I only asked if this was a legal requirement and, in fact, if John was completely subject to the law at this time, he expected him to pontificate about being legal and upright at that time, he would beat the shit out of him. about how to scam wasn't exactly legal, but that didn't hold true, so let's move on. John said it was a legal requirement but there were no other legal requirements. I especially liked paragraph number three. Rest assured, you are safe. You are a ravina, not a reverend john, there are no further legal proceedings regarding your claims of number of complaints.

You are expected to comply promptly to submit the processing fee so that we immediately receive the requested amount. This will help our administration to facilitate and begin registration. and the delivery of your winning amount by crediting your complaining check at an ATM that will be taken to your address provided with your PIN numbers to access and withdraw your funds. We await your response with the details of your payments. Will be guided accordingly. I decided to inject a little skepticism, so I asked him please, could I please verify those details with his colleague John Warrosa? I just want a second opinion.

John Barossa responded that everyone agreed. Yeah, that's not what I meant, so let's make it work a little. I replied: I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. Ask John Warrosa to email me directly from his own email account to confirm this, so John now replaced John John as if John was clearly a Comic Sans fan and sent a long-winded but clearly pre message. -I wrote a congratulatory email and this is where an interesting opportunity arose. Attached to this email were forged copies, of course, of a cover letter from the bank, let's take a few moments to enjoy it, and also a copy of the supposed cashier's check I was going to receive. for my prize, dear, so I said: dear John, thank you very much for emailing me about this.

Tomorrow I will print the cashier's check and pay it into my bank account. I had no idea it would be this simple. Your colleague Ravina John Barossa was saying something about an ATM card and a strange fee just one question before I go, the signer's name on the cashier's check looks like it says jeremy juggler it's that right thank you so much for making this one such an easy transaction your diligence and efficiency are highly praised john He was quite quick in responding please read very carefully. He cannot deposit his draft check into his bank account because what they sent him is the photocopy and for this reason his bank will require the original copy of his draft check before it can be valid. deposit the original copy of your draft check is here in our office, I told you not to worry, I'm pretty sure checks will work with reference numbers these days, the paper copy is pretty redundant anyway, I printed it and honestly, you can't tell me it's not the original.

I don't think it's a problem. What is the name of the gaming board signatory? I mean, it's not important, but I just have to know if it's Jeremy Juggler. He seems to say that. Thanks again for your diligence and attention I will let you know as soon as the check clears, we never heard from jeremy juggler and it turns out that when you do this when you claim that you are taking the

scammer

's document to a bank, practically calm down, obviously, yes Had I tried to present this fake check, someone at the bank would tell me I'm being scammed and the game would be over, but let's move on and see if we can catch the scammer again.

I just said a Quick Update to let you know that the check cleared my bank as expected. It didn't matter that it was just a copy, as the routing and serial numbers are the important parts and were very legible on the scan he sent. Now what shows up in my account balance is pretty amazing to see, but there is a 24 hour settlement period so I can't start spending my winnings until tomorrow right after lunchtime. The anticipation is quite exciting. I think I'm going to buy a boat. There was no response, so I waited. one day and I said hello, there seems to be a slight delay in clearing the funds.

The bank initially said 24 hours after deposit, but it seems I can't start spending my winnings yet. Any ideas why this might be nothing? so I waited three days and said, dear Johns Warosa and Barossa, I don't understand why they stopped responding at this critical point in the transaction. I still need your help. Please forgive me if there is any overriding reason for your inability to respond. It's the weekend in your part of the world It's Tuesday where I live again Just three more days and this was my last attempt dear johns I'm sorry to report that the check did not clear my bank and I don't have the funds now after all this this is a huge disappointment please advise what should i do next, that took a bite and John W responded from John B's email address.

Please read very carefully, I am very sorry that your draft check has not been uploaded to your bank account, but it's all your fault. Because you did not follow the instructions, you were supposed to receive the original copy of your draft check by Dahul courier, but you insist on working with the photocopy, which is not valid and for this reason the original copy of your check draft will be sent to you as a package before it can be valid for deposit, the original copy of your draft check is here in our office and we will be able to transfer it to your bank account as soon as you receive it, it is certainly something very serious, so that I asked him.

Dear John, Why use John's email account instead of yours? This is very confusing to me. Also, what should I do next? John replied: I emailed you the other email, but it doesn't process, which is why I used this question. the courier office is near you husking courier ups courier fedex courier now you will notice that I divided the conversation into two topics, one of them is important, the matter of the czech and the courier, the other trivial about the strangeness of using the account someone else's email. Guess which thread I'm going to follow, dear John, I still don't understand it.

Does John Barossa know that you are using his email account? That kind of thing would get me fired from my job if I did it. Do you have permission to do it? You can almost feel a hint of anger in John's response. He says yes, he knows I used his email. We work in the same office and we agreed to contact you with this email as the other email is not processed so we agreed that I used this reason we want to be sure you are receiving our email. We will contact this email for now until we fix the error in the other question in the email.

Which courier office is near you? Daho Korea Wow courier Fedex Courier I told you, dear John, none of those courier companies have offices near me, but will I have to visit the office? I thought the whole point of a courier service is that they bring things to you when they deliver the check directly to my house. John replied yes, DHL. The courier agent will go to his address for delivery. We recommend that you send 200 euros for delivery by DHL courier to your postal address. If he can send the rate today, I will make the listing tomorrow morning and we will email him all the listing details.

Let's play the game I said, okay, I guess that's what I'll do, how do I pay? Does your company have a payment portal or something? John replied: You just need to buy two UK Steam gift cards for 100 pounds in the store and then send the photos of the two Steam gift cards here are very easy and simple. I asked him how it works. DHL insurance is paid with these Steam cards. John said yes, we will redeem the Steam gift cards at the Steam gift card store very close to our office. and get the cash to pay for the delivery, you have to buy the two Steam gift cards of 100 each in the store and then send the photos of the two Steam gift cards right here.

It's very easy and simple as I figured out my next step. getting impatient and I guess he thought he could smell blood in the water at that moment, so before he could respond, he chased after him. We have been waiting to hear from you, but no news so far. I want to know if you received the gift of two steamers. cards I replied sorry, I'm still trying to figure out what that means. What is a Steam card? Can I pay you with PayPal? John said we accept Bitcoin Perfect Money and a Steam gift card for online payments, which is easier and hassle-free.

Attached belowa copy of a Steam gift card and you can get it at any store. I said, what's up with Coin Squirt? Can I send you the

money

that way? John said you can pay online with your credit card using World. send

money

transfer Western Union money transfer or Moneygram money transfer. Please choose one of these options for us to provide you with the receivers. I relented and responded that it's okay. I'll go to the bank tomorrow and withdraw £200 and then try to find the Steam Cards to buy. John was clearly excited now and he replied that it will be fine.

We will be waiting to receive your Steam cards tomorrow so we can proceed with delivery to his address. I told him rest assured I will take care of it. this tomorrow with all haste and diligence the next morning I told Jon I was going to the bank now I have to confess I left John hanging all day I had some important errands to do more in a moment but poor John I couldn't wait and I asked that they were leaving it and I haven't heard from you. What's going on? Did you receive the Steam card? Well, no, at this point he hadn't received the Steam card because he had been busy preparing to tell John.

Once again, the check had actually been cashed, but this time I decided it deserved some evidence, so buying a car like this costs almost fifty thousand pounds, but it turns out you can just stand in front of it and hang your own keys completely free of charge. , so this is what I sent you, dear John Zuarosa and Barossa. It has been a truly incredible day. I went to the bank to withdraw the £200 for the Steam cards and, to my great surprise and delight, discovered that the check I presented last week was actually cashed, after all apparently the bank had to briefly take it out of my account last week passed to convert euros to gbp, which is why I was missing for a while, but this morning I was looking at a bank. balance of over 1.5 million pounds, let me tell you this, normally people point at me and laugh at me for my ridiculous t-shirts, but things change when you have over a million pounds in your pocket, the doors open , so I have spent the day realizing some of my long-awaited dreams.

I bought a beautiful prestige car and a boat called batida which means something or other in Spanish. I also bought a beautiful house in a very picturesque little town and a beautiful horse. His name. It's meatball apparently there's a funny story about that name, but the horse's previous owner was too busy counting bills to tell me. I attached photos of my amazing day. Thank you very much for this incredible award that changed my life. At first I was very skeptical that this could be real, but look at me. I'm a millionaire now, one last thing, are you still asking me to send Steam cards more or less as expected?

This response closed the conversation completely and I received no further responses from the scammer despite trying first. Asked. I was disappointed that you didn't at least congratulate me. I have both Steam cards here. Do you still want them? I thought maybe that would get them hooked again. I tried once again, this time with both email addresses at once, saying John didn't respond. tell them if they still want the steam cards, do you want them to be eager to hear from you, but unfortunately there is no response? It's a real shame they didn't want the cards as I had gone to so much trouble to pick out two very nice Steam cards here and Here we go, that's what happens when you tell a scammer that you

already

received the prize.

It's pretty hard to get the conversation going, but there's still some fun to be had. I hope you enjoyed. Thanks so much for looking. and I hope to see you again soon
