The next post was because i was feeling a bit cheeky. I wondered if he could guess where this came from..

Hi John,

Mr Fukov has managed to get things organized and i'll be emailing you a scanned copy of the transfer for 1,980 less the RM20 for the service charge, so i guess that things should be coming to a close now. But let me say that I made it through the wilderness, somehow I made it through. Didn't know how lost I was until I found you (and your 1,800). I was beat incomplete, I'd been had, I was sad and blue but you made me feel... Yeah, you made me feel shiny and new.

Like a bargain, struck for the very first time, like a bargain, when your western union clears faster than mine.

Cheers!

What this guy did next was pretty low down. Its not bad enough to be taking money from a Children's Fund, this crook was SO GREEDY that he even wanted to haggle over RM20. Time to up the ante.

Thanks for the response,but you are to pay the shipping of RM2,000 as agreed.Further arrangements will be made with you later in regards to the pick up.

John


I decided to send him a stern message. Who blinks first?

Mr James.

Please understand this:

If you want to engage in debates over a mere 20 Ringgit, then you will be very welcome to do so but unfortunately it'll only be with yourself. I have made the gracious step in organizing the transaction for you WITHOUT any documentation from you as REQUIRED by law over here.

If you insist on the full 2000 then we have nothing more to say to each other. Until you accede to this issue there will be no further communication, and therefore no deal.

I trust that i have made myself absolutely clear on this.

Sincerely,
xxxxxxxx


And before you can say "Nigeria 419":

Alright..I shall be expecting your payment for MYR1,980 by Western Union to the shipping agent immediately and without any delay email the western union receipt to PayPal Customer care email in order to receive your money.

Then, my final message:

On 9/9/10, I wrote:
Hi John,

I have asked Mr Fukov to do the necessary, and have attached the following .zip file containing the western onion information for your further action.

I have included a secret password to the transaction as is the norm with western onion payments. I hope you understand that this is necessary to prevent fraud. So when you go to the western onion office, you must insist on meeting the manager and say loudly and quickly: "ALPHA KENNY BODY". Repeat this loudly several times if the manager doesn't seem to understand you, as its all part of the security process.

By the way, Pundaa called me from the UK just now, he's at the Woolwhich High Street near a place called Amma's Fare just a few doors away from your shipper and I think he should be there shortly. He says he's popped by the London Met and bringing a surprise over there as well, so I guess that you guys should be able to hit it off in a big way. What is the Met by the way? Pundaa wouldn't tell me.

Anyway, here's wishing you interesting times ahead.

Cheers!



That Para with Pundaa was purposely put to give the crook a sense of urgency. The .zip file contained 2 files - one a so-called W.U receipt and an unfriendly .exe file that will autorun.

Never heard from John James again after that.

 

[johnj]

hahahha...serves the bastard right!!!!:top:

 

[berserkdroid]

Actually i would've paid good money to see him yelling "ALPHA KENNY BODY" in the W.U office.

Hope he did it and someone put it up on youtube...

 

[johnj]

now you must pester and ask him whether he has received the money and just tell him you have shipped the Item..hehehehe
