I love it when I can punch their buttons.

If you have some spare time and you are looking for some comic relief then play with them like a cat plays with a mouse.

The next time you receive an email from the grand high exalted mystic ruler claiming to have millions to transfer into your account for the small processing fee of only $150, write back that you just sent $5900 to Professor Mabutu Shabazz and you are waiting for your atm card to arrive. Watch what happens next and have some fun.

That’s funny. What a nice way to turn the tables around. LOL

Secondly, you have to be “brain dead” to fall for such a scam. No one in the real world buys a used car over the internet sight unseen.

I get rid of them by demanding a verifiable address and phone number so a bill of sale can be sent for their signature and then returned to my office.

Turning to some comic relief……..

I’ve been playing with a couple of fine upstanding gentlemen from Nigeria claiming to be Robert Mueller. I informed them that before I send the first $$$ I must speak with FBI Chairman J. Edgar Hoover. These idiots send me a spoofed number with a 718 exchange. Obviously, these Nigerian morons bought a Magic Jack and configured the inbound number to a Brooklyn/Bronx exchange.

The Nigerian answers the phone. I asked him if he was Mr. Hoover. After a long pause I asked him if he is the real J. Edgar Hoover. He quickly assured me he is FBI Chairman J. Edgar Hoover. I asked him why does a white guy from Washington D.C. sound like a black african? Once again I asked him, “are you sure you are Mr. Hoover”? Again he assured me that he is the genuine J. Edgar Hoover and added that he had a cold, and that might explain why his voice sounded so funny. I came back with this……. I said because of all of the internet scams you can never be too cautious therefore I am going to ask you a question ONLY the REAL J. Edgar Hoover can answer correctly”. The Nigerian took the bait by proclaiming he could answer the question. I asked him, “What happened on May 2nd, 1972″? Dead silence on the other end for at least 45 seconds. The Nigerian comes back stammering and stuttering trying to find an answer. I can hear a muffled “huddle” in the background as the three stooges try to find an answer. Finally, the Nigerian comes back and tells me he is too busy to stay on the phone and I should email him my question. He then hangs up.

I burned up about 12 minutes of his phone time and make no mistake…the owners of the cyber cafes in Lagos rape these guys for the use of cellphone and computer time. These guys pay through the nose for a minute of phone time. It’s not cheap. Their payday comes when some brain dead American or european falls for their con and sends them several thousand dollars.

Immediately following my conversation I forward a copy of their email to abuse@live.com, or to Yahoo and they kill the perp’s email account within 24 hours.

Have fun everybody.
