Dear Frank.

Hello my friend, how are you today? hope all is well where you are? my friend do you or a partner have any experience in the luxury car market? if so, i would like you to become an agent for me, the rewards from my company will be handsome, as an agent for my company you could be payed between $15.000-$20.000 for any car that you may find me.

Frank the main cars that i am interested in are Ferrari, Lamborghini, but i will consider anything that you may find interesting, i also deal in fine art to do with these cars, so if you know of any artist who may be able to paint/carve these cars for me i will pay handsomely for their work.

Frank my friend, did i tell you that i also like to participate in motor racing as an hobby? I attach a photo of myself after my recent race the Welsh GP, that is me on the right.

Take care my friend, hope to speak to you soon.

Ralph

Dear Frank.

How are you today? i thought that you may find these photos interesting, an agent of mine in Nigeria tracked down a very rare glassfibre Ferrari 308 for me, we paid the owner $20.000 for the car, we had a buyer here in the UK ready for this car, we sold it to him for $70.000 a profit of $50.000, my agent in Nigeria was paid $20.000 for finding this car, also he tracked down a Lamborghini Countach for me, i bought this car for $10.000 and sold it here for $60.000 again a profit of $50.000 the same agent was paid $15.000, the Ferrari in the picture is being delivered by my company to its new owner, the Lamborghini is being loaded on to my companys jet in Nigeria ready to be flown to its new owner in the U.S.A,.

Hope all is well and you will be in touch soon.

This is going to be interesting. Now that you've got his telephone number, have you thought about turning him into Interpool?

Art

 

Interpool? Is that where international scammers pool there resources?

This is a funny thread.

 

+1

i hope he's not an Arsenal fan tho..

 

you have to record it and use a webcast or youtube..

 

Just freaking do it. Use Skype and record the conversation.

 

Not yet mate, but i will turn him over to the 419 eaters

I have signed up to K7.net, here all calls made by Frank to me will be recorded here and sent to my e-mail, i will of course let you listen to this guy in action

Dear Frank.

Hello my friend, how are you today? Frank my friend i have tried calling on the number you gave but i am being told there is a problem with incoming calls to your country, here is my number for my American office 206-350-2581, my office is in Seatle so you will need to find the dialling code from your country, i am currently in America that is why i am giving you this number, i am out of the office a lot so please leave a message for me, i am leaving for a meeting this afternoon to discuss setting up a web forum about Ferraris, i am thinking of calling it F-CHAT, my American partner knows more about this than me.

Frank do you know anyone who can paint in your country? i ask because we also deal in artwork involving exotic cars, i did have a young woman from your country who painted the Ferrari i have attatched for you to see, that is my own personal Ferrari in the painting, the young woman was paid $20.000 for her work.

Give me a call soon my friend i look forward to speaking to you.

Dear Frank.

I have tried to call you three times now as stated in a previous E-mail, but the phone lines to your country are really bad and i cant get through, if you need to speak call me at 0012063502581 see if you get more luck, if i am not there leave a message and i will try again to call you.

Hope to hear off you soon my friend.

Ralph.

 

I think you are making a mistake as all scammers are barristers are they not? Seriously though this used to be a big hobby of mine but it takes up too much time. My signature trick was to get them in photos stark naked holding up amusing signs. I would post some but i dont really think it is appropriate for fchat.

 

LOL My aim with this one is to get a photo of him with a sign saying F-CHAT RULES, and maybe get a nice painting of a Ferrari, i will auction the painting and give the money to a charity.

 

Great idea

Edit:

I have a great template for a 10-20 page 'homeland security' form that you could find an excuse to get them to fill in, usually with hilarious answers. I got it from one of the 419 sites if you want it drop me a pm with your email.

 

Sounds like a great idea i can fit it in somewhere

 

Just recieved this from Frank

Dear Frank.

Hello Frank my friend how are you and your family? my friend, once you find me a car that i find suitable i will of course send you the money to purchase the car, first you must find a suitable car and send me details and photos of said car, once accepted by me i will forward a payment to you to buy the car, once bought you must arrange shipping to either the United Kingdom or the United States of America, of course all shipping costs will be sent to you, you will then recieve an agents fee from me once the car is sold, I hope this sounds good to you?

Frank i must ask you for some details if you are to become an agent for me i will send a questionare on to you when i get a chance, i will also need a good and clear photograph of you for my company records.

I am also extremely interested in finding an artist to recreate through paintings my own and customers cars, can you help me out with this my friend?

Ralph
