I have the number, the “diplomat” won’t stop calling. I just don’t like talking on the phone. Besides, email gives me time to come up with stuff rather than spur of the moment.
I must have missed that point. I was thinking that asking for the number would give them pause.
Wake up and welcome yet another wonderful morning in your life. I know today you’ll be shining like a star just like any other day. Good morning my Sir! I really hope you had a good sleep. thank you for all you have done for me sir, i received a message from the delivery company according to their message they explain that they don’t have much time to stay in Spain anymore that their going to leave my box in Spain if they did not receive the money today or tomorrow please sir do everything withing your power to make sure they receive the money today so that they will continue their journey to your place sir, please i’m worried help me i don’t know what to do again sir please help me, i don’t want to loose this money
Dr John,
Dr. John,
The bank doesn’t open until 9a. I’ll go see then but there’s nothing I can do to speed up the process.
Peter Mosse
When you do finally “contact the bank” the “bank” should require your scammer to do something silly to help complete the transaction.
I prefer to frustrate them while leaving them feeling like there’s still hope…
This is to inform you that your transfer didn’t reflects till now, try and put trace on the transfer.
Mr. Anderson,
I’m on it.
Peter Mosse
This just came in this minute from Dr. John. He needs to prescribe himself something.
Good day Sir Peter Hope you are having a great day .Please were you able to visit your bank because the transfer you made is delaying so much and the diplomat is stranded over there in Spain and also you have to check if your account was debited did the money really went out of your account , because America to America is local transfer and it shouldn’t take more 24 hours and till now the both transfer you made has not reflected according to diplomat and i think that the fault is from your bank or the money never left your account ,
Please try and check very well so that we will not delay the diplomat again he is very worried and even me i am more worried , once again thank you very much for your good efforts as i wait to hear from you as soon as possible ,
Yours Dr John
I’m heading out to do just that.
Peter Mosse
NOBODY expects the Spanish authorities!
Maybe Peter Mosse could have a heart attack on his way to the bank. Then his lawyer could contact Dr. John and Mister Anderson to give them the sad news.
Then, he could let them know that the law firm is prepared to release the funds to them promptly - the only hitch is that he needs $500 in order to clear probate first. Ask them to wire the money.
Any chance they would have to pay money would likely end it.
Besides, Peter Mosse’s bank account doesn’t exist. A reverse scam wouldn’t last long.
I had one scammer who got five different fake payments before he caught on. As long as they believe they’re getting money…
Hello Sir Peter , you really have to clarify things with the bank today to avoid more delay and first of all check if the bank as debted you and secondly ask the bank to release the money if they are the one holding and also remember that this transaction should kept as our top secret till we succeded ,
Is very urgent you have to make sure the bank push the money into the account the diplomat sent to you and also make sure you call the diplomat and speak to him he is very unhappy with the situation ,
Please i am really counting on you make sure things work out today so that the diplomat will proceed to your home by tomorrow
Since he’s not nearly nervous enough:
Dr. John
I just got back from the bank. The payment is on hold while the recipient is being investigated for money laundering.
Peter Mosse
I don’t think I did his nerves a favor.
Sir Peter I don’t really understand what the bank said who is the bank investigating you or who , you just have to ask them to release the payment
Sir Peter what is the way out what are we going to do now , because how can the two payments being investigated even the second account is America to America which shouldn’t take longer just be honest to me on what we should do at this point because the diplomat is waiting
ETA:
Don’t ask me what to do. You deal with this sort of thing more than I do.
Peter Mosse
Sir please the diplomat don’t know what is in the box, the box was written as a family treasure not as money, please help me
Why does it matter if the diplomat knows whats inside?
Send him here, I’ll open the box and pay him out of that.
He’s a diplomat, he’s being paid by his country to do this.
Peter Mosse
ETA since Discourse won’t let me post more than 4 times.
Sir Peter when did the bank said the money is going to be released because the delay has taken longer time and secondly has the money gone out of your account I mean have you received debt alert from your account
Yes, the money has been debited and it won’t be released until the investigation is complete.
Peter Mosse
I’ve been getting a lot of email lately where the sender is shown as “Me”. The send is spoofing the header to show my email address as the originator. Sometimes the recipient is not me, but some other address.
I don’t click on “show pictures” but delete the emails. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this phenomenon.
No problem. Peter Mosse will accept gift cards.
Peter Mosse takes cash only.
As for the ongoing scam I’ve been documenting, Discourse wouldn’t allow me to post until someone else posted.
You can pick up at Giraffe Boards from here:
OK, I’ll post on an unrelated issue so that you’re no longer the only one posting here.
I’m at my parents’ house for the holiday week and several times we’ve received calls from people with an Indian accent claiming to be from CVS. They eventually say that they’re calling to send a free COVID-19 testing kit. We all recognize it’s a scam but I’m wondering what the nature of the scam is. Are they just trying to get the address to pursue something else? This is the time of year for Medicare Advantage enrollement so are they going to sign us up for a particular plan (presumably one with a fat commission)?
(They get prescriptions from CVS, which is one reason we don’t just hang up immediately. But my mother recognizes that real callers say hello immediately while there is a pause before scam callers get on the line.)

Just in time for the holidays, I’m getting 10 million from the Federal
Ministry Of Finance World Compensation (FMF) USA.
And for some reason, Fed-Ex needs to know my occupation.
Very disturbing voicemail today originating in Shanghai. As transcribed:
“JibJab the China exit and entry Administration finally remind you that you have not received them Port documents. John courtroom team Glenny to see her to see, you know, Julia Lindsey. I’m waiting shoot cashier and Jen Shun back track your injection back.”
Maybe I should call. I don’t want a dead cashier on my conscience.

I got a letter today that’s virtually identical to the one I received in October, to get me to share in an alleged $10,950,000 “savings monetary deposit with a Reputable Bank here in Toronto, Canada” held by some person who allegedly died in an accident eight years ago and the lawyer involved offers to split 90% of the cash with me.
This time it’s a different law firm, “Milner Hilliker Sandberg LLP” in Toronto that’s sending this come-on. Once again the scammers have gone to the trouble of setting up a reasonably professional-looking website with photos of the imaginary lead attorney and partners (probably images scooped up from unrelated Internet sites), to allay any suspicion of grift. Oddly, searches of the alleged principals don’t yield anything about professional or personal activities outside of the website.
Apparently I am supposed to have forgotten that a completely different “Toronto law firm” made the same proposal to me only two months ago. Are there no honest lawyers left in Toronto?
