Scam (Internet and Otherwise) Omnibus Thread

They have to scan a QR code to get the number.

Besides, they still haven’t noticed that my first payment is fake. Brainpower is in short supply with this bunch.

Have fun :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Now they’re complaining I sent the wrong number and want the payment slip. How do they not understand electronic transactions and the lack of paper?

Just sent a follow up that I checked my WU account and it says the money was picked up and I want to know what they’re trying to pull.

They’re not too bright, that’s for sure.

No mention of knowing what “the float” is.

It’s okay Mr. Mosse.

Hopefully it will arrive today though I’m only worried about the delays as I have already planned the transaction time frame.

For such a high-priced lawyer, sorry barister, he sure is tight-fisted.

OK, I screwed up. Sent the wrong receipt. Got an email to that effect. Hopefully I saved it, sent a new receipt and explained I was dealing with a huge inheritance in the UK and and accidentally sent the wrong receipt.

You had better hope they don’t send the 2.8-million ATM card. You’ll have quite the egg on your face if they do! :smile:

Faberge eggs.
Not that I’m worried much about getting the card.

Hey, they could buy out the SDMB and rule it with the Arms of Steel, before growing bored and giving in to the Leg of Jello!

I don’t want it. I have Brain Of Tapioca.

Looks like they went to WU to collect and was told they don’t scan codes there.
Likely since WU didn’t issue that slip in the first place.
I claimed it was picked up and they’re trying to rip me off or the pick up guy is.

Good idea.

Maybe claim his “partner” contacted you and was able to get the money from WU.

And then blame your original scammer (lad) for being so inept and delaying things.

Of course he will claim he doesn’t have a partner and for you to stop all contact with that imposter!

To summarize the last 8 hours or so, a number of emails went back and forth, him claiming that WU doesn’t do scans for pickup, me claiming that WU wouldn’t move to scannable codes without equipping all their pickup locations to read codes. Apparently, they went back a second time and got turned down. Now he’s pissed, called me a liar for sending the scan code, i call him stupid for thinking I would believe him when my WU account showed it was picked up and asking why he’s so pissed when he has a $2.8 million ATM card AND my $570. He sent several identical emails demanding I send the correct information.
I guess he thinks I believe there’s a real card and I’m trying to steal it rather than believe that I’ve been playing him all along. We’ll see what morning brings.

Here’s the receipt that was at the center of all this.
They also never noticed that the first $75 fee was fake.

I don’t believe this. He’s still trying.
