Ok, the deal so far is this. I received a 419 Nigerian scam letter. I answered and signed the email as Winn D. Seety. The scammer has replied.
His first letter said that MY money was in jeopardy because some woman controlled by criminal forces had come forward to claim it. I replied that the email was sent to me by mistake, the money was not mine, the situation sounded important and he should go through his records to find the true owner.
Second letter A paltry $850,000 USD is involved and the real owner cannot be found. IBRAHIM DURU wants me to claim the money so a hospital can be built near his poor hometown. I replied that I had no claim to the money and he should do his job and find the true owner.
Third Letter - quote -
ATTN:PAUL.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECIPT OF YOUR MAIL AND I MUST TELL YOU TRHAT DISPITE THE CONTENT IT GLADENS MY
HEART THAT YOU ARE SO SINCERE.
BUT MY FRIEND THE REASON I MADE THE PROPOSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS THAT WE HAVE TRIED OUR
POSSIBLE BEST TO LOCATE HIM WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS.
YOU SEE I COME FROM THE POREST REGION IN MY COUNTRY AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD A COMMUNITY
HOSPITAL FOR MY PEOPLE AND THAT I CAN NOT DO WITH MY EARNING.
YOU NOW SEE WHY I CHOOSE THIS GOLDERN OPPURTUNITY TO ACHIVE THAT GOAL. ALL I WANT IS YOUR
ASSISTANCE TO MAKE THIS A REALITY AS IF I DONÂ’T DO ANY THING OTHERS WILL USE THAT WOMAN AS A STOGE TO
CLAIM THE FUND AS HER NAME IS ALREADY ON OUR PAYING COMPUTER SYSTEM.
PLEASE I WILL BE VERY GREATFULL IF YOU ASSIST ME AS I HAD ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT I WILL PROVIDE YOU
WITH ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO FACILITATE YOUR CLAIM AND WITH MY POSITION AS A DIRECTOR YOU
WILL ENCOUNTER NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CLEARANCE.

Note the "Attention Paul" - I had forgotten my emails went out with my first name in the from email bar. I had stopped it in my signature but... Oh Well! Liver and loin as the butcher says.
My Reply -
Good News!
I did an online search for "**** ****" and found him
for you.
If you click on this link you will see that he is
playing football/soccer for the Grimthorpe City team.
**** Google Search cache link was here ****
I'm certain that his gratitude for your protecting his
money will extend to sharing part of his 850 million
dollars to help you build the hospital. Let me know
when it is built. Hoping your doctors will be able to
help my daughter. - Winn D. Seety -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since he wants to build a hospital I figure he will need patients hence the daughter is brought into the picture. And perhaps I can get a discount for helping him find the real owner.
I have plans to let this person know that my daughter suffers from Groschnozzosis - Unusual growths on the end of the nose causing it to extend daily. - Also known as Pinochiosis -
Don't laugh. Groschnozzosis (Pinochiosis) is very painful and the growth must be removed weekly (A painful process that involves putting the nose to a grindstone) or else the nose will extend into other peoples business. -
I'm also hoping that by taking time from his busy day to answer my emails he might not take the time to advance other scams to the unwary.
