More Ways to Tell you are Talking to a Scammer

They hardly ever use Capital "I" it always seems to be "i".

They seem to talk in run on sentences that make no sense without any proper punctuation or breaks. Their use of English totally sucks.

Instead of writing 'good to hear from you' they seem to write 'good to READ from you'

MORE COMING SOON!

Jack Slaycer, Another Scammer Needing a Plane Ticket Home

This is Jack Slaycer who also goes by Jacky. His email addres is: jackslaycer@rocketmail.com

After sending us the usual drivel, he then tried to convince us that his wife married his best friend - of course she did!!!! - that is yet another story they always us and his email letters were full of 'i' instead of "I". It is CAPITAL "I", CAPITAL "I". Maybe they need Sesame Street or something.

Then a few days later he sends his sob story about how he is stranded and can't afford a plane ticket to get home! Poor guy... not! anyway, here is his money letter.

I had a problem with my Job on here and they are willing to pay my trip back in January they informed me today but i just quit the Job and i need to get home , though i have some finances waiting for me at home , and when i tried paying online with my credit card i was required to pay extra using my Bta and that i dont have , so after talking to an agent he stated that i can only buy it easier if someone helps me buy it from the states and have it sent to me .... So thats why .. PLease assist me . i wil have the money wired into your credit card online then you can buy it online too for me ... I am waiting here Hun ..

Signs You May Be Talking To A Nigerian Scammer

Now that we decided to toy with scammers in an effort to keep them busy (and hopefully away from victims) we have noticed some signs right away that we have a Nigerian scammer on the hook. Here are some of the signs that you may be talking, chatting or emailing a Nigerian scammer:

1. Their first email to you (or maybe the second) gives you their yahoo id (even though you didn't ask for it) and they want to chat offsite with yahoo im.

2. They supply their phone number almost immediately and want yours (of course it is not a us or uk number)

3. If they have a child, they have an only child. They say they have custody of their child and the kid travels with them to foreign countries. Forget about school and freinds for the kid.... who the hell babysits this kid by the way?

4. They may start out living in the United States but wind up working overseas perhaps in the UK, Italy, whatever but then after THAT job, they get their next job in....guess where.... Africa. Big shock, right?

5. The sob story is they are either a widow whose wife died in a car accident, during childbirth, or left him for his best friend. These are the three most popular right now.

6. They are looking for a woman (man) who will be a mother (father) for their child. RIGHT AWAY. They let you know they told the kid about you and the kid is THRILLED and calls you Mom or Dad right away. When/if the kid writes you they will change the font color. (How stupid)

7. The say they grew up in the states, BUT don't use our vernacular. They say they went to the cinema. We in the U.S.A. say we went to the movies. They say they need "food stuffs". In America, we simply say "food". Their spelling is horrible and grammar is just as bad. They love to use "cos" for because.

8. They often say they are new to the site and you are the first person they are writing to -- go check, they have been on for a while, and have friends.

9. They profess love REALLY quickly. Within a few emails they KNOW you are the right one for them and want to spend the rest of their lives with you. Yeah, ok.

10. They tell you they live in California or New York or wherever, but know NOTHING about it. They don't know the area, stores, streets, etc. These are just some of the signs we have observed so far and will post more soon.

9. They bought a one way ticket to a foreign country. Huh? They may say it is because they didn't know when the job would be finished? Pay the extra 50 bucks to change the dates, rather than the high rate of a one way ticket that of course they won't have the money for when the job is over, because they will either be robbed (lie) or have a check they can't cash (lie).

10. Can't cash a check in a foreign country. Really? Why the hell not? Go to the bank that issued the check, and cash it there. You don't have to have an account, just the person who WROTE THE CHECK does. So, what's the problem? Oh, that's right, there ISN'T a check anyway, this is all part of the scam.

11. Accents : You may think he/she disn't SOUND Nigerian. Would you know what a Nigerian sounds like? No. You most likely DON'T. The big question is why does someone BORN in America (like they claim) that lived in America (like they claim) have an accent that is NOT American?

NIGERIAN SCAMMER EDWARD PEDERSEN GETS DESPERATE

After Edward Pedersen asked us for the money we of course stopped all correspondence with him immediately which then resulted in an onslaught of emails - 5 to be exact within a 2 hour period where he BEGGED for the $$$. We received 5 similar emails to the one below professing his undying love and asking for the money promising all the while how rich 'we' will be.

After reading so much of the crapola over and over again we see a trend here. They always use text like verbage U instead of you, they can't spell worth a crap, they always call you HONEY and SWEETIE (gag me), profess undying love... and they fall in love very fast - like within 3 emails. And refer to themselves as "Your husband" or "Your wife".

HI HONEY.......HOW ELSE DO U WANT ME TOPROVE MY LOVE TO YOU?I SENT YOU MINE PASSPORT AND EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED...HONEY I SWEAR TO GOD WHO MADE ME THAT I HAVE COME TOLOVE YOU LIKE NO OTHER IN THIS LIFE....AND IHAVE COME TO TRUST YOU THAT WAS WHY I SENTYOU MINE PERSONAL PASSPORT....BABY YOU ARETHE RIGHT WOMAN FOR ME.....AND THERE IS NOWAY I CAN BETRAY THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU......HONEY PLS TIME IS GOING OK?GO ANDSEND THE MONEY LOVE AND I SHALL FORWARD UWITH ALL THE NECCESSARY DETAILS REGARDING MYFLIGHT TO THE STATE SO THAT BY FRIDAY YOUWILL COME TO THE AIRPORT AND PICK MEUP....HONEY PLS I HAVE TO MADE THIS PAYMENTFIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING......HONEY THETIME HERE IS 7:3PM UNITED KINGDOM....HONEY PLS I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT I AM YOURS ANDNO WOMAN CAN TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU....HONEYTHAT IS WHY AM DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TOGET MY FUND TRANSFER BY TOMORROW AS SOON ASYOU SEND ME THE TWO DIFFERENT MTCNTODAY.....HONEY I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU OK?PLS KNOW THAT WE HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARSAND THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.......I CAN SEND YOU SOME MONEY THE SAME TOMMOROW AS SOON AS I HAVE ACESS ON MY FUND TOMMOROWLOVE BEFOR DEPARTING TO THE STATE....LOVE PLEASE NAME WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO BUY FOR YOU ON MY WAY BACK TO THE STATE...

Nigerian Scammer Thomas Griboviszki ..A heart breaking isn't always as loud as a bomb exploding..

Here is the FIRST letter he sent....and again this one is also looking for an 'honest woman'
HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS: sweetlife335@yahoo.com

Hello there, How are you doing and I hope you are finding this search for love so interesting? I am very new on here and I saw your profile,it's interesting And i would really like to get to know more about you if you don't mind.I am Thomas by name and I would please want you to be very free and ask me what ever you wish to know about me and my lifestyle....Meanwhile I hope you are a believer and a God fearing person who loves others and care so much for Kids?Cos I so much love kids ,Even though I have just one,I still cherish them so dearly, and love making them so happy and having impact in their lifes.Sorry right now,I'm in England and it'll take me 2months to be done...I'm looking for a long term relationship that will last for a life time..And distance is no problem to me, i hope when i am done i'll have found an honnest woman to be home to. while i'm out here,we can always talk on phone which you can call me anytime(+447024086692).. Here is the link to my yahoo profile http://profiles.yahoo.com/zatura1, my yahoo email is zatura1@yahoo.com , while my chat id is zatura1 .Please kindly email me to my yahoo email because I would not be able to get to you here as I cannot really understand much of it.Hope to hear back from you soon. Thomas

and then..... more of his drivel....with the typical cutting and pasting from another source.

Hello and how are you doing?Thanks for given me the opportunity to write back to you..I'm just a simple man of nature.Thomas by name 55 of age one son who will be 10 of age soon but does not live with me.....I do want you to know that i'm hoping to have an honnest woman to build a happy relationship with that will last for a life time..I hope you'll agree with me that,A heart breaking isn't always as loud as a bomb exploding.. Sometimes it can be as quiet as a feather falling.. And the most painful thing is, no one really hears it, except you..I'v been heart broken that i never thought i'll ever love again..But i though more better about it and that's why i'v deside to give this a try and see if there's any honnest woman out there that is looking for a relationship that will last for a life time.....I'm taking my time to write you all this just to let you know what i really want in a woman because,It's a long road when you face the world alone, when no one reaches out a hand for you to hold. You can find love if you search within your soul, and the emptiness you felt will disappear...I hope that's any honnest woman out there who can feel the emty space in my heart.i'v come to learn and know that,Just because something good ends doesn't mean something better won't begin...I'm really hoping to have an honnest woman to sleep beside me at night and wake up in the morning given her a soft kiss and laughe together because,The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed..I'll be very glard to talk to you more better as i'll also love to know you more better and hope to hear back from you what you'r looking for in a man and also hope you'r looking for a long lasting relationship that will last for a life time..I'm not perfect and i'm not saying you'r either..Even when i know we are miles and miles away from one another, but I always believed that once our souls are connected to each other, the flame of our love will burn forever.. Only souls can resist death, our physical connection is meaningless...I do not care about the outside beauty...What mean to me most is the love that is inside which is what i am looking for.But it's too bad most mean dont go after this...This is just me and who i am.

I hope to hear back from you and get to know each other more better and see if there can be chemistry..But i'm very sure of this that what will be will always fined a way.

Bye for now and hope to hear back from you.

Thomas
