There for a second, I thought I had been emailed by Doctor Chumbawumba. Sadly, no. I feel like breaking out the logic stick and playing the affronted, frustrated victim who has been trying to get their payment for some time.

Why would I need to PAY a FEE for ACCEPTING what YOU FUCKING OWE ME? And by the way, Cletus, a damned credit card doesn't expire for at least four years, and the issuing bank will automatically send you a replacement card. You're full of shit.

I love how he threatens to cancel the credit card I don't have. Next, he'll be threatening to take away my allowance.

DONT BE STUPID WHILE ADDRESSING PEOPLE LIKE ME.DO YOU THINK THAT WE HAVE TIME FOR YOUR MORE ARGUEMENTS?DONT BE STUPID OVER THIS MATTER.JUST FLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND STP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS.ARE MY THE PERSON WHO CONTACTED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE?WAS IT NOT THE CREDITCARD OFFICE NDER THE DIRECTIVES FROM DR.

PAUL REEZ AND STOP INSULTING PEPLE LIKE ME OTHERWISE,I WILL CANCEL YOUR APPROVED CREDITCARD AND SET IT TO BLOCKAGE FOR USES.
THANKS
DR.CHUMA UBA


Oh, I've got plenty of time for arguments. And for insulting "people like you". He was so angry, he even sent me the above twice.

Once again, I'm playing an affronted victim here, so the views expressed are totally imaginary, but about what I would imagine a victim jerked around for months might express.

It's not a stupid question. Why on God's little green earth should I have to pay anything to get what's owed to me? You were supposedly ordered to pay me what I'm owed, so pay it already. Get Paul Reez to pay the fucking fee, or the Nigerian government. The bunch of deadbeat bastards.

Yes, I do.

WHOM DO YOU THINK YOU ARE.


I'm the person OWED SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS.

PLEASE,YOU BETTER CONTACT DR. PAUL REEZ AND STOP INSULTING PEPLE LIKE ME OTHERWISE,I WILL CANCEL YOUR APPROVED CREDITCARD AND SET IT TO BLOCKAGE FOR USES.

Then cancel it, asshole. You probably couldn't figure out how to cancel a card if your sorry little life depended on it. That would take a speck of competence. You want a fee, get it out of the assholes who owe me the money.

He tries to stomp off in affronted fashion and play hard to get, but goofs. My baiter name is obviously a female name. Unless you're a scammer...

MR. *baiter name*,
WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR YOUR CARD PAYMENT,THEN,YOU CONTACT ME IN A GOOD MANNER.
THANKS

Ahem.


I'm not a MAN, you IDIOT! Any simpleton knows that *baiter name* is a female name. Shows what you know. If you really worked for a bank, you would know that.

So, cue the automaton requests for money.

We have endorsed your creditcard and it is now ready for usage.I have also packaged the whole informations as i awaits for you to send down our acceptance fee of $350usd only to Mr. CLETUS OKEKE as we earlier advised,then.we shall despatch your approved card to your below home address without further delay today.We have reported to Dr.Paul Reez over your delay before the card expires.

What happened to all those threats to cancel my card if I didn't play nice?

I decide that I'm going to be a bit suspicious of this sudden 180.

And what credit card would this be? There isn't a credit card, because you lot and Paul Reez are a bunch of scammers. And morons. But mostly scammers.

And here's where the scammer makes the mistake of trying to be clever. He copies "Dr. Paul Reez" on this response to me.

ATTENTION DR.PAUL REEZ
UK.CREDITCARD OPERATIONS
AND MONITORING UNIT.

DR. CHUMA UBA.(DIRECTOR)

I love how my character got a sex change halfway through. Honestly, scammers are usually such utter failures at recognizing/remembering that they're corresponding with females that I'm beginning to wonder how they ever manage to reel in a real female victim on anything but a romance scam. You can yell "I'm a girl!" at them every mail and they still can't keep it straight.

I decide to remain "skeptical".

Stop faking like you're actually asking a question of anyone but another scammer, you nitwit. There is no credit card, and you're nothing official in Nigeria unless it's the Official Piece of Scamming Dogshit On The Sole Of The Nation.

The scammer goes for the "if you don't behave, I'm giving your toy to little Billy instead" approach.

I am preparing to send your card to another person in America.I can see that you are not serious over this.Another person have puting dow application of change over.
Thanks

So... yeah... right. The scammer expects me to believe that a government agency not only pays out multi-million dollar contracts by sending you a credit card you can use at the ATM, they expect me to believe that if you are naughty, your card will be sent to someone else. Uh. Huh.

So, in other words, you admit you're completely full of shit. If you really owed me money that was mine, you WOULDN'T be sending MY card to someone else in America. You're a complete and total fraud. You're don't even earn the title "scammer". REAL scammers would actually be good enough to convince someone and make some money. I bet you have to lick the road clean with your tongue to pick up some web cafe money.

Funnily enough, the tune changes, the singer is switched out, but otherwise, it's the same song, second verse. My sex also seems to change more than those lizards in Jurassic Park...

Anyway, I guess they figure if I don't buy this crap from Dr. Chumbawumba, maybe I'll believe Paul Reez. Not. Likely.

You can't use a Mastercard in any of my local ATMs. I would prefer a Visa. They have better customer service, too.

We were instructed to program the creditcard with the withdraw limit of $50,000usd per a day

I don't think the ATMs around here are going to have that much cash in them. And my purse isn't that big.

and after our much struggles to raise the limit with the mpv2.6 high upgrading machine.

Fascinating! I've only ever seen the 2.4. Could you send me a picture of the 2.6?

I'll do that. Did Dr. Chumbawumba coat it in zinc like those lottery scratch-off tickets or something? Will I need a quarter to scrape it off?

I prefer Visa. Can I get Visa? And you should already have my home address.

Contact Dr. Chuma Uba and Prof Emeawah( nigeria_republic1960@yahoo.com).And ( proffessor_emeawah@yahoo.co.uk).

What are you doctors/professors of, Dr. Chumbawumba and Professor Eamywah?


Beats me what Paul Reez is trying to accomplish here... He claims I've received something I definitely haven't. Maybe he doesn't know what "receive" means.

SIR,
WE WERE INFORMED BY DR. CHUMA UBA AND PROF.EMEAWAH THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR CREDITCARD.PLEASE,READ THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USES.IF THERE IS ANY UNCLEARED OPERATIONS,YOU LET ME KNOW.
THANK YOU
DR.REEZ.

Meh, I'm feeling playful.

No, I haven't, because the idiot asked for a fee for it, which is ridiculous. There's no reason why I should pay to get money that's owed to me. That proved you lot are a bunch of scammers. You can all go hop on some heated steel spikes, for all I care. You're not getting any money from me.

Paul Reez is still a moron. The CC is SoonToExpireOMG!

Sir,
Your card will soon expire.Contact Dr. Chuma Uba/Prof.Emeawah immediately
65days has gone from the issued date.You have to pick up your card and start uses.
Thanks
Dr. Paul Reez(Creditcard Operations and Monitoring Unit UK).

But I thought I had already received it! And how am I going to get all those mill-yuns and mill-yuns I'm owed if I'm restricted to $5000 a day for 65 days? That's a mere $325,000! That won't even get me a manicure!

Dear Moron, I am not a "sir", and what part of my last message which read "asking for money in order to pay me money that is rightfully owed to me proves you are a bunch of fucking scammers" are you having trouble understanding? Have a small, brain-damaged monkey explain the really hard words to you.

I don't hear anything for a month or so.

I ask a logical question.

Well, where is my card?

Unfortunately, the prod doesn't produce any response.
