You kinda have to admire the ingenuity of these guys, and the irony of one of the wire-transfer-fraud victims being a Wall Street firm, given that collectively the Wall Street iBanks are far and away the largest fraud ring in the world, under cover of their TBTF legal immunity. "Oh, you fraudulently securitized a trillion dollars' worth of junk mortgages and sold them to unwitting investors around the world, helping to blow up the global financial system when the magnitude of the scam and the leveraged greed became too large to sustain? Here's a bunch of bailout money for you, for a job well done!"

Arrived in the fax hopper today at work.

Yeah, sure, go on. You pay all the expenses, and give me the 4.5 millions. I sign the papers. You may not believe, but I am indeed a relative of the deceased...

all that is required of you is US$180

Do that, and 'they' will willing profess to believe anything you specify. But they will keep your $180, and loot your various bank and brokerage accounts, if they are slick enough.

The paper does not say anything about me being required to pay $180. I may have skimmed it and not read it throughoutfully (is that a word?), but if so, please modify it and fax it again to me. (after which I will reply that "well, considering you will get 4M5 to yourself, you can afford to pay the $180", but let him go through the trouble of modifying sending the fax first...)

Perhaps we are talking about different scams. I was referring to
http://mersenneforum.org/showpost.ph...&postcount=202
but that is a $5.5M come-on. See the $180 late in the above post.

I see, I was talking about Unc's fax. But the idea is the same, if you can afford the time, the best way to play with these idiots is to waste as much of their time and money as possible. This way they won't have the time anymore (and the will) to scam other (i.e. innocent) people. As we (you, me, etc) are not exactly innocent, I mean we know the deal, have the knowledge, and the ways, we should just kick them around all the internet as often as we can...
