Hello Mr Rodney Ulysses Plonker, Thank you for your message. How is
work today i hope all is well with you and your family? And also how
about your partners who got sick i think he/she is doing well?

WHY I NEED YOUR INFORMATION


I will work on the account with your information and draft the
application letter of claim which you will complete and send to our
head office for onward approval for the transfer of the funds to any
bank account of your choice so that your name will be in the account
as the owner please try your best to give your information so that we
can start work immediately.

Thank you.

Mr Williams

Dear Williams,
Thank you for your concern for my partner's health. We are still waiting on the results of his Covid test. Things are all topsy here. As I said, I am married 3 times so your offer is most opportune. My birthday is that auspicious date on 22nd November year of our Lord 1963. I can't give you a telephone number yet as my wife might ask questions if you ring at home and we may have to close the office if my partner's test result is positive.
Let me see your draft letter. Please remind me how much you plan to share with me.

bless you

Rodney

Would it be worth setting up a fresh bank account and letting rip?

No, but that gives me an idea. I can tell him I need to set up a new account so my wives don't find out. Being a Friday that is going to take time.

Is there a National Bank of Lagos or similar?

G-CPTN:
Great minds think alike. ^:)^
I thought the same thing. Open an account at a bank that you have no prior relationship with, make the initial deposit to oped the account, and then withdraw almost all of the funds leaving just enough to keep the account open. Sit back and watch the show. A small amount for probably endless entertainment. :-bd :YMAPPLAUSE: :YMPARTY:

I checked in with him today. On Friday he said:

Hello Mr Rodney, Thank you for your message. That will be very good if
you have decided to open a new bank account.I so much love it Please
try your best to do that this week ok please.I am waiting to hear from
you soon.

Thank you.


Mr Williams

I think I may have difficulty in opening a new bank without a passport. I think my best plan is to ask him for a recommendation. Then they might require a deposit to confirm by intentions. Now if Williams was to seed the account for me, obviously he could always get it back :)

I don't know how busy he is but he is having to check our account every day which will save at least one suckers a few minutes pain.

The following is a copy of a post I made elsewhere.
Received a call on my Mobile (Cell) phone just after midday today here in Waikerie South Australia. A robot sounding Male voice informed me that it was "The Tax Office' and that my 'Tax Number' had been suspended and that I was to........

That was as far as it got. I yelled back with an invitation for the caller to involve himself in some sexual activity and travel, and hung up!

Oddly enough, the scammer's number was displayed, 0411 168 198. A report has been made to Scamwatch.
In retrospect, I wish that I had added a few more expletives in various languages. :-?

PtP, sadly most numbers are spoofed.

Last home I got a call from a Boston (Lincshire ) number I asked the pleasant gentleman where he was from, Boston Spa (Yorkshire) he said. 5 out of 10 for effort but no coconut.

Just had an e-mail, supposedly from British Gas, giving me 90 seconds to enter a competition. It was obviously a crude attempt at phishing as the BG contact address was given as Palm Beach, Florida. A little more research put the host site in Bangladesh - probably means Tower Hamlets. Passed on to the cyber spooks and deleted.
It's always my fault - SWMBO

I am getting a call every week about a car accident. Today I told her Yes, she put me through to him. When I said the accident was in 1971 he said thank you and hung up.

My car is zero-rated for VED.
Today I received an email from 'DVLA' offering a refund with 'confirmation' required.

Maybe the refund is a fixed sum - so I could perhaps benefit nevertheless?

If I don't respond will I not receive my refund?

Would you trust "mabutoweilmai-abexhbfunw@mastahmaleng.online" as a genuine official communication from Amazon regarding account settings?

I thought not . . .

I remain suspicious as a Googoo search failed to find anyone of that name.
