Nigeria Scam Funny
Yesterday I was talking to a "female" that claimed to be working in Nigeria and needed money for a plane ticket home to Los Angeles. I seem to get this from someone new every month, and they are always in Nigeria. So I decided to mess with them a little.
The following is our conversation, verbatim. I have not altered anything.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Me:
hi
Kathleen Hill:
i am not happy
Me:
y?
Kathleen Hill:
because i need some money to return back to the state
Me:
what r u going to do?
Kathleen Hill:
dont know
i am done with my project here
and i need some money to balance up my ticket fee
Me:
y didnt you buy a round trip ticket when u first went out there?
Kathleen Hill:
didnt know
Me:
didnt know what?
Kathleen Hill:
didnt know i will be in this mess
Me:
i dont understand, u didnt know that you would need to fly back to the states? what were going to do? swim?
Kathleen Hill:
what i mean is i didnt know i will be in this mess #
or i would have gotten a return ticket
Me:
can u ask the people there for some money?
Kathleen Hill:
i have tried but only the hotel manager gave me some
Me:
how much?
Kathleen Hill:
i need $1,800
and he gave me $1,000
now i need $800
Me:
wow he gave you $1,000? what did u have to do to get $1,000?
Kathleen Hill:
nothing
i showed him my check and explained everything to him
Me:
is there another hotel across the street? maybe you can get the hotel owner there to give you the other $800?
Kathleen Hill:
what do you mean
Me:
I'm sure there is more than one hotel in Nigeria. u got $1,000 from one guy. Maybe the other guy can give you $800 and then you'll be all set.
Kathleen Hill:
bye
dont talk to me again
Me:
why not?
im just trying to help
Kathleen Hill is Available
Me:
how come u havent asked me to give u money?
Kathleen Hill is Available
Kathleen Hill:
are you there
Me:
yeah
Kathleen Hill:
i didnt ask you for money because i dont want you to think bad of mee
Me:
u told me not to talk to u aggain
Kathleen Hill:
are you turning me to be a berger
Me:
i dont know what a berger is, so how could i be turning you into one?
Kathleen Hill:
can you help me
Me:
well i can't give you 800, i could probably do like 200
Kathleen Hill:
can you please make it $400
Me:
i dont have that much
Kathleen Hill:
$300?
Me:
i dont have that much either
Maybe if I get a second job...
Kathleen Hill:
ok will you be able to send the $200 today
Me:
no the bank closes in 15 minutes
why dont you give me your bank account number and i will deposit it for you in the morning?
Kathleen Hill:
the best way to senf it is using western union
Me:
what is that?
Kathleen Hill:
western union money transfer
it is the best way to send money world wide
Me:

Kathleen Hill:
it is a money transfer ...

are you there
Me:
yeah, so what is your western union account number?
Kathleen Hill:
you dont need an account
Me:
how do i get you the money?
Kathleen Hill:
what you need is my address to send money on
Me:
address? ok whats your address? how does that work?
Kathleen Hill:
all you need to do is go to any western union outlet around you and tell them you want to send money
Me:
oh hey, i just remembered, i have frequent flyer miles. that could help you get a cheaper ticket. what airline are you using?
Kathleen Hill:
klm

i have paid some money for the ticket already
what i need now is to balance up and i hop in the plane
so i do not need any help from frequent flyer
are you there
Me:

Kathleen Hill:
can you go send the money now
Me:
my bank closes at 5, so it just closed 9 minutes ago
i will have to go in the morning
so what is your address?
i can't address the letter to "nigeria, africa"
Kathleen Hill:
you send it to the hotel manager
Name: David Clark Address: 112 hotel road City: ijaye State: lagos Zipcode: 23401 Country: Nigeria
Me:

Kathleen Hill:

Kathleen Hill:

Me:
i can look it up here but im about to eat dinner and then go to work, so i dont think i will make it tonight
but dont i need to get money from my bank, how does western union know where to take the money from?
Kathleen Hill:
all you need to do is take the money to their location and provide them with my address that you want to send money
you will be given a form to fill and once the money is sent
you will be given a receipt
it is on the receipt you will find a 10 digit number which is called the Money Transfer Control Number
Me:

------------------------------------------------------
Today I called the number and some guy answered. I asked for room 34, Kathleen Hill. He said "hold on" then said "ok, here is Kathleen" then a pause then I heard a voice that sounded like a foreign guy trying a pathetic attempt at making a girls voice say "hi, this is Kathleen." Anway, my cell phone was having a hard time keeping a connection and this person wasn't responding to my questions so I just hung up.
The End.
