So i was going through my mailbox for some documents and I came across this mail by one Mr Peter Von using the mail petervon@mail.com in my spam box, proposing to sponsor my business plan, I immediately laughed at his foolishness since I never applied or asked anyone to sponsor my business

so i decided to waste this man's time since I had a lot of free time, so I replied him saying i was very much interested, and we should talk more so we can know each other better, this was the fools reply

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/qlrukod.jpg[/img]

So i said, Wow!! 100 million? The mumu never see anything first, he even put up a US phone number, well, as a sharp guy, and one who has had some level of travel experience due to my job, I have lots of friends around the world, so I asked one of my close friends who is American but living in England, to contact the number for me and see if it is possible to know who has that number, she told me that the number was not even existing.

Well, I decided to continue fooling this fool, so i asked him to tell me more about himself and he sent a full biography saying he is divorcing, he does not want to loose much, bla bla bla, in my mind, I was saying "of only this guy knew he is just wasting his time"

So i asked if we could Skype cos he seemed like a very nice person and this was his response

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/rrs7g6y.jpg[/img]

Well, he asked for my business plan, at that point, I felt like blasting him immediately instead of wasting my time continuing this fruitless conversation, plus, continuing will mean me writing a business plan which I don't have the strength or time for, but i just thought, there will be countless business plan templates free online, why don't I just get one and send to this fool?

I quickly Googled it and got some doc templates, used the replace feature on notepad to replace the name of the default company on the template to that of "SWAGALICIOUS FLIKZ" which is my video production company and sent it to him

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/qt3jtkg.jpg[/img]

man didn't even read anything, the document said "1% interest per anum" but this fool was proposing "3% per anum" and didn't even bother about the massive reduction in interest rate, he just signed and sent back, that was the second red flag i got.

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/qwvmyhw.jpg[/img]

the first was that he moved from petervon@mail.com, to petervonn@yandex.com which I know is a Russian mail provider and it was highly unlikely that a US citizen with all of his/her pride and the trade/power tussle with Russia, will abandon Gmail for a yandex mail, it was a massive red flag, well, he asked if i had a lawyer to facilitate things, and i will be taking a loan of 10.1M dollars, i saw that as a perfect opportunity to "scam the scammer", I told him that my lawyer was an ex presidential aspirant so as to win his trust more, and the cost is about 50 dollars, sadly, he immediately replied with this.

I got very annoyed and wanted to open up and lay curses on him, but the spirit just said I should continue so I can use my experience to warn others on this new smart trick.

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/kwzorls.jpg[/img]

So i agreed i was gonna shoulder the cost.

His next reply shocked me, this man sent me sensitive documents about the man whom they were impersonating, or probably working with, his passport data page, address, and full banking details in the man's name, impressive!!

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/u-gpob-ry-d.jpg[/img]

I had to draw the lines on the passport, else, I may be giving more scammers more documents to work with

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/wjtqcpf.jpg[/img]

He asked me to add the details to the loan Treaty, I didn't even do it, but he never complained, another red flag.

Well, I again asked that we Skyped, and he didn't reply me for the next 2 days, only to reply later saying that he was on the sea, bla bla bla, (NOTE- most scammers are always unable to do video calls due to one reason or the other)

Plus, he suddenly changed him mind about partnership and wanted to give a loan now.

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/wywo2eq.jpg[/img]

Well, everything was set for funding at last, I was eager to see how this will end.

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/0qlzzi4.png[/img]

He said he has asked his accountant officer to credit me and i should contact him using markrogers@jpmc-consults.com, since I am also into website development, I knew how to follow domains in custom web mail, so I immediately tried to visit the site jpmc-consults.com which came out blank, another big loophole, but these guys are really smart, they make sure they input the phone numbers of the country they claim to be in in all their mails.

Well, I contacted the supposed account officer saying he should send the money into my Domiciliary account in Nigeria, and this was his response

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/yyuirmt.png[/img]

Note that JP Morgan Chase is a legit financial service provider and these scammers are smart enough to use the banks original website, and address in their emails, but never the banks original contact information. Anyways, I again followed the domain in the web mail and it was an unparked domain

They redirected me to another legit bank in Sweden (Nordea) and used the original banks website and address but inputted their own scam web mail, they even constructed a mail footer signature and disclaimer which was poorly done.

Well, here comes the part I have been waiting for, HOW THEY INTEND GETTING MONEY FROM ME

I contacted the scam Nordea bank and they said

With their poorly designed footer

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/qbed6ul.png[/img]

I wanted to show them that I am a typical smart Nigerian, so I told them

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/ftgnk9d.jpg[/img]

Which I really did have.

I also told him that my friend has opened an account for me in my name in Stockholm and I will give them the details shortly, I gave them a random account number.

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/qg9p1fz.jpg[/img]
[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/hjwu6xg.jpg[/img]

They never replied me again until after some days, I had to ask that question they so much wanted "What does it take to have an account with you?"

My brothers and sisters, come and see text book stories that these fools sent me

At this point I got very annoyed, up to $10,000? That is crazy, and some people may fall for this o, in all these, I was praying and hoping it was not a Nigerian behind all these, but unfortunately, I was not disappointed, after blasting the idiot.

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/ky2ifb9.jpg[/img]

he replied me with a typical Nigerian way

[img]https://storyworth.files./2019/10/mc4igru.jpg[/img]


I felt pity for Nigeria as a country and our image, I have been to a few countries before and I have had interactions with people from all over the world and they all share 1 thing about Nigerians, we are scammers, does it mean that our youths can not just work hard and get what they work for? Anyways, I don't blame them, when they have people like Naira marley as their mentor, it will not come as a shock

Lalasticlala this needs to be on the front page so people can be more aware of these trick.

I have no idea why nairaland is refusing to accept hotlinking of images
