The farce

When I received the fake passport copy I didn't have to pretend anymore so I was able to simply fool around without any particular purpose, just waiting when exactly my counterpart will grow tired of nonsense. It would take some time but back than he was still hopeful to receive "datas".

William,

I received the scan of your passport, thank you very much! You look like a very trustworthy person. I have less and less doubts about the deal, and can't believe I was so lucky you chose me from so many people to get all this money. I talked to my lawyer friend and he told he will run the scan you just sent with his buddies in customs, he told me they have a very smart computer which can scan all passports in the world. He also told me that lawyers usually have a separate database, so it's easier to find their passports! You don't have to send me your registration number anymore.

Unfortunately my friend appears to be a little bit greedy, I thought he will help me free of charge, but he demands a cut in this deal. He actually told me that you taking 50% is substantially more than usual. So he says that he wants 10% of the deal, and it should come from your side. Meaning, 40% me, 40% you, 10% him, 10% earmark. I was furious at the beginning, but later I understood, that some people are too jealous of someone else luck,  the problem is my friend knows too much, and he threatened me he can pull some strings in Molvania police if needed. I guess that's the price to pay for being a good friend. Anyways, he's going to check your passport with customs very soon. I'm, sure it's going to be OK, and we will be able to proceed! I'm burning with anticipation.

Another not so good news, I asked my bank about what they usually do when somebody deposits money on my account. They asked why am I asking, I said no reason, just out of interest, they told me than that if it's coming from unknown source from abroad they will run a check if the money was not stolen. Than they told me my file was marked, and they will investigate every transaction for the next two years. I really hope your bank is very big, mine is the biggest in Molvania, maybe even in the world.

I have all my data written already and saved on my computer, as soon as my friend calls me, I'll send it to you!

Thanks!

My guess is that the scam artists are not prepared for such long correspondence because the language was broken more than usual on the reply I got. I was interested if William will get worried about me showing the phony passport scan, and he was indeed worried, he still was under impression I'm going to send him "datas"

Dear sir
My passport are not given to you for exposition because you have to understand that your exposure of this transaction may raise an eyebrow or suspicion.this kind of transaction must be treated with care and confidentiality.

As you gave them my passport,they may out jealousy tell you anything that may get you off the deal because they may not want you to enjoy such funds into your account.

I strongly advice that you visit here so that we may go together to the bank and you sign all the transfer papers afte the processing of the transfer,this will infact remove all your doubts because.If you really want to carryout this transaction with me,you have to send me all required datas to start now or I have to make further contacts to search a capable hand to commence this transaction because the bank gave me the end of this month or confiscate the account which automatically puts me to a loss end.

Waiting the datas urgently.

Funny how the reasoning is still there, William is trying hard to get the information, but he starts to get impatient. Further exchange will reveal more impatience, the replies will get shorter too.
