Ampe dia (si pengirim) masuk ke chat guwe and terjadilah chating dadakan (tentunya pake bahasa Enggris donk, scara gitchu tamatan Sastra Inggris tapi yang paling bodo di kelas he he). Blah… blah.. blahhhh…. Awalnya guwe hina dia dan juga menanyakan dari mana dia tahu email koe. Selanjutnya tak pancingin juga dengan berpura-pura bego dan mau ngirim identitas guwe. Pas nyampe di urusan id Account di Bank, eh dia malah ngotot, nyuruh paksa lagi buwat accountnya di negara guwe karena sebelumnya guwe bilang ga punya satupun. Tak suruh transfer ke Paypal (lumayan kalo benar dapet uang nyasar) dia ga mau and sengaja mengalihkan. Makhluk aneh loe ! ! !

Oh ya, tak cek juga bank email address-nya boabfasonetbnk@ubbi.com, guwe ketik di address bar trus dialihkan oleh sistemnya secara otomatis ke ubbi.com. Eh malah muncul situs aneh yang ga mencirikan Bank tapi agak Porn gitu dech. . .

Nech ada juga pembuktian laen dari negeri antah berantah yang ngalamin kasus hampir sama ama guwe:

My Nigerian pen pals.

Have you ever received an email from a stranger in Nigeria promising you millions of dollars? – You should just delete it, because it is a pack of lies.

However, some people answers them, and they soon find out that they have to pay some fee in order to get the millions. Then comes the second fee, and the third fee, etc etc. No one has ever received the millions, but many have lost a lot of money, and some have even got killed.

This so called “Advance Fee Fraud” has become an industry in Nigeria, and the surrounding countries. Another common name is “419 fraud” after Section 419 of the Nigerian Penal code, the section that specifically prohibits this type of crime.

The fraud is difficult to stop, but we can have some fun, and have the criminals use their time in vain. That is called scambaiting.

If you are new to this sport, I will recommend you to look at the links-page.

Have fun,

Miss Young
