two can play this game

His subject line indicated that he'd call me. I wonder what he'll make of the "rejection line" number I used.

Hello!

I'm still waiting for a photo of you holding a sign with our motto!

TRUST AND LOVE: Formidable force

My Dear Sir,

I am most honored that you would entrust me with this sort of undertaking. As I mentioned in my previous email, I am an adult movie star. I've been looking for a way to invest my money and this sounds wonderful!

Name: Adrienne Populi
Phone: 703-912-1725
Address: 742 Evergreen Terrace
Springfield, VA 22150
Email: goawayjerk@gmail.com (I get a lot of guys who want my autograph)

I do not have a fax machine, as I've never been a big fan of technology.

Tell me more about yourself! How long have you been in the business? Are you married? I bet a wonderful man like you is married. I'm not married. It's hard to find a man who wants me for more than my body.

In order to know who I am talking to, I'd like you to send me a picture of you holding a sign with our motto: TRUST AND LOVE: Formidable force

I can't wait to hear from you soon!

Love,
Adrienne

a reply to the adult movie star profile

Remember when I posed as an adult movie star to one of the spammers? Well, he finally wrote me back! He even sounds intelligent!

As you can tell, I am still taking a break from Linda. :)

My dear friend,

I send you compliments and greetings and thank you for your email. I am glad to have received your email in an affirmative manner, and having received your email, I believe we would be able to work together to achieve success in this noble business proposal.

My manner of approach may look unconventional since you do not know me before, but I am to believe that it is a divine arrangement and not just a mere coincidence. This may look very strange to you but a lot of successful business partnership today has meet in one unusual circumstance or the other. I am as skeptical as you are but standing on the principle of trust in business venture I will want to go ahead to deal with you in this business arrangement.

My client has been an astute business guru and a notable political figure that absolutely prefers to be anonymous. Her interest in the areas I have mentioned in the first mail to you notwithstanding, you have the freedom of a choice of a possible area of venture that is lucrative enough with good returns

Note that these funds have been successfully moved out through a diplomatic courier to a security company in Europe to avoid any trace to her. You would be furnished with all relevant documents to proceed with the transaction once a mutual trust is established and we are very sure that you will be ready to further this transaction.

We hereby ask you to use your vast expertise in sourcing and negotiating for the project or business venture that you consider most lucrative with high profit yielding potentials. We will be expecting a profitability ratio of at least 15% to 20%.

To this end you will be required to make a feasibility study and write a proposal for our perusal and analysis which should be ready within a week. This proposal must dwell handsomely on the issue of return on investment marshalling out your modus operandi and also the administration of tax in your country as it will affect our returns.

Let me use this avenue to inform you that, I will be in Europe most time for the period that this deal will subsist to ensure that everything goes well and will always be speaking to you. You can get back urgently so that we can discuss on how to clear the funds from the Security Company and make adequate arrangement for the banking of the funds in your country or where ever you consider safe while we put finishing touches on your business plan.

Very importantly, we will enter into business agreement in the form of a memorandum of understanding.

I will require the following details from you; your name, profession, location, telephone and fax as well as your private email contact

Thanks in anticipation of a favourable business partnership.

Our motto shall be TRUST AND LOVE: Formidable force

Sincerely,

Quazi Hossain

she's back!

See, ignoring your spammer when they refer to you as a liar is great! They write you back! I'll reply on Monday; it'll be nice to make her wait a few days, eh?

Dear Adrienne,

Good morning.

Sorry for the late reply to your mail which I have read. I was sick for some day and I really thank God I am getting better now.

I am happy to hear from your mail that the security company sent you a mail and you have also replied them too. Please I always pray that this our transaction will conclude very soon.

AS soon as you hear from the security company, try and let me know what is the next position. I will be waiting to hear from you as soon as you received this mail so that I will know what next to do.

Wishing you a nice working day,

With love,
Linda.

love to help

I guess my other two spammers are ignoring me. How sad. Here's a new one.

From the office of:

Ms. Adrienne Populi
Managing Director/CEO Shiver's Bakeries

Dear Mr. Alaibo,

Thank you for your email.

I am very interested in your proposition as I am always looking for further investment opportunities. However unless you are able to come to meet with me in the USA then you will have to provide me with some guaranteed proof of identity before I am prepared to proceed any further. I am afraid that a passport or other ID will not be suitable as I know how easily such things are forged.

I am sorry if I appear rude to you, this is not my intention, but when it comes to matters of serious business I do not have time for niceties. I am by nature a friendly and generous man, but where business is involved you will find me deliberate and serious.

First a little information about myself and my company. My Name is Adrienne Populi and I have been working in this industry for nearly 25 years. My company is called Shiver's Bakeries and we produce high class and exclusive cakes and confectionery for sale through our 3rd party distributors worldwide. I own 5 manufacturing plants and presently our annual profits are around $8.4 million USA per year, and I employ just over 400 workers. In fact this year is a very special year for us as this is my business's 25th birthday. On August 24, 2005, my company celebrates 25 years in business.

To return to your proposition. As I have indicated, I am very interested in your proposition, but before I would be willing to proceed or give out any private information I will require that you are able to send be some definite proof of your identity on some manner that cannot be faked. As I have stated previously, a passport or other ID will not be acceptable, as we have previously had some dubious people contacting us to send us false information and passport details, so I am afraid that such identification cannot be accepted.

I am happy to help you financially in this respect if needed as being experience in business I do know that transfers of such large amounts of money may require substantial processing fees, but first you will have to prove your identity to me. I am afraid that without proof of your identity I will be unwilling to proceed. My terms above are absolutely non negotiable. I do apologise if this offends you but I have to be extremely careful when dealing with such large amounts of money and with people I have never met. I am a very wealthy man, and sadly some people try to take advantage of this fat.

This identity request may seem a little strange, but are you able to bake or purchase a large cake of any description? As I have explained above, cake making is my company's speciality, and a indisputable way to prove your identity to me would be to send a photograph of yourself holding a cake. Perhaps you could decorate the cake with a pre-agreed password? This would serve well as identification as there is absolutely no way that anyone else would be able to duplicate this and also it would be something that is associated with my company.

Again, I urge you to read the above carefully before replying to this email. I do not want to appear rude but being such a busy person I cannot afford to have my time wasted by people who do not read my emails correctly.

Thank you again for your email.

Their email:

My email:
Hello! Thank you for the compliments. I love compliments.

I'm surprised you found me through a web directory. I don't own a telephone! That's funny!

I'm an adult movie star and I get bored from time to time. Your business proposal sounds interesting. Please tell me more!

Adrienne Populi

what the hey?

Linda,

They sent me one email saying they needed documentation, which I replied to, and they have not replied to my own email.

I don't appreciate being treated this way.

Rev. Adrienne Populi

she is calling me a liar?

Dear Adrienne p,

Good evening.

Why are you sounding like these? Now you want to tell me that because that I am not a member of yourchurch you are not goiung to assist me. Remember that I told you inmy mail before that after our business transaction I will join yourministry . Anyway, that is upto you.I will wait for your response.

Remember that I have contacted the security company in Spain andthey told me on phone that they have replied your mail since now Idon't really know who is fooling who? I am waiting for your urgentresponse soon.

Have a good night,Linda.

calling her out

Let's see what she does when I tell her that we can no longer correspond.

Hello Linda,

You misread my email. I said that the Security Company has not replied to my email. I sent them an email on Thursday and they have not replied.

It is misunderstandings like this that make me hesitant to continue this any further than we have. A Security Company should reply to business emails as soon as they get them, which leads me to doubt that this is an actual company. It's been several days and they have ignored my email.

Besides which, you are still not a member of my church, so I will not be able to help you out financially. I do not believe that you are truly being honest with me.

Because of the aforementioned problems, I am going to have to end our correspondence. I wish you well in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,
Rev. Adrienne Populi

how annoying

Please try and reply them the mail today !!!

Rev. Adrienne Populi,
Good morning.

In reply to my email forward:

Please let me know the position of things !!!!!

Dear Adrienne p,
Happy weekend.
How was your night.
I have read from your poem and it is really interesting one.
I believe that all will be well in jesus name amen.
Have you hard from the security company in Spain.
What is the position of things?
I wait to hear from you soon.
Have a nice day,
With love,
Linda.

religious email forward

I decided to send her an email forward and make no mention of our "transaction." Let's see how she responds.

Dear Linda,

When I read my email this morning, I saw this poem and thought of sending it to you. Have you ever read any of Maya Angelou's poetry?

Sincerely,
Rev. Adrienne Populi

CHRISTIAN
By Maya Angelou

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’m clean livin’.”
I’m whispering, “I was lost.” Now I’m found and forgiven.

When I say…”I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not holier than thou,
I’m just a simple sinner who received God’s good grace, somehow.

So, Linda wrote me back and discussed the religious quote I had sent her:

Thank God for your understanding !!!

Dear Adrienne,

Good morning.

I am glad to read from your mail this morning and to hear that you have sent a mlail to the security company in spain. i believe as soon as they received it they will get back to you immediately.

Also , I have seen what you quote for me in your maessage to me.

Anyway, only God knows the best for us.

I know don't know anything bad in my life since I was born I have not been doing any wrong thing at all. I believe it is the will of God that both of us will come to know each other from this
transaction which have join us together and also the church which I will soon become a member of your church as soon as possible . I still want you to have that believe that hence this our transaction will go well there is nothing to stop me from been a member of your organastion immediately. Please as soon as you receive any information from the security company do not fail to let me know so that I will know what next to do.

Thanking you for your understanding and concern, while I will wait to hear from you again. May the good lord continue to guide you as you want to assist me get out of this place and have a new life.

May my God reward you amen,

With love,
Linda.

By the way, I am contacting them only because I trust you. I still cannot transfer any funds, as you are not a member of my church.

Rev. Adrienne Populi.

Good evening.

Your mail was well received with content well understood. Yes, like I have said before that whatever we both will do will determine when you will claim the trunk box from the custody of the security company in Spain , from there whatever you want from me will be well done. Remember that I have already sent my pictures to you before I don't know the one you want from me again? I have told you in my mail before that what I want from you is only to show your full interest immediately by contacting the security company in Spain. Please do let me know what you decide as soon as possible.

but she is still not a member of my church

My Dear Child,

Your story is very humbling and sad. I would most like to help you, but my faith prevents me from doing so. If you were a member of my church, there would be no problem. I could provide you with all of the financial assistance that you need.

Your photos are quite lovely. I can tell that you are an honest woman.

Have a blessed day,

Rev. Adrienne Populi

oh...she sent pictures

Dear Rev. Adrienne Populi,

How are you doing?

Hope you are fine.

Before I proceed,I will tell you more about myself,I am the only daughter of my late parent ,chief and Mrs. Linda Oily ,My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president’s political ideology, the president supporters invaded my father\'s farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. Anyway, that is a long story..

I am 22yrs,still single and was in my first year in the university when my father died which made it impossible for me to continue with my education,that is why I am contacting you so that once the money is retrieved and pay into your account,I will then come over and meet with you in your country to continue with my studies.

Please all I will want from you is to make your position known in this transaction as God have made it possible for me to come across your contact and I really know that he will not let me down. I will like you to keep this transaction to yourself , please do not exposes the transaction to people because of those that killed my father they are after my life.So I will like us to conclude this transaction within the shortest possible period ,as soon as I hear from you again I will furnish you with the contact of the security company in Europe where the consignment was deposited so that you can go ahead and contact them and they will give you their procedures on how you will visit them and claim the trunk box that contains the money after which you will open an account and pay in the money before I will come over to meet you there.

In your next mail I will like you to include your phone and fax number to enable me send across to you the concerned documents about the deposit so that you can go througgh it and confirm . I will like you to have a look at my pictures after which I will expect to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Thanking you so much for your understanding, while I wait for your response soon. Have a nice day,

With love,
Linda.

you need to convert

Hello,

Thank you for the very interesting email below. I would love to help you, however my ministry forbids me from entering any business deal with partners who are not part of our faith. I am sorry but there is nothing more I can do for you.

If you ever decide to join our faith then of course I could help you both with my experience and financial support.

I wish you well in your endeavour..

i did receive two more "nigerian scam" emails over the weekend, so expect to see some more hilarious fun later on today.

mister russell has not replied to my last email, so i decided to try and flush him out.

Dear Sir,

I am going out of town this weekend. There is a hurricane approaching. I should be back on Monday. If I do not hear from you by then, I will consider our relationship over and the deal to be off.

Sincerely,
Adrienne Populi

a new one...alas, it has bounced back already

Thank you for your email. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I was out of the country and I'm just now catching up on my emails. I'd love to help you, but I do not have a checking or savings account. I don't believe in putting money inside a financial institution. You've heard of the Stock Market Crash, right? Anyway, is it possible for you to come over here and we'll get you an account? You seem like a right good guy and I'd love to help you out.

God Bless.

Fondly,
Adrienne

Subject: Identify Proof

Dear Adrienne Populi,

I am receipt of your mail and the content herein is well understood. I will be happy if you can answer this question. I did told you in my mail that i am an American citizen as well,therefore, my question is this,can an American International Passport be faked? If no is your answer, then i will send my passport to you for confirmation, but if yes is your answer then i guess you are fake as well, sorry if i am rude to you but i have to be sincere in my dealings with you, no hard fillings.

I am trusting you because we share a common nationality an "American" if i am not serious about myself, i guess i won't be waisting my time writing to you.

Hope to hear from you. Blessed be.

Regards,

Procope Russell.


Dear Mr. Russell,

Thank you for your email, but respectfully I wish to draw your attention to my previous email.

Before I am willing to proceed with your deal I will require identification in the manner I requested in my previous email; this is that you have a new photograph of yourself taken holding a password phrase which I will decide on. I am afraid a passport or other form of ID is unacceptable because I know how very easy such items are to forge. I'm sure you're aware of the different types of photo manipulation software that is available out there, and one can never be too careful. If you are in agreement with my terms then please do let me know and I will forward complete instructions for the photograph.

I am afraid my terms above are non negotiable. If they are not to your liking then please take my advice and find another partner. I am already a very wealthy woman and I will not take any chances over my security.

Kind regards,

Adrienne Populi

regarding my last post, here's my reply

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email.

I am very interested in your proposition as I am always looking for further investment opportunities. However unless you are able to come to meet with me in the USA then you will have to provide me with some guaranteed proof of identity before I am prepared to proceed any further. I am afraid that a passport or other ID will not be suitable as I know how easily such things are forged.

I am sorry if I appear rude to you, this is not my intention, but when it comes to matters of serious business I do not have time for niceties. I am by nature a friendly and generous woman, but where business is involved you will find me deliberate and serious.

First a little information about myself and my company. My name is Adrienne Populi and I have been working in this industry for eighteen years. My company is called Populi Medical Supplies Incorporated and I am the Chief of Operations. My company specialises in manufacturing medical and food containers for use in third world famine and aid supplies. I own 5 manufacturing plants and we are one of the UK's largest suppliers of medical and food containment supplies. We supply equipment to places such as Kenya, Eastern Europe, the Far East including Malaysia, and several African countries. Presently our annual profits are around $10 million USA per year, and I employ just over 400 employees.

To return to your proposition. As I have indicated, I am very interested in your proposition, but before I would be willing to proceed or give out any private information I will require that you are able to send be some definite proof of your identity. May I suggest the following: That we agree on a password phrase, and then you get a new photograph of yourself holding a sign with the password written on it? That way I will know for certain that the person in the picture is you.

I am happy to help you financially in this respect if needed, but first you will have to prove your identity to me. I am afraid that without proof of your identity I will be unwilling to proceed. My terms above are absolutely non negotiable.

Again, I urge you to read the above carefully before replying to this email. I do not want to appear rude but being such a busy person I cannot afford to have my time wasted by people who do not read my emails correctly.

Thank you again for your email.

Adrienne Populi
Chief of Operations: Populi Medical Supplies Inc.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the kind email offer. How much money is 10 million pounds? I mean in real money, like US money, not Monopoly money. I must know before I correspond with you further.

Thank you.

so, mister scammer isn't replying to my emails. maybe he's annoyed that i gave no info. sooo...i made up some:

Hello,

Email is the best way to reach me, as my phone has been disconnected. You can try to call me, though; it should be connected this weekend. Please email me if there are any problems.

My name is Adrienne Populi

My phone number is 703-912-1725

My address is
742 Evergreen Terrace
Springfield, VA 22150

i got the name from the nametag i used to wear at wolf trap. mine was broken, so i wore "adrienne p." for awhile. people always asked what the "p" stood for, so i would make something up.

the phone number is from http://www.rejectionhotline.com. it's a valid phone number.

the address is the simpsons's street address. we all know they live in sprinfield, so why not springfield, virginia? that fits with the 703 area code. there is no 742 evergreen terrace in springfield, virginia, though, according to the us postal service. the zipcode is a valid springfield, virginia, zipcode.

edit: aw, hell. yahoo wised up and closed his account. *sniff*

i guess i sounded desperate enough in that last email.

Dear Friend,
All you have to do is that you will send you full address, name and phone nuber for easy comminication. I will send you other information about the transaction when you send me all the information I needed. Reply as soon as you get this mail.

URGENT ASSISTANCE:

Dear sir/madam,
I am Andrew Mbeki, an accountant, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in a domiciliary account opened in my bank in 1991 and since 1995 nobody has operated on this account, after going through some old files in the records.

I discovered that the owner of the account who is a foreigner, A German Mr. Wolfgang Schinister, 66 years of age and a prosperous oil\Gold merchant had in our Bank the sum of $19.3 million in a domiciliary account. Unfortunately, he was killed in the recent plane crash involving concord AF4590 in Gonesse, France.

Efforts had been made by the management of my Bank through the German Embassy in Pretoria South Africa to contact any of the deceased children but to no avail and without any traceable next of kin.

If I do not remit this money out urgently it will be re-channeled into the bank's reserve that is the reason I sent the money to the security company where the fund is depossited in Europe.

I am seeking for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide an existing bank account or person who can be able to go to Europe immediately to receive this fund which I deposited in the security company.

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved for a local account, but the fund can only be approved to any foreigner or into a foreign account. Please, Reply as you get this mail to this email addres (an_mbeki@yahoo.com). Thanks.

Best regard;
Mr.Andrew Mbeki.

i wrote back and said i was interested and wanted to know what i had to do.


Dear Frind,
I received your mail.Yes,All you have to do is provide an account in your country where this funds will be transfered to.You may not need to travel to Europe anymore because the inheritance funds has been transfered to an African paying Bank which can conveniently transfer the inheritance directly into your account.

Definitely, I will send to you documentary proofs of this funds tomorrow as soon as I get my scanner fixed in my office. You will send your full information to me, like your name, contact address and phone numbe for easy comminication.

As soon as you respond to this email,I will send to you an application letter which you will fill and send to the paying Bank (IBTCGROUP) for them to start the immediate release of your fund into your designated account in your country. Await your fast response.

Regards,
Mr Andrew Mbeki
