    Ok so here was my reply to Tim... time to tighten the vice i think... lets see how he deals with pressure....
    Hello my bestest friend,

    Do not worry about the delay in reply.. we can get past this. Any good relationship has its ups and downs and this is to be expected.
    I am glad you are busy with work.. It shows you are a hard worker, and well deserving of your promotion.
    Some people though Tim, I'm sure you'll agree, don't deserve promotions...
    A perfect example of this is Billy on the first floor. He has done nothing but kiss bottoms since his arrival at this company 17 years ago this week.
    He spends all day trying to sweet talk managers and supervisors, he sickens me with his bull-poop. I am only working at this company a few months but I have never seen anyone with such a brown mouth.
    Billy was recently promoted also, but he didnt deserve it one bit, I think he is a fudge-packer Tim. Do you know the meaning of this?
    It means he packs fudge... not the tasty kind either Tim.
    Nonetheless Billy has been given the promotion and is now in charge of the first floor toiletries and sundries. I hate him.

    So anyway... The pictures you have sent me of Hana and yourself are somewhat confusing.
    The birth cert looks nothing like the birth cert i received from Jim (see attached).
    I can only assume that the United Kingdom, which is in England going by the document, does not have proper paper for this sort of document.
    Also the pictures of yourself and hanna... although adorable are puzzling.
    Puzzling because in your original photos you sent me - Hannah has no brown stripe down her forehead.
    In the pictures now, HanaH has a stripe.
    Are you sure these are the same Hananah?

    Im getting more and more worried Tim.
    Jim has told me if there is any issues that we should both contact him with any questions.
    Is it ok for me to pass on your details to Jim so that he may contact you? He has a few questions for you I believe...
    I hope this would be ok and we can get the threesome started as soon as possible.

    I look forward to sending you the adoption money as soon as we can get this sorted..
    I will also increase the money to €350 as I apologise for the delay, I hope you can forgive me Tim, I need to be sure I can trust fully.

    Also please always remember that I like you as a friend more than Jim, Jim sometimes talks funny and I find it hard to understand him.

    Kind regards,
    Your only friend,
    Steve

    I also attached a picture i doctored using MSPaint.. even with paint I did a better job than Tim, I apologise also for my delay in putting this up.. but it was rather difficult to get Robert Mugabe's signature into the document and make it look convincing :eek:

    Damn... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 740 ✭✭✭junior_apollo


    Timm-ah is back emailing anyway.. looks like I've got him good again...

    Here is his latest response...:
    Hello my best Friend,
    The pictures are i sent to you are recent pictures i took with Hanna so there is nothing to worry about because i came across the internet to locate a good home for hanna not deceive nor to tarnish my image so you just have to trust me as well as i do trust you and i promise you that you will not regret doing this.You should understand that i am a very responsible man i will not like you to share my email address to other people.Instead i will like you you to give me Jim's email address so that i can contact him.You should understand that you are my very good friend and i am not going disappoint you because apart from hanna i love you as a friend.Dear friend i must confess that what you told me about Billy is very Funny and it makes me laugh.He must be a very funny guy.Hanna is doing well ok.Greet everybody in your family for me and tell them that hanna is doing well.
    Waiting to read from you soon.
    Thanks.

    Queue my alter ego... Jimm-ah... to make an appearance..

    Oh this could go on forever!.. haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭Mr. Gruff


    apart from hanna i love you as a friend
    Looking good...
    ... as a friend

    My reply to Tim, I've blocked out my email address just for this post but its an alternative one for me which doesnt contain my name... :)

    I also hope ye enjoy humming for the afternoon with me.. coz now i have the song stuck in my head...

    Heya Tim,

    Thanks for the mega-quick reply.. this is good as we can get a lot more done with quick replies..
    I trust you like a Catholic priest is trusted in a creche my friend.. that is why I believe you when you tell me your truths.

    I think Jim is a little bit weird and perhaps he is not telling me the whole truth.. I have not seen health documents for Briannah but he assured me he will send them to me soon.
    His email address is xxxxxxxx@yahoo.com, he said that it is ok for me to give you his email address.

    Please let me know what you say to him and what he says to you and soon we can find out the truth. The truth shall set us free Tim.
    I want to break free from Jim's lies, he's so self satisfied I don't need that, I want to break free.
    God knows Tim, God knows I want to break free. I've fallen in love with Hannah, I've fallen in love for the first time with a capuchin,
    And this time I know it's for real, I've fallen in love, yeah. God knows, you know Tim I've fallen in love.
    It's strange but it's true, I can't get over the way you love me like you do, But I have to be sure
    When we walk out that door, Oh how I want to be free, baby Hanah, Oh how I want to break free,
    Oh how I want to break free!
    But life still goes on, I can't get used to, living without, living without, living without Hannah by my side
    I don't want to live alone, hey Tim you knows, got to make it on my own, So Tim can't you see
    God knows, gods know, gods know I want to break free.

    I hope to hear from you again soon,
    Thank your for everything,
    Your one and only friend,
    Steve

    Tim is now replying quickly to me by the way...

    It'd be funny if a bunch of people on boards.whatever were pretending to set someone up to buy a monkey...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 740 ✭✭✭junior_apollo


    From Tim:
    My best Friend,
    Thanks very much for getting back to me.As i told earlier,you just have to trust me as well as i do trust you and i promise you that you will never regret doing this because i am a person of my words and i know the pains it may caused to someone to pay for something and at the end do get what he has paid for.I promise you that you will not regret doing this because i am also considering our friendship and the love you have Hanna.I promise you that someday Hanna will be in your arms OK.Just keep on believing that Hanna is yours and i promise you that you will not regret it.So how is your day Today?I hope everything is moving on well.
    Thanks and i will be waiting to read from you soon.
    Thanks.

    I gotta run out the door, and wont have access to my work emails until monday again... so I just sent Tim a mail to say similar...

    I will however have access to my yahoo alternate account so perhaps Tim will email me there ... and I can try to gain his trust as a fellow 'scam' artist - Jim...

    Any info i get ill be sure to drop by and update ye all... enjoy ye're weekends,
    -Jr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 740 ✭✭✭junior_apollo


    I received this email from "JIM" :eek:
    From his name at yahoo.com
    Hello Steve
    This Jim from Cameroon and i am writing you regarding the monkey you want adopt from me.I am very sorry to write to you through a different email address but the problem here is that i don't want you to contact me through my first email address again because i have just lost the password of that address.I went to an internet caber that has spy ware so my password was stolen there and i don't want you to reply to any mail coming from that address again because those who stole the address may use it to contact you and i don't want that to happened.You should delete every mail coming from that address because i am no longer the user.You should SPAM the address so that you should have no access to it again ok.This is my new email address so i wish that you should contact me using this address ok.I appreciate your concern and as for your monkey Briannah,she is doing extremely well.
    Please get back to me asap.
    Jim

    Now my first thoughts here were... ok which one of the lads has sent me an email to take the p!ss...

    BUT then it dawned on me...

    This was TIM!... pretending to be my fictional character Jim in order to ruin my deal with Jim (even though it didnt exist) and take control of dealings from both sides...

    The crafty bugger!...

    Im rather impressed if the truth be told...
    Incase people dont remember.. Jim doesnt actually exist.. I created him last week.. but Tim obviously thinks he's being muscled out of a client... :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 740 ✭✭✭junior_apollo


    And to be honest I was ready to give up today and not bother with Tim anymore as he was starting to bore me.. but that move on Tim's part was legendary... I SO have to keep this going now...

    Never give in... never surrender... :cool:

    PS - the reason I know both are Tim.. is the IP address is the same from Jim's emails as Tim's emails...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 170 ✭✭TobyZiegler


    Brilliant! Ah Tim the cute hoor, I didnt think he had it in him! Fair play to you for this very entertaining enormous waste of Tim's time.:D

    Brilliant! Ah Tim the cute hoor, I didnt think he had it in him! Fair play to you for this very entertaining enormous waste of Tim's time.:D

    Well now Tim is gonna have to use his split personality to try and scam me from two people.. which should get funny.. especially when he has to choose which one of the two people he would rather win me.. haha...

    Let the games begin! :D


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,702 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    If you want to really confuse him, bcc to Jim's email and to Tim's email. He wont know which is which and will have to reply!

    Well get the country right first, its actually Cameroon.

    You big racist :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,351 ✭✭✭Sean Quagmire


    Jr.Apollo emails tim (the scammer) pretending to want to buy the monkey to lure him in and waste his time.
    JA emails tim saying that he has decided to buy a monkey off a friendly Cameroon gentleman call jim (JA made him up). Tim the scammer now thinks that another scammer, or guyman as they call each other, is stealing his job.

    Tim emails JA pretending to be Jim (the fictional character) telling him not to deal with him thus making JA deal with Tim.

    All about wasting his time and winding him up. What we do need though is scammer-to-scammer chat. i.e get sending him mails pretending to be a fellow guyman chopping his dollar (like my email a few pages back). This way we can see what his motives are.

    fair play lads.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭kazza90210


    Just spent ages reading this thread absolutely hilarious!!! well done guys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 740 ✭✭✭junior_apollo


    Ok so today i finally got to speak to "Jim"... my imaginary friend who Tim stole on me...
    Hi Jim,

    I feel like this is the first time we have ever spoken, but of course this isnt true... thats a crazy idea.

    I am really sorry to hear about your unfortunate mishap regarding your email account.
    It reminds me of this one time I went to Oakwood in Wales. Ya see we were camping in the Fethard-on-Sea area of Wexford (you should look into camping it is great fun).
    We arrived on the saturday and spent the entire day and evening setting up camp and getting the foundations for everything sorted.
    Sunday was very much the same, finishing off anything else we had not completed the previous day.
    It was hard work Jim, but I'm sure you know all about hard work, what with you being a Waste Process Engineer for your local Nuclear Reactor...
    You promised in your last email you would tell me EXACTLY what your job entails.. I am very interested to hear more about your job.
    Please tell me all about it. I also hope your children are doing well.
    Please tell Calista, Shani'qua, Joanna, Crystal, Valence, and Jacinta that I said hi and that they are very lucky to have you as a loving husband.

    I received the birth-cert you sent me and I thank you for this. In return I sent the €100 as you requested to your account, which you said u received with no problems.
    Hopefully you will now send me the rest of Briannah's documentation.
    I would like to see her health certs please and would also like some pictures of her.
    If you could also send me your identification I will send the remainder of the money to you (€375) to the same account.

    So on the monday we were finished all the work which needed to be done to complete the campsite and we decided to hit the beach.
    Do you live near a beach Jim?... I am not sure of the Cameroonian geography except that you are bordered by Nigeria, Zimbabwe and New Zealand.
    It must be a very beautiful country Jim... I would like to visit some day.

    You would like my country too.. it has very beautiful scenery. There is a lot of poverty here though Jim.
    Some people cannot afford to travel properly here and as a result they must drive their own cars to places like the shopping mall and schools instead of using drivers and home schooling.
    I can only assume you had the finest of home schooling also Jim, your english is very good. You done learned good Jim... you done learned good.

    After the beach we were all pretty tired and decided to hit the arcades for a spell before returning to camp. We spent a lot of money on the machines and some people decided to phone home or email friends and family using Bebo.
    Do you have a bebo account Jim? We could become bestest friends and write notes to each other on our 'walls' and we could upload pictures of ourselves n4ked for everyone to see.

    One of the kids, Kim, was using her bebo account but forgot to sign out before leaving her machine.. as a result her account details were stolen and 'someone' started sending messages to everyone on her friends list.
    Poor Kim did not know of these procedings and as a result everyone thought that she was a closet thespian.. could you believe that Jim.. a thespian!..
    Do you know any thespians? I do.. her name is Kim.

    You'd like Kim.. well, better make that you 'would have' liked Kim. That was before she became pregant at 14 and had her first child. I say first because she has had a number over the years now.
    She is currently on child number 6 at the age of 23 and lives off the social welfare and benefits. She is also a crack-heroin addict. Crack heroin is much more addictive than any other substance as I'm sure you are aware...
    You were lucky people didnt start sending emails to others in your address book. It was very nice of the peoply who stole you account to not do anything with it infact.
    Bit puzzling why they stole it at all actually...

    Nonetheless this bring me to my point of this email:
    How much is a carton of milk in your local Tesco?

    I await your documents and immediately your additional money will be on its way to you soon,
    Kind regards,
    Your new friend,
    Steve

    While i was writing that I got contact from "Tim"... *Keep up people this is gonna get confusing mighty quick!*

    Hello Steve.
    I am so very happy to hear from you, So we can get things done this time.I have contacted Jim with the email address you gave to me and he did not responded so i don't know what is going on.But why do want me to be contacting him?this is not really necessary.I have enough time this week so i prefer that we should just get everything done so that hanna can come to you this week because as from next week i will be very busy.So you should just think about it and get back to me and let me know.So how was your trip?i hope everything is moving on well.As for me i am doing fine.Greet everybody in your family for me and i hope to read from you soon.
    Your best friend
    TIM

    Ill go write a reply to Tim.. Ill be back...

    For new-comers to this thread I started my journey on page 6 .. wow.. i cant believe this has lasted so long.. as i said.. i was ready to give up yesterday.. until Jim arrived from my imagination to contact me. If you think about it .. I created life with merely a thought... I should be careful of the things I think from now on! :eek:
    Imagine the possibilities... NO WAIT! DONT!.. be careful... think happy thoughts.. think happy thoughts.. :P

    Im so glad i have something constructive to do in work now as a result today... :D

    I replied to Tim just now...

    I decided to concentrate my inventive emails on Jim.. and finally tighten the vice on Tim... As Stewie would say... Where's my money man?... I just want my money...
    Hi Tim,

    How was your weekend?
    I believe Jim's email address was stolen over the weekend and as a result his new email address is xxxxxxxx@yahoo.com
    Jim has been really helpful in your absence.. and he has sent me a lot of information and documentation regarding his monkey.
    I have placed a deposit with Jim for his monkey yesterday.

    I have been speaking with my acquantance Peter again and he would like me to continue my adoption of Hannah with you also and he will care for her like a second cousin once removed.
    So in that light I would ask that you do the same procedure as per my transaction with Jim. You will need to send €50 to my account to verify your account details and then I will send the deposit of €100 plus your €50 in return.

    Once this has been done I would like you to then send Hannah and on her arrival I will send on the additional €300 to your account and then we can continue as life long friends forever and ever Tim.
    I look forward to this day... And perhaps we can visit each other also.

    Please send me your address so that I may send you my account details for the tranfer of the money,
    If there is any problems please do not hesitate to contact me immediately.

    Kind regards,
    Steve


    Lets see this worm squirm... :D
