Calvin: Shawnee Mission Northwest High '01

Okay, that's really weird and f*cked up -- I graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High in '00.

That's actually a pretty good scam. And good on the guy for being suspicious before automatically wiring 900 bucks.

Information that still fails to answer the "What was our mascot" question. I think everyone from your high school is scammy. That's right, I said it. And I'm sticking to it.

Insisting on doing a transaction over Western Union is starting to ring a few bells, especially when there are alternative (and traceable, and recoverable) alternative methods of sending money to another person.

Evan: i must go tunde

Wow, me too! But I'm stuck at an internet cafe in Paris right now... Can you loan me $900?

Wouldn't this whole scam fall apart when Evan was asked to send the money transfer to some dude named Tunde instead of Calvin? This plan. Methinks he did not think it all the way through.

Or when he realized it was sending to Nigeria not England.

I'm in the middle of farking with one of those scammers. I got a fake email account and a free online voice mail/fax that emails the faxes/voicemails to my gmail account. This shiat is going to be fun.

No.

1. Fake IDs aren't very hard to make.
2. Western Union doesn't require the person picking up to have the right name, IIRC.

Western Union has a way of sending money to people that have had their ID stolen (which I'm sure would have been part of the story). The two parties just have to agree on a password.

 
EmmaLou 2009-01-24 11:59:42 PM  
They're not just in email anymore. I had one find me on Yahoo messenger and try to convince me to buy things in the US and send them to his kids in Nigeria. Since he was a multi-national executive and in Japan, he couldn't buy computers and clothes. Apparently the Japanese are very backwards when it comes to technology and fashion. He promised to pay me back.

I give him points for the creativity.

When I told him I was a poor student, he didn't seem to believe that any Americans want for anything. He assumed that all Americans are rich and can buy anything we want so what was a few thousand dollars to me. This is where the mentality of scamming and stealing comes in.

FTFA: Evan: your english is bad
it does not sound like the english of someone from the us
so no one will believe you

Calvin: how can you teach me

Evan: ok i will. but you have to send me $900.


LMAO

It loses its luster rather quickly. But good on ya anyway. Every minute one of those guys is preoccupied with you is one he's not emailing me.

he just navigated over the guy's profile. it is not the mascot, of course. but can be found easily. but who lists the entire name and year like that exactly as it is posted on your profile?

The first google result for Shawnee Mission Northwest High seems to be the home of the Cougars.

And just to prove it's me, our mascot was the Cougars!

So will you send me the $900?

He should have asked Calvin if he knew how babby was formed.

 
SlothB77 2009-01-25 12:11:40 AM  
The Shawnee Mission School District (Kansas Unified School District 512) is one of the major school districts in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Located in northeast Johnson County, Kansas, the school district enrolled 29,389 students in the 2003-2004 school year. As of 2008, the district comprises 5 high schools, 7 middle schools, 39 elementary schools, and 3 instructional centers.

Shawnee Mission Northwest High School's mascot is the Cougar, and the school colors are black and orange. Its principal is Dr. Bill Harrington. As of the 2005-2006 school year, its population was 1,859.

~460 students per year

 
superm401 2009-01-25 12:13:14 AM  
I believe the beginning of the conversation, and I want to believe the whole thing, because:

"i am sorry, but due to the odd circumstances of our initial greeting, i must terminate this relationship. i hope you understand."

is so full of win.

I sure would. She looks to be someone who would be a lot of fun in the sack, really uninhibited. At least in my fantasies.

 
Dwedit 2009-01-25 12:15:45 AM  
Of course, the correct thing to do is to send a Nigerian scammer is to just send them the cash...in Zimbabwe dollars.

wyltoknow: That's actually a pretty good scam. And good on the guy for being suspicious before automatically wiring 900 bucks.

I've responded to these just to toy with them and make them show up at some western union outlet to pick up non existent money. I'd even pick the address where I sent it to see if they'd bite (full well knowing there are a myriad of ways to "pick up" your WU money).

Good fun. Wished I saved some of the responses.

 
The Smails Kid 2009-01-25 12:22:54 AM

I am not Nigerian, but if you could give me $5000 with no strings attached, I'll be your friend forever. Hell, even for $1000.

I thought his mascot was a high school. What would you rather be up against in a football game? A stupid lion or an entire building?

Fellow farkers,

Not only have I been robbed, but they're holding me hostage right now until I show them how to view all the interesting threads here, so could someone please send me a totalfark subscription thanks.

Hilarious and tragical at the same time.
If it was an idiot it would be just hilarious, but he seems such a cool person. There are so many people in the world who want a good education and couldn't afford it.
