Conversation with a Nigerian scammer who hacked a friend’s account
The scammer, here known as FakeRose, wanted me to send $1000 to a London branch of Western Union because she said she was robbed at gunpoint. Here’s part of the chatlog….
FakeRose: hmmmm
Matthew: ok bron is here
FakeRose: ok
go now
Matthew: I haven’t seen her in ages
you’ll be glad to know she still has that damn fine ass
FakeRose: Can you go now?
Matthew: She’s getting my wheel chair ready
what a kind woman
FakeRose: ok
Matthew: and really, she’s got some child-bearing hips that can’t be beat
what do you think about bron?
honestly?
FakeRose: okay
Can you leave for the western union now?
Matthew: she’s okay?
I think she’s great
bron is wonderful
well what do you think of bron?
FakeRose: she is okay
Matthew: is that all?
FakeRose: aren’t going to the western union again?
Matthew: well I’m a bit worried that you just think that bron is okay
I thought you two were best of friends
what went wrong in your friendship?
FakeRose: Nothing
Matthew: then why do you think she’s okay?
FakeRose: Leave for the WU now
Matthew: I want to talk about you and Bron
you clearly have some issues
did Bron say something rude?
FakeRose: am freaked out here
not this day
Matthew: no. we must discuss this now
FakeRose: can you leave for the WU?
Matthew: we need to talk about you and bron first
what went wrong?
Are you ok?
ROSEANNA SKELETOR MCCOLL ARE YOU THERE?
(cruel parents to give you that middle name)
FakeRose: am here
am freaked out
Matthew: me too
what do you think of Bron though?
FakeRose: she is caring and kind
am getting frustrated here
Matthew: I agree. She is caring and kind.

Here (s)he is scamming me after some story about being mugged at gunpoint.
FakeRose: wondering if you could loan me some few $$ to sort out the hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport?
I will definitely refund it back tomorrow
(Big pause while I verified the legitimacy of the story with Matt.)
FakeRose: you there?
Me: your face is
