Without posting the whole conversation (about 100-200 messages and 2 days) here is what happened:
- My character Betty found an email under the lottery section of scamwarners
- She sent an email and was very eager to get her winnings
- Turns out she won a bmw permit! (and like, 2 cars and 2 million dollars or something)
- She was told by the "agent" Phillip to contact the "IRS" manager, Charles
- After asking Phillip many questions, she emailed Charles
- Charles said she needs to pay a fee of $200
- Betty asked if he accepted money gram, and he said yes
- She went to the money gram machine and made the payment!
- When she got home, she had to scan a picture of the receipt. But she doesn't know how to work the scanner. The first picture she sent didn't send because she forgot to attach it
- Then when she finally got the scanner to work, she sent another picture but it was too blurry
- Charles got upset with her because she doesn't know how to take a picture right
- She sends another picture, but this one was too small
- Finally, she sent a nice clear picture! (I used a money gram receipt generator, and where it has the mtcn there is a phone number instead, to get the mtcn which leads the caller through a long recording to give the code but never does)
- Charles wanted to know the mtcn, so I told him to call the number on the receipt. He didn't want to (He's stubborn)
- After trying to convince him to call the number, guess what? He didn't.
- Instead he asked Betty to get $200 steam gift cards 2 pieces
- Betty agreed but said she couldn't go that day because she took her medicine and it makes her sleepy
- She told Charles how patient he was being and that she would give him a tip
- That brings us to today. Betty went to the store and successfully bought gift cards
- When she got home she had trouble again sending the pictures. (Same process as the money gram receipt)
- Except this time, another mistake she made was sending them to her grandson, Brandon.
- She realized the mistake, apologized, and finally sent him a clear picture of the gift cards with the receipt (that I photoshopped, I was pretty proud of this one as everything on here was individually photoshopped and added onto another picture of a "messy" table)
When I photoshopped the receipt I changed the font and added in 2 gift cards, changed it to the correct amount, the location of the store near Betty, and the time and date) I can't post it here because it would be too small to see.
- Charles responds by saying "You get the write card but you haven't search it. Example" (sends a pic)
- Clearly he wants Betty to search the card and not scratch it, right?
- Turns out he was upset that Betty searched it on google and didn't scratch it
"I don't not tell you to rearch it on google, I asked you to open the card and take of the card and removed label that cover the code. Look at here. Don't asked me question again. If you can't do it just forget about it. Because I have tried a lot."
- Betty decides to send his email to her grandson, Brandon so he can help.
I will post this conversation since it wasn't too long:
Brandon
Charles
Hello sir. My name is brandon and my grandma told me to email you the cards but she accidentally sent them to me and I redeemed them because I thought they were for my birthday present. I can fix this for you no problem.
I heard she won a bmv permit and she really wants this because she's getting old and wants to have a nice car, so I really want to help her do this.
Im sorry for any trouble she caused.
I am on my way out of the house and I will go to western union to get your money.
She told me it costs $200 but I would like to give you some more for all the problems. I know you're an IRS officer so I don't want to have problems with the IRS office. If I give you another $200, would you forgive my grandma?
Also I need to know where I am sending the money. Thanks!
Tell your mother you have used the card then she have to repay the fee. Of 400$ By Apple Card
Or if you’re the one who is actually going to pay it. Then tell you mother you have use the 400?$ and you are going to send it to IRS through Apple gift card.
No problem. I will pay it since it was my mistake.
I work at western union so its easier for me to do it that way, is that ok? I know how to get it done easily if you don't mind me paying through there.
I got the sender information from my grandma, Im on my way there now.
I need Apple gift card. Hope you knew about it. Since you’re the hero redeem the 400$ she got for her perm certificate bmw win! I need iTunes or Apple Card 200$ into 2 cards.
Look. I am going out of my way to help you and you don't want to accept my payment? Why?
I can give you more money through western union since there is a limit to how many gift cards can be sold. They will question me and ask me what they are for. I can just go to western union and no one needs to know anything.
Don’t send it in that information. Because we cancel the information from receiving the money. Listen to me. Before you got me upset. Again? Buy Apple Card or iTunes card 400$ Single/. 200$ each into 2 or 100$ Each into 4 pieces with the recipt
(He had given me information of who to send the money gram to before, which I reported to the mods)
Why would you cancel that information if you need to receive payments? Can you send different information? I have alot of money because I have been saving it for 5 years. I am willing to pay you any amount from western union. If you want gift cards, you'll only get $200.
Listen to me. The problem why we tell your mummy to used card is because the western union receiver went to Africa for conference. Or can you be able to send to Africa.
Yes I can send it to Africa. I work at western union so I know how to do everything that we need to do.
If you can send to Africa based in Nigeria now. Let me knew so I’ll call for the information. Because you have messed everything up now
I know and I am going to fix it. If my grandma told me about this sooner I would have told her that I would do it.
Here's the information you use to send it through Western Union with this information below
Receiver name..First name is ...xxxx
Middle name is ....xxxx
Last name is ..xxxx
Country Nigeria
City Lagos
Amount 400$ dollar
Senders information....
MTCN number....
Be wear of a misstake. But I knew you are perfect’ let me knew you got it only western union. You will send it to.
(I also reported this information)
Yes sir, I am not allowed to make mistakes at work. I will let you know when I filled out the form.
Ok, let me know. Hope you remember to forward the full receipt or mtcn.
Literally 2 minutes later
What’s going on have send it
Let’s me if you have sent it and get back me with receipt of your payment
I am here at my job's computer now. My boss is here so I need to make sure I follow all procedures correctly.
We have a few new policies in place that I need to adhere to before I get started. Just give me a few moments
(Since Brandon works at western union, he took this opportunity to set up for the western union "security" form that I downloaded from the scambait toolbox)
Ok. Just to informed you that. It's urgent noe. Because Mr. Philip Morris was at JFK international airport and he have has the package for your mummy. So you will be rich sooner
Wow. An urgent noe.
Ok yes I see here that the name you gave me was flagged for suspicious activity. While this could be a false flag and nothing to worry about, we need to verify some information from you. I have attached the needed form to complete this transaction. Please fill it out completely and send it back to me. I will be waiting.
(Sent the form)
It doesn't matters sense actually. Because I told you early that why I want you to buy card is because the receiver David went to Africa. And he can't be back til December to January. I want to give you btc wallet. Address where you can send the money to and forward the receipt to me.
Sir, I am already at western union and I am trying to help you. Its a simple form you need to fill out in order to complete our transaction. If you cannot do that, then I will have to tell my grandma Im sorry I can't help.
I have call the Mr. David and he's was at his office right now to attend me right. Now. So will you be able to the fee through bit coin atm machine or will be able to send if world remit to Mr. David ekene. Or wil you buy apple card 400$ single or 200$ into 2 this is option so choose. Still need to completed your mummy delivery BMW wins today
Its either you allow me to follow the policies at my job or I won't help you. Would you like me to forward your email to my boss to verify the policy? I have everything ready for you, I just need the form. It does not contain any sensitive information and you do not have to worry about anything. It should take you 5 minutes
Its not what I can do. The need required you need most comes from the receiver and he's not his office now. Don't you understand things easy
Wait. Let me ask him for another receiver name
Sir it doesn't matter who fills out the form. You are the one in contact with the receiver, therefor you need to fill out the form. Here is a scanned picture of the western union form
(Sent a faked western union form that I "filled out" but the mtcn is covered with a note that says "Secure process required")
Thank you, I got it. I knew you're at western Union trying to send but wait. I guess I have another received that ugh western union I'll gibe you his name so you wil send it through. Hold on!!!!
Ok no problem.
Hello. I want you to go now and get 200$ Apple card or steam this is gets late. The david is not available at his office I have called him over 6 missed. And I don't want to distorted an official work. But now I have to contact your mummy. You have to send the 200$ Right now
Sir I have already gone through so much to get you the money. If I don't get the forms from you, I cannot give you money. I told you I can't buy gift cards because the last time I bought gift cards, they told me I wasn't allowed to because they thought it was a scam. If you are legit, you will fill out the forms for the sender.
The payment has already gone through, but I cannot give you the mtcn until you complete the security form.
One more excuse from you and I will refund the payment.
(Sent "proof" of my bank account showing I paid Western Union)
Listed to me son don't talk to me without a respect. Because I can force on you. If you does. How could you be talking to me with that manner. I am your mate. Do you this k I need your money.
And I am going to give you the money but you are being difficult. Do you want it or not? This is my final email if you do not comply.

15169006419
Go and tells your mummy am not in talk with you. Anymore ok. Hope you have user the steam card she bought for her permitt wins. Bye
Cancel it and have your money back yourself ok.
Ok bye. Thanks for wasting my time
Son have a great time
I will have a great time with all of my money. I would have given it to you easily but you don't want it.
I don't think Im done with him yet though, because Betty is going to "ask" Brandon what happened, and then she is going to message Charles upset that she can't get her winnings. Im gonna try to think of what to do next.
Anyway, here are their emails.

IRS Officer Charles: [email protected]
