Korn Pone

The names of some of the scammers my character gets emails from are truly a hoot.

Like this one:  Korn Chia.

Yup.  Korn...Chia.


And here's how a Korn Chia starts his roll:


Good news for you today,Your Abandoned transaction is now Ready For Claim .

Payment of $11.5 Million USD has been approved by the Asia
compensation department to be transferred into your bank account by
the ICBC BANK OF THAILAND ,But you have only two options to receive
your fund such as Online Wire transfer/Wire transfer.

This payment is as a result of Asia compensation payment which is due
to you ,But i will like to let you no the truth here you are to send
$850 usd to the paying bank of Thailand to help you Wire or open an
online account in your name and release credit your $11.5 Million usd
payment fund to your bank account over there.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message for more details.

Hope to hear from you soonest.

Yours faithfully,

Mr . Korn Chia

Chairman Foreign Debt/Contract Payment.  


My character's reply wasn't necessarily meant to further things along:


Korn Chia???  I have heard of chia pets, but korn chia???  That's a new one.  Will you be on QVC or a K-Tel/Ronco product?  Asking for a friend.


It is quickly established that Korn Chia is not terribly interested in what's in a reply, only that there was one:


Thanks for your world. Well i need to inform you that this transaction
is 100% risk free and all documentation shall be providing to you once
you are ready to comply to the instruction given to you by the paying

if you fail to send to them there bank $850 usd and to claim your

Let me help you understand, Korn:  you tell me $850 then in the same email you tell me $270.

That's how do I say such to you.  I like accuracy and precision.  You sabe?  

 

 

Mr Jack Ewehoff it is $850 usd ,Thanks .  

 

 

You're sure now.  No last minute changes to switch to what's behind Door #3, hokay?

 

 

What is this you say, Jack?  Please send the USD $850 soonest as instruct.  

 

 

Working on it.  International finance is tough biscuits.  

 

 

Thanks for your mail ,Well i need to know if you are done sending the
Clear Bills $850 usd fees and your full details to the paying bank and
receive your $$11.5 Million usd payment from them .  

 

 

Clear bills?  What are those?  My bills are modest and don't like see-through undies.  

 

 

No no That is the $850 usd to Clear all the bills and release your payment
from the bank .  

 

 

Oh...I thought you were asking me to send you clear bills and I wasn't sure how I could do that with modest bills.  

 

 

I shall wait to hear from you once you have send to the icbc bank
there bank $850 usd fees and note that the fees sstill reminds your
money because it will be added to your fund online account once open
and Activated you will confirm the $850 usd in their.  

 

 

Your patience is much depreciated Korn.  

 

 

And then, all of a sudden, a discount suddenly IS offered:

 

 

Thanks for your mail ,Well i can see you are have a problem with

send the 850 usd, I can send 500 usd so kindly update me if
you can send the rest balance of 350 usd to the bank this week to open
your online account with them and release your payment to you .  

 

 

Dang, Korn, that's right neighborly of you to offer to do that.  But I really

couldn't ask that of you...could I?

 

 

...before Korn had a chance to digest any of that, I followed up with this:

 

 

I was so impressed with your willingness to pay 2/3s of the fee yourself, that I decided to let you pay the whole thing and feel really good about yourself.  You first class number one man.  

 

 

That tore it:

 

 

NO NO NO THAT IS NOT THE DEAL I CANNOT PAY WHOLE

FEE YOU MUST SEND 350 USD AS INSTRUCTED OKAY? 

 

 

Now Korn, you took such a magnanimous step there, why stop at two-thirds,

when for another third, you can be first class number one man?  Here's your

chance to be first class number one man.  A chance that not come in this venue

very often.  Will you see the nettle for yourself and take that next step to first

class number one mandom?  It awaits you.  

 

 

I CANNOT WORK THAT WAY YOU MUST SEND THE 350 USD

TODAY.  STOP BE SILLY LIKE THIS NUMBER MAN STUFF.

 

 

You disappoint me, Korn.  You really do.  Here you have a chance to do it

up right and be a first class number one man before your entire collections

of pears and collies, and you shirk from the moment of greatness before you.

Sad...very sad.  So sad, that now you make me insist that you rise to the

occasion and seize the honor I offer you.  You pay the whole fee and forever

after be first class number one man with your pears and collies.

 

 

I guess Korn isn't so much into being so regarded amongst his pears and collies:

 

 

STOP CONTACT ME IDIOT.

 

 

I don't recall suggesting that you were an idiot.  But if you insist, okay...you're

a first class number one idiot.  Happy now?

 

 

That apparently pushed Korn over the edge and he decided to invoke that acronym that he figgered would send chills through my character:


Attn Jack Ewehoff

Thanks for your mail ,Note that we have your full details and we shall
send the FBI to your home address to get you arrested ,because this is
an office email .

Mr Korn .  


He reckoned the mere mention of the FBI would end it there.  *BUZZZZZZZZZZZZER*, as he receives this email thirty times and counting:


BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA.

Send the FBI...I have donuts.

You're about as official as a popcorn fart.

Your office might wonder what you're doing running non-work emails on it, though.

Mebbe YOU better get some donuts, Poodle Lips.  

It appears that the only Korn Chia I've ever known in Scam Land is through

with his efforts to give me the business.  Perhaps he IS happy with his new

title.  OR he's desperately trying to find donuts....
