This was one of my first experiences interacting with a spammer. The total interaction took place over the course of about 2 1/2 months.

Mr Owen Steven,

You infidel pig. How dare you seek the downfall of our glorious leader, President Gaddafi. I will not rest until you and your kind are eradicated off the face of the earth.

I will take the moneys though. How do you propose to send them to me?

Simon Sosa

Owen Steven

Dear sir

How are you prior to the email you send it was ok and also to that as you must know this must be kept secret among us and no one should know even if he or she is your best friend,the reason is that the united nations has seized must of gaddafi's asset around the world and the reason this is not detected is because it was a secret account,what we need to do now is for me to change the ownership document to your real name,that is it will no longer appear to be in gaddafi's name it will be carrying your name as the account holder but all i need is your trust and your cooperation to deal with this transaction.so what i need now are the following information.

This information will help me change the document to your name by swearing an affidavit in the court, that is we need a lawyer to stand for us,we need this funds in our hands because gaddaffi can get this any more and you must know this friend no one else knows the existence of this account except you. So I need to know if you are in or out as you know we both going to benefit,you will also need to activate a non residential account with the bank before the funds can be wired to your domestic account. supply the information,have a nice day.

 Dear partner,
 How are you? i acknoledge your mail with thanks,all you need to do now is

comply with the swearing of affidavit in the high court,the lawyer incharge has charge $3800 usd for the affidavit change to your name and for stamp & sign and also with barrister charges.You are to come up with this amount as the beneficiary and owner of this document.attached is the sample of certificate of ownership the lawyer is going to change to your name before the bank can have the authority to transfer the funds to your domestic account.come up with this amount and everything will be cleared.i hope to hear from you for my instructions.
Regards

Owen Steven

Simon Sosa

Dear Owen,

$3800 is a lot of money. I can get it, but it will take a little while. Right now, I have a little over $2000 saved up, but it would take another 3-4 months to save up the rest of it. Do you think that you could just loan me the additional $3800, and then you can just take that amount from my cut of the earnings? I feel that that is a better alternative than waiting the 3-4 months.

Gomer,
Simon Sosa

Owen Steven

Dear Simon Sosa,

I appreciate your email and it was understood,in response to that i don't have alot with at this time,i can only raise $1,750 for now because my salary has not been paid to me due to some problem,you will have to come up with the amount you have now which is $2000 and i will plead with the lawyer to accept the $3750 from us,so that when the money is transferred to you we will paythe balance to him.you will have to send the money quickly as possible in order for the bank to get the document and transfer the funds to you early enough.

Oh wow, you're on Camden High St in London? I'm actually going there in a few days to visit family. They live on Mandela St, which is within walking distance! Is there any way that we can meet in person? I actually don't trust banks very much, so I keep all of my money in cash. I could just bring the cash with me, and we could hammer out all the details while I'm there? Would something like that work out? Maybe we could just meet at a coffee shop next week. Would Cobden Arms work for you? I think that it's right across the street from your address. It's amazing how well this is working out, like it's meant to be!

Eagerly awaiting your reply Gomer,
Simon Sosa

Owen Steven

 Dear partner 

You must know this is a transaction we have not make progress on and this transaction is not what you must publish.we can not meet not until the funds is transferred from the bank.if you must know the address i gave you is the address of the bank were the funds is deposited on,i gave you that address because i want the bank to know what ever we are doing,my friend if you are not ready to make this transfer and you are just a joker let me know, send the money as soon as you can for the attorney to change the document quickly as soon as possible,  we can not meet not until the funds are transferred to you because it is a private transaction.have a nice.

Owen Steven. 

Simon Sosa

Dear Owen,

You think I'm joking? You're asking for a lot of money. I'd like to at least be able to meet you before I just hand it all over. How do I know you won't just take it and run? Are you in London? Where are you? If you're in England, we need to meet. I can't just give the money otherwise, my wife would kill me.

Have a nice day,
Simon

Owen Steven

Dear partner

How are you? i have been awaiting your response but i did not get any what is going? i want to know if you really want to support this transfer to you,if not willing to help let me know,the phone contact you gave me is not active i tried calling but no good response,tell me what you want but if you insist of meeting me i will have to tell you the procedures,but i think it not really relevant,if you are a citizen of England let me know. so that i can tell the bank to make the account dormant in case you try  to report the bank to the UN.i await your response...

Simon Sosa

Dear Owen,

My previous condition still holds. I will not continue with this transaction until we can meet in person so I can gauge what type of man you are. I am not a citizen of England, I despise the English. Why would I tell the UN about your bank? As stated, I must have direct contact with you before proceeding with the transaction.

Ever yours,
Simon Sosa

Owen Steven

Dear Mr Simon Sosa,

I got your email,this is a confidential transfer the only way we can
meet is when the documents are change to your name that is a sign of
seriousness from you.the amount we are talking about here is not a
little amount you will have to make me understand your parson and how
serious you are in this transaction the best i can do for you is send
you my identity card,after when the document are in your name we can
meet in united kingdom sit and drink together have some fun.you will
have to come up with the amount on Monday so that the Barrister can
get the document lately on Monday also then the bank will transfer the
funds latest Wednesday by Thursday you will come to UK with my share
of the money which is seven point five million dollars the remaining
five hundred will be in your possession based on the expenses and the
flight expenses.make sure you come up with the amount latest Monday
morning.

Regards

Owen Steven.

Simon Sosa

Dear Owen,

You keep on talking about a sign of seriousness from me, what about a sign of seriousness from you? I've never met you, and yet you ask me to trust you. All I want to do is meet in person, then I'll pay any fee you want me to. Is that too much to ask, to be able to see your face once and look into your eyes so that I can determine whether or not you are an honest person? I've already told you that I am willing to meet with you in the UK. I'LL COME TO YOU! Why are you not willing to meet with me? Do you have something to hide?

Simon

Owen Steven

My friend this is what i can do for you without the change of document to your name i can not go further.
this is my photo attached with this you will be able to know who you are dealing with.

Simon Sosa

Oh man, that is one good looking picture! Are you single? I have a sister in the UK that is looking for an outstanding guy like yourself. Do you want to meet her? I think that you two would get along great together!

So, what is it that I need to do again? I've forgotten somehow. Sorry, I'm really not good with this financial business. I just need to be walked through it step by step.

Ever loving,
Simon

Owen Steven

Dear Simon Sosa,
I appreciate your email i am not single, you will have to come up with the amount you have now which is $2000,That is the amount you said you can raise for the change of ownership document,the lawyer is going to present you as the next of kin.you will become the account holder as soon as the affidavit made..

Did I say $2000? I actually had a kind of wild weekend in Las Vegas, and now I'm down to $500. Can you cover the rest? I think that I can still pony up the $500.

Simon

Owen Steven

Dear partner 

How are you today?i hope all is well with you i am waiting for you to tell me what you have to pay now you told me to give you sometime and i am waiting,

when are you paying the charges for the change of document to your name instead of Gaddafi's name,i hope to hear from you.

Owen Steven.

Simon Sosa

I just payed yesterday, didn't the bank notify you? Sorry for not keeping you more up to date.

Simon

Owen Steven

I didn't get any update from the bank,you are to send me the scan copy of the payment slip for verification.

Owen Steven.

Simon Sosa

Hi Owen, sorry it took so long to get back to you. I just got back from an important business trip with millions of dollars on the line. How have you been? How's your wife? I told my secretary to send the bank the money. I'd better double check that it actually got done. I mostly keep her around for her looks, she's not the brightest. Kind of like you.

Simon

Owen Steven

Dear friend 

do you think you are talking to a baby or are you trying to fool me,you said you send the money to the bank did i told you to send it to the bank,

i told you the money is to change the document of ownership to your name instead of gaddafi,it the barrister charges not bank charges ok if you are sending money 

send it to the information i sent to you earlier,if you are not ready to deal with this please stop sending me you little joker email ok.

Owen Steven.

Simon Sosa

Dear Owen,

Why do you always get so angry with me? I'm not very good with financial stuff, so it takes me a long time to understand something. How about we just start fresh? I think that we can be great friends, but you need to deal with me as if I was a child. So, tell me exactly step by step, what do I need to do.

With ever decreasing patience,
Simon Sosa

Owen, I paid the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the bank just like ya said and handed over all the cash. I even found the full $3800. Aren't you proud of me? My mom said I couldn't do it, but I said no way, I'm a big boy now! I attached the bank document for proof. So, when are you going to transfer over my millions? And you better not try to back out now!!
