A few years ago, I got one of those spam emails.
3
And it managed to get through my spam filter,
4
I'm not quite sure how,
5
but it's turned up in my inbox,
6
and it was from a guy called Solomon Odonka.
7
I know.
8
It went like this.
9
It said, Hello, James Veitch.
10
I have an interesting business proposal I want to share with you, Solomon.
11
Now, my hand was kind of hovering on the delete button.
12
As you are, I was looking at my phone,
13
I thought, I could just delete this,
14
or I could do what I think we've all always wanted to do.
15
And I said, Solomon, your email intrigues me.
16
And the game was afoot.
17
He said, dear James Veach,
18
we shall be shipping gold to you.
19
You will earn 10% of any gold you distribute.
20
So I knew I was dealing with a professional.
21
I said, how much is it worth?
22
He said, we will start with a smaller quantity.
23
I was like, aww.
24
And then he said, of 25 kilograms,
25
the worst should be about 2.5 million.
26
I said, Solomon, if we're going to do it, let's go big.
27
I can handle it.
28
I can handle it.
29
How much gold do you have?
30
He said, it's not a matter of how much gold I have,
31
but this is your capable of handling.
32
What, we could start with 50 kilograms as a trial shipment.
33
I said, 50 kilograms?
34
There's no point doing this at all,
35
no such as shipping at least a metric ton.
36
So what do you do for a living?
37
I said, I'm a hedge fund executive bank manager.
38
This isn't the first time I've shipped bullion, my friend.
39
No, no, no. Then I started to panic.
40
I was like, look, where are you based?
41
I don't know about you,
42
but I think we're going via the postal service.
43
It ought to be signed for.
44
That's a lot of gold.
45
He said, it will not be easy to convince my company to do a larger quantity shipment.
46
I said, Solomon, I'm completely with you on this one.
47
I'm putting together a visual for you to take him to the board meeting, hold tight.
48
This is what I sent Solomon.
49
I don't know if we have any statisticians in the house,
50
but there's definitely something going on.
51
I said, Solomon, attach this email,
52
you'll find a helpful chart.
53
I've had one of my assistants run the numbers.
54
We need to be shipping as much gold as possible.
55
There's always a moment where they try to tug your heartstrings,
56
and this was it for Solomon.
57
He said, I will be so much happier if the deal goes well,
58
because I'm going to get a very good commission as well.
59
And I said, that's amazing,
60
what are you going to spend your cut on?
61
And he said, on real estate, what about you?
62
I thought about it for a long time.
63
And I said one word.
64
Hummus.
65
It's going, please.
66
I was in Sainsbury's the other day,
67
and there were like 30 different varieties.
68
Also, you can cut up carrots,
69
and you can dip them.
70
Have you ever done that?
71
Solomon!
72
He said, I have to go to bed now.
73
Till tomorrow, have sweet dreams.
74
I didn't know what to say.
75
I said, bonsoir, my golden nugget.
76
Bonsoir.
77
Guys, you have to understand,
78
this has been going for like weeks,
79
albeit hitherto the greatest weeks of my life,
80
but I had to knock it on the head.
81
It was getting a bit out of hand.
82
James, do you want to come out for a drink?
83
I was like, I can't,
84
mate, I'm expecting an email about some gold.
85
So I figured I had to knock it on the head,
86
I had to take it to a ridiculous conclusion.
87
So I thought I concocted a plan.
88
I said, look, Solomon, Solomon, I'm concerned about security.
89
When we email each other,
90
we need to use a code. And he agreed.
91
And I said, Solomon, I spent all night coming up with this code.
92
We need to use it in all further correspondence.
93
Lawyer!
94
Gummy bear.
95
Bank, cream egg.
96
Legal, fizzy-Cola bottle, claim peanut lemon ends,
97
documents, jelly beans, Western Union.
98
Guys, a giant gummy lizard.
99
I knew these were all words they used, right?
100
I said, please call me KitKat and all further correspondence.
101
I didn't hear back.
102
I thought, I've gone too far.
103
I've gone too far.
104
So I had to backpedal a I said,
105
look, Solomon, is the deal still on?
106
Kit-Kat.
107
Because you have to be consistent.
108
Then I did get any more back from him.
109
He said, the business is on, I'm trying .. blah, blah, blah.
110
I said, dude, you have to use the code.
111
What follow is the greatest email I've ever received?
112
I'm not joking.
113
This is what turned up in my inbox.
114
This was a good day.
115
The business is on.
116
And I'm trying to raise the balance for the gummy bear.
117
So he can submit all the needed fizzy-cola-bottled jelly beans to the cream egg for the peanut M&M's process to start.
118
Send 1,500 pounds via a giant Scammy lizard.
119
And that was so much fun, right?
120
That it got me thinking,
121
what would happen if I just spent as much time as I could replying to as many scam emails as I could?
122
And that's what I've been doing for three years on your behalf.
123
Yeah.
124
Yeah.
125
Let me tell you, crazy stuff happens when you start replying to scam e-mails.
126
It's really difficult, and I highly recommend we do it.
127
I don't think what I'm doing is mean, right?
128
You know, there are a lot of people out there who do mean things to scammers.
129
I don't think what I'm doing ...
130
All I'm doing is wasting their time.
131
And I think any time they're spending with me is time they're not spending scamming vulnerable adults out of their savings.
132
Right?
133
And if you're going to do this,
134
and I highly recommend you do,
135
get yourself a pseudonymous email address.
136
Don't use your own email address,
137
because that's exactly what I was doing at the start,
138
and it was a nightmare.
139
about penis enlargements, you know.
140
Only one of which was a legitimate ...
141
.. response to a medical question.
142
I'll tell you what, though, guys.
143
I'll tell you what.
144
Any day is a good day.
145
Any day is a good day if you receive an email that begins like this.
146
I am Winnie Mandela, the second wife of Nelson Mandela,
147
the former South African president.
148
I was like, oh, that Winnie Mandela!
149
I know so many.
150
I need to transfer 45 million dollars out of the country because of my husband Nelson's health condition.
151
Let that sink in.
152
She sent me this, which is hysterical. And this.
153
And this looks fairly legitimate,
154
this is a letter of authorization,
155
but to be honest, if there's nothing written on it,
156
it's just a shape.
157
I say, Winnie, I'm really sorry to hear of this,
158
I'm really sorry to hear of this.
159
Given that Nelson died three months ago,
160
I describe his health condition as ...
161
That's the worst health condition you can have, not being alive.
162
She said, Kindly comply with my banker's instructions, one love.
163
I said, of course, a woman with no cry.
164
She said, my banker will need transfer of $3,000.
165
One love.
166
I said, no problemo.
167
I shall share it.
168
Thank you.
169
Thank you.
