I love that his name is ERICK BOLT! Does he work with MIKE HAMMER and FIST ROCKBONE?

He even spoofs an FBI account (poorly).

Yeah, it's your usual 419 silliness. I also like that you aren't supposed to talk with any banks because of USA!

Nothing special, just straight out send money to some random dude.

Hi

I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about my trip, because it was impromptu. I had to be in Malaysia for a program. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. I misplaced my wallet on my way back to my hotel after I went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables I had. Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when I make payment.

I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of $ 2,250 (dollars) from you. this will enable me sort my hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much.

No way I would do that- he seems sketchy. Besides, I can't afford it since that prince I keep sending money to hasn't paid me back from his kingdom's treasury.

It's rather ironic that a bot is necro-bumping a nearly 5 yr old post in a thread about spam.
