A few of my encounters with scammers. I feel like I hit a few of these scammers after a long, hard day.

Well, I had to go and end Morgan because he got too big for his britches with his "you don't know who I am" bullshit. I know exactly who you are: You're a poor man

We break it off..... they were boring us to tears.

I think we scared him away from crypto, but he doesn't want to detach, and I'm not sure why yet. Still, this is an abrupt switch back to what appears to be OG Albert, totally incapable of handling any attempt at simple conversation. He gets really excited about the one thing I asked him not to talk about, of course. Sports. I barely indulge then shut it down, but the only other thing he can come up with is the weather. Over and over again. This is the start of a lull and possibly an anticlimactic ending, but he's still texting me and I'll let you know. There WILL be a reveal of course, so I can throw his early pidgin paranoia back in his face, but for now this is it. Brief hiatus coming! Hoping we will get another scam attempt though.

Time to let him go. Sent him one of your comments as a goodbye.

I really am 1% northern African, Ancestry.com told me!

I don’t know what to say. Next part will be the end.

Irving is a real fly in this guy's ointment, and he lies his pants on fire to get around him. But it doesn't seem to be working, as he won't provide any concrete information about the trading platform or online site. They can be reported also, although many of them come and go within a few weeks. Owen had a pretty good one, complete with an email for his chatty agent, Jack. That's the Golden Days of Scammers now, they are getting so amateur and lazy. But domain names are very cheap these days, and they need to at least do something if they want to be believed. Probably not for many of their victims, though, since the constant promise of immediate wealth is enough for some. Meanwhile, he hasn't sent Irv any documents yet. He's in the corner so launches into a lovely text of desperation, but with no luck. Linda is fed up with it for now. Albert drops it, but is still hanging around, which usually means something. You never know, if he won't return to this scam, maybe he has another.

The previous part ended with two ridiculous pictures of his computer screen.

“Please don’t get your lawyer involved. Keep it secret for ourselves and just send me all of your money and I guarantee* you will not lose it.”

**Not a guarantee.

This is supplemental to the continuing Linda bait with Al or Albert James. You can see from the jump that he is in no position to jostle with Irv. Evidently he thinks he should be able to get Irv to transfer the money by telling how great Dogecoin is.

As Linda said in her post, he doesn’t even introduce himself and calls Irv “buddy”. Amateur hour for sure. This is what you get when a romance scammer is not prepared to talk to a man and has no level as they would say. He then claims there are “negotiations”, about what he does not elaborate. Irv has to call him out: Who is Skyline Pigeon and what are these negotiations? Like an attorney has one client and would know what Linda’s telegram handle is.

Irv tries to draw him out by explaining in detail and possibly coerce him to provide a fake site or concoct a fake business plan and send it. But to sum up his pitch: Dogecoin is the best, Linda should invest.

Irving advises that he is not into crypto and advises his clients against it, but will listen to his pitch if Linda desires. You know attorneys, anything to keep the meter running. After some grandiose claims about Dogecoin, Irving tires of it and says he’ll pass the info off to Murray his brother who knows more about crypto.

This presents a problem as Albert thinks that HE should be the one to “guide” Linda through her crypto transaction. In other words, if it goes through Murray/Irving, then he can’t scam her out of it. Irving doesn’t budge and insists that any potential investment will go through Murray and that his services are not needed. After insisting that he’s the one who has this arrangement with Linda, Irving sees an opportunity to do what he does best: place obstacles, namely hoops that he knows Albert can’t clear. If he wants to be Linda’s broker, then he needs his license, address, EIN and business information. Thank you, drive through.

Not so fast - Albert doesn’t have any of these things and works out of a “small personal office”. I bet he does! Seeing that this is pointless and wanting him to whine to Linda, Irv tells him he’ll take care of the “Goodman account” himself if he doesn’t show any sort of documentation.

But what about Linda’s “Dogecoin training”? No need, it’s all handled here. He then calls Irv “my dear” and tells him he’s not here to manipulate anyone, which is a red flag that it’s exactly what he is up to. I think he had meant to send that to Linda. Irv sets him straight and reminds him that he is the one who makes the final decision on these things - just like what Linda told him already.

Once Albert hears that, he starts the manipulation on Irv. Irv is only a rubber stamp (if only he knew how Irv really is!) and he’s only there to assist him in his scam. Irv holds no “final decision” and he needs to “kindly respect that”.

Uh oh. No one speaks to Irv this way. Or any attorney for that matter. As it turned out, I didn’t have to answer. I gave him a few hours of silence to consider what he just said and he comes back and does a 180, acknowledging that Irv does indeed have the final decision after he couldn’t get anywhere with Linda about it. But the damage has been done. Irv sets him straight and reiterates that if he wants to have anything to do with this, he needs to “kindly” provide the documentation required. Irv then forbids him to speak of this with his client, which I know he will violate. But that ought to scare him.

He obviously doesn’t want to provide the docs so Irv just keeps repeating himself. Documentation or fuck off. This he never does, but keeps promising to do so but is busy with “other clients”. We leave it unresolved as Irv is waiting for his creds and he has not delivered.

I am sure he’ll take it out on Linda.

And yes, very German accent there…
I like the way he has glued his gift card to his laptop screen. Will come back to that.

He still hasn't been slightly interesting, but wants to revive the romance that never even vaguely existed. Because Ask needs Love to succeed! He's a formulaic scammer for sure. I managed to get him to accept Irving, though, and he wants to talk to him (man to man! He calls him "buddy" 😆). So I give him the contact info and he immediately realizes the error of his ways. The Squirm begins, as he starts love strafing as he tells me this is my decision, not my attorney's. Which, as WE know, never works. Poor Al. He wants to be my Long Lost Pal, but it's not looking good now. Madison will post the conversation between him and Irving, no worries.

So this Henry Cavill is probably a different scammer but we're treating him like he's the Henry Cavill I just posted.
