Fraudsters asked the student to transfer money to their account. The guy was not taken aback and circled them around his finger

A creative student who fell for an online scammer laughed at him, deceiving him for 25 pounds.

22-year-old DJ Ross Walsh from Limerick in Ireland decided to play with the swindler according to his own rules, after he received an email from the self-proclaimed “big business banker” informing about the special offer. Ross replied that he was prepared to offer £ 50, 000 for a stake in the new stock trading business.

A student who has already done this trick with unsuspecting scammers twice has reported on Facebook that he sent a receipt to the scammer confirming that a large amount was transferred to his account, but wrote to him that the transaction was stopped by the bank because of a suspicion of fraud. Ross asked him to transfer £ 25 to “prove” that they are business partners.

The "businessman" pecked at it, and Walsh donated money to the cancer fund.

The student received an email from Solomon Gandhi asking him to send him £ 1, 000 in exchange for half of his stock trading business.

Ross replied that he could instead send him £ 50, 000, as £ 1, 000 was an “insult.”

The message read: “Hello, friend, glad to meet you. I know that this letter will come as a surprise to you, but let me want to do business with you. My name is Solomon, and I am a large business banker who wants to do business with fellow enthusiasts. I want you to invest £ 1000 in my company in exchange for half the business. My business is stock trading. Last week I earned a small amount of £ 35, 000. You may wonder why I need 1, 000 pounds when I have 35 thousand? I want to teach young businessmen their knowledge, which is offered at a fair price. If you send me a £ 1000 paypal transfer, we can start getting rich right away. ”

Business offer

The student decided to play with an online scammer according to his own rules. Ross replied: “My dear Solomon, I am glad to receive your intriguing business proposal. As you know, I am a very enthusiastic businessman and I think that 1000 pounds is an insult. I have enclosed a payment confirmation of £ 50, 000. There is one thing that you must understand when doing business in Europe: we do everything in a big way. Please contact me as soon as possible to discuss our next step."

He also suggested that they communicate using the code words from the heir “final” for business and “square” for PayPal.

The “entrepreneur” immediately answered the DJ and told him that the money had not yet appeared on his account.

Problems with the bank

Ross told Gandhi that the bank had delayed the transfer because there were suspicions of fraud, and suggested that he send £ 25 as proof that this is not the case: “You will be pleased to know that I have already encountered this problem many times, and it is easy to fix. In fact, my bank freezes transactions when there are fears that this could be fraud, and I know that it’s not. ”

Ross added: “This happened to me for the third time, and the bank quickly resolved this problem. In order to unfreeze assets, they need a small amount of money to go from your account to mine in order to prove that this is not a scam. Last time, 25 pounds was enough. ”
