If you’re coming into this at Part 3 of my Fun with Phishing Scams series, you really need to read Part 1 and Part 2 – then come back here!

So I finally heard back from Matheis after my slew of ridiculous questions, and his tone of voice sounded kind of annoyed that I wouldn’t just give him the info he wanted.

Listen, there’s no reason to be curt, sir. I just had a few follow up questions for him:

Good morning, Matheis,

I just wanted to double check on a few things before getting that to you. I’m still not clear on:

• Which bank will we be going through
• Is it a credit union
• Do I need to pay taxes
• Why wasn’t I invited to the funeral
• Current phone number for Aunt Mabel
• Does this look infected
• Huge cardboard check or suitcase of money
• Will I be travelling to recieve the funds
• How long will the trip take

You hadn’t mentioned needing my ID before – unfortunately I don’t have a government issued identification card right now but I’m sure we can work sinething out. Can you put me in touch with someone that might be able to photoshop one for me? If he can deliver the files at 300dpi in CMYK color mode, I can take care of the printing. Cardstock should do the trick, right?

Thanks Matheis, I’m also thinking I might not work anymore when I recieve the money. Being retired at 37 would be awesome.

Thanks to your kind reply,
Steph

Don’t worry, Matheis didn’t stop there. Check out Part 4 of our Fun with Phishing Scams series!
