Tell him the bank has offered you the alternative of sending them a picture of the recipient with the name of the bank in a piece of paper or something like that to verify his identity. A picture (even if it's a photoshopped one. hopefully badly) would be a good trophy of this experience.

Tell this person you're worried about him possibly being a scammer and ask for a photo of them holding a sign that says 'Neogaf believe'. That will demonstrate good faith.

He sent me photos of "hinself" and his daughter in the beginning. I just didn't share them on here as I'm sure those people are completely unrelated to this scam.

Have you tried to use reverse Google Images to discover the origin of the photo?

Understandable. He probably just grabbed any old photo off Google.

DATE:05/09/2014.

THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT THE MANAGEMENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THIS BANK HAS RISEN FROM A MEETING HELD TODAY THE 5TH OF SEPTEMBER 2014 ON YOUR BEHALF AND IN REGARDS TO THE APPLICATION LETTER TENDERED TO THIS OFFICE ON YOUR BEHALF.

WE THE BANQUE ATLANTIQUE OFFICIALS ARE WRITING TO LET YOU KNOW THAT TO SEND MONEY TO US THROUGH OUR BANK'S CASHIER FROM YOUR COUNTRY OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY DOES NOT REQUIRE US TO SEND ANY MONEY TO YOU FIRST.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY TO KNOW IF OUR ACCOUNT REALLY EXIST? DO YOU MEAN TO INSINUATE THAT OUR BANK IS NOT REAL OT WHAT? NOW YOU LISTEN TO US IT IS EITHER YOU SEND THE REACTIVATION FEE TO US WITH OUT ANY FURTHER DELAY OR YOU WRITE A STATEMENT WHICH STATES THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THIS TRANSACTION SO THAT WE CAN TERMINATE THIS TRANSACTION.

TO SEND US THE REACTIVATION FEE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO ANY MONEY GRAM IN YOUR COUNTRY AND GIVE THEM THE PAYMENT INFORMATION WE GAVE TO YOU AND THE MONEY WILL BE SENT TO US WITH OUT ANY DELAY AND YOU MAY BE CHARGED USD50 AS PAYMENT TO THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE AND NOT FOR US TO SEND YOU USD50 BEFORE YOU CAN SEND MONEY FROM YOUR COUNTRY TO US.

WE WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE PRESENT PREDICAMENT OF HONORABLE BARRISTER DAMIJO FRANCIS SICK DAUGHTER AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY WE HAVE NOT YET TERMINATED THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TERMINATED THIS TRANSACTION SINCE LAST WEEK AND CONFISCATE THE TOTAL FUND AS (ABANDONED PROPERTY).

URGENTLY SEND US THE FEE WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION S:

NAME: MISHACK MORRIS

TEXT QUESTION: COUNTRY

ANSWER: LOME-TOGO

ADDRESS: BOULEVARD DE 13 JANVIER LOME-TOGO

COUNTRY:TOGO

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS MAY BE THE VERY LAST TIME YOU WILL RECEIVE ANY MESSAGE FROM US IF YOU DO NOT SEND THE REACTIVATION FEE TO US BECAUSE THIS IS NOT HOW OUR BANK OPERATES.

IT'S OUR PLEASURE GIVEN YOU THE BEST OF OUR SERVICES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION.

It seems like the management board of this bank has relaxed tasks, considering how often they "have risen" just to communicate with a customer.

Also, I like this very subtle threat:

Send an email saying you got it sent finally! But list the information and have it say you sent it to some account that's like 1 number off from his.

Were account numbers involved? I think this is all of the info to send a money gram.

So say that you sent it and ask him to let you know that it has been received. He'll say that he didn't get it and then you say, I did send it and copy/paste the above but with with some typo like "MISHACK MORRUS"

See if he picks up on the typo.

I have just risen from a meeting and am delighted by updates.

Please divert this conversation around sending cash as long as possible.

Haha, this is so good.

"TO SEND MONEY TO US THROUGH OUR BANK'S CASHIER FROM YOUR COUNTRY OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY DOES NOT REQUIRE US TO SEND ANY MONEY TO YOU FIRST."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY TO KNOW IF OUR ACCOUNT REALLY EXIST? DO YOU MEAN TO INSINUATE THAT OUR BANK IS NOT REAL OT WHAT? NOW YOU LISTEN TO US . . ."

"TO SEND US THE REACTIVATION FEE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO ANY MONEY GRAM IN YOUR COUNTRY. . ."

". . .WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TERMINATED THIS TRANSACTION SINCE LAST WEEK AND CONFISCATE THE TOTAL FUND AS (ABANDONED PROPERTY)."

They're so mad it's beautiful.

Don't know what to respond with. Maybe an equally emotion, sad, frustrated response about how they're too cheap to save the little girl? Maybe lower the cost or ask for a goofy picture.

Transfer him $1.350 instead of $1,350. Then send him a picture of the receipt like this:

If you conclude you're too busy to escalate it further Shiggy I think whenever you wrap it up you send them a link to the thread with something like 'click here to verify funds' as a wrapper around it

Send them a seriously looking professional email with name of professional sounding legal office in Washington DC asking for details as part of OCC audit due to unusual transaction attempt with request of contact information for person in charge of the bank.

Tell him and the bank you've had enough of this international money transfer nightmare and just booked a flight to Togo.
