Brilliant. Had me in stitches! Really hope she gets back to you! :rotfl:

As I hadn't heard from Wendy for a while, I decided to send her a further follow up email.
I felt that I was losing her, so I thought I'd go for broke....

Hi Wendy,
I haven't heard from you since Friday.
I haven't yet received payment.
I am very much needing this money urgently as my cousin's sister's dog's husband's mother's brother's friend urgently needs medical attention. If they are not receiving this money then their much urgently operation to be curing their folliculitis cannot go ahead. And I'm sure I do not need to be telling you what a terrible circumstance that would be being.
Please let me know when I will be receiving the much needed funds.
If you do not want to help save this person, please let me know as I already have another buyer interested (and they don't even want a gift card).
Many be thanking yous as always,
Andrew

Well it's certainly been fun, but I do believe that Wendy may have clicked on to what was happening.... It's a shame, because I was going to send her a link to this thread :rotfl:

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted!
Many thanks to one and all for your support in my scam baiting - you kept me going! Thanks for all your suggestions - I look forward to using them on future unsuspecting scammers :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hi again all,
As I'm relatively bored on breaks and lunches, I've decided to start a blog dedicated to making scammers look stupid. You can find the emails about Wendy on there as well.
I'm currently working on a nice chap from New Zealand that wants to give me lots and lots of money for not a lot of work.
I know I can't post a link on here cos I'm still a newbie - If someone else felt like doing it for me (pm me for the address), I'd be most appreciative! :j
You can find me on Blogspot.com and my blog's called Scamdogs (named after Wendy's request for a dog card, which i'd sadly run out of ).

Thanks again for all your support and see you at the blog!

Heres a link to the most recent blog entry - it looks like fun!
