Scammer Poses As "Facebook Claim Agent" Using Kyle Maclachlan's Photo And Gets Ass Literally Handed To Him
There I was having a productive today working on something for a friend, when into my lap fell a beautiful opportunity that I just could not resist. At first I thought it was the Hollywood actor seeking my friendship. Turned out he works for Facebook and has $300k for me. Seeing as though it was a Bank Holiday weekend and it was raining I decided to have some fun with him discussing my hemorrhoids and plans for spending my fortune.
At first I thought I had made it, Kyle Maclachlan wants to be my friend!
Bad news = Turns out he just looks like him.
Killer Bonus = Darryll F Stockdale is from the Facebook!!!!!
I could hardly maintain my excitement, nor my control of my caps and grammar
Advanced automated random computer search from the Facebook you say?
My new friend then offered up this beauty
As you can imagine this got me PUMPED
I thought I had lost him but he was clearly not noticing I had noticed his copy and paste shizzle
There it was! MY NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was it, I just couldn’t hold my excitement
I then decided it was time to move our relationship up a level..............he didn't mind
I then got excited about all the things I could do with my money
As you guys know there are a lot of scammers out there but this guy is good, he is just keen to get me my money
I thought my middle name was too obvious but this man meant business
Try as I might, I couldn’t get Darryll’s advice on my wish list and even my address didn't ring any bells
Nor my occupation
You can’t see how happy my dog was in that screenshot so here you go
Ever the professional, Darryll kept his eyes on the prize
I started to worry I had been too obvious, but then I remembered it’s Bank Holiday Monday and it’s raining.
Still no luck recognising Kyle Machlachlan
I thought I was losing him again with the big choices ahead
Once more our Darryll was not to be easily distracted by such fuss and folly, not when he had much bigger fish to fry............and then it arrived
Not just that though, just to ensure authentic validation I also received...
As you can imagine I was extremely pleased and sure, that email address seems legit
He still wasn't having it
Still not biting, has he not seen Kyle Maclachan in Desperate Housewives, SNL, Sex and the City…anything?
He was expecting me to come to their office in person, I let him know how I felt
I love his flair, the winner must come down due to some security reason. Here’s the list of the winners and fools who didn’t collect
He showed me another winner
Bless old Darryll and his mates, they aren't familiar with Google's Reverse Image Search
But yes, I am ready for the delivery charges. I then decided to introduce Darryll to Kyle Maclachlan’s wife, Desiree Gruber
Darryll was so not impressed by his wife that he threatened to take me off the list of winners
Ah of course. So I copied and searched for the gambling act and naturally this is quoted on loads of 419 scams
I then tried to get him to recognise himself again
Still not getting it, such is his determination
Darryll focused on his Endgame
All the excitement was proving too much for my stomach
Almost 5 hours passed and no SMS! And then....
Now just two things stood in the way of me and my millions
While not exactly helpful, at least he was understanding
Just not for long as I was being too unserious
Sympathetic and professional Darryll returned when he knew I was not being unserious
Just not for long
I reached out to him
Just a simple scan of my drivers licence and the money is closer!
