We all know the scammers sending mass mails announcing us that we receive a large sum of money but ask us to pay several fees in advance. But some day, a scammer choose to contact me via my website chat rather than sending emails.
This was “property purchase” type of scam, so probably looking for real estate websites, found mine, which have articles about multiple countries, but don’t know how he landed in North Korea article, and assumed that I am living in North Korea. A very IDIOT scammer, North Korea is the only country in the world where nobody can purchase properties (communist government own all real estate) and there is no internet access, so being online should have been obvious that I am living elsewhere.
At first stage I tried to show that I am a naive guy that do not know anything about nigerian scams, e and asked for explanations why he choose to deposit money in bank account of someone meet via a website without reading About Me page. He said that will send me an email, this moment I said that want to see how many million dollars he have (to show that I am aware of scams), despite of this he did sent me an email, and I replied shortly, because I was too busy to do a proper scambaiting as I was doing few years ago.
