One scammer located in Malaysia was so convinced that the was going to get a couple of thousand dollars from my character that he was more than happy to foot the bill for upwards of 30 phone calls to my New York number. Each time he would call I would ask him to “call back in ten” or “call back in a half an hour” and he would always comply.

Early one recent morning (about 4:00 AM New York time) I began receiving calls from this particular scammer who called himself Barrister Dennis Darshan. That was the day that my character had promised to wire him some money. Unfortunately, it’s far too early in the morning to be visiting the local Western Union agency but my character is willing to phone his colleague in London and get her to arrange for an immediate online money transfer to Barrister Darshan.

In this recorded 3-way “conference call”, the cast of characters include Holden McRotch in New York (me), Barrister Dennis Darshan in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (the scammer) and Miss Fonda Cox in London (a completely digitized voice). Listen to the scammer get frustrated with Fonda during this eight + minute phone call as he just couldn’t quite get that 8 digit Moneygram number right. At the end, he seems to hang up on me in frustration.
