Nigerian Prince To Give NTMA A Call
“I’D RETIRED the prince scam about a decade ago, it was too well known, a dead meme really but when I heard the NTMA were scammed out of €5mn I thought it couldn’t hurt to try”
The words of a lifelong scammer Aidan MacMurthy, who has brought a long dormant scam of his out of retirement now that he knows the State agency overseeing the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund can fall for rudimentary scams.
“I usually stay away from places like the government agency in charge of the State’s assets and liabilities but if a phishing scam with a simple invoice and voice impersonation can work on them why am I bothering texting your mam and dad about An Post tax charges or looking for money to be put on Amazon gift cards, y’know? ” outlined MacMurthy who got his start in the scamming business selling packets of tissues in Waterford city for a euro.
“What a lot of people don’t know about scams is that they’re so poorly worded and obviously fake because scammers are only interested in catching the most stupid and inept of marks, that’s why these things work,” explained MacMurthy who will ring the NTMA later today using a questionable Nigerian accent while simply stating ‘give me money now thank you’.
MacMurthy’s desire to bring this classic scam back seems to be an attempt to change a rush of nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ in his life despite moving on in recent years to a more legitimate means of making money.
“My main job now doesn’t have the same buzz; underbidding for lucrative state infrastructure projects and then dragging the arse out of them and invoicing for five, six times the initial project cost is a bit too squeaky clean a living for me. I need that rush that comes with running scams,” explained MacMurthy as he talked the NTMA receptionist through how to transfer money the prince’s account which the NTMA would get ten-fold once the prince gains access to their own cash supply very soon.
The Garda Fraud Squad were unable to comment on the case as they have just won €1,000,000,000,000 by clicking on an ad on a dodgy crypto website.
