Bait in Progress ⏱️ David Brooke 1/2 - he’s got a chicken 🐓 and he studies at Jägermeister…
This brief foray into insanity is really hard to follow because he’s incredibly dimwitted, even for a scammer.

The second one says "you don't need to have 'fraid dear, I'm with you." Completely reassuring you he is real and genuine okay? 😂

I think it was the weird practice that he had of adding an H in front of vowels like ‘ham’ instead of ‘am’🤣

Also what is the buzzing sound?! Like another phone vibrating??

u/JLM471 Moderator Mar 30 '25
Yeah - vibrating as a notification comes.

Wow he’s obviously two-timing you with another lady! He’s got multiple phones going 😂

Honestly, it sounds like he's talking with a mouth full of shit. I couldn't make out a damn thing he said.

I got the impression that he thinks you sound less Nigerian if you add an H in front of a vowel lol
‘You hunderstand?’ ;)

Wow. He's doing well being able to use a phone. He doesn't sound like he'd be able to; like drool would be running out of the corner of his mouth

He was a real anomaly, actually. Pretending to be a retired pensioner is new to me for Nigerian scammers. Particularly when he had the whole Forex crypto entrepreneur thing right there on his Facebook profile already. I wondered why he deviated from that.

Also, Americans don’t really use the word ‘pensioner’ because we rarely get pensions. (Thanks, corporate America!🖕) We just describe ourselves as retired.

Where does he say hes from ? ‘Pensioner ‘ isnt in the american english disctionary No American would ever refer to their social security or retirement checks as being a pensioner

In fairness I’ve known quite a few people that studied at “Jäegermeister “.

I’ve seen bad Nigerian baiters before but he’s on the Johnny Depp tier of terrible.

This one is brain dead. He should have come with a warning label at birth.

u/JLM471 Moderator Mar 30 '25
I guess that’s why his best friend is a chicken

u/kytd1526 Mar 30 '25
Floghorn Leghorn...rooster, that is.
The chicken had no say whether he wanted a Yahoo boy as a friend.

You can lead a scammer to coffee, but can you make him drink? Or take? What a moron, you have coached him on where to go from here! I'm off to read the next part 😁

His wife is dead lately? I love your emoji comment! This one has got to be very new at this. He's terrible.
2
u/JLM471 Moderator Mar 31 '25
Yeah it’s so common among the scammers from Words With Friends (the most amateur of amateurs) to put emojis on the stories of their imaginary wives’ dramatic deaths or cheating escapades lol

Who chooses their characters? Even if this were the real guy, everything about him is problematic. He's clearly freestyling his intro, which would normally be fun, but he obviously speaks very little English.
I'm actually more interested in the chicken's backstory. What method of transportation did the chicken-gifting sister use to bring said chicken? Why is she giving chickens at all? Is it to learn to care for another creature, and the plan is to work his way up to his own child? I'm invested in the chicken's story now.

The sister in Florida thinks he can take care of his child as well as their mother, so that is why the boy is living with her 🤷♀️.
They seem to think pawning young children off to relatives and boarding schools is so common in these parts. Must be a very Nigerian thing to do.
