El timo del banco africano (I): engañando al timador

El otro día recibí el correo electrónico que copio más abajo de una tal Nafissa Baw (en negro).
Hello.

My name is Nafissa in search of a man who understands love as trust and faith rather seeing it as a way of fun, but a matured man with good sense of humor, reading about you i develop interest on you, i believe we can start from here, waiting for your reply so that i can send my pictures and further introductions.

kisses Nafissa ..

Hola..

Mi nombre es Nafissa en busca de un hombre que entiende el amor como la confianza y la fe en lugar de verlo como una forma de diversión, si no un hombre con una maduración buen sentido del humor, la lectura acerca de usted i desarrollar el interés en ti, creo que podemos empezar desde aquí, a la espera de su respuesta para que yo pueda enviar mis fotos y más presentaciones.

Nafissa besos......

Como ya había leído en la web Ebola Monkey Man -cuya lectura recomiendo encarecidamente-, temas parecidos, me propuse tomar el pelo yo también al que pretendía tomarme a mí, más que el pelo, el dinero. Ni corto ni perezoso, respondí tanteando al timador (en azul):
It seems you have mistaken the person. I am postrated in a wheelchair -luckily I have inherited several funds from my parents and I have no need to care about my condition- so I have no experience in love, as you can imagine... I had once something like a relationship, but it was before I quitted Alcoholic Anonymous and falled in alcoholism again. Please, let me know where you read about me, because I was told by my therapist that he wouldn't publish my personal info in his article.

Kind Regards,

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

ScammerNo fue necesario esperar demasiado hasta que recibí una contestación a la sarta de disparates que había escrito, convenientemente ilustrada con supuestas fotografías de la remitente -supongo que tomadas en el archiconocido campo de refugiados senegalés del reverendo Padre Benjamin Patrick Colli-, como la que se puede observar a la izquierda de estas líneas. Esta querencia de los timadores africanos por retratarse, buscando darle un viso de verosimilitud a la correspondencia, resulta muy útil para chanzas posteriores -como se puede ver en Ebola Monkey-, dándole una vuelta de tuerca, más jocosa aún si cabe, al intercambio epistolar.

¡Bingo! Se había tragado el anzuelo hasta el fondo. ¿El anzuelo? El anzuelo, la boya y poco le faltó para empalarse con la caña. ¿Esta gente lee lo que les escriben? Una oportunidad así no podía dejarla pasar; por supuesto, le respondí, pero esta vez llevándolo un paso más allá. Ya no sólo soy un inválido, alcohólico y con problemas psiquiátricos llamado Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, sino que mi psiquiatra se llama Sancho Panza y soy de una iglesia satánica con sede en Narnia. Mi agente artístico no es menos literario:
Hi Nafisa,

Luckily I'm recovered from the sedation they gave in the Asylum. I will be happy to help you but first I have to arrange some afairs in order to leave the mental institution where I must stay these last days. My therapist, Dr. Sancho Panza has told me that I will allowed to come back home maybe in a week, as long as I keep with my medication.

Unfortunately, my beliefs forbid me to talk with a christian priest, so it'll be impossible to phone you, but don't care, I will ask the priest of my Satanic Parish for being excused by the Unholy Greatest Antipope of the Unholy Black Church, but as for sure you are aware, the request must be sent to Narnia where His Unholiness lives, and it will take some time.

Since I'll be not at home for a while, I'd rather keep in contact by email, but if you really need to contact me by ordinary post, feel free to contact my artistic agent, who will be pleased to kindly attend you, in this address:

Mr. Sherlock Holmes
221B Baker Street
London NW1, UK

Kind Regards,
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
