Megaupload doesn't work for me, and I can't get the full file from fackue's mirror. I only got 2.67MB.

Sounds almost like he's using one of those voice masking devices.

The main thing I got out of that phone conversation:

"Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Delire compresa?"

Seriously, WTF? Does that really comprise half his English vocab?

The only thing that doesn't sound like a pregenerated response is the constant "hello"'s.

I called him again today. This one is definitely better than yesterday's. I waited until just before 8:00pm Pacific Time. He's in England, so it was around 4:00am there. Needless to say, he wasn't happy to be talking to me. :lol:

I think you should give his number to the real Lloyds TSB Bank, to see if they can help speed up the process :twisted:

Roofus, one thing: he was asking for driver's license, passport number, etc. It seems he's more interested in your documents than in your money. I bet he's collecting documents to send people into the US, so it may be a good idea to contact the federal authorities.
