Yes, but not just ANY X Factor phone number - it's Aslan's number from last weekend:
Sorry, I mean Rylan:

OK now if you thought the stuff we have had so far is funny I suggest you go an apply some bandages to your rib cage because you may otherwise split your sides. A nappy might be a good idea at this point too.
I guess it is a good thing that these people clearly do not speak English as their first language. Apart from the fact it makes it so funny to read, it also makes it a whole heap more obvious that this is not something to trust. They really should employ someone English to write their stuff.
Anyway, enough anticipation - I am teasing you.
Here is the email I just got from the delivery company.

Better still is the pdf file which is attached to the email. I particularly like the endorsement from Barclays (which is obviously genuine because they have the Barclays logo) and Kelly's address ("Road Dublin 3, Dublin 3, Ireland"). I have printed this pdf out, covered up some personal info and then scanned it in so I am able to confirm that it is virus free to you and safe to open. I hope the one on my PC is too. Oh well.
Now this is the best bit. They also have a website. It is pure comedy gold.

PS Does anyone know anyone who works for Barclays? One thing I am minded to do is call their fraud people as these dirt bags are using a Barclays account which should be closed down, or better still frozen if there is money in it today. If anyone has an inside line to Barclays please PM me.

OK well I am going to put my reply back to Kelly in a separate post as I am worried that this one is getting a bit big. Stand by.

I'd report it here:

Well I'm not giving up yet:
If someone can find me a freecall number to call Barclays on I'll sort it out tomorrow and make sure it goes through to a proper fraud department
Not working at the moment so may as well do something useful with my time

Cheers - worth doing as well as the Actionfraud thing. Would be great if they could keep the account open until some money comes in, then freeze it before these see-you-next-Tuesdays hoover it out, but I am quite sure that won't be possible.
One thing I am amazed by is that they have an account with Barclays, not using Western Union or some other money transfer company.
Well, a lot of people, even really thick ones know to steer clear of Western Union transfers.

This thread is brilliant. I've just been laughing out loud and husband is wondering what I'm reading. Have to say though that the whole Maxi wife thing is a tad scary.....he seems to be playing the part a little too well. Looking forward to next installment!

You could send them a nominal payment of £1 & then say you were concerned about them being able to receive the money safely so you have made an initial deposit to verify the transfer process. That way they will have actually committed fraud, rather than just behaving with the intent to commit fraud.

Right, back on topic: the heat is being turned up now. I have had two more emails from EU-Mobile. I'm not sure if these are totally standard or sent in response to my request to pay cash. We'll see. This is the first one:
I thought I'd reply to Gabriel seeing as he sounds like such an angel.
This is the other one which I think I will leave for now. The English is really bad.

Thanks. I'm not sure which sickens me more - the fact that these thieving scumbags must occasionally steal a lot of someone's hard earned money, or the thought of shagging Maxi and his hairy leg.
Actually, on second thoughts, having Ahmett as my son and heir is probably worse still.

Nah, the penalties for attempting or conspiring are the same as for the act, and I am a tad reluctant to actually tell them my bank account details.
Plus my wife would murder me if I did. [My real wife - not Maxi].
