Elliot B. Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 [*]George Agdgdgwngo (pronounced Ag-dug-dug-gwengo) is a very polite African scammer from the Republic of Agdgdgwngo. He tries to obtain people's bank account details in a variety of ways, such as needing the details to obtain access to a bank vault due to it being steam cleaned or decorated for Christmas, a man suffering cardiac arrest inside or to remove a Ugandan pigeon. He claims to be a representative of several companies including Money Removal Plc, Bank Festive Redistribution Plc., and the Eastern Union (a word play on Western Union, often used by scammers) Money Transfer and is usually unsuccessful in obtaining people's details, believing one man's sort code was "**** off", although another man did give his account number, although it appeared to be him reading the lottery numbers out of a newspaper and security question, although as the answer to his security question was that he was claiming his uncle was "Jimmy Savile." Therefore, it's easy to assume the "victim" was playing along with George as a wind-up. Another method George uses is to tell people they have won a cash prize or CPM aka "Cash Prize Monies!" that needs to be transferred to their bank account, but it is always a very small sum of money. George gives the amount in Ugandan Dollars before converting to sterling using his 70s computer, which is next to a photo of Chris Eubank. Interestingly, the Ugandan Dollar does not actually exist but equates to about 4900 per British pound, yet there is a Ugandan Shilling which equates to approx 3400 per British pound. He works for Terry Tibbs Motor Group as a security guard and still conducts scams during work, to Tibb's annoyance. He also works for British Gas along with his cousin, Benson. He often opens with the line "Good morning/afternoon/evening sir/madam!" regardless of who answers the phone or time of day. He is wanted by the Zimbabwe telephone fraud prevention unit. [*]Mr. Doovd?> is a camel riding aficionado of electrical goods who has no belief in Acronyms and initialisms, and mistakes them for pronounceable words, e.g. 'Hoomv' (HMV), 'Doovd?' (DVD), 'Joovc' (JVC), 'Poosp?' (PSP), 'Loocde Tiv' (LCD TV), 'Puss 2/3' (Playstation 2 and Playstation 3), 'Dhuss' (Nintendo DS) H?hp (HP), Ibim (IBM), ?sb, which is pronounced as "Oosb"(USB), Voocr? (VCR) & Vhurs (VHS) . At the beginning of most episodes, he phones Directory Enquiries and asks for places in the same way as he does for the electrical goods. Examples that have been shown so far are: 'Duhfs' (DFS), 'P?k World' (PC World), 'Doovlah' (DVLA) , 'Duhul' (DHL) & 'Bup' (BP) . In the E4 Christmas Message, he asks about putting the 'hututupuh' (http) and woo.hoomv.co.uhk (www.hmv.co.uk) .He also asked an electrical salesman if the TV he was enquiring about was "ready for de hood?" (HD Ready). As he tells the salepeople what he wants, Japanese, Indian or Bollywood-style adverts appear on screen that features Kayvan Novak himself. He appears to be riding his camel in front of inner-city Jerusalem.Terry Tibbsbbs is a car salesman who calls various sellers about items on offer, and drives a hard bargain. He is a caricature of Cockney Geezers, and an ageing Spiv. He begins his phone calls with the item on offer then says "talk to me." He never actually makes a deal, as he often ends his phone calls with a low offer and "Thank you and goodnight - much love", although sometimes he makes an extremely high offer, confusing the person he is talking to. He can often be heard saying catchphrases such as: "She's a feisty one isn't she", "Talk to me", "That's why they call me Terry Tibbs", "Beautiful Car, Beautiful", "Do something for ****s sake!!" and "Hang about love". Items he has tried to buy include wooden ladders for Russian gentlemen and Maserati 3200s.The Mouseuse is a smart rodent who requires the regular help from local services, such as a vet because he's been poisoned after eating some cheese with green powder on it, or an exterminator to take care of a cat that ate his mother, father, brother and his cousin from the country. He is also an Oasis tribute artist playing on northbound platform 3 of Oxford Circus tube station. At the end of every one of his sketches, he dies or it is implied that he will die.Brian Betondende is a man who has a speech impediment where everything he says ends up starting with the letter 'B'. His accent is like art critic Brian Sewell. The impediment is prevented if Brian takes medication. Brian has made a call before without his speech affecting the call, when he rang a restaurant to ask about his blind date. It was also revealed that Brian is in fact homosexual.Mr. Migginsins is a confused OAP who made his d?but asking about a Genie who popped out of a brass lamp, whose appearance has now changed, and is now as confused as the person on the other end of the phone line. In episode 6, it is revealed Mr. Miggins' first name is Michael.<Detective Horace Von Khutehute is a telephone fraud prevention officer from Zimbabwe, and is known to ask victims questions pertaining to a previous prank call. He speaks in a hushed, gravelly, South African tone. Also, Detective Horace has an unusually long telephone number, making it hard to give and confirm that it is correct. His office uses an assortment of old, outdated telephones and analogue cassette tapes to track fraudsters. His most wanted Criminal is George Agdgdgwngo.<MikeMike is a Northern Irish tele-salesman who calls on the behalf of rudely named companies asking the victim questions about things such as their personal life or the tragic plight of the wrinkled ball sack.<The Chinese DVD GangGang is a group of illegal, obese Chinese students who obviously attempt to illegally record films in cinemas. One member also claims to be a Chinese Samuel L. Jackson lookalike.<The Flat LineLine is an "automated" service for people wanting to buy or rent properties around the country. Callers are usually unsuccessful in their efforts as the service selects the incorrect properties. At the start of the conversation, the 'automated' service will usually make a "beep" to allow the caller to speak, but towards the end of conversations, delays the beep until the person actually speaks, forcing them into repeating the same word. One person did manage to select the correct property, only to have the service malfunction totally, saying it has been rented. This is the only time people have phoned the Fonejacker, rather than the other way around, aside from Episode Six of Series 1 where Terry Tibbs was seen to receive a phone call. The photo of the Flat Line representative is hollywood film actor James Mason, the voice also bares a striking similarity.<Criminal DaveDave is a bank robber who usually has quite large serious flaws in his plans. For example he attempts to schedule a get-away in a minicab and to arrange for a locksmith to open the bank's safe.<Jafooleyoley alias, The Beatboxer is a man who phones a company or shop and beatboxes to give details confusing the 'victim' . These pranks are done using a hidden camera instead of animation.<Mr. Broadbandingsings is an Indian man who works in a call centre in India for Internet Service Providings, a highly-priced ISP that promises "42 megabytings" data speed and "a better providings than your current providings". He also works for Mobile Network Providings.<Donald Donaldsondson is a posh sounding bisexual gentleman who phones hotel receptions and security guards asking for sexual favours from males. He does have a wife and believes she is cheating on him. He is believed to enjoy champagne, nibbles, and '****ing like rabbits'.<Vishka Vishkovskivski is a Russian circus act whose act involves an 'amazing dancing bear on the hot coals'. He phones up a circus agency to ask for a job, often repeating his name and act several times.Source:rce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonejacker#Characters Mine is definitely Mike.

Lt-DavidW Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 "Good morning afternoon sir madam. I am calling you today from your bank's serious offices in the Republic of Agdgdgwngo. It seems that because of, erm, routine maintenance of our servers, that we have accidentally lost all your bank details. We will have no option but to close your account and withdraw all the monies unless you can confirm to me now please your name and credit card details." Well hey, it fools people when it arrives in their inbox! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
