For a change I decided to try a different type of lad. This script is brilliant. I'd urge everyone to have a go at him

Quote:

Hello Dear . (Dear???)

I am JOSEPH AGBOLI Police Officer from Ghana Accra Branch, How are you doing today, I want to let you know that i have finally confirm what is in the boxes which i was about to make the delivery to you.

I took the boxes for a scan and i find out that is money inside the boxes which your name is on them. And i am very surprise about it and i am afraid to make the shipment of the boxes to you because i don�t want it to be stolen on the way.

I want to let you now that the simple way for you is for me to send the money to you by western union which will be more safe for it, I will like you to give me the order for me to open it so that i can send the money bit by bit. So i will like you to give me the go-ahead to do it and i will like you to give the names which i will use to send the money by western union.

I can tell you that i can send up to $10,000 dollars with six names a day i want you to provide me with six names so that i will send it fast without wasting much time, and i will like to know how much will i take from it as my percentage for the help.

I wait for your reply soon.

Best Regards,

JOSEPH AGBOLI,
Police Officer.

So I wrote back to him "Boxes? What boxes?" and got this reply

Quote:

Hello Sir,
I have seen your email, So am about to go and get a cutter to cut the metallic box but the cutter could not open the box just because the box is a metallic box so i need to get a metallic cutter to open it, (sure, that makes sense...) I have spend my money to see that the box is open so that I can send the money via the western union as I told you and have my %, but the cutter cannot open it, it got broken when i am trying to do that, so we need to put head together to see that i can get the cutter today, because i am afraid when i find out that is money inside the box ,i don�t want to keep such amount of money with me. I verified the price of the cutter from the company that makes the sales,
This cutter is not sold to individual, just because of my position i am able to speak to them so they agreed. All we need to do is for us to get this cutter which they told me it cost $420 dollars for one and we need to get the cutter to open the box, I want you to come up with something so i can see what i can do from hear, you have to tell me now so that i can get the cutter today if there is still time for me i can send the money today i will do that for you after i have open the box, but i promise you that as soon as i open the box i will use the name that you gave me to send the money bit by bit. So try and get back to me, So that i can give you the name you will use to send the money for the cutter, to West Africa Ghana Accra as soon as possible today. I going out of my way to see how much i can get too, just let me know what you can still raise from your end true the western union so i can get it today to get the cutter.
Get back to me as soon as possible.
Best Regards
Joseph Agboli.

I have of course replied suggesting he pays for the cutter once he's used it to open the box. After all, there's plenty of money in there to pay for it.

^ That's a novel approach to the trunk box scam Laughing

.

I would ask him why can't he just borrow an axe from someone.

Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 2:07 pm

Why doesn't he just strap some dynamite to himself and blow it open that way? Apparently, it's de riguer in Iraq and Afghanistan at the moment when people lock themselves out of their cars. Shocked

I've offered to turn up with my private army and shoot my way into the box. They don't seem so keen to scam an armed to the teeth maniac, for some strange reason.

I've replied as Sid Bollocks, locksmith.

Perfect for one of my chars who works for We usually drill for whelk in the Gulf of Mexico, but we need some holiday cash and we've got the equipment.

I received one of the box cutter scams back in November 2006 (see http://www.scamorama.com/malcolm_reynolds_justice.html) but the monomaniacal Lad wouldn't be shifted off script. Mind you, he was also delusional (insisted we'd spoken on the phone when we hadn't).

Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 9:44 pm

I'd say you should risk sending the box through the mail. After all, if a Nigerian Police Officer can't get into it, then nobody else could

Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:27 pm

I had this exact same problem once. My Metallica box was absolutely hell to open, so I called the customer service hotline. As it turns out, I think all your lad needs to do is let you get in touch with Metallica and they'll send him directions on how to get in. Once they've verified that the contents of the box will not be used for any illegal purposes like violating copyrights (there will probably be lots of forms to fill out - Metallica has a big legal team), I'm sure they'll be happy to comply.

Just make sure your lad doesn't scan the contents too many more times and admit to it on the web. You know how Metallica gets when their boxes are scanned! Confused

Officer Agboli replied to Sid...

Quote:

Hello ,
I want to tell you that i have come up with the sum of $300 Dollar, so if you are ready for me to get this done, Then tell me so that i can give you the name that you will use to send the balance 120, So that i can add it to the $300 i have and get the cutter and cut the boxes open so that i can start the sending of the money to you,
Joseph Agboli.

So....

Quote:

Dear officer Agboli,
What type of cutter are you going to buy? You need to be careful. If you're going to use a gas cutter, for example, you might incinerate the cash, which would be bad. If you're going to use a disc cutter, the sparks could also ignite something, and since you don't know exactly what's inside the box, either option is a bit of a tightrope. It doesn't really sound like you know what you're doing, and I get the impression you're going to fuck this up spectacularly. It'll end in tears, left to you.

As luck would have it, I am a locksmith. Can you take a photograph of the lock? That way, I will be able to tell you how to pick the lock, and you can pay me part of the cash for my trouble. It must be a damned good lock, if a Nigerian police officer can't open it! Is it an ACME padlock? If it is, I need to tell you that a disk cutter won't go through it. The hardening process used in the manufacture of ACME locks makes such tools about as much use as, well, your penis.

Try to get that picture of the lock over here quick. I'll be waiting by the PC. Jog on.

May you be absolutely soaked in dogsbarf,
Sid.

Soaked in dogsbarf? Not a very nice thing to imagine...

I have an ongoing bait with this idiot which I will post if it goes to the next stage. We've gone through the metal cutter thing already. It was going to cost $420. I told him to borrow the money and then take enough out of the box to repay it once he got the box open. Not surprisingly, he was able to come up with $300 but still needed me to send $120.

Then I suddenly "realized" that if a policeman like him cannot open it then neither could a crook. So I told him just to send the boxes and I will open them. I told him I would prepay the shipping cost and include enough extra for a monetary gift for his trouble which he can collect when he drops off the boxes at the courier of my choice.

I guess I do have an ethical question. Can I send him to FedEx with some heavy boxes and a fake form and have him ask for his money? This is involving a third party but we do it all the time with WU amd MG.

Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 6:06 pm

No innocent parties would be hurt by that, and the lad would be muchly embarrassed. Sounds perfect. Very Happy

I have to say I doubt very much he'd get off his ass and do it for 120 dollars though.

I told him he needs very specialised cutting equipment, which will cost him 4,000 dollars, and I'm happy to provide that money.

Quote:

GO BACK TO THE MAIL YOU RECEIVERD AND READ IT VERY WELL BEFORE REPLY.

Wtf?

Quote:

Jesus H Christ Officer Agboli,

I waited here by this fucking computer ALL DAY, only for you to tell me to go back and read what I'd already read. If I hadn't already read your mail, I wouldn't have replied to it, would I? That's a pissy attitude you have, for a policeman. Do you want to get this bloody box open or not? If you want to open it with crappy, cheap cutting tools, then go ahead and reduce the money to ash. Don't say I didn't warn you.

If you still want some help getting that box open SAFELY, then get back to me with the type of lock on the bastard.

How are you?

I hope you are severely twatted soonest,

Love

Sid

^^^ Right about the $120. That's why I told him I was going to include $500 extra as a gift for his trouble. Twisted Evil

I'm not that good at picking locks or blowing up boxes, but I'll give it a go! Very Happy

He bit at the mention of a $500 monetary gift:

Quote:

Dear Friend,

I have no problem to take it to the courier office make sure you send there correct address to me.

Now I need some interactive FedEx or UPS forms.

Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 9:01 pm

I had the "I need $120" email as well.

Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 9:32 pm

Probably that item he promised the girl across the street is exactly 120 dollars.
He's hard to get off-script, I'll give him that. I doubt he's done much of this before. So far it's been an experience for him, anyway.

^^^ Oh, I had him off script with no difficulty. Still do. Very Happy

Now that he's hooked, here is his instructions from me (his name is J0seph Agb0li but I've been calling him "Jabolme"):

Quote:

Very Good boy Jablome,

Here is the address of the DHL office in Accra:

[address here]

Bring the metal boxes with you. They have been instructed not to give you the monetary gift amount unless you bring the boxes for shipment. Shipping on the boxes has been pre-paid by me. You will not have to pay anything. I estimated the weight of the two boxes at 100 pounds each. I told them the contents was "Africa clothing." I have already taken care of the customs forms. All you need to do is bring the boxes.

When you get to the DHL office tell them you are dropping off a pre-paid shipment for Mr. Ted D. Roosevelt of the United State. Tell them the payment code is 1DHL7XXXC34. The security question is "Bully?" and the correct answer is "Pulpit." They will also know about the $500 monetary gift. That is why there is security question.

Hurry and complete this transactions. I will let you know how much moneys was in the boxes when I get them open. I am going to have a big party with all my friends for the opening of the boxes.

Sincerely,

Ted D. Roosevelt

Now let's see if he shows up at DHL with a couple of hundred-pound boxes! Laughing

It seems this "policeman" lost his police car:

Quote:

Did you want me to take my leg to DHL office in accura or what did you want please go to hell.

In "accura"? Maybe he has a car after all?

Quote:

Jablome,

I don't care whether you take your leg or you ride a goat to DHL, just get there tomorrow or no money for me at all. Drive in a police car you idiot.

BTW -- Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread with my bait.

Trophy Videos · Posted: Wed Dec 26, 2007 11:55 am

Well, I jumped on the bandwagon, and I'm trying to get my "fruit" picture.
Here's our conversation so far...hehehe
He's gettting really short with his answers, and not answering most of the questions I ask. Evil or Very Mad

The pressure must really be on him from this massbait or something. Very Happy

Regards,

Wayne

========
Dear Mr. Agboli,

The cutter you say you need only costs 400. That is a great deal of money, and so is 120 dollars for that matter. I think I could find one for less than that online. What kind of box do we need to cut? What is it made of?

Regards,

Wayne
=======
Mistake the cost of the cutter is $420 please kindly send the balance today.
======
Dear Mr. Agboli,

How do I send money True Western Union? We have no True Western Union here.

Regards,

Wayne
=======
Dear Friend,

Send it via money gram.
========
Dear Mr. Agboli,

We do have a MoneyGram office, but it's a long way for me to get there, about 100 miles.
Before I travel there, can you give me proof that it exists? A picture or something like documentation? And a picture of you would be good, holding a banana, so I know I am writing to you.

Warm Regards this Season of Joy,

Wayne

Dear Friend,

Are you seriouse or a joker. How can you ask me to hold a banana. If you need the money do what i ask you or forget about this deal i will take care of it by my own self.
