He's just given me the old "bad internet connection please call me" email. I am considering calling, letting it ring once, and then hanging up.

Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 11:27 pm

@bohigal-is the account the same on I posted earlier and reported?I'm curious if the prior one may have been closed yet.I also got the internet connection problem,please call me message earlier.He seems a suspicious type,and if he even has 2 brain cells that rub together,it has to be dawning on him that he is being baited without mercy.I think he is trying to separate the "jokers" from those who may actually cough up a few bucks.Gee,and I even asked him to pet the camel for me.

^^ I think that's exactly what he's doing. I called him pretty late last night after I got his "Call me urgently" email and the poor pastor was utterly confused and was yelling something about bad connections. I told him that we needed more documentation from him and he promised to get onto it first thing in the morning. What a good mugu!

I think if you give him a quick call on Skype he'll think you're genuine and you'll all get your unicorns and griffins. Wink

By the way, whenever you call a mugu why does it sound like he is stood right in front of a combination of a car crash in progress, a plate smashing competition and a children's party?

@dh: It's the same account. No surprise he's still using it; I understand it takes a while for Alan to get a successful closure. If you google this account holder "Groupe Nastelle" you'll see they have their sticky mugu fingers in many shady businesses ranging from scrap metal to foodstuff export.

Rasta Balls has totally fallen for E-ZTr@ck and is logging in to check the transaction almost hourly, like a rat at the cocaine bar. Too bad it will be cancelled 5 days from now for "failed security check - originating country."

Eejit has given me the same "call if srius pls" thing.. He can call me instead I think.

I think Pastor Ballsup is starting to get a bit more picky with his clients.

Quote:

Dear Mrs Joensen

We are surprised that none of your Mobile telephone numbers are working they are always on voice mail maybe the numbers are internet configuration numbers, We have check the location of your company over the internet this is what we got (Website of company with name similar to one I am baiting him with).

I want you to know that we are selling animals to you or your company we do not need to fill any form before we get paid, hence is bank to bank.

If your company is ready to do business we request you come down here in Cotonou Benin Republic.

Before we can fill the form, we request your company real address in UK and your telephone number land line not mobile number.

As soon as we have the required information we decide what the next line of action.

Thanking your for your understanding.

I told him that as we are such a discrete and select company we don't have an email address and sent him the company address (bogus but plausible) once again. He's not getting a land line though as company policy is to give those out only to clients, not suppliers (and certainly not dodgy pastors in Benin).

I'll give him a call tonight - his Oga rang me back but got shoved onto voice mail - see if I can't persuade him to (a) ring me back and (b) ship me whatever fake ID he has.

I sent the good pastor some USDA forms to fill out when he's not checking the bank transfer status at 3Z--Track.

Our bank request swift transfer confirmation slip, the name of the bank, address and the account where the money was sent from.
Not just a tracking page, untill the required information are sent we will not fill the form.

Thanks.

A bit off-topic, but I think the best part of taking part in this particular (part part part) bait is all of the targetted ads that gmail gives you when reading your messages.

The pastor is ignoring me now. I think I may have to have one of my male friends call him. Or I suppose I could call him myself and pretend to be my own secretary.

Too bad I am clueless when it comes to time zones and will only call in the middle of the night!

Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:59 pm

I just got back from the pub where I was explaining this thread and the whole 419 thing to some friends Laughing

and they were coming up with a whole new menagerie of non existent animals to order.

Brass Sea Monkeys that are properly acclimatised sound quite good. Arctic Monkeys are just so 2007 and just don't cut the mustard since they won the Brit Awards.

I also want some Sea Horses with Smoking Monkey jockeys, Welsh Rabbits and a colony of Adam Ants.

We shall see! Laughing

After calling him a couple of times I think I have the Pastor's phone modality down.

I recon he's a pretty low ranking guy in the chain whose English is pants. If you call him he will say "I am busy call me back" - of course we just say "No I need you to fill in form x/stand on your head/climb mount kilimanjaro" to him. He will get confused and say "OK".

Now turn your phone off. The Oga who has way better English will call you back 10 mins later and leave 3 or 4 voice mails costing $$$ lots to him.

His oga said "call me back" so I just called him, I think I got him out of bed as it is 11pm in Benin. Smile

Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 2:49 pm

Anybody getting any action from the good Pastor lately?

Personally, I think he's flogging a dead horse with this modality. Laughing

Now there's an idea!

Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 3:38 pm

I haven't heard from him in a few days. Very depressing, as this was my favorite. I was hoping to add a chocolate starfish to my order.

Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 5:46 pm

haven't heard from him since last week. too bad for him, my secretary was ready to transfer the funds..

Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 6:28 pm

He's still talking to me Smile

Mind you I had to give him a large slap on the phone on Friday but today he complies with my request for ID.

Quote:

Dear

Sorry for our late response, we have been very busy over the weekend.

Yes I did talk to Mr. Tony on Friday and exchange a coup of emails with him.

As per your request attached is my International Passport.

When do we receive the transfer confirmation slip? When hell freezes over my friend

I await your response

Thanks

Pastor Ballas

Please, stop playing games since the account no. had been given you already.

Here's it once more.

Be serious.

It's not force or begging to buy our animals.

The good Pastor needs some better customer relation skills-

Quote:

Pastor Ballas,I think I must think about whether I wish to do business
with you or not.From the start,your entire attitude has been one of
rudeness and doubt.Evidently someone wishing to spend a lot of money
with you is not supposed to ask any questions,or allowed to ask you to
confirm anything.There are as you know a lot of thieves active on the
internet.You say you are a pastor,but what proof do I have?You could be
Satan incarnate for all I know.A great example is your obvious lie
regarding your internet connection.Seems to be working fine-just what
were you trying to pull anyway.I really must think this whole thing
through.Sorry for any inconvience to you,but your attitude toward
customers needs improvement.

Figure I'll give him another day or two,then ask another dumb question.I may bait him from another addy also-wonder if he has jackals and hyenas?

Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 2:35 pm

I'm awaiting information on a young female gorilla (to replace my daughter)

a ghecko with a british accent (like the one in the geico commercial)

and a duck (like the Aflac duck)

Of course, he didn't answer if my animals were still healthy and it's his fault payment hasn't been made. He wanted me to call him.

Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 10:42 pm

After that slap I gave him,he sent me an e mail thanking me.What kind of mugu is this?I do hope he can find the jackals and hyenas for G3orge P4ttons living history exhibit.

Excellent news! I have just received a health certificate, certifying that my Hippogriff has been vaccinated against Feline Leukemia. It must be true, because it has the red star AND the red stamp on it!

For anyone else who is having difficulty getting the guy to respond: the number he has given is a mobile. I was having difficulty trying to figure out how to make international calls on my baiting mobile WITHOUT registering it in my name. However, I was able to send a text message, saying, "Your phone is off every time I call. Please call me when your phone is back on. Thank you, Pierce"

It worked, and he thanked me for the text message. So if you are having the same trouble, this can be a cheap alternative.

We are back on!

I fear the dear Pastor is becoming a bit wise

PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR IT

THANKS

PASTOR

my interpretation of that is use another email address and waste more of my time, but maybe that's just me?

For some reason,I begin to find Pastor Balless tiresome.He seems to resent e mails asking questions.I think he needs a bunch to teach him better customer relation skills.Lets see-I think I have 5 account fulls of really dumb questions Laughing

I am still undecided.Your customer relation skills are horrible.On the
other hand,I want the camel.Can you at least assure me he is healthy and
has been vaccinated against dromedary halitosis?

His reply was one word,all in caps-YES
At this point the man is clearly getting very annoyed with everyone who he is sure is messing with him,but he can't be certain about anyone.That is what the phone calls were intended to solve,but even he understands that isn't working right.He is abrupt to the point of being insulting,but still answered my mail.I think Pasta Balless is ready to crack.He needs some more dumb questions.

Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 6:27 am

I just get a warm, fuzzy feeling when I think about Pastor Goat. I mean there he was all happy in his internet cafe thinking his animal scam was so successful and probably bragging to his mates about the $$$ lot he was going to get only to find out that not a single sale was forthcoming.

Oh and he's got one, and by now probably two, of his Oga's bank accounts killed into the bargain.

Both my baits are still running - money "transferred" and pestering the hell out of him for a shipping date Smile
