(Don't most US cities have segregated international terminals? A stopover there might not be a problem if that were the case.)

I'm a little lost on that? Do you mean Like old 1960's black and white segregation?

Or a seperate terminal for all international travellers?

I caught this in a catcher account of mine on July 8th. I've seen a few lads sending this out this week. The form is a the stardard come/carry with a "dying rich man with cancer that defile all treatment." But the lads claim to be from Iceland. This may be a natural target for your efforts.

My name is David Robert I am from Iceland Please take this serious,
I am taking this liberty anchored on strong desire to ask for your
assistance for help. Your consent and urgent attention will greatly be
needed, devoid of apprehensions. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared
for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I
was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on
my business as that was the only thing I cared for.

But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life
than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that i
have been diagnosed with this deadly disease I have willed and given
most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family
members as well as few close friends, i lost my wife and son in a fatal
accident a few years ago I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations,as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E,
Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I can
not do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one
of myaccounts and distribute the money, which I have there to charity
organization in Bulgeria and Haiti, they refused and kept the money to
themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with
what I have left for them. The last of my money, which no one knows of,
is the huge cash deposit of five Million United States Dollars($5,000,000)
that I have with a Finance Vaulting Unit in Europe.I will want you
to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.I,am willing to offer you a reward If you are willing to help.

please when replying indicate Your full name email, cell phone number so that
My personal confidant will call you and give you details on how the funds will be
transfered to you.

your name in full--------------------
Your resident address--------------
your tell/fax number----------------------
your occupation--------------------------
your age---------------------------
nationality----------------------------
present location-------------------------
Name of your company if any------------------

Regards,
David Robert

Not exactly a typical Icelandic name is it, but dont tell the lad that!

I have a lovely picture in my mind of a lad trying to get treasure from behind Gulfoss or from under Hekla:D

It's been a long time since I visited your wonderful country DJ, I really must go back there sometime

Of course I meant a separate terminal or area within a terminal where all international flights arrive and depart. Typically this would allow someone arriving on an international flight to change planes without going through security and customs. They would only need to do that at their destination.

@DJ Hypnotiq - Tell you what. You could bait me into a safari, I've always wanted to visit Iceland.... Wink

Hmmm. Interesting idea. I take it you have a trunk box full of cash or something you need to get out of the country? Right this way fine sir! Laughing

@ Eight: I have been around for a while reading and getting great ideas to apply to my own baits. I figure it's time I contribute a bit and give something back. Very Happy

@Eressea & Yastreb: The religious angle sounds like an excellent one (by the way I am Asatru myself). But since this challenge is more about a safari and less about ritual trophies how would you apply this modality to getting the lad to move? I'm sure we can come up with several very clever and compelling ideas.

@jojobean: I had thought that getting a European or American lad to Iceland would be easier than one from the southern hemisphere. But I see what you mean about them being smarter and less willing to travel. I've read in your university posts that you suggest specific types of scams as being more likely to travel. Would you say there was any one type of scam or lad that you found more willing to cross international borders? Thanks a ton for the insight and wisdom. You and the other major travel agents have really been the inspiration for this challenge.
