This bait should qualify as a Safari
"Barry" travelled from Accra, Ghana to Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria.

The original email was received by my Yahoo catcher account.

This bait lasted from June 2, 2008 to July 7, 2008.

I have baited close to one hundred lads, almost always straight baiting.
After the lad mentions Western Union or Moneygram, I send him a
"California Tax Form" to fill out, I have received around thirty of them.
I use the form to see if the lad will "work hard for his money".
I have asked lads to travel or meet me somewhere before, but they never did.
This is the first time a lad actually travelled for me.

Both lads were located in Ghana, as confirmed by the IP addresses on their emails.
The first lad George was mainly using scripts and then handed me over to the second
lad Barry, who was the "Principal Account Officer of the Security Company".
Only Barry did the travelling.
They seem to be different lads based on their emails to me.

I was able to call and receive calls from Barry.
I bought an ATT GoPhone from Walmart which is registered to ATT at a Texas address.
The Caller Id displays the number and "MOBILE PHONE".
It would be hard to trace my name from this phone, so I felt safe in calling lads.
The calls cost me an average of US $4.00 and I made two of them.
Unfortunately, I did not have means of recording the phone calls.
I also gave a free K7 number (receives messages only) to both lads.

Cast:

Lads:
Mr. George Barnes, a very sick man with $30,000,000.
Mr. Barry Davis, Western Trust Security Company, the money man

Baiter:
William "Buck" Jones, Cowboy and ranch manager
Colonel Bentley Dawson, a Texas oil and ranching tycoon

Dear Beloved,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me
because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mr. George Barnes
a merchant in Accra, in Ghana. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer.It has defiled 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 God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets
to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms
to charity organizations.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Thirty
Million United States Dollars($30,000,000,00) that I have with a Security Company
abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to
charity organizations. I have set aside 25% for you and for your time.

Reply me through this email address: [email protected]

God be with you,
Mr. George Barnes.

Dear Beloved Buck Jones,

Thanks for your e-mail and your willingness to assist me in distributing
the funds. I am sending copies of my pictures to you to justify my
reasons for contacting you. I have been greatly disappointed by my
family members, they have failed to carry out all the instructions I
gave to them when I shared all my assets to them.

(Deleted rambling paragraph)

My disease is not a punishment but God s favour to me because I have
cleaned my soul by it. Suffering always cleans. Also good deeds clean
our soul.

I deposited the money in a finance vaulting company in Accra; you need
to reassure me that you can handle this transaction and that you promise
to distribute the money to charity organizations especially the Tsunami
victims.

(Deleted rambling paragraph)

I would have loved to speak with you, but unfortunately this cancer has
made it almost impossible for me to speak. We can always communicate through
the e-mail.

Please answer this questions:
(1) How old are you
(2) Are you married or not, if yes how many children?
(3) What do you do for a living?
(4) your private telephone number and correspondence address
(5) Your full name?

Please note that I do not intend to cause you any problems, this money
belongs to me, all you need to do is to help me distribute it as I have
instructed.

(Deleted rambling paragraph)

As soon as I hear from you, I will send to you a copy of the certificate of
deposit which was issued to me when I deposited the consignment(money)
in the finance vaulting company in Accra, also I will notify them that
I have nominated you to collect the consignments on my behalf.

May GOD bless you and your family.

Mr. George Barnes.

All i need you to do is write to the security company asking
them if my consignment deposited with them is still safe and
pending. Also ask what the procedure will be to claim the consignment.

I am making you my confidant, trustee and beneficiary of the fund.
Please, contact Mr. Barry Davis and get back to me urgently.

I was out working on the ranch all day today due to a horrific dust storm
which stampeded some of the cattle and caused them to run into the mountains

We have spent all of today rounding them up so I could not make any telephone

Dear Mr. Barry Davis;

I understand that I am to send via Western Union $6,400 to Barry Davis.

I went into the Western Union office this afternoon and they told me that I
needed a form filled out by the recipient of the money.

I am the manager of the Sundance ranch, a cattle ranch and mining property
located in Southern California, 40 miles from the nearest town of San Bernadino.

I have been informed that as a designated corporation officer, I must report
all finanical transactions to the Califoria Office of Taxation.

This is a state law which was passed by the legislature and signed by
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on November 2, 2007.

I have to submit the completed and signed form to Western Union in order to
send money out of the State of California.

The form needs a hand-written signature before Western Union and the
State of California will accept it.

Please ask the recipient to fill out and sign the attached form
and return the copy to me.

Dear Mr. Barry Davis;

Colonel Dawson called me from Texas and told me that he will be
visiting Nigeria in the near future to work with their
National Petroleum Corporation on a business deal.

He does not like to travel alone, he trusts me, and he wants me to
accompany him to the capital city of Abuja, Nigeria.

I can bring the $6400 in cash with me, along with extra money $1000 to
pay your travel expenses to and from Abuja from Accra.

You would need to meet me and Colonel Dawson at a hotel in Abuja,
it will be one of the nice ones, and we will pay for a separate room
for you.

I am going to be tied up with trip planning, so it will be harder
to reach me.

If this method is acceptable to you, please let me know.

William Jones

Dear Mr. Barry Davis;

In answer to your questions, I do have a passport and Nigeria visa.

Colonel Dawson does business in many countries, including Nigeria.
He has a standing invitation letter from the Nigeria Ministry of Petroleum
Resources and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
The letter gets him a Nigerian business visa, and he used it to get me
a visa also.

He told me a month ago that he might ask me to travel with him on some
business trips because "he likes me", when he told me where he was going,
and I applied for the visa as his assistant.

Dear Mr. Barry Davis;

I received your telephone message and email about the hotel problem and
I am sorry for the problem but it is not my fault.

The Nigerian oil people contacted the Colonel at the hotel and told him that
the meeting had been moved to Lagos. He was very angry and was cursing all over
the room.

He then calmed down and told me that it was an old business trick to get the
other guy off balance by moving the meeting at the last minute.

He said that those "jokers" think they can play with him while he has "jet lag",
but "Texans are tough and those guys will pay".

Anyway, he got the hotel to reserve a short flight for us to Lagos tomorrow
and a reservation tomorrow night at the

I have to stay with the Colonel most times as sort of a bodyguard,
but I can meet you on Friday at 10:00am, if you can travel to Lagos.

Separately, I reserved a room for you at the same Lagos hotel for
Thursday evening.

I have the cash with me for you, $8000 in total, the $6400 original fee,
the $1000 I promised you, and the extra $500 for your trouble here.

As I explained when I called you earlier, this situation is not my fault
but is business.

I am not joking with you, but the Colonel comes first as he is my employer,
at least until we get the $30,000,000 and can split it.
Then I will tell him to get lost and go on down the road.

He should have realized that other businessmen are just like him and play
games; he has played these types of games himself all over Texas and Oklahoma.
I know.

Anyway, if you want to take a bus to Lagos, you can meet me there

I tell him that the Colonel is better and is returning to Africa
Barry did not reply to this email, I guess that he has had enough

Dear Mr. Barry Davis;

I am sorry for all of the problems we have had, but I have to work for the
Colonel and assist him.

The Colonel is feeling better now and plans to return to Nigeria next week
to complete the deal with the Nigerian petroleum officials, and he has again
asked me to accompany him.

Would you like to try again and meet me in Abuja?
Say on Tuesday, July 15?

Sincerely,
William Jones

The rest is silence
