Here are a couple emails from my NOK lad.
Long story short:

I got him to travel from Benin to Ghana.

He is in Benin, and I agreed to go there with many
gifts and cash in hand. I told him that I wanted to tour
around there, but Ghana was also a country I wanted to see.
I told him I was going to just land in Ghana and he said not to.
He told me that the bank is in Ghana so we can travel there right away.
He said it is about an hour's drive. Looking at the map,
this is not true! I made the reservations anyway to land in Ghana.

Dear Carol,

Am very glad that you have decide to take this matter to nest level by traveling down immediately, this is a good decision to enable us conclude this brief as soon as possible upon your arrival.

I will make proper reservation for your stay in the country, you dont
need to be worry about this, the country is a peaceful country and well secured I promise you will love your stay here in Benin.

The weather is okay and simple clothes would be the best fit.

According to the board of directors meeting held today, my bank is presently making proper documentation of your claim to be transfer into your bank account soon. What is the contents of the message sent to you from my bank??? I told you to always keep me posted with what soever is going on in relation to this brief,I do not want you to make any mistake, I understand that you have been requested to present some document to the bank to enable my bank complete the transfer proceedure of the fund into your bank account, the area of requested documents is a vital and important stage of this matter that needs urgent attention for smooth and perfect transaction.

You should fly via AIRFRANCE direct to Benin.

You should forward the list of those requested documents to me immediately for swift action for our mutual benefits to avoid any hindrance.

I will be waiting to hear from you immediately.

Thanks,
Kouso Joseph.

Obviously I didn't make it to Africa.

Dear Carol,

How was your trip. Am presently in Ghana and I went to the hotel this morning to check on you at the Novotel Hotel but I was told by the receptionist that there is no Reservation book on your name.

Please kindly update me of your Hotel details, how was your trip once again, I cant wait to meet you.

Here is the direct number to reach me here in Ghana # 0247180389.

Await your call and swift response.

Kouso Joseph.

I had a bad car accident on the way to the airport and am still recovering. I am not finished with this cretin.

The IPs check out. First one comes back to Cotonou, second goes to Ghana.

I'll let another, more experienced person look at it but my guess is you have a pith.

@FabulousFiasco - Yes, the IPs check out. I'd say go get your hat, as he crossed a border. Very Happy

And give him some more pain. Make him travel some more. Laughing

Congratulations!

Congratulations,

Keep up the good work. clapping

yay!!

Check out my new hat!
This is cool, and I am going for another one very soon. If all goes well, my least favorite lotto lad is going safari-ing to Benin on Monday. He is trying awfully hard to get me to agree to send it Western Union so he won't have to make that trip.

I claimed mine on less evidence than yours FabulousFiasco

My Lad was on Gmail and I couldn't get a receipt out of him from a tracking site.

Congratulations - they don't come easily - but they do hurt a Lad Very Happy
