This is not the most exciting bait (I am very much a straight-baiter), but it resulted in a safari from Ou@g@dougou to Accra.
The following tools were very helpful:
Notphil's 10 meg junk to tiny image tool - http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=162101
Airline ticket generator: http://omatic.musicairport.com/
Although not used in this bait, Duezer's blurry receipt generator is fantastic http://www.spyrkes.info/generators/
I replied to a standard Next of Kin scam with:
Quote: |
Dear Mrs. K@bore,
Your proposal is interesting. My name is B3rn@rd St@ntone.
My city is XXXXX, Texas, USA.
I can provide more of the information you requested after receiving answers to my questions:
1. Is this legal? or is this against the law?
2. What documentation would you need from me for next of kin? Or would you be able to provide me the necessary documents for next of kin?
3. How long does this take?
Thank you for your proposal and in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
B3rn@rd St@ntone

I will dispense with the standard exchange of emails that followed - my character B3rn@rd was introduced to the bank and the barrister (Mr. Mouss@) who would assist with the court filings. Also, the good barrister helpfully provided his bank account information in his letter of introduction (forwarded to Al@n of course).
Later, my character B3rn@rd came out of the closet and announced that his partner Roger happens to be traveling to West Africa on business:
Quote: |
Dear Mrs. K@bore,
It has been a long time and I apologize for not writing sooner.
It has been a difficult few days. Do you remember when I told you I had two secrets that I wanted to know if you could keep?
The first I told you was that I am a gay homosexual man. The second secret I am telling you now is that my gay partner works at the same company I do and he is a petroleum engineer consultant and he is going to West Africa for the first time on business next week! He is going to Nigeria. I was not sure he was going until yesterday, but everything has been confirmed.
The problem is that he makes the financial decisions for us and he will not let me to send the money unless he is able to meet you and/or Mr. Mouss@ "face-to-face". If everything is OK, he would provide the $4,250 in cash at the "face-to-face" meeting.
Rog3r (my partner) is scheduled to fly to Lagos, Nigeria and he says he cannot travel to Burkina Faso. However, he did say could meet at the airport in Accra, Ghana if that would be easier for you. I tried to persuade him otherwise, but he is very firm in this matter.
I plan to write Mr. Mouss@ to tell him of this as well.
Please let me know your response.
Sincerely,
B3rn@rd |
At first, the good barrister says he cannot travel to Ghana:
Quote: |
ATTENTION: MR.B3RN@RD ST@NTONE.
THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT IF RELY YOU WANT THIS OFFICE TO HELP YOU TO GET THREE DOCUMENTS FROM THE HIGH COURT YOU SOULD TRY AND TELL YOUR FRIEND TO COME DOWN TO BURKINA FASO. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THIS MONEY IS CONSULTATION FEE NOT MONEY FOR THE DOCUMENTS. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PAY THE CONSULTATION FEE THEN YOU CAN NOW TELL ME WAT TO DO BUT FOR NOW AM VERY SORRY.
YOU ARE WELLCOME.

B3rn@rd is willing to walk away from the deal (Roger will not travel to countries where his company does not have business contacts:
Quote: |
Dear Mr. Mouss@,
I am very sorry, but I have tried and tried to convince Rog3r, but he is very strong in his opinion. He won't go to a country where our company does not have established business contacts.
I am sorry I won't be able to use your attorney services. I wish you well.
Sincerely,
B3rn@rd

Lo and behold, the barrister is willing to travel to Ghana, provided he sees proof of travel arrangements:
Quote: |
ATTENTION : MR.B3RN@RD ST@NTONE.
THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT I WILL GO TO GHANA IF YOU CAN SCAN AND SEND TO THIS OFFICE THE FLIGHT SCHEDULE TIKECT OF YOUR PARTNER. THEN I WILL GO TO GHANA TO MEET HIM FACE-TO-FACE.
THANK YOU, YOU ARE WELLCOME.

Thanks to a standard online travel agency for a travel itinerary and an airline ticket generator http://omatic.musicairport.com/ I am able to convince Mr. Mouss@ of Roger's impending travel.
Mr. Mouss@ confirms his travel arrangements:
Quote: |

Mr. Mouss@ arranges for communications upon his arrival in Accra:
Quote: |
ATTENTION:MR.B3RN@RD ST@NTION.
PLEASE I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I WILL BE LIVING FOR ACCRA TO NIGHT. PLEASE I WILL LIKE YOU TO SEND ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER . SO THAT I CAN GIVE YOU A CALL WHEN I GET THERE.
AND TO GIVE YOU MY COUNTACT NUMBER OVER THERE.
THANK YOU.

BARRISTER MOUSS@.

Mr. Mouss@ is a gmail Lad, but on arrival day, I am able to converse with him on a Ghanian tel. number.
I attempt adding another leg to the safari (Ou@g@dougou, Accra, Lagos). At arrival time later in the day, I inform Mr. Mouss@ that Roger was detained by health authorities during his Holland layover, missed his flight to Accra, and now intended to fly to Lagos the following day. Here is an email summary of the phone conversation:
Quote: |
Dear Barrister Mouss@,
I think we spoke about this information. Just for clarification, here are Rog3r's new flight information.
Rog3r is taking KLM Flight 587 from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Lagos, Nigeria. He arrives in Lagos, Nigeria at 18:55 PM on 6 May 2009.
I am sorry for you inconvenience. Rog3r spoke to me - he was delayed in Amsterdam by the health authorities and missed his flight to Accra - I understand it was because some passengers were sick with the flu on his airline flight from the U.S. to Netherlands.
I told Rog3r he should fly to Accra but he told me he did not want to miss his work assignment in Nigeria and with the day delay in Amsterdam he did not want to risk being late for Nigeria. He can meet you in Lagos however. As I may have mentioned before, Rog3r is strong opinioned.
Please let me know your plans.
Sincerely,
B3rn@rd

Mr. Mouss@ is not pleased, but takes the news rather well:
Quote: |
ATTENTION: MR.B3RN@RD,
I GOT YOUR MAIL I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE TRY MY BEST TO BE AT ACCRA GHANA. NOW IS NIGERIA . I STILL WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM DOING THIS ALL TO HELP YOU GET DOCUMENTS AND YOUR FUND TRANSFERRED. NOW YOU ARE ASKING ME TO GO TO LAGOS NIGERIA. PLEASE IF YOU WHERE IN MY SHOE WHAT WILL YOU DO.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME HOW LONG IS ROG3R GOING TO STAY IN LAGOS. AND I ALSO WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR MY TRIP TO GHANA AND NIGERIA.
YOU ARE WELL COME
M@M@DOU MOUSS@
|
I try to persuade Mr. Mouss@ to continue his journey, but he declines:
Quote: |
ATTENTION: MR.B3RN@RD.
THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO NIGERIA
THIS IS BECUASE I HAVE A COURT TO ATEND TOMORROW BEEN 7TH DAY OF MAY
2009 IN MY COUNTRY BURKINA FASO. THIS IS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I WILL
BE LIVING FOR MY COUNTRY TODAY.
AM VERY SORRY I CANOT GO TO NIGERIA.
YOU CAN CONTACT ME IF YOU STIL NEED MY SERVICE
|
I end the bait, on a polite note, taking care not to burn the lad:
Quote: |
Dear Mr. Mouss@,
I do understand. I will let Rog3r know. Thank you for your efforts and we will see if we can make other arrangements.
Sincerely,
B3rn@rd |
