Hello I'm New here! Joined: 03 Aug 2009 Posts: 12

Hello dear fellow baiters, you are about to embark on a journey which has everything from burly ex-pirate lawyers, senile doctors from backwater countries to drama, tears (well, maybe not tears) and frustration (and a lot of it). We will receive hand-written letters and sign dobious documents and much, much more.

Disclaimer: The following story might not contain any of the things mentioned above or well, none of them are quite as dramatic as they sound.

This my first (semi-)successful bait, so it is no quite as impressive as some of the ones done by more experienced baiters. Nevertheless I hope will enjoy reading this bait.

Special thanks goes to Craig007 for walking me through my first bait as well as always being willing to answer my neverending questions.

I am playing Dr. @d0lph R3b@ne as well as Mr. Li0n3l M@ndr@k3. The lads are J@m3s/Fl0r3nc3 M3ns@h and Jubr1l N. 4chim0t@. My comments are in bold.

Now then, without further ado, let us begin.

As I was conversing with Craig, I was looking for a proper scam mail which would begin my journey to the ladland.

This particular e-mail caught my attention because it came from an alleged brother and sister. This piqued my interest.

Listen to us please in our possession is $15m and 150 kilos of raw gold nuggets deposited by our late father.Please we want you to act as our foreign beneficiary to the funds so that we can present you to the security company as late father business partner.

Dear Sir.

Firstly, I want to thank God for answering my prayers.And Thank him more for giving us someone of his spirit.Secondly, I will say how are you? (And I will say fish chips) and how is your part of the world?
As I have previously mentioned to you in my first mail we would like tom (Who is Tom?) present you to the security company as our foreign beneficiary to the consignments.This will not be an easy task as we hardly new each other on the contrary,My sister Fl0r3nc3 surgest we talk to you on the telephone and get to kinow each other more better.

We, intend to invest both content of the consignment in any area thyat will be profitable to us now and in the future. We can live that aside and first gain acess to the consignments.

We would appreciate it if you send us some more information about your self. So that when procuring the legal papers in your name we will have enough evidence about you to furnish any institutions or agencies who would like to know who our beneficiary is and where both trunk boxes will be delivered.

Secondly, We will need a legal back up in this transaction regarding the % margin. We will also need the aid of an attorney who will help us procure all the legal douments in the high court of justice here in Ghana.. He will be resposible to hand over to you all the legal documents backing up the transaction. He will also be responsible to aid us procure Change of Ownership certifictae from my late father name to myour name. The Power of Attorney certificate to give you full legel access to receive the consignments and the Decalration of Customs certificate thei is to proove that both countries are aware of the origin of the consignment.

We would want you to send us a copy of anyform of indentification, your telephone number is important, your full names and residential address.Please we await this upon receiving the requested information we will search for an attorney to stand for us to send you our own side of the documents and also present you to the security company for onward delivery to you in your country. Below we will live our number behind do please call us or in your next mail send to us your direct line.

Lastly, We want to say thank you and from our part of the fund will give another 5% to your organisation and the successful end of the transaction. which we peg to be nothing less that two weeks from today. (Oh, I'm sure we'll be done long before that) Time is of the essence. We have some little fund but not too much together will will bare the cost to make the documents in your name.Pray for us.

The way you can help us is to stand for us to receive the consignments in your country in two weeks time. We also will be needing your assitance to contact the attorney to precure the legal papers in your name.

May God richly bless you. Amen

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr. M3ns@h,

I am fine here, thank you. How about you?

I am Dr. @d0lph R3b@ne, the head of The Institute of Support for People with Disabilities (Puudega Inimeste Toetamise Instituut) in Muru, Estonia (A tiny village in the middle of the country). We specialize in developing machines for people with hearing-, seeing-, speaking disabilities as well as vitamin Z deficit that would aid them in their everyday lives. I've studied Hadroncollidory for 10 years and am considered a leading expert in Northern Europe. In 1999, I was named the number one expert in Hadroncollidory in Northern Europe by the "Teadus" magazine.

You probably would like to hear a bit about my country, Estonia. Estonia is a country situated in Northern Europe, near the Baltic Sea. Our neighbours are Finland, Russian Federation and Latvia. For most of the twentieth century, we were a part of Soviet Union, but in 1991, we gained our independence. At the beginning we struggled with our economy, but after several years of partnership with the countries in the West, our economy grew rapidly. Today, we are one of the richest countries in terms of purchasing power parity in EU with maybe the exception of Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Barbados. (How many mistakes can you find in the last sentence?)

You see, Mr. M3ns@h, I am a man of science and have very little experience when it comes to money transfers. Usually it is my secretary, Mr. Wint or my financial attorney, Mr. Kidd who deal with the financial side of my institute as well any of my personal major endeavours. (Prototypes for Mr. M@ndr@k3 who sadly never made it past this e-mail. Thankfully, Mr. and Ms. M3ns@h never noticed) Do I think it would be best if I involve attorney to finish this deal more quickly?

Dear Sir.

Thank you very much for your mail. I am sorry I have not mailed you in the past few days. This was due to the fact that the UN Committee came to our camp and took us to agbogboshe cattle ranch. (I hope you enjoyed the trip)Please I am very sorry for the delay on my part. Sir. It will be expedient that you introduce your attorney as well as he will be the one to help I and my sister to get invitation and other relevant papers to come to you in your country.

We will also send him an invitation letter to come to Ghana..should in case you are not able to physically present your self. The idea of geting an attorney here in Ghana is because it is in the high court of justice here in ghana that the legal documents to back up the claim of the consignment on our behalf will be procured.

Now Sir, I would want you to send to us your paticulars as stated to you in my previous mail to you.

YOUR FULL NAMES
FULL RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OR DRIVERS LINCENSE
TELEPHONE AND FAX

This above information is what is required for us to move forward. The deposit documents that covers this transaction will be sent to you by the lawyer.

Dear Mr. M3ns@h,

I hope that everything is alright with you. I myself have been rather busy in the last few days, so I don't blame you for not being able to reply to my email. I told my attorney, Mr. Li0n3l M@ndr@k3 about you. He contacted my today and said that he has sent you an email, but has yet to receive a reply. I hope you can get in touch with him as soon as possible, so that we can finish this deal quickly.

Dear Mr. and Ms. M3ns@h,

My name is Li0n3l M@ndr@k3, I am the financial attorney for Mr. @d0lph R3b@ne. He has told me all about the deal and has assured me that you are reliable individuals.

After some consideration I feel that before we move on with the deal, I must get your guarantee that this transaction is completely secure and confidential. As Mr. R3b@ne has probably mentioned it already, he is the head of a very reputable Institute here in Estonia. Any business deal gone awry could potentially sabotage the credibility of Mr. R3b@ne and his institute.

I hope everything is alright with you. I hurry to inform you that I likely won't be able to communicate with you between the 20th-23rd of August because I'll be attending a medical conference in Holland which is why I hope that you could send me the hand-written letter of guarantee before the 20th of August. This way, my attorney, Mr. Li0n3l M@ndr@k3, can proceed with the deal while I'm away.

If for some reason you won't be able to present the letter to me before the 20th of August, I am afraid we will have to postpone the deal till Monday.

Dear Mr. J@m3s M3ns@h,

Curse these infernal machines! (Dr. R3b@ne lived under a rock for the last 20 years) You'd think that once you've studied hadroncollidory for as long as I did, learning how to deal with a box that has a few buttons and a pointing device won't be that hard. Alas, it seems that even people like me can not be all-knowing. I've sent you the passport again. Hopefully you can see it now.

I'm afraid the soonest we'll be able to talk is next Monday. I won't be at the office today, because I have to prepare for the trip to Holland. I've forwarded the email to Mr. M@ndr@k3, so hopefully he'll get in touch with you today.

I am somewhat disappointed that you couldn't prepare the hand-written letter of guarantee before my departure. (Lazy lad!)

Dear Mr. and Ms. M3ns@h,

Dr. R3b@ne told me that you promised to send him a hand-written letter of guarantee. I find that quite appropriate. We have a saying around these parts "Situ ruttu, karu tuleb" ("Poop quickly, the bear is coming" an actual saying around these parts) which roughly translates to "Don't judge a man by what he says, but by what he does" so I feel that him receiving something that you did by hand would be very reassuring for him.

Alas, he said that he wants to see it himself before he allows me to proceed with the deal, but then again I have been his attorney for the last 20 years and we've been great friends, so I could probably convince him to proceed with the deal as long as I get to see the letter.

You should write the letter by hand and mention either my name or his. It would be best if you will mention both of us.

You can either scan it and send it to my email or fax it (12063390071). Again, it might be best if you do both if for some reason one of them doesn't go through.

Also, you can call me on this number: (Removed)

I am very busy right now, so I won't be able to accept any calls till Friday evening. It would be best if you get in touch with me then.

I thank you for putting an extra effort into proving that you are legitimate and dependable people. I've managed to contact Mr. R3b@ne yesterday and after some convincing he allowed me to proceed with the deal while he's away in Holland.

I understand that making a hand-written letter, scanning it and then sending it off can be a difficult and expensive (And about as likely as jumping off an Eiffel tower and surviving) endeavour when you're living in a refugee camp, so I'm sure Dr. R3b@ne won't hesitate to compensate you for it once our deal has come to a conclusion.

I will be waiting for any further instructions and also I'll be expecting a call from you tomorrow evening.

This is simply unacceptable. Dr. R3b@ne is very protective of his title. You will have to redo the documents and then send them to me again.

I have the documents. Unfortunately, for some reason, I couldn't attach them to this email. I talked to a friend of mine who is a good with computers and he was nice enough to help me.

He said that to see the files, you must go to these links and follow the instructions:

http://rapidshare.com/files/272523706/Document1.bmp.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/272523709/Document2.bmp.html

I am sorry for the inconvenience, but computers just isn't my forte.

How are you doing? I was made to understand that you will be arriving your country topday from Holland. I hope you had a wonderful time while you were away. I would like to tell you I and my sister can not help but thank you for your understanding and commitment you have shown to us.

The attorney that is standing to help us with legal matters here in ghana said he has sent both you and Mr. Li0n3l copies of some documents but your lawyer said he has not received it. Please I want you to get intouch with the lawyer so that he will now present you to the security comapny so that they can make shipment of the two trunk boxes.

Can I call you daddy? (This is getting weird) please understand and hasten the lawyer to quickly present you so that you can understandf our point of view and as well here from the security agency for your self.

Please I will like to stop here till I hear from you by torrow morning. Take care.

The conference in Holland was simply marvelous. To think that so many great minds could get together in a single room! I've had a great time and even got to meet such famous people as Dr. Han Solo, a doctor of fistingeology from the Institute of Delhi and Dr. Eric, a doctor of circusiology from the Institute of Spoonington.

I called Mr. M@ndr@k3 before I wrote you this letter. He said that he got in touch with your attorney, but he seems to be having some issues with the papers. He didn't specify.

I am glad that I can help you with this issue and yes, you can call me daddy. (Dr. R3b@ne is used to being called "Daddy") I almost feel like you are my own children now.

Please Daddy have you signed it? He also said to me that the 1500 euros will also accompany the signed documents you sent to him.

Daddy please help us..I am waiting to hear from you by today sir. and each time we call your phone is always on the answering machine. (They called me a lot, it's bordering on stalking now.)

Mr. 4chim0t@,

How DARE you call me a liar? I have been working on this transaction for the last week. Yesterday, I had to cancel TWO appointments, just so that I could personally go to the bank and find out what's going wrong.

I will NOT fill out the forms myself, because filling out government forms while pretending to be somebody else, is considered criminal offence here which can be punished by a large fine or even imprisonment. Besides, I'm not about to risk my integrity for $1500, mere peanuts for me and Dr. R3b@ne.

Now, I'm gonna give you 48 hours to fill out the forms and send them back to me. If you can't do something as simple as that, I myself will get in touch with Mr. and Ms. M3ns@h, informing them how incompetent their attorney really is. After all, he can't even following the simplest of Estonian government regulations!

Dear Mr. 4chim0t@,

I have been contacted by the bank right after my assistant went there and left the money. At that time, I didn't know why they needed me, only that I need to personally come there due to some "formalities". I didn't feel that it was an important detail, so I decided not to bother you or Mr. and Ms. M3ns@h on that account, hoping I could finish the transaction as soon as possible without involving any of you. We call that "courtesy" around here and not "a lie".

I don't know why the address is not mentioned on the form, maybe because it is given and must be presented in person, so it wouldn't make much sense leaving a P.O. box on the document which becomes invalid if you send it by mail. Frankly, I don't care about the complications behind it.

If you're concerned about the integrity of Facepalm, I assure you that it has been active in Estonia for the last two years. I am not a member of the bank myself, but several of my close friends are.
Their headquarters are located at:
Harjumaa
Tallin
Rдbцlь tn. 75-46 352
56141

Look them up, if you need to.

Now, I'm still going to give you time till tomorrow evening to send the forms. This has been going on for too long and ,honestly ,I'd rather be done with this transaction as soon as possible.
