One of my current baits feature a recovery scam with a religious touch.

When the Nigerian lad got wind of my being a man of faith he made himself a reverend. Now he passed me on to his oga. A barrister with an IP that traces to Paris.

After getting two accounts from him i wondered why the accounts wasn't in his name and why he had an Asian bank. I got this lengthy reply totally of script.

Dear Alois Schickelgruber,

Yours of today was noted and regarding your reactions,I wish to clarify
things to your better understanding.

As a certified legal practitioner duly lichened and certified by Nigeria
and west African bar association,I have office both in Asia Uk and US so I
am liable to use any correspondence to receive funds as it were to
discharge my legal obligations.

Reni Swadi and Mr Kushis are my legal associates who operates the office
in Indonesia.As the principal Consultant I visit these office if some
tactical cases needed my meticulous/personal attention.

The Account was opened in their name for security reasons.

The singular reason why I choose to use the office outside Nigeria in
receiving such funds is that most foreign banks have bad publicities about
funds going to Nigeria so we have written articles letting the
international communities know that there is no country in the world where
there are no fraud even the United States of America,such practices are
indulge there but they are trying to cub the menace.

I told you in my subsequent email that I would be stating the obvious to
state that your fears and procrastination are heightened by the stereotyped
impression most people have about doing business with strangers and persons
previously unknown to them.

Despite all these bad publicities, I want you to know that, most legal
Practitioners especially those from Nigeria are decent and honest people
who are making invaluable contributions in several fields of human
endeavors. But as we all know and as aptly stated by Benjamin Franklin,
the lightest things swim at the top. It is only the bad persons that people
outside like to see. Yet for every bad person, we have many others who we
can be proud of.

It is in view of these stringent conditions that,I decided the best way to
approach the task was to received the funds from the office account in
Indonesia.I want to assure you that by my pedigree, I cannot be involved in
any fraudulent act or attempt to commit fraud. I am a lawyer of repute with
long years standing on the Bar, duly licensed and certified by the Nigeria
and west African Bar Association.

Rev.Mark Taylor was in my office this morning regarding the email he
received from you and we discussed at length over this which was agreed
upon.My resolve to conclude this transaction principally with you is
premise on the spirit of trust regardless of the provocateur. As it is said
‘trust begets trust’.You know what I need from you to successfully folLow
my directives and discharged the court proviso and accomplish our
objective? I need you to trust me, Will, I acknowledge the fact that trust
is not an easy thing to grant a complete stranger-someone not previously
known to you, more so when you have had some unpleasant experience in the
past. It is one of those intangibles in life that so often betray us. I
won’t betray your trust. I certainly am going to ensure the funds are
remitted into your designated account, once we observe due compliance I
don’t give my word blindly or often, but I am giving you my word now…All I
need is for you to trust me,Whilst I make the arrangement pending, I want
you to ponder of these sayings in Latin.

‘Fortes fortune juvat’ (Fortune helps the braves)
‘Forti et fideli nihil difficile’ (Nothing is difficult to the brave and
the faithful)
‘Fortuna favet fortibus’ (Fortune favors the bold)

These are time tested sayings, please ponder it, while I make the
necessary arrangement for the successful remittance of the fund into your
designated account…I know and I am certain that we will succeed if we act,
fortiter, fideliter, feliciter-boldly, I do believe I have made the clarity
that you need so I want you to proceed and make the need payment to enable
me proceed to discharged the court proviso.Do avail me with the details of
payment for confirmation

Yours faithfully and successfully.

Please revert back to me ASAP, so that I can as it were know what next
line of action to take.Give me a direct phone to speak with you or better
still give me a call.

An impressive letter and the lad seems well educated.

Well i have a Latin proverb as well.

"Absque argento omnia vana"

Translates to "Without money, all efforts are in vain."

And this long letter will definitely be in vain.

Hey i didn't say he was flawless. Just "lad good".

He most likely meant licensed... or that he spends to much time in his office. Laughing

A google veneer, fellow baiter, nothing more.
And benjamin Franklin is misquoted.
The grammar is forced.

Sounds like a preecha creecha on the loose to me.

I'm disappointed.
I was expecting Terrance and Philip Sad

Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:50 am

The smarter they are, the dumber they look with a fish on their head.

Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:57 am

Thank you psychicbait. I now see my lad in a new light.
English is not my native language neither am i a good proofreader. And with this lad i didn't even try due to my eyes bleeding from the length of his letter.

And of course most of it is possible to google. But he did make an effort with some of it even though some of it might be partly script.

And you did notice he called me Will (i didn't) and that is a grave offense for Rev. Alois. I must ask him ho Will is and give Alan some more time do do his thing.
Btw thank you for the compliment on my name. I guess you know who he is, dear Alois Schickelgruber. Good thing he changed his name. "Heil Schickelgruber" isn't nearly as catchy. Laughing

And a fish on his head, sounds like a great idea but i don't want to offend these lads to much as i have something planned for one of them further down the road.

^^^^I´d say it was a mix of script, spiel and preacher spew.
I hope the lad´s slipup over the name change gives you much joy.

A script like this, with those glaring grammatical errors and fancy Latin tags, can be seen as an invitation to play.
Go for accounts; why waste the fish? ITP, after all.
A tattoo is much better value for money.

Most importantly, this pompous scum is yours forever.
When you´re through with him, just change your account and name, and repeat baiting him.

And like all pets, give him a pat on head occasionally.
Offer to send him a laptop or BlackBerry (for birthday, Christmas, whatever) via the firm mentioned in a sticky in the Hints and tips forum Cool

Enjoy, Dr Mike!

edited to add-
Silly me.
Your pet claims to be a member of the Nigerian and the West African bar associations (or whatever he said they were).
An 'inspector' from either could be an excellent dollachoppa character for your baits involving barristers. Twisted Evil

In the position i am in now it will be difficult to get the lad to tattoo himself. But i have laid out a bait for him to contact another church member in Benin for charity donations. So for him to make that contact i must not burn him to bad.
I asked hi if he knew a good relief organization in Nigeria to donate to for the fight against cholera.
But he procrastinated and i ended up "giving" 13 000$ to MSF. But after that he did mention that his church was perhaps willing to set up a NGO for me to donate to. He said that he might do it next month (i think he said it in August).

If he does, then the real fun will begin.

^^^you´re doing extremely well and with any luck, you´ll get a site to kill.
At the very least, accounts.

But never burn, dr Mike! Think in terms of recycling.
Practise makes perfect, after all. wink:

Thanks, for the input and for the compliment.
