This is actually pretty short, but I thought it was quite funny and I doubt he'll e-mail me again, although I can guarantee he would start e-mailing me like crazy if I dangled money in front of his face.

Okay, first off backstory:
I was checking e-mail in my main Biff account when I get a notification that a guy named ossyanyikwa.lagos has requested I add him to my/his online contacts. I immediately send him the message “Who are you?” over chat. After 10 minutes, he doesn't respond, so I deny his request and log off. I check my e-mail again an hour later to see that he has sent me a ton of chat messages asking for me to forgive him and that he didn't want to make me mad. I wasn't really in the mood to take on a new scammer, so I just went all-out harsh on his ass, asking him who he was and why he had contacted a complete stranger out of the blue with nothing in common without saying a reason why. After haranguing him for a while, he claimed to be Ossy Anyikwa Festus from Lagos, Nigeria. He also claimed to have lived 5 years in China up until recently. I knew this was bullshit, so I started typing to him in Chinese, but he ignored it and tried to change the subject. Supposedly he came back from China for his father's funeral, but lost all his money in the process, has no money (despite chatting with me about nothing for 3 hours), no job, and wants to go back to China. I had developed a pretty harsh persona and I was going with it. I was pretty sure he knew I was a baiter simply by the fact that I asked him about the Igbo, poked holes in every single claim he made, and stayed at least relatively hostile until the end. I told him I was a 31-year-old Argentinan-born man working as an import/export manager in Santa Monica, California. I told him I spoke fluent Spanish, English, Finnish, and near-native Chinese, Japanese, and Russia. He seemed to take a lot of interest in the story I told him about me having 2 daughters and getting in a divorce (because my wife cheated on me when I was away on one of my very common business trips). He asked for my e-mail and I gave him because the guy was starting to amuse me. And that's where the Yahoo chat ended and the e-mails started.

Blue = me
Red = scammer

He attached a ton of pictures of a funeral where the guy that was supposed to be him looked nothing like the pic he sent me when we were chatting (age completely different and body size/weight completely different).

Ossy,

I had a feeling you might come asking for money after you told me about what happened since returning to Nigeria. Well, like I said, life is tough. When we chatted, you asked me a lot of personal questions and I answered you honestly, but I'm a private man, so I don't usually offer up information about myself unless asked. Sometimes even when asked. But life is hard. A few months ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis. Never heard of it? Neither had I until I got it. But now the hospital bills are through the roof. I'm a busy man at work. I'd like to tell the doctors that I have no time for medical treatment... but if I said that, I'd die. My international business trips have become less common lately. My wife got custody of both my daughters through our divorce and I have to send her money for them every month. Now I don't have any problem providing for my children, but the amount my ex-wife demands is ridiculous. And my illness has been hurting my ability to perform at work. You know how I told you I'd been working really hard lately? Well, I have, but it's been taking its toll. Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis, with the proper treatment, can be completely and permanently cured, but it takes time and money. My insurance just isn't that great, Ossy.

And I didn't even know you until two days ago. Considering my condition, how can you seriously ask me for $500? Just like that? I'm sorry, Ossy, but maybe you should just move back to your village and live with your wife and child. It would be the moral thing to do.

Regards,
Biff

thanks for your mail mr biff,
infact after reading your mail, i asked my self some questions, but all i know IS that your sickness will go without any further treatment, i used to attend a very nice church in lagos, last week, one man tested with hiv positive last two months after reciving prayers and derivrance from my pastor, and drank holy water and olive oil our pastor gave to him, he went back to hospital last week for test, the hiv positive then turn to negative with out any drug, this is not story, this is exactly what happened, so i will meet my pastor on sunday, i know you are very far but he must pray for you, many people here did the same to thier people abraod and it works, testmonies are comming from all over the world abou
Ossy Anyikwa: TESTMONIES ARE COMMING from all over the world about our pastor so don,t worry, you sickness must go soon,Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis,is a serious sickness but it will disappear any moment from now, you don,t need to worry,

mr biff,you are a complete man with patience, look at how you address me after asking you for money, you address me wit manner, very gentle, even if you don,t help me now, i am happy for your reply GOD WILL BLESS YOU, SOME PEOPLE AFFTER RECIVING THIS KIND MAIL, THEY WILL START ABUSING THE PERSON, CALLING THE PERSON ALL SORT OF BAD NAMES BUT YOU DID NOT DO THAT,
PLEASE DON,T BE ANGRY FOR ASKING YOU FOR HELP UNDER 2 DAYS WE KNEW EACH ORDER, I AM UNDER DURESS, I DON,T KNOW WHAT TO DO, IF I GO VILLAGE , MY MOTHER WILL DIE, PLEASE DON,T ANGRY
REGARD FROM OSSY

Ossy,

I had the most miserable doctor's meeting. I kind of wish you hadn't e-mailed me because I feel almost cursed because of what you said. It turns out that I'm HIV positive. It seems that the blood transfusion I got yesterday had accidentally been switched to one by an HIV positive man whose blood they were testing... At this rate, I don't think I'll be able to pay my house's mortgage... I know you don't have any money, Ossy, but now I feel like I'm in more of a position to be asking you for money... what with Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis and now AIDS...

biff,
i told you before that, you sickness will disappear, please don,t mention hiv , there is nothing like hiv in your body, and your Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritist will go final within 3 days, there is nothing that pass God, don,t neglect me because of my condition, i am an evegelist, throughout yesternight, i am praying for you, i did not sleep and that was what i suppose to do as friend,
my land lord took me to court yesterday and court ordered me to pack, that the owner of the house want to make use of my apartment, so i don,t know what to do

Ossy,

I was born and raised a Roman Catholic, but to be honest, I'm thinking of abandoning God after all he's done for me. HIV on top of Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritist? Seriously?! And the doctor told me that one of the possible side effects of the medication for the Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis is blindness. And I think I already told you how I'm deaf in my right ear. And, after all that, I come to find out last night that my wife is suing me for more money and is trying to get a restraining order on me against both of my daughters. I can't talk to anyone at work about this. They wouldn't understand.

Maybe if I prayed to Satan, he would answer my prayers.

Okay. I'll give God a little more time and pray that he doesn't make my life even worse. I'm not Job here! I'm not the punchline of every single one of God's jokes this week!

PRAISE YOU, PLEASE HEAL ME FROM THIS SICKNESS IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN,

Quote:

Ossy,

Sorry, but I'm not a worm or despicable to "the people." I am a man. My wife could tell you that. Also, the prayer says that my father did not come to shame, but actually he did. He used to beat me when I was a kid while listening to The Very Best of Elvis Presley blaring on the stereo. After the police found his dead body in a whore house in the slums in Buenos Aires, pumped full of bullets and STDs, my mother and I moved to California. I never knew my grandfather because he was gunned down by the Mafia before I was born.

I found that prayer quite insulting to be honest. Did you have to write a prayer where I'm calling myself a worm and saying that I'm not even a man? Where do you get off saying that kind of stuff? I thought you were supposed to be my friend, Ossy.

Maybe I will pray to Satan after all.

Biff

Quote:

biff,
that prayer is psalm iside bible, is not only because of you they wrote it, any body can say the prayer when condition looks like this, the prayer did not mean that you are not a man, you are a complete man, that is prayer, it seem you like so much debate? that prayer already already helps a lot of people and they come back to thier normal life, no more sickness, but if you don,t like the prayer no problem, that father in the bible mean God, is not your earthly father, why you always misunderstood me?

Quote:

Ossy,

I used to memorize the book of Psalms when I was a child, and that prayer is not in the Bible. You might have paraphrased parts of it and made combined rephrasings of verses from other parts of the Bible, but as a formerly very dedicated Catholic, I can say that there is no such prayer in the Bible.

I don't think I've misunderstood you. I told you that I had Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis and you're telling me I don't have the disease anymore. I get HIV and you tell me I don't have HIV anymore either.

If this pastor can cure diseases so easily, why can't he help you get $500? People have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on curing AIDS with no success and I'm gonna get cured in moments just by some preacher talking? If that's true, then I think you need to go to him immediately and tell him about your own problems. Getting $500 should be a piece of cake.

I'm just so depressed. I started doing cocaine today. Never done it before, but... it helps. It helps me forget that my god has turned me into the focal point of all the natural torture in the universe. But... maybe I should face up to myself, get rid of the cocaine, think about what really matters in life, what I really should be doing; Maybe I should get down on my knees, look up to the heavens, and offer a prayer to Satan.

Pray for me, Ossy. I'm begging you.

Ossy,

I have compassion for your situation. I really do. But I have to go to the hospital first thing in the morning tomorrow and after the treatments, I have to go to court and battle against my wife, and then I have to meet with the CEO of my company. You know how horrible of a disease Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis is, Ossy. I'm bleeding a little from my eye sockets and my skin all over my chest is starting to peel off. The doctor said that the greenish-yellow tint to my skin is normal for people who have both Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis and HIV, but it doesn't make me feel any better about it.

I haven't prayed to Satan yet in case that makes you feel better, but I'm seriously considering it. I even had my assistant at work go to the library and check out a copy of the Satanic Bible, another of the Book of the Faceless Demons, and the only copy of the Necronomicon in California (he told me he had to pull some strings for that one). So I've got my options open. I've heard there's a cult in the area called the Ac0lytes of Be3lzebub. Maybe they could help me...

Ossy,

You ever had one of those days? You know? Where nothing seems to go right? I came home to find out my cat got ran over by a car. My ex-wife won the suit against me and is taking half of my salary. Supposedly it's for the girls, but she also managed to get a restraining order against me so I can't see either of my daughters. I argued that she shouldn't take my money because I'm dying of Chronic Sytheric Pnimthritis and AIDS, but she used that as a reason why I shouldn't be near her or my daughters and pushed for even more money than before.

I don't think I'll be able to pay my mortgage. I've got a surgery coming up next week. I had considered suicide, but I think I should give Satan a chance first.

There's a weekly meeting of the Ac0lytes of Be3lzebub tonight and they've asked me if I could bring my copy of the Necronomicon over so we could perform some Satanic rituals. They also asked me to bring my dead cat. I think I'll take them up on their offer and see if Satan can help me out. He's the only choice I have left now.

Biff

No responses from him since then. This is one of the shortest baits I've had, but it was also one of the more fun ones. I'm thinking of e-mailing him sometime soon and starting "Part 2" where I say that I've given up Satanism and want to come to his church to be healed of all my diseases.

I'll also say that, of the tons of scammers I've met, Ossy is an anomoly. Very weird dude and very weird way of trying to get money out of a complete stranger. Laughing

^^^ Enjoyed reading that. He did mangle Psalm 22 pretty badly.

I particularly liked:

I thought his response to me supposedly having AIDS was unbelievably ridiculous in how he just started with "You do not have HIV."

I can't imagine how he expected that strategy to work. I assume this guy is a total beginner at the scamming thing.

Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2010 5:10 pm

^^ Well, it is obvious that the lad has no idea of diseases and medicine, so we should just leave it at that. Don't know if he is a beginner or not, but many people in the world have no idea of HIV/AIDS and was causes it. So he may be one of those. No need to educate him.

Although I do notice that lads tend to poo-foo any medical issues as you should not worry about them.

Over in the Jailbait thread, Sister Lucy needs a heart transplant and the lad continues to tell her and her friend she will be healed and not die. We have mentioned every thing from a chimpanzee to chipmunk heart transplant and he casts that off as she will not die. I know we can even get to a squirrel heart transplant and he will go along with it. (Apologies to the squirrel lovers!)

Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2010 2:53 am

Sounds just like this lad here. He doesn't want to accept disease as an obstacle to his plan so he just claims that it doesn't exist. Maybe he believes that if he says it enough, his potential victim will believe it.

I liked how the lad in this bait refers to the disease I made up as a "serious sickness" as if he actually knows all about it.
