That's why I LOVE co-ordinated baits.
They accomplish SO much.... *tears of joy* Crying or Very sad

Good work. As a safari enthusiast, I cheer you from the sidelines and follow this thread with baited breath Very Happy

@Alexi: When Jabba enters the scene, he will be sure to bring his hired help, Bob Baffett. Wink

@NWM: The accent is far better than mine. And you did a formidable job - I had actually given up on those phone numbers from the bill. The stubborn and persistant gets rewarded indeed. Excellent job! Very Happy

Wonderful call, NWM.
So he'll have to go back to B@uchi to try to collect that WUxfer, braving the hotel staff, etc.
My psychic powers tell me that over the weekend HagenDaäzBoi's going to try to convince Lance to retract the B@uchi limited WUxfer and resend it.

edited to add-
I've just seen your post, Jeannette, while reviewing my own posts to leet the name of the town in question.
Thanks so much for the infors and I've book-marked that site. Nice find!

Great call to to hotel NWM!

Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 10:30 pm

He's been incommunicado all day. I was wondering what was going on, so I dropped the hotel a call on the number HE gave me... just to double check and see if I could learn anything.

Further confirmation, I'd say. But what's he doing? It's driving me nuts.

Wow, nice work! I eagerly await the panic that'll ensue when the battery runs out!

Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 11:44 pm

Man I wish I could understand that hotel employee better. Did he say he owes for two nights? I wonder if Clet paid up what he had then split.

Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 11:52 pm

Maybe I should kill the battery. He doesn't really understand that the money has moved anyway.

(killing the battery means deleting the parcel, so we wouldn't have the GPS site anymore).

Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 11:58 pm

It's amazing how simple the GPS site is to navigate, yet every lad I've ever tried it on has difficulties.

Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 12:01 am

I had a lad that after repeated instructions could not figure out how to zoom in on the map. I might as well have been trying to teach him to split an atom.

Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 12:08 am

I think there may be a possibility he's been arrested. Twisted Evil

Think of this:
Last thing we heard from him, was him in the streets of 8auchi, curfew just around the corner, can't go back to the hotel, has no money. Says he must find a hiding place or he will get arrested.

He says he will go to J0s. But I wonder how? He's broke, so he probably has to walk. You can walk quite a distance in a day.
Now, the curfew is bound to include a perimeter around the city, and not just the streets themselves, or it wouldn't make much sense.

I think it's possible that the police may have snatched him before he got out.
Or we'd have heard from him by now. He still needs the info to get dollar.

Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 9:02 am

Pretty curious. Pastor has neither called (and if you are in on this bait, you know how frequently he calls) nor emailed.

I think there are only 3 possibilities

1) He got arrested
2) His phone died and he has nowhere to charge it
3) He is heading back to Ghana

Last night when we were talking his phone kept shutting off and he told me the battery was dying. However, he also told me that he was going to visit some old friends in Jos, so I can't imagine that they wouldn't let him charge his phone or check his email.

I'm thinking either 1 or 3

Maybe it's time to contact K3lvin again, see if he can shed some light?

Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 10:33 am

And then there's the WUxfer that should arrive on Monday. I don't see this one abandoning 2,000 USD voluntarily. Thoughts?

right.

but I think, the transfer will be delayed again. is it already time to bring in somebody like homeland security (the imperial forces), who need to check the transfer again to prevent monetary supply for an organisation like al kaida, the rebels or the evil PETA (people eating tasty animals) Twisted Evil

but now, he has to get in contact again.

Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 11:03 am

Actually, the 48 hours run out tonight, so in theory, he could pick up the money then. L4nce is supposed to call him with the MTCN and secret question - so the switched off phone really doesn't make any sense.

I firmly believe he's behind bars by now.

Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 10:27 pm

I was wrong.

But first, I forgot to post the transfer info. Sent it to him late Thursday night:

Quote:

Hello Pastor Cl3tus,
I nearly forgot to mail you the transfer details - they are as follows:

SENDER: LANC3 DOC4LRISSIAN
RECEIVER: CL3TUS OROF3
CITY AND COUNTRY OF RECEIVER: B4UCHI, NIGERIA
SECRET QUESTION: MY FAVOURITE CHINESE RESTAURANT?
SECRET ANSWER: OBIE W4NG

MTCN: 4133526771

I will appreciate it if you will give me notice if you hear from Luk3
or his friends.

Lanc3

Of course, he didn't have cyber access, which is why he told Luk3 to ask me to phone it to him. Which I tried for 2 freakin' days without luck. Rather unusual for a lad to go incommunicado while waiting for money...

...until tonight:

Quote:

DEAR BRO LANC3.

SORRY I COULD NOT WRITE YOU SINCE WE SPOKE LASTLYY. I WAS ONLY PRIVILEGE TO CHECK MY MAIL JUST TODAY, BECAUSE I HAVE NO ACCESS TO INTERNET WHERE I WAS STAYING. BESIDES, ALL I WAS THINKING IS WHAT TO EAT FOR THE DAY BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION LUKE AND HIS FRIEND KEPT ME. I AM HAPPY BECAUSE SEEING THE CONTROL NUMBER GAVE ME LITTLE STRENGHT AND SENSE OF BELONGING. I BECAME A FUGITIVE IN THE STREET OF B4UCHI SO I FLED TO A NEIBOURING TOWN CLOSE TO J0S, WHERE THEY HAVE FEW POWER SUPPLY. WHEN I WAS GOING, LUK3 CALLED ME AND I ASK HIM TO ASSIST IN THANKING YOU FOR YOUR KIND GUESTURE BECAUSE THE WAY YOU WHERE INTERROGATING ME, I SAW EVERYTHING HOPELESS. I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND. BUT I THANK GOD FOR USING YOU AS SOURCE OF RESCUE.

I ALSO ASK BRO LUK3 TO DISCUSS WITH MR. H4NS AS TO WHO AMONGST THEM WILL VOLUNTEER TO COME TO NIGERIA. OR IF THEY ARE WILLING I CAN GO BACK TO GHANA AND USE MY MINISTRY TO SOURCE FOR LETTER OF INVITATION FOR ANY ONE OF THEM WHO IS WILLING TO COME AND HE AGREED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH MR. H4NS. LATER MR. H4NS CALLED AND TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO MEET LUK3 AND HE WAS UNDER POICE CUSTODY, SO HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT ME. I TOLD HIM THINGS DONE WITHOUT PROPER ARRANGEMENT ARE NEVER DONE WELL. THEY GAVE ME THE ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL ASSIST ME AS SOON AS I GOT TO ABUJA. BUT THEY NEVER KEPT TO THEIR PROMISES FOR ONES. AND IF NOT FOR GOD FEARING MAN LIKE YOU WHO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS FOR ONE TO GO THROUGH TOUGH TIMES. SO HE PROMISE TO REFERE ME TO A LADY WORKING IN NIGERIA WHO IS A HUMANITARIAN WORKER, BECAUSE I TOLD THEM WHEN THE MONEY WILL BE ACTIVATED. AND THAT I WANT TO SWITCH OFF MY MOBILE PHONE BECAUSE OF THOSE I AM OWING MONEY. AND BY MONDAY I WILL GO TO THE BANK IF I CASH THE MONEY , I WILL GO AND SETTLE ALL THOSE I AM RUNNING FROM.

I PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU THE ENABLEMENT TO REACH OUT THOSE WHO WILL ALWAYS WORK FOR YOUR FAVOR. BESIDES, NO DEVOURER WILL EVER MEET YOUR TENT, AND YOU WILL BE SATISFIED WITH LONG LIFE.
HAPPY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

BEST WISHES,
PASTOR CL3TUS.

Received 8.16 PM CET. Also pings to Accra. So, looks like he went home - but that's not what he's telling. He says he's going to pick up the money Monday. Hmmm.
What's he up to now?!?

PS: Does this guy have a crush on Lanc3?!?

maybe k€vin (alone at home), helping cl€tus?

is the internetprovider now the same as in the first emails?

Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 10:53 pm

^^^ Crossed my mind. But why? Why not call us himself - why contact K3lvin and ask him to contact us? Doesn't make sense.

Luk3 thinks he's back in Accra and that he's betting that the money isn't restricted to be withdrawn in 8auchi only.

I guess for now it's just to wait. Come Monday, he will find out that they can't be withdrawn elsewhere than 8auchi (or IN 8auchi, for that matter Twisted Evil

). He will know I was right. That's wha he gets for doubting us. Evil or Very Mad

Just got this from him:

Quote:

SORRY I COULDN'T WRITE YOU EARLIER DUE TO WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH. A FRIEND ASK ME TO COME TO JOS BUT HE WASN'T READY TO HARBOUR E SO I HAVE TO GO OUT SIDE THERE BECAUSE JOS IS TOO COLD FOR MY LIKEN. HOW WAS THE ARRANGE WITH THE LADY YOU TALKED ABOUT, I WILL BE PLEASED IF SHE CAN COME AND WORK WITH ME.

BESIDES, HAVE YOU GONE THROUGH THE MAP LUKE SENT TO ME? I SENT IT TO YOU FOR VERIFICATION. THE SIDE HE MARKED HAS SO MANY TREES, BUT THE OPPOSIT HAS JUST THREE TREE WHERE I WAS DIGGING WHICH ONE OF THEM IS THE REAL SIDE?

BEST REGARDS,
PASTOR CL3TUS.

Going to call him now and see what is going on. Where is this MF'r?

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 2:35 am

Just called Pastor on his Ghana number. If we weren't sure where he was before, now we are really confused:

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 2:48 am

Great call!

But he pings to Accra and has a Ghanese SIM. I don't think he is where he say he is.

insults and more · Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 3:40 am

He is annoying us every single step of the way.

NWM, the fact that you got this schlimazel to safari anywhere ought to give hope to every aspiring baiter.

So, he's back in Ghana. For this, he must be sent to Aldaraan.

ETA: I will claim a pith hat now, because I feel Chewie's drunkenness helped in some part in the lad's 940km trip back to Accra.

He still doesn't get it, does he.
His ministry. I'll bet one of their letters of invitation would make a nice 'trophy'.
It seems that humanitarian worker will be calling from Monday onward, perhaps after a long day of treating lepers, etc.

I've just heard the call. The pet thinks he's in control now. How wrong he is. Twisted Evil
