I may not be the the first here to encounter this format, but I ran a search and didn't find anything on the forum.

1] To gain the power of invisibility, to make you invisible in terms of
trouble of armed robbers ,no one will see you or witness your actions, the
power permits you to penetrate anywhere unseen and un-notice. You can
investigate someone without him noticing you even by using your camera
will not be noticed. At anytime you want to be invisible to people eyes
all you need to do is to hang this great AMAL HAMZAAD on your neck and

send to you, you will not see
your face again on that mirror automatically you are invisible ,you can
now go anywhere you wish to go. If you desire to make yourself visible,
you will pronounce the second secret word and you will be automatically be

I googled this guy and found the exact post in guestbooks at New Age and occult sites and blogs. I took it as a chance to break in a new character, Kim To Duk (to duk means "thief" in Korean) of North Korea:

Quote:

I need to get the power that you write about. I am a Korean man in North Korea and I want to get out to go to South Korea but too many soldiers and police can see me if I leave. Your power is what I must so the soldiers and police do not see me leave to go to South Korea. Can you send it to me fast?

He got right back with some pictures and the price, $400 US payable through Western Union, naturally. It took some time to get through to him that nobody in North Korea has ever heard of WU and that a bank transfer is the only way to get money outside of the country. He said

Quote:

if I send you a bank account it will take me a long time before I recieve the money from the bank.

Too bad. The only alternative is to work through a contact in the North Korean embassy in Switzerland, which does not allow its employees internet access or email. The only way for ToDuk to correspond with the contact is by snail mail. That's three days out, three days back, which slows down the normal slow-roll by a factor of six. So far the lad is OK with it; the bait is now in its third month and we are still trying to find a WU outlet. We are nowhere near the point when the North Korean secret police detain ToDuk, when the MTCN gets garbled, and a dolla chop by the Swiss embassy contact. I am seeing an hourglass for this bait.

And, of course ToDuk had to ask the obvious:

Quote:

With Power of Invisible can I go in the ladie's dressing room?

And the lad had a quick reply.

Quote:

With Power of Invisible you can go in the ladie's dressing room or anywhere un-notice. You can investigate someone without him or she noticing you even by using your camera will not be noticed. At anytime you want to be invisible to people eyes

The lad also wants to talk on the phone. Unfortunately, ToDuk had to break it to him:

Quote:

Our Dear Leader Kim Jong il does not want Koreans to make phone calls outside of our country. Only soldiers and diplomats can make call outside of country. If you want to call me you can call my father's office but first you must call the international operator first 850218111 and tell him you want the Ministry of Agriculture farm equipment bureau, office for project for a tractor that turns on its own radius. That is where my father has his job. You must speak Korean and they might ask you for your name and your father's name and your grandfather's name. The operator will ask you why you want to talk to the Ministry of Agriculture farm equipment bureau, office for project for a tractor that turns on its own radius. When he asks this please do not talk about Power of invisibility. You can then ask for my father Kim Ko Ji and ask him to give me your message.

Did you IP trace the guy?

I was in DPRK in 2009. The citizens (in Pyongyang) didn't have internet access, but the lad probably won't know this. It would be amazing to get him to safari over from the South. It's the most heavily fortified border in the world and he would be a dead duck.

It traces back to Lagos. Not surprising.

@The Monsignor: I told the lad that I get internet through my influential father's connections. Ordinary North Koreans aren't allowed cell phones or access to international dialing as well. It would be interesting to see if he is willing to safari from the South or from China. He could just deploy his Power of Invisibility to sneak across.

There is a mobile phone network in DPRK (actually two: Sunnet and Koryolink). Some people also have access to the Net. Wink

The Lads of course don't have to know this. Very Happy

Does being invisible mean when you step on a landmine nothing happens? If not then surely you would simply be blown away on the next wind .... LOOSE/LOOSE situation I guess which is all GOOD/GOOD for our lad. Twisted Evil

I've got him too in my catcher

his mail is from 7.2.2011, and his email address is already mo hammedra [email protected]

so, he lost a lot of mail addresses Twisted Evil

Not really, personally I believe those numbers are picken randomly or even offered by the email provider when username is taken. They also tend to use year - [email protected] - pretty common to see.
