Hey guys n gals, im a lurker for the most part, although i do bait daily, i dont prefer to get into the long ingenius sequences some of you have come up with (huge props.) I do love wasting a scammers time and have strung them along up to 6 months with basic gibberish and promises.

Wanted to share this guy, he got really offended after reading my assessment of his land.

Thanks for all your information on this magical golden dust you speak of. You sound reasonably organized and debatably informed. Of course Id like to ride along with the gold on your airplane vs having it shipped and traveling seperately, as it will save cost.

I do need to be assured that somebody will not rob my shipment, thats alot of money we are talking about here. Ive researched your area of Ghana which appears to be a forth world bastion of sufferage and disease. I cant imagine that a neighborhood full of toothless savages and barbarians would take kindly to my caucasian appearance combined with a fortune and as such ** I demand you supply a personal bodyguard contingent of 6 female virgins aged 18 or older. ** Im sure youll understand.

Attn Steven Cowberry,

My beautifal Country country is not a war zone since the beginning and the creation of the world my country has never one day have a riot talk less of war,my country is one of the most peaceful country in the world today, and it is also a top money maker of africa and surrounding area so dont talk about war here when we are on business issue.have you ever hear that there is war in Africa before? Our country is beautiful and full of the rigtest sunshines and never fights. You are comfrtable in your house of USA but you must now that I live in large house on beautifal estates with alot women and car. I will ask you respect my land or we cannot do an business going forward because it is very important you know

Thanks
George

Oh I wonder if that's the George Mensah I safaried to Naimtougou a couple of years back? It certainly sounds like him.

If so I guess his attempt to go straight and into the film business didn't work out.

There are a number of ongoing chieftaincy disputes in Ghana that generally involve competition over limited resources. Several of these disputes have erupted into violence and unrest during recent years, most notably in Yendi in the Northern Region and Bawku in the Upper East Region.

Pick-pocketing, purse-snatching, and various types of scams are the most common forms of crime confronting visitors. Travelers have reported these types of theft at crowded markets, beaches, parks, and tourist attractions. Incidences of violent crime, such as armed robbery, are on the rise, including reports of armed robberies in expatriate residential areas....

In recent years, U.S. citizens have reported substantial financial losses from questionable transactions involving gold and other precious metals. The Government of Ghana maintains strict regulations on these natural resources. All agents must be licensed and all transactions must be certified.

No doubt he will now be ready to produce 6 virgin bodyguards and copies of his license and certificates to prove his legitimacy. Wink

A few severe insults, also fun...

I always like to “show off” how smart I am. Something that drives them nuts is when I say Africa is a country, and Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, are mere states within the country. Everyone speaks African , to ask him to teach a few words.

This always seems to burn up some time.

Your lad needs to work for the Ghana Bureau of Tourism.

I like the six virgin body guards line. He must have some of those in his mansion I would think..

Be very careful where you're going with this one, guys. Denigrating a lad based on his nationality could be construed as bordering on racism.

Believe it or not, the lad's assessment of his country is pretty much spot on. Ghana is generally recognised as a beacon of hope in Africa.

In my view, the above is racist. Please keep it off the forum.

I was probably a little over the top there, my bad

I honestly hope there is a beacon of hope for Africa.

According to some sources, lads actually exploit the endemic corruption and unrest in their scam formats by allowing victims to believe that their oil budget overpayments and dormant bank account fiddles may actually be the sort of thing that flies around there. At the same time, they make the public perception of their own country worse.

I've thought for a long time that we're quietly helping West African nations by exposing, humiliating and frustrating scammers, and I'm sticking to that opinion.
