This is a rather short bait from last fall. I was kind of busy with another bait and some real life things, so I didn't put much effort into it. However, I thought I'd try something a little different just to see how long the lad would stay interested.
The people involved:
Eva (me)
Benson (lad)
Citibank (lad)

Good day to you,
I am writting this mail to inform you that finaly your funds is now deposited with Citi Development Bank Benin Republic for onward transfer into your Bank account,since the Custom Office Benin did not hear from you again and best way is to deposite it in a bank so that they will handle the transaction for security reason.
I took this decision because of the so many restrictions from the security Agents while trying to post the box to you.Now i have deposite it there with the Citi Development Bank where i deposited your bank draft into the bank on your name and i will advise you to contact the Bank with your recieving Bank details for further transfer into your account without further delay.
I hereby confirm the Bank details as follows:
Contact: Dr.Daniel Koman
Bank: Citi Bank Benin Rep.
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +229-********.
I will be waiting for your update once you have contacted them and always try to update me with all process.
Thanks and God bless.

Excellent! I could really use some money. Hopefully he can help out with a little complication on my end. And yes, the all caps from me is intentional.
| Eva on 23-Aug-2011 wrote: |
HELLO CAN YOU SEND THE MONEY BY HORSEBACK COURIER?

I didn't see any reply when the next day rolled around, so I poke him again.
| Eva on 24-Aug-2011 wrote: |
HELLO PLEASE RESPOND. CAN THE MONEY BE SENT BY HORSEBACK COURIER? THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AS I LIVE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE AUTOMOBILES ARE PROHIBITED, THEREFORE THE ONLY MODE OF TRAVEL WHICH WOULD SERVE THE FUNCTION OF DELIVERING A LARGE QUANTITY OF CURRENCY WOULD BE HORSEBACK.

I was mistaken in my assumption that the lad had not written back to me. He had, in fact, sent me a message, but it came from Citi Bank rather than Benson, and it went to my spam folder. On top of that, the Citi Bank mail was all center-aligned, full of various font colors and sizes, it had a footer and header which were both stupidly long, and just very confusing and annoying. I'm removing all of that crap from these quotes in order to prevent viewer headaches.

I just got your email today, mean while i going to verify through courier company here to know how your fund will be deliver to you in your country, so i will get back to you as soon as i come back from the courier company here ok.

Another email came in a few hours later.
| Citi Bank on 23-Aug-2011 wrote: |
This is to inform you of the latest development concerning the sending of your fund sum of $2.5milliom united state dollars. i have verify with the courier companies here and below is the information I gathered from U.P.S and others,but just be rest assured that your fund will be delivered safely to you.
1. UPS. Cost of delivery including VAT and stamp duty...$370
2. TOP CLASS: Cost of delivery including VAT and stamp duty...$250
3. DHL Courier Cop: Cost of delivery including VAT, and Endorsement...$425
Meanwhile, I also verify about getting the fund clear and make a wire transfer into you bank account but that will cost you $850 as well because we need to clear the fund first through Benin Republic Citi Bank.For process and receive the fund through your Bank account.
These are my findings therefore, you are to choose any of this option above for the delivering of your fund but just be rest assured that your fund will be delivered safely. This are well known and efficial courier company here in Benin Rep and also they will deliver your bank draft to your door step. So you have to choose any one and send the money immediately to avoid any more delay. Finally,Please reconfirm your information,

I didn't reply right away because the messages went to my spam folder, so of course the lad contacts me a few more times within the span of several hours.

I finally notice his emails have been marked as spam and reply to him.
| Eva on 25-Aug-201 wrote: |

I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM. WHAT ARE THEY FOR? AND WHY DO YOU NEED $750? CANNOT YOU SIMPLY TAKE IT FROM THE FUNDS WHICH ARE TO BE SENT TO ME? PLEASE HELP ME HERE BECAUSE YOU ARE CAUSING A GREAT DEAL OF CONFUSION.
I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THEY HAVE VOICED SOME CONCERNS REGARDING THE HORSEBACK COURIER. THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A WEBSITE OR SOME INFORMATION REGARDING THE COURIER SERVICE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE HORSES CAN BE ALLOWED INTO THE COMMUNITY PROPER.

I hear from Citi Bank again, but it's not a very helpful email.
| Citi Bank on 26-Aug-2011 wrote: |

HELLO AGAIN. PLEASE STOP SENDING YOUR MAILS TO MY SPAM BOX. I WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MONEY GRAM AND WESTERN UNION ARE. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

A weekend passes. For some reason, at this point the lad's "fancy" corporate email format disappeared. Thank goodness.
| Citi Bank on 29-Aug-2011 wrote: |
Attention,
I write to let you know that i have made the equiries to the Horseback courier and the delivery of your funds as package will be successful only if you meet up with the delivery fee of $750 like i told you earlier on my previous mails.
It will be delivered to you through horsback courier as you chose but you have to tell us your nearest international or national ariport and we will re-arange everything and your funds will be delivered to you as soon as posible.
You need to send a delivery fee of $750 and you have to send the money through Western Union or money gramm money transfer so that i will pick it up and deposit your funds as package to the courier and it will be delivered to you as soon as posible.
Your nearest internationalor national airport is needed as urgent as posible to enable the Diplomatic agent to comence his journey to deliver your funds as package to you in your home addres that you have already provided.

Now we're getting somewhere...sort of. 
| Eva on 30-Aug-2011 wrote: |
HELLO THE NEAREST AIRPORT IS IN DWNERS GROVE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THEY HAVE APPROPRIATED THE $750 YOU MENTIONED. UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS I SENT TO YOU. THEY MUST BE ABLE TO VIEW THE HORSEBACK COURIER WEBSITE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE HORSES AND SERVICE WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY LAWS. IN ADDITION, YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS THING YOU CALL WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE TERMS, AND WITHOUT THAT KNOWLEDGE IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEND ANY MONEY TO YOU. SO PLEASE STOP IGNORING MY MESSAGES AND QUESTIONS, OR THE LEADERS HERE WILL BE INSTRUCTING ME TO CEASE ALL COMMUNICATIONS WITH YOU.
|
He's quiet for an unusually long period, so I poke him again.
| Eva on 31-Aug-2011 wrote: |
HELLO PLEASE RESPOND. I WANT TO HELP YOU, AND EVEN MY EMAILING YOU RIGHT NOW IS IN VIOLATION OF THE RULES I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO FOLLOW. PLEASE WRITE BACK WITH THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED.
|
Finally, almost two weeks later, he writes to me again.
| Citi Bank on 10-Sep-2011 wrote: |
I want you to contact the Horseback courier Delivery company now with their tomporary E-mail address which is :. (horseback*****@w.cn)and let me know when you heard back from them so that we will comence the registeration of your package to them immediately.
|
I didn't write back to him because other stuff was going on and I'd forgotten to check for his messages in my spam folder. However, he continued to write to me that same final email over and over every few days until the end of October. 
Not a very exciting bait, but a bit of a look at how dumb, stupid things can keep a lad rolling along. |

Is the horseback courier run by Wells Fargo? They recently took over Wachovia here and their team-of-horses symbol is on the buses and trains. |

@vonpaso - I'm not sure. 
I was thinking about this bait last night because I remember some things I had in mind for it. I swear I did more than I've posted, but I cannot find the emails. I recall having this elaborate celebration plan for the community which would require the delivery courier to come in escorted by miniature ponies or something like that. I thought for sure I expressed this to the lad, but I've got no idea where the emails are. Poop! |
