This is my first bait so I'd welcome feedback. Self-appraisal: I've worked way too hard, typed far too many emails. But hey! I've enjoyed myself and built a script that it already getting re-used....

Dramatis Personae

The bad guys:

Linda Rhode: Widow of oil baron, now dying in pain and wanting to distribute her millions to charity with the help of a westerner.

Gloria Waynewright (Mrs): ADMIN/CUSTOMER SERVICES ABBEY TRUST FINANCE PLC. She doesn't sound like a Gloria when you phone her on 0703 1906118. She sounds like a Nigerian man.

The Good(ish) Guys:

Krudyf Ingernails: A dupe. Made his fortune in the dot-com boom and spent it on fast living and cocaine. Now recovering and wanting to do good in the world. Treasurer of Los Angeles People's Dance Group (L.A.P. Dancers). A second generation Serb immigrant to the US. Has strong poliitcal views.

Myfannys Wett: Former dancer. Now works full-time in admin for L.A.P. Dancers. Busy, a bit dim, bad-tempered. Has her eye on becoming Mrs Ingernails if the price is right. Also a second-generation immigrant, her family is from the Welsh-speaking region of South Africa

Jack Potts: London entrepreneur and long con artist. Also after the Ingernails millions.

Det. Insp. Scott Lanyard: An officer in the high-tech crime division of London's Metropolitan police. Has been on the trail of Jack Potts for some time. (Actually, I haven't worked DI Landyard in yet)

The play

Enter Linda Rhode, languishing in Dubai. How odd then, that her IP address traces to an Israeli-owner sattelite system.

Quote:

To Krudyf
Dear Sir,

My name is Mrs. Linda Rhode a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer and It has defied all forms of medical treatment and right now I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts in Hong Kong.Iam married to Engr.Peter Rhode who worked with an oil company in saudi Arabia for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against it. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $12.5Million (twelve Million,five hundred
thousand U.S. Dollars) with a bank in Europe.

Presently, this money is still with the bank in Europe,so Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to churches,charitiable organisation or better still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this to fund churches,charitiable organisation and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don?t have any child that will inherit this money.I don?t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord
will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall write a letter of authorization that
will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you to
always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whosoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in truth and spirit. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for churches or christian individual for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to hear from you.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,
Mrs.LINDA RHODE.

Why do they have to be born-again Christians? Is that so we'll trust them or so we'll relish ripping them off?

Quote:

Dear Linda,

I am so sorry to hear of your illness and wish the Lord's blessing upon
you in your hour of need.

Please let me know how I can help you.

Blessings,

Krudyf

Ol Kruddy can't contain his excitement and writes again

Quote:

Dear Linda,

Please can I have a little clarification? Are you placing any limits on
the kinds of funds or charities that can be supported? Are you looking
to support specifically Christian charities? If so, any limits on the
aims they support or the denomination?

As administrator of this large sum, there are bound to be expenses
involved. Will I be able to retain a small amount to pay for my
services?

Still on script...

Quote:

Dear Krudyf,

I have received your mail and i must first of all show my appreciation over the fact that you have given need to the entreaty of a dying family. God want me to complete this mission hence i choose you,but i know you may be wondering how i choose you,actually when i heard from the doctor that my condition has become so bad,i have to reach out for a Christian individual that will utilize this money as i will instruct there in and the fact that you are God fearing person then it's easy to finish this.When i discovered this ailment, it dawned on me that i had been living a very vain life.Then the need to affect the lives of those in need became very paramount in my thoughts.This appears to be a case of
mercy after death as i no longer have the strength to do those things i used to do when i was still very full of life.

My dear friend,in my resolve to actualise my dying wish,i have been able to support charity to a very large extent around the middle east and euope.Then my health became a sorry tale, that at this particular point in time, i live at the mercy of various drugs and operations which certainly can not remedy anything.My close family members are however not happy with the way i have disbursed everything of mine to the motherless babies and the less priviledged.That was why they failed to help me actualise my dream of supporting charity.

They held for themselves the funds i made available and went as far as even trying to terminate my life when the hour(though very short )has not come.All relationship with me has been severed and they are of the opinion that the last of my fortune has been spent.Incidentally, the sum of twelve million,five hundred thousand dollars(united states) lies in a bank in Europe.That is the last i have here on earth.These funds i wish to entrust to you to help propagate the works of charity where ever your location is.By so doing,i would need your utmost sincerity and honesty to carry the venture along successfully.

It would be required of you to furnish me with your full names and
address,telephone and fax numbers,to enable me write a letter of authorization that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund with them.Once this is done,you shall make arrangements with them on the funds would be transfered to you.

I beg of you my friend to deal with me honestly and render me your assistance to the fullest of your capacity.you would be helping a dying family.Most importantly you would be touching the lives of a huge number of people.I hope i would be able to count on you while i wait impatiently for the time to come.My bones are slowly cleaving to my skin.

I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Warmest Regards,
Mrs linda Rhode.

Linda, that is much too generous. I couldn't take so much money from your charitable fund. I really only need a million. It seems you
want to make me rich (again). I was rich for a while. I made a lot of
money from my business in the 1990s. But, sadly, I spent much of it on
high living, espeically cocaine. Now I am clean again - my life has
been saved - and I am determined to thank God for my life by doing as
much good for others as I can.

I will share the fortune among a variety of worthy charities, including
a couple of hundred thousand for my own beloved L.A.P. Dancers.

I have spoken to one of the board membes of the LAPD and they are happy to help with resources, such as allowing me to use their accounts to
facilitate banking transfers. They were very excited and happy to hear
the news - the dance group is down to its last $85,000, which is not
enough to fund next season's work.

What information do you need?

The boss of the LAPD mentioned that there are often costs involved with
moving large sums from overseas. While we are (obviously!!) happy to
fund these costs, we do need to know what the fees might be - so we can
make sure our cash-flow is OK.

God Bless,

Krudyf

Hmm.. seems to be a Linda letter missing here. Never mind, you'll work it out...

Quote:

Dear Linda,

I am getting very excited about this. Being able to do your good work
for you makes me proud to know you. You are a good woman.

I attach my full contact details so we can do this as quickly as
possible.

Using tried and tested 419eater modalities, the file was in fact my sheep avatar repeated several times to make a 500KB file and edited to remove the internal file type info, then renamed as contact.doc

God Bless,

Krudyf.

Quote:

Dear Krudyf,

Please can you just send the information on a plain letter and send it to me
because the attachement is not opening.l will be glad to receive the
information.

Thanks.
Mrs Linda Rhode.

OK, now I need an excuse not to respond sensibly to this so I forward it to Myfannys Wettt. All the emails from Ms Wett, quote emails to Krudyf AND the supposedly private forwarding message. So why doesn't Linda get the hint and reply direct to Myfannys. We will probably never know.

Quote:

From Myfannys to Linda
What a shame. Myfannys doesn't understand.

Dear Mrs Rhode,

Mr Ingernails had been unexpectedly called away on business and has
asked me to deal with his emails while he is away.

Thank you for your enquiry about the L.A.P. Dancers. Unfortunately, due
to our current financial difficulties, we are not able to confirm dates
for the new season. We are hoping that funding will come in in time to
allow the new season to start in September. I have added your name to
our database and promise to let you know as soon as we have a schedule.

If you would like to support us financially and help ensure our work
continues, we would love to welcome you as a Friend of LAP Dancers.
Annual Friends support us with $150 a year. Friends For Life support us
with a single donation of $4500. All donations are fully tax deductable.

Regards,

Myfannys Wett
for L.A.P. Dancers

Krudyf to Linda
So as not to be rude, I'd better drop Linda a line. (Also to wind her up about not having been able to open my file - and to create an excuse to yell at her for inaction and incompetence later on)
This email dated 6th July.

Quote:

Dear Linda,

I have had to come to Europe very suddenly to sort out some problems
with my suppliers. I don't know how long I will be here.

I am in Venice, Italy - I landed a couple of hours ago and just found an
Internet cafe. Then I will go on to Rome and then London. This would be
a wonderful trip if I had time to see anything and did not have to fight
battles to solve the quality problems here.

I hope all the bank documentation will be complete by the time I return
and we can start moving some money - first to save my beloved L.A.P.
Dancers and then to start spending some real money to help people where
it is most needed.

While I am away, all my emails are being diverted to my colleague Ms
Wett at the LAPD office. I think you have all the information you need,
but if you need anything more, I am sure Ms Wett will be pleased to help
you.

Blessings,

Krudyf

Linda to Krudyf, forwarded to Myfannys
Note suggestion that Krudyf meets the bank agents in Europe - a message which never gets QUITE passed on.

From Myfannys to Linda. 7th July, Date of London bombings. Myfannys again attaches the unopenable sheep picture

Quote:

Dear Mrs Rhodes,

I am sorry I misunderstood your recent forwarded email about My
Ingernails's information.��Obviously I have come into this in the
middle. I am pleased to attach his contact file. I hope it has all the
information you need.

I don't know what his travel plans are and whether he will be able to go
elsewhere. I am sure he will call me at some point and I can discuss it
but I can see it might be difficult to arrange.��Tell me in more detail
what you have in mind. Please email me directly until his return.

To be honest, I am also very concerned for his safety.��I believe he was
flying into London this morning and we are just hearing the terrible
news from that city.

Regards,

Myfannys Wett
for L.A.P. Dancers

Now (8th July) Myfannys wants Linda's Help. Notice Linda has not replied to Myfannys at all yet. (Hmm... dare I post this.. this is the email that caught me so much lfack in the forum..)

Quote:

Dear Mrs Rhodes,

I am frantic with worry. I still haven't heard from Krudyf. PLEASE let
me know if you have heard from him. You may be the last person he spoke to.

I know he landed in London at 7 AM yesterday and he must have arrived in the center just as the bombs were going off.

Please tell me when you last spoke. Sorry to worry you.

Regards,

Myfannys Wett
for L.A.P. Dancers

To be honest I am now wondering if this bait has been sussed. No emails for some time. Time for a slap to liven things up. Krudyf has found an Intrernet Cafe. Note confusion about who is meeting whom...

Quote:

Dear Linda,

Perhaps you have done your Good Works by spending moneyt for so long you have forgotten that human care is needed too. When Myfannys wrote to you in such obvious distress, I think you might have found the love and
kindness to reply to her. I am disappointed in you.

As you have guessed by now, I am not lying dead under London. In fact, I
am still in Rome. I was exhausted by my trip and the many negotiations
here so I postponed my flight to London to take a few days off here. I
slept all day Thursday so I had no idea about the London disaster or that
people at home were worried about me.

Myfannys tells me you are interested in meeting me while I am in Europe.
Are you well enough to travel? You will have to arrange this via
Myfannys as my emails are still all being diverted to her. Please bear
in mind that she has a full-time job and is looking after my affairs as
a favour, so do not ask her to do anything too complicated.

In case we do not manage to meet, I do hope all the formalities with the
bank will be complete by the time I return to the US.

Regards,

Krudyf

Let's add a little more pressure (OK, I was bored)

Quote:

Linda,

Just to let you know I will be In London from tomorrow until the end of
the week. If you still want to meet, please arrange this with Myfannys
before Wednesday as I will have made my travel arrangements to return to
the States by then.

Blessings on you,

Krudyf

At last! she replied - but to Krudyf, not to Myfannys as requested. And don't forget Myfannys doesn't know Linda can't open the file. And, ooh look, after several days of silence, it's now "urgent". I don't think so!

Quote:

Dear Krudyf,

Thanks for your travel information.l will like you to write to me and give me your full names,contact address and phone/fax numbers to enable me write a letter of authorization to the bank so that they will release the money to you as the beneficiary because the money is still in my name and without making you the original-beneficiary,you cannot claim the money from the bank,by so doing then you give me your contact in london so that the bank officers will arrange to met you for cash payment.

l will expecting to hear from you urgently.

Thanking you for your kind assistance.
Mrs Linda Rhode.

Myfannys is cross and who can blame her?

Quote:

Dear Mrs Rhode,

Mr Ingernails and I are doing our best to help you. But you are not
making it easy. We have sent you the information you want twice. And we
are urgently waiting for you to tell us where and when the two of you
can meet. Yuo say you want to make arrangments but you have given us no information at all.

I am puzzled. If you are bedridden (and I am sorry to hear that) how are
you going to travel to London?

Regards,

Myfannys Wett
for L.A.P. Dancers

No response again, so Myfannys tries using Krudyf's email address

Quote:

Hello Mrs Rhode,

This is Ms Wett here. I am using Mr Ingernails's email address to send
this as you have repeatedly ignored my emails.

How much time do you think I have to waste to keep sending you the same
information over and over? Mr Ingernails and I have both sent you his
contact details.

You were too rude or too heartless to reply to me when I was worried
about Mr Ingernails's safety - but now you are full of demands that I
have to reply "urgently" to stuff I have already done.

Also, you have been asked at least three time to deal with me directly
while Mr Ingernails is away - yet you keep responding to him so it comes
back to me via his autoresponder.

You want things done urgently but you cannot follow simple requests to
speed up communication.

The information you want has been sent to you twice. Just go to your
in-box and double-click on the attachment. Is that too hard?

This has been a very stressful week for me and you are not helping.

And just in case that didn't sink in, Myfannys phones Krudyf and winds him up too....

Quote:

Dear Linda,

I just spoke to Myfannys Wett on the phone. I don't know what you said
to her but she is very upset with you.

I specifically asked you to make things easy and simple for her - not to
go upsetting her.

You have to remember, Linda, that this is a two-way process. We will
take great pleasure in distributing your funds to those who need it most
and using it to glorify the Lord's Name and we are most grateful that
your money will help secure the future of our beloved L.A.P. Dancers. BUT
distributing $12m will be a huge task - one which I hope Myfannys will
help with. We both need to do everything possible to keep her onside.

I have not heard yet whether you will able to meet me in London. This is
now becomng urgent.

Blessings on you and your work,

Krudyf

WTF is THIS???

Quote:

Dear Krudyf,

Can you remember that lam on a sick bed supported with mechine and laptop on my
front only been control by my hands.What l need is your help to receive this money and distribute it the way God wants it.Please if you cannot be of
help,let me know by return mail so that l can look for an alternative before it is too late.send the information i requested from you.

looking forward to hear from you.

Thanking you for your kind assistance.
Mrs Linda Rhode.

We are not amused.... At last I sneak in a contact number. Will she use it? Of course not. That would cost money.

Quote:

Linda,

Myfannys tells me you have yet again replied direct to this email
address instead of to her despite being told now FOUR times that this is
not the most efficient way to contact me while I am away.

She also tells me that instead of apologising to her, you have made
excuses of your sickness.

Much as I want to do business with you and help you in God's mission,
you must behave in a professional way. Myfannys and I are both busy
people.

If we are to arrange a meeting whle I am in London we have to speak on
the phone TODAY. Please call my voicemail, which we have now advised
you several times is +1 206-984-0339 and leave your own phone number so I can call you back.

Linda, I have to say, my patience is wearing thin. You have failed so
far to respond to every single effort we have made to make proper
contact. We are beginning to wonder if you are simply wasting our time.
This is your last chance to prove that you are serious otherwise this
deal is at an end.

Blessings on you and your work,

Krudyf

There was I expecting an apology and this comes. Is this how you speak to business partners?

Quote:

Dear Krudyf,

lam beginning to wounder your capability to handle this business transaction.lam on the sick bed and you want me to travel to london.The bank officers is the people who will met you for the release of this money but you have to be made the original beneficiary before the bank release the money to you so if you indicate your readiness and forward the information to me then l will write a letter of authorization to the bank for the release of the money to you but
without that no business transaction.

l will be looking forward to hear from you.

God bless you.
Mrs Linda Rhode.

Let's see if we can get an international call out of her... and explain to her about courtesy...

Quote:

Linda,

I have checked my voicemail several times but there is no message from
you. It is now 12:45PM in London. Unless I hear from you by 3:45PM I
will book my travel to return to the States and we will miss this
opportunity.

I do hope you have not tried to reach me directly by email again. As I
have explained, all my incoming mail is redirected to Myfannys while I
am away.

If you do wish to arrange a meeting, lease call 206-984-0339 and leave
- the location
- a date in the next few days
- a time

If you no longer wish to do that, a call telling me so would be
courteous.

Blessings,

Krudyf

I think Myfannys has PMT... (using Krudyf's email address) (That's PMS to our colonial cousins)

Quote:

Dear Mrs Rhode,

This is Ms Wett here again. Why do you take no notice at all of my
emails. It is a complete waste of my time replying to you. I am sending
this from Mr Ingernails's email address because you always ignore emails
from me otherwise. Why???

> lam beginning to wounder your capability to handle this business
> transaction.

You have a nerve! We have fallen over backwards for you but you do not
seem to be able to do the simplest thing. I do not want to deal with you
any more and I will tell Mr Ingernails I think he is wasting his time
with you.

>lam
> on the sick bed and you want me to travel to london.

WHAT????? Of course not. It was your suggestion, not ours. You said Mt
Ingernails should "divert to a nearby country" for a meeting.

> if you
> indicate your readiness and forward the information to me then l will write a
> letter of authorization to the bank

WHAT INFORMATION??? We have given you everything you asked for several times.

Is this all some kind of sick joke? Are you playing games with us or are
you really as stupid as you seem?

Myfannys Wett

Rub it in a bit..

Quote:

Linda,

It's 3:30PM and I've had no voicemail message from you so I am going
now to make my travel arrangements.

I feel I have to assume you are not serious about completing this
transaction.

I will be back in the States next week so if you do still want to do
business, contact me then. I am sorry to say that Myfannys has made it
very clear she does not want to work with you - and I cannot really say
I blame her.

God's Blessings,

Krudyf

After this email someone did call the voicemail number but did not leave a message.

Quote:

Dear Linda,

I am back in the States. Just arrived home from the airport.

I am disappointed and surprised that there is no phone massage, fax or
letter from you or your bank. I have switched off my autoresponder so
you (or they) can now email me here again.

I am at a loss to understand why you offered a meeting and then did not
call me either to arrange it or say it was off.

I know you are sick but if you are doing the Lord's work, as you say, He
will give you the strength to do what is needed to make this succeed.

I am going to bed to sleep for a long time. I have had an exhausting
time travelling.

God bless you,

Krudyf

Enter Jack Potts. While Krudyf was in the air, Jack responds to her orignal email

Quote:

Dear Mrs Rhode,

I am sorry you are sick. You will be in my prayers. I will help you.

Hm.. she'll reply to Jack Potts even if not to Krudyf. Where have we read this before?

My dear friend,in my resolve .. blah blah blah...

But Jack Potts is not all he seems.

Quote:

My Dear Linda,

This may be the most important email of your entire life. Please read it very carefully.

I answered your "SOLICITATION" email to make sure I had your attention. Now I have a question for you? Do you want to spend your life scraping a few dollars with advance fee frauds OR do you SINCERELY want to be rich?

This is YOUR important day. You are about to make it BIG.

I learned about you from someone we both know who got drunk with me in London last week. Does the name Krudyf Ingernails ring any bells? Ah, dear Mr Ingernails tells me a LOT of things.

Linda (I am calling you that for now although I know perfectly well it is not your name), you have made a real mess of scamming him. You really, really need my help. I have copies of all your emails with him and I can list your many mistakes. If you want to learn your trade, I suggest you humbly ask me to do this as a generous and free service.

The biggest mistake of all is you have not found out how much money he has. What were you hoping to scam him for? $40,000? $50,000? Linda, he is good for 100 times that much. He does not have money in the bank but he has a home worth TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS that he could easily mortgage - for us!

I take the long view. I have been working on Ingernails for over two years. I have a lot of investment in him. I cannot afford for an amateur to scam him for a few dollars and make him suspicious.

It is important that you understand one thing. Either you are working WITH me on this or you are AGAINST me. If you choose not to work with me, I will kill your scam stone dead with one phone call. But so far he has believed your nonsense and that makes you useful to me - I can see a way of working together to bring this to a hugely successful conclusion.

If you want to be truly rich, just say the word!

I cannot keep calling you Linda. Let's start with a little honesty with each other. Email me back your real name and nationality and I will respond by telling you some important secrets that will set us on the path to riches. I will not tell you everything yet - I am not stupid! But as we come to trust one another, we will have a scheme of such beauty it will make you cry just to think of it.

Oh, another VERY IMPORTANT thing. You MUST continue letting Krudyf believe he is going to receive $12.5 and you MUST NOT ask him for any advance fee. If you do, everything will be ruined and you will not get a single penny. Remember NO ADVANCE FEE. We are after MUCH bigger things here.

Are you ready for the big time, Linda? Are we going to be partners. I can feel and smell the money!

Sincerely

Jack Potts

I am beginning to worry I've blown it. Let's try to get her back by giving her the info she's wanted for 31 emails: the address iof the central LA police precinct.

Quote:

Dear Linda,

I have now read all the emails you sent me while I was away. I now
understand you could not open my contact file - although I do not
understand why. Everyone else does so with no trouble. I am still cross
with you because you have messed us around about travel, been unclear in
your communications, failed to contact me and been extremely rude.
Dealing with you via Myfannys caused me a lot of trouble while I was
away.

But despite all that - perhaps against my better judgement - I am going
to type out my contact details for you. Is there any point? I gave you
my phone number several time but you didn't use it!

Turns out Jack Potts has read the 419eater forum on bank killing and fires off an abuse notification.

In the tradition of the British gentleman crook, Jack is a loyal subject of the queen and detects a slight in the bank site.

Quote:

Dear Linda or Gloria or whatever you're calling yourself today (do you like dressing as a lady when you pretend to be one?),

I WARNED YOU.

I made it very clear.. NO advance fees, just keep Ingernails believing the money is coming.

I told you, you are WITH me or AGAINST me.

Seems you are against me. You are about to find out why that is a VERY bad idea.

Jack

PS. You do have a lot of mobile phone numbers. Which one should I call to make it even clearer to you?
0704 0122320 ?
0774 2814739 ?
0703 1906118 ?

PPS. You really do have a nerve! Using the coat of arms of the British Government. I hope they throw you in the fucking Tower of London.

From Jack Potts to Linda and Gloria after a quick call to the various mobile number gets an answer from one of them.

Quote:

You don't SOUND like a Linda or a Gloria. You sound like a typical little Nigerian small-time scammer. I cannot believe I wasted my time trying to make you rich. You have no faith, no ambition. To be so STUPID and so LITTLE your father must have had a tiny penis and your mother must have been a goat.

I have found out you were trying to scam Ingernails for TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS. You loser! �2500 when you could have had a MILLION DOLLARS.

I am going to look for someone who is a real Oga to work a PROPER con with me. You had your chance to play with the BIG BOYS and you blew it. You IDIOT.

Your miserable little testicles will turn green and rot before they fall off.

Jack

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Krudyf has had his breakfast and checks his email

Quote:

Dear Mrs Waynewright,

I think I have succeeded in signing up but I'm not sure. I got many Javascript errors. There seems to be something wrong with your site. I have not had a confirmng email so I am really not sure.

I see you are part of the Abbey National Group. This will be very convenient as my UK banking is already done through your group.

Regards,

Krudyf Ingernails

Jack writes to Linda and the bank again...

Quote:

You are one LUCKY son of a whore and a monkey!

I just spoke to Ingernails and he DIDN'T UNDERSTAND your scam! He didn't realise you are expecting him to pay �2,500 into your fake bank account.

KEEP IT THAT WAY and we MIGHT still be able to do business together.

I am still going to HIT you HARD to make sure you understand who is BOSS here. But I am going to let you live.

Just string him along, tell him the money is delayed. DO NOT ask him for an advance fee, and we MIGHT still stand a chance here.

When you are ready to talk thief-to-thief, let me know and I'll tell you a LITTLE of your part in this.

Jack

Gloria writes to Kudyf. Odd that my login doesn't seem to work. Maybe my passowrd wasn't "krudlumps" after all.

Dear Linda,

I have opened the London account as you asked. By coincidence I already bank with the same group in London, so it will be very convenient. Now it's all over to you to make the transfer and I will start making charitible donations immediately.

God help you,

Krudyf

And so is Jack.. who has been phoning the webhosts in Dallas every couple of hours to nag them to take the site down urgently - which they do.

Quote:

I promised you hard slap to show you who's boss.
Slap delivered. Just check out your pathetic little bank. Oooo I think you are going to have to think of something quick before Ingernails logs backs on. TIME TO THINK! Can you do that?

I am going to be all over you like cum on your mother's face when she's been to the shebeen until you decide to do the RIGHT thing. I am going to make you rich, you STUPID LITTLE dog tail. Why fight me?

Don't fuck up MY con. Don't fuck with ME. Do as I tell you and we will both be happy, rich little thieves. Play it my way and you'll soon be farting through silk. Fuck me about and you'll be bvreathing through a tube.

WHERE'S YOUR BANK????

Jack

Jack calls Linda on her mobile but she keeps hanging up..

Quote:

You don't hang up when your BOSS rings.

That's it.. so far.

Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2005 8:47 am

Let's see if Linda has a back up plan now her bank is gone...

Hm.. I seem to have run out of colours!

Quote:

Dear Mrs Rhodes,

I do a lot for charity already. Together we could do much more.
Handling this much money sounds like a full time job. I would love to get out of this dull job at SCU and devote all my time to this project. I can only do that if I can take a salary from your bequest. Is that a possibility? Please let me know.

Your state of health will be in my prayers.

Krudyf has some bad news for Linda

Quote:

Linda,

I am very worried about you - your health and your money.

Firstly I am worried because I have not heard from you for a week and when you did last write it was a strange, irrational letter. Knowing you are in such poor health, if you are well enough to reply, please do so and put my mind at reas. Can you please give me a phone number of someone close to you so I can call and make sure you are OK?

Secondly, I am scared by what sounds like terrible news I had today. I tried to access my new online bank account with Abbey and the website has disappeared. I assumed it was a computer glitch. As I had to call Abbey National about some other issues anyway, I told them about the website problem and I could hardly believe mt ears at what they said. They said ABTF was nothing to do with them - in fact it was a fraud. It was closed down yesterday after a member of the public alerted them.

Please tell me your money is safe! I cannot bear to think that some crooked bankers have stolen so much money from you - and from the needy people who would have been helped by it.

God bless,

Krudyf.

I'm on it. It was down for about 36 hours. The hosts seemed as suprised as I was that it was back - a tech cock-up apparently.

The good bit is, the mugus don't seem to know it's back Wink

Thank for the appreciation, fellow baiters Embarassed

No reply to anyone for quite a few days now, including Luke-Atme.

Let's hope it means the loss of the bank has hit them hard and not just that they're busy.

I don't recall seeing the Luke-Atme approach in other batis I've read - but it seems fairly obvious - to bait them again so you can immediately kill the next bank they set up. Is this standard protocol?

Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2005 7:07 am

krudyf_ingernails, I have been drawn out of lurkdom. Why? 'Cause this one is tight. Cool

I wish I could have seen the expression on "Linda's" face while "she" was wondering what the hell to think about Jack Potts.

Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2005 3:02 pm

Another new name, another new phone number. This one is actually a mobile number. I now realise the others were "personal" numbers.

Mr Anderson,

Why are you carrying on this pretence? I bank with Abbey National and
they told me your so-called bank is not part of them at all -but a
fraud.

Aren't you happy having stolen $12m from my friend Linda Rhode?��What do
you want from me?

How can you be so cruel? Mrs Rhode is a God-fearing Christian who is
dying in pain and you steal her money. You are an evil person.

I am warning you, if I do not hear from Linda that her money has been
returned in the next 24 hours I will go to the police with this email
and I am sure they will be able to track you down.

Krudyf realises he's been hasty.

Quote:

Dear Linda,

There is some hope I think.

Those wicked bankers who stole your money have contacted me again. I really don't know what they want from me. Perhaps they are so greedy your $12m is not enough for them and they think they will get my money too. But I have a lot of experience in business and I will not be easily fooled.

I enclose their email in the hope that the police investigating them can use it to track them down.

I fear I may have done the wrong thing and alerted them. I was so angry I replied and told them they are wicked men. Perhaps it would have been better to keep quiet.

Would you like me to talk to the Dubai police - or to the police here?

Let me know what I can do to help. I can't believe there is such wickedness in the world that these men would steal from you.

God help you,

Krudyf

Does Dallas have the world's most helpful webhosts? It took LayeredTech just 10 hours from receiving my abuse note to letting me know they've shut the mail account down. Well done LayeredTech.

Wonder why these lads have chosen Dallas for their webhosts and their DNS record street addresses, (but London for their bank and their phone numbers and Dubai for their widow's location). Their satellite pool IP addresses place them in Nigeria.

Er... I'm scaring myself here! Do you think this is going too far?

Quote:

Oh Linda, Linda, you never write. You never call. We had such a great future together, then nothing. What's a man to do?

I'll tell you what a man's to do. Give you another big fuck off SLAP, that's what.

What do SLAPs mean? SLAPs mean PAIN. You can make the pain stop. Just get in touch and talk business.

I told you I'd stick to you like your uncles' jism on your mamma's face. You didn't believe me, did you Linda? Well, you better believe it. I can be your WORST fucking NIGHTMARE.

This is big business for me and you are treading in dangerous places. You want the GOOD NEWS? You are going to get a LOT of love and attention. I've put one of my hacker boys on you full time. We already know you're in Nigeria. By the end of the week we'll know everything about you from your kids' names to the colour of your morning shit.

Linda, it all so sad. Such a waste. I don't WANT to shut you down or hurt you. I want to make you RICH. But you seem to need convincing I am serious - so these things have to be done.

Just waiting for your call,

Your ever loving,
