This has got to be one of his best replies yet Laughing

I was deceived into coming to Ghana after wasting my time for over one month. I got stranded in Ghana and no one gave a damme instead I was accused of things I did not do and made to look like a common criminal not to even mention the embarassment i got from the hotel management here etc.

...

I deserve some compensation, not just for the story but for the trouble and humiliation I suffered here in Ghana

But wait! There's more...! Stay tuned for the next next installment of Lost In Space - The Ghanian Episode, featuring the lad lost in the vacuum of his own reality.

I think we might be finding out how stupid he really is. Laughing

I'm thinking of actually sending him a WU payment, for 1 Euro. Problem is, it'll cost me more than 10 Euro to do it!

I think he really is stuck in Ghana because he's made no comment about catching a flight back to SA! Very Happy

Anyway, let's keep him there a bit longer...

Jacob,

I can't sleep. Let me know your new hotel's address so that I can get
something out to you. Don't mention this to George, please. He'll go
crazy.

Or offer him the address and phone number of the South African embassy in Ghana... surely if he goes in and explains that he came to Ghana with 10 cents in his pocket in order to secure vast riches through extortion, they will at least stand him to a ticket back home?

Does Rian-air fly between Accra and S.Africa? Smile

Know that it was not my intention to course you sleepless night, if anything I was trying save you from that and I got shafted, allow me to you your word. After the scam George pulled on me, I�m not sure I want to talk with him let alone tell him anything.

I should have known better not to trust lawyers. They are like politicians and the only one the care about is themselves.
I could hate him for lying to me but I am a Christian so I can�t hate anybody. I live everything to God.

My current address is
King of Kings Guesthouse
Odorkoh Accra, Ghana.

Well If and when I received something I would believe you. right now I am very low in my trust level and I know you understand why.

Jacob

But I do know that George is going to tell Jacob that he's free to reveal everything to anyone who would listen! Laughing

Maybe he does possess half a brain cell after all, even it is leased from a snail.

Aw, how sweet. After all you've put him through he's still your buddy... Laughing

Seems fitting..

Just tried to call him and his Ghana mobile (+23320888628) is now dead as well! He seems well and truly stuck in Accra. Very Happy

It was fun while it lasted. Just end his misery; give him the address of the embassy maybe they can help him. I hope he will learn from this experience

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 2:29 am

^^^ cough splutter choke...! But surely you jest Laughing

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 9:44 am

Keep him out there as long as possible!!! His greed is all that is keeping him there, if he wanted to, he could get home, im sure he could find the embassy himself!! He would find a way if he really wanted to. So, in my opinion, all that is keeping him there is the thought of getting money from you, so i say keep him there, he will leave if he wants to! He will learn........ Twisted Evil

I would forewarn the embassy if this was my bait and tell them to beware of this criminal in their midst and leave him there. He may his bed... Smile

Where is the nearest war zone from Ghana? As he is a journalist prehaps he could be come your African based war correspondant!

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 12:30 pm

Yeah - he might even get a job offer from the BBC if he's any good! Laughing

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 12:56 pm

It would be a shame if someone would point out to him that his
story has been scooped and already published.
Might teach him a thing or two about meeting deadlines
instead of lounging around on vacation in Ghana.

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 12:58 pm

How about if his story was published, and the person who wrote it wins the Pulitzer Prize for journalism (along with a hefty cash prize).

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 1:04 pm

I didn't say give him the REAL South African embassy address! I meant the one he has to travel to look for, and has to use the secret code phrase to get into: "I'm a criminal bastard and just robbed your mother."

That's a really good idea, but too much work. Oh well. I'll think of something to cheese him off even more.

Reply from George to Jacob...

Leon / Jacob,

Showbusiness is a funny game isn't it? One minute you are buying stories
from 419 criminals, negotiating with record companies for half a million
dollars.

Then you end up in a Ghana Guest House.

There is a way out of this for you, I've discussed it with Bobby, but
you need to get a number. I can't find the number for King of Kings -
and your Ghana mobile appears to be dead. I thought you had an expense
account? You told me it had $100,000 a month going through it. Why don't
you use that - send me your number and I will call you and let you know
the plan.

Yours
George B

For some reason I can't get him to hear me via my VOIP. I've just tried several times and I can hear him, but he can't hear me.

I was all prepared for the burn (within character) and tell him we are ready for the story to be leaked to the press.

I guess I will have to do it via e-mail rather than VOIP - which is a shame. I will be sending him this e-mail alater day:

Quote:

Dear Jacob,

I guess I should feel sorry for you stuck there in Ghana, but i don't. The reason is that you are actually Khumalo himself, you always were. We always knew this.

You then tried to blackmail us with your pathetic story. Go home to SA now, I'm tired of reading your drivel in my inbox.

We have delayed the story enough now, so it doesn't matter if it gets into the press at all - in fact the newsdesk number at the News of the World is 0800 2XX 3786 - call it up! be my guest.

Good luck, I hope you make a go of your new career. You never know I might leak you a story or two if I'm feeling generous. I like your headline writing skills - remember when you were trying to frighten us with your headlines? ha! That was funny.

BTW - Here is his reason why I couldn't find a number for his hotel. He really is out of money and stuck in Ghana!

Quote:

King of Kings is a very low profile Guest house in the outskate of Accra so I don�t know if they have a working telephone number at least there is no connection to my roam like in the previous hotel.

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 3:01 pm

Awww you cant burn him yet!!! This is fun!

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 3:12 pm

I realize that you can't take the word of anything the scammer says, but he may really be stuck here. If the first hotel took his passport in lew of payment that might be why he hasn't been able to get back to SA.
And, no, I don't feel the least bit sorry for him.

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 3:17 pm

Im thinking though, if the hotel has his passport, it doesnt matter if you burn him yet or not, as he still doesnt have it. I just get the impression some people are actually starting to feel sorry for him!

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 3:32 pm

Well, the way I see it is, if he's back in SA, he's going to go back to scamming people full-time again. Where he is, he's probably still doing that, judging by his constant presence at internet cafes, but at least he won't have his normal creature comforts around him. Very Happy

Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 5:16 pm

thats was possibly the best bait i have ever read nice one!
