Almost certainly commercial. There are a number of addresses coming up on that street. Try accessing the Lagos Commercial Directory - I can't as my work computer blocks it.

I also found an interesting article where they're talking about making internet access cheaper in nigeria so people can have it at home instead of just in cafes Can you imagine the mayhem that would cause? Shocked

Just wait until they get access to the cheap, windup (I think) lap tops that are being developed for Africa Exclamation

I think he is truly overwhelmed... Twisted Evil

Did anybody else get this plea to WAIT and not to send him any more e-mails. Poor lad...looks like he's got some real catching up to do!!

I've only been baiting him since Sunday afternoon...I've had the two standard resonses. I've been "baiting nice" to keep him on the hook....just now I got this third one (emphasis added):

HV that's what I got too, stalling for time to work through all the emails you think?

Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 6:29 pm

^Yep, got that as well, Hollywood. Unfortunately, my character overlooked that and swarmed his box with questions. Confused

Poor mugu.......not! Twisted Evil

Thats bizarre...so do I

Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 7:29 pm

He's probably shitting himself because he suddenly has SO many magas to juggle. He hasn't even replied to me. Laughing

Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 7:36 pm

i hope he hires someone to help out.

Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 7:47 pm

I contacted him posing as a lad on Saturday, I hope there are positions vacant... Wink

Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 7:55 pm

@ loading...

That would be awesome. He has to dish out money to hire some more mugus to e-mail us baiters. Good waste of time and money...

Time make this mugu use his brain a little more by asking difficult legal questions. Laughing

It doesn't really matter whether he even responds at this stage. His inbox is obviously stuffed FULL and he probably has to sift through all the gmails and other spam before he finds the people he's actually responded to. May I suggest that baiters who have hooked him Compose new emails every time they respond instead of using Reply? It adds to the traffic.

Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 10:24 pm

has any one received a new email address for the bank ?
I've asked david to find out, but he's a not responded as yet Smile

Oh and the bank didn't care that I hadn't signed the application.

I'm going to pop down to WU to collect that $10

Heard bog all from him today...only recieved two replies to any of my baits today.

Has been a quiet day in Ladland from my experience.

Got this gem tonight from "Mr. Dunn" at the "Bank". Does this look like a real account to you? No mention of WU or MG or any such typical lad modality....just - "send the money to this account"...

Is he slipping? Someone with more experience than I have, please indicate what might be my next best move here:

I just got that same e-mail tonight. He must be working overtime!

Besides from getting the account closed, what do we do next?

Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 1:33 am

Thanks TS....I bow to your wisdom. It appears from the SWIFT CODE that the bank account is here:

National Westminster Bank - City of London Office

1 Princess Street

London. EC2R 8PA

SWIFT/BIC Code: NWBKGB2L

I sent the whole enchilada to Alan with headers. Will we find out if it's killed??

I was thinking of turning "crooked" on this lad and telling him I have $7,000.00 USD in cash that I stole from the Bishop's Food Fund and I don't want to use the bank.....imagine ME suggesting MoneyGram ???? Laughing

I am a big fan of this from him:

Quote:

I think what he means by "our traditional banking standard" is that "send me money so I can spend it on hookers and designer watches" right?

I still got no reply, but it seems I was a day later than all of you in sending my initial mails and then another day after that because I used a damn gmail baiting account which he wouldnt touch with a 10' pole.

Switched to Fastmail and all is good... I'll just be patient I guess....
BUT I WANT THE MUGU NOW!!! No fair!!

I switched MO's on the "banker". I'm a crooked clergyman now. We'll see how THIS works:

St. Onan's Anglican Church
Scrotum Harbor, Washington

TO: Mr. David Dunn
International Remittance Department,
HSBC BANK PLC.

Dear Mr. Dunn:

*** PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL ****

I do NOT wish for the Bishop to know about this transaction. Please. This must be between us and Mrs. Irwin's attorney, Mr. Antony Edward. I am sorry, but there is absolutely no way possible for me to transfer money in the amount of $7,000.00 directly from the non-profit A-C.U.N.T. account without two signatures which are required...mine and the Bishops.

There must be some other, better way for us to get the fee paid. I have approximately $7,000.00 in USD cash at my home, mostly in small bills and rolls of quarters...money that I have been collecting from the top off of the Bishop's poor fund. I think you hear what I'm saying here.

What other method is there available to us? I obviously can't send the cash. Would something like MoneyGram International suffice? Firewire? We have to be careful since 9/11 and with the government watching for money going overseas and falling into terrorist hands.

Please let me know. A-C.U.N.T. (Anglican Catholic United National Trust) funds would be immediately frozen the very second it was noticed that the transfer was attempted with only my signature. We bank at Wells Fargo, here in Scrotum Harbor, Washington. Our bank president, Mrs. Anita Long-Hwang, is not somebody we can fool easily.

Your servant,

Fr. xxxxxxxx x. xxxxxxxxx
President
A-C.U.N.T.

P.S. You did not answer my previous questions about taxes and where we should put the inheritance when it arrives. Please give my kindest regards to Mrs Terri Irwin when you see her next.

CC: Barrister Antony Edward

I'm CC:ing the "barrister" on everything...why should Mr. Dunn have all the funn ???

Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:13 am

Just an aside... I assume we all want to keep this mugu as a "Side Pet" for quite some time...

Since he has received a lot of baiter interest, I am a bit worried that one "trigger" that its a bait and a fair few of the rest of us might get dropped.

Perhaps we should coordinate our timeframes (lets set up a calendar) so that we all keep him busy on different days once we progress far enough with this guy for safaris and photos and whatever else we do to him.

I.e. Further down the track, someone might book him out on Monday to get his tattoo done. Tuesday someone else might have him booked for a WU/MG transfer in the neighboring city. Wednesday he could be booked out for a church induction.

Get what I mean? That way we arent all putting pressure on him at once, we keep him evenly busy over a number of weeks?

Thoughts?

Maybe I am just being an idiot hey and should just bait more Wink

My character has the patience of a saint. Very Happy

Interesting that your lad has given you a bank account to send the money to as mine wants it via western union. I have told him it's been sent but have given no further details yet so expect to hear from him again soon. His latest reply was sent around 2.40am so he's a busy boy just now.

I'm in as well, btw.

I've thrown a bit of a wrench in the "church and mosque" that he wants to build, as I've revealed that Steve was a bit of a Wiccan, and so we'll need to be sure to place discreet references to the Earth Goddess in the structure.

I'm waiting for the certificates, etc....

Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 6:32 am

I think he needs more reminders to fill his in box. Evil or Very Mad

Neither of my latest letters, to the bank and the barrister, have bounced back.
