SIR, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE NOW BUT I STIL DOUBT THAT THE SHIPMENT WILL BE DELIVERED IN IBADAN. I SAD THIS JUST BECAUS I NOTICE THAT IN NIGERIA NOW, MOST SHIPMENT THAT DONOT CME THRUGH FEDEX,DHL,UPS OR TNT ARE ALWAYS HAVING PROBLEMS OF DELIVERY. IN MOST CASES THE SHIPMENT WILL NOT BE FOUND.SOMETIME AGO A PACKAGE CONTAINING SOME DOCUMENTS AND BROCHURES WAS SENT TO SOMEONE THROUGH YOUR COURIER COMPANY AND UP TIL NOW THE PACKAGE HAD NOT BEEN FOUND (<<that was Keysers package Very Happy

). I WILL STIL ADVISE YOU TO HAVE A BRANCH OFFICE IN NIGERIA SO THAT YOU WILL BE FREE FROM ALL THESE LOST OF PACKAGES AND ALL YUR GOODS WILL BE EASILY TRACEABLE LIKE UPS,FEDEX,DHL,TNT ETC WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS

His IP was the same as the email received by Keyser 82.193.37.3

I wonder, at a later date, would Kenny like to be my agent in charge of our new office in Nigeria, he will be responsible for deliveries in Nigeria, and with all the lost packages lads are expecting, they can be informed that the agent is under suspicion of theft of their items, as an agent, he will have to supply his real address as he will be working from home Twisted Evil

I just got these three emails from Kenny. The thing that amazes me is this- he still thinks that I am a good guy! He still believes me about the laptops and all of that. SO� I am going to have to play along with Kenny here. I was scammed by Nigerians! Hopefully he can help me out.

lol.

You should start a bait from a different address to see whether he truly has changed his ways. You might be able to go into business with him and sell yourself some lap tops. You could be his new oga Very Happy

I sent him this:

Quote:

Kenny-

I have not been able to sleep at all for days. I have been so worried about you. Everything in my life is going wrong. It sucks. I feel like such a fool. I have been taken for thousands of dollars. I think the place that I was using to send money ripped me off. It was run by a Nigerian man in London. He told me he would take the money to the WU for me and send it. I thought since you were Nigerian that he would take care of me. Indeed he did not. His name was Usman something, he said he was in London for a few more days. Have you heard of a man named Usman?

This whole thing is such a mess. I am sick with rage. Do you know how much time and money I wasted? This is ridiculous. How long were you in Accra? How did you get back? I hope everything is well with you and you are not angry with me. I am just na�ve I guess. I really try to look for the good in people. I always try to think that people are honest, but I guess I was wrong. I am glad to know that you are a good friend. You really stick by my side, and I thank you for that. I did not join the scammers, believe me.

Have you been able to pick up the goods yet? What is the status on that? I hope that you at least were able to get those. Please let me know how everything is with you. Please know that I am sorry for all that has happened. I am going to lavish you with gifts when we meet. I love you brother.

Note: I have changed my email address because of a certain man that I think hacked my account. I think you were right about that Kenny. Strange things are afoot here.

Please, sal, stay the good guy! Don't be a scammer! Stay true to yourself. hehehe Laughing

Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 2:26 pm

He keeps bugging me to find him some laptops also. I told him that I know of a really good deal, but i have to wait a couple of months before it becomes available.

I am really just hoping to use it is an initiative to get him to send my friend some art work. But I guess he is goingto be broke for a while though.

Kenny is anxiously awaiting delivery of his goods, he sent me a short email:

Quote:

good day,
are you stil hearing anything about the shipment? i mean the one iwrite yu about with the tracking no xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Take care.

Ip is still the same 82.193.37.3

I updated tracking page showing his goods delivered elsewhere:

Okay SP, I will work on getting him to Togo.

I just got this... HOW CLOSE WAS I TO AN ARREST?!?!?!?!

Quote:

good day to you again.
i just got your email now. i went through hell in accra before i could make it down to nigeria again. i was in accra for about 7 days.i was just suffering there without money and facing a lot of hunger. well, i believe so much in my God and i believe that he would help me out of the great trouble i faced in accra.do you know i would have been arrested for that western union secure slip? it was only God that saved me.scammers have invaded everywhere in the world now and everybody has to be careful.the are in america, europe, asia and all parts of africa. they work in cooperation with even the white men.i am sure of what am telling you.i had to use my initiative to escape in accra. if not, i would have been arrested and jailed immediately.a guy that came with a similar WU slip was caught and arrested by the police.they would have done the same to me but i always work in prayers so ibelieved it was God that saved me.the guy that was caught must have been jailed by now. he was caught on that very day tha i went to mokola bank last.
sal, i am really thanking my God now and am happy that he really saved me. i have been entering troubles since the first time in maduguri and yola. second time in accra and this is the third time in accra again. i can never go anywhere for such things again.i appreaciated your efforts and i will keep praying for you. as i have always told you, you need tobeware of scammers.maybe when you come here you will hear a lot about them again.they are going far everyday and the police is arresting them everyday.
try look for a legitimate business such as the one itold you about.i mean laptops business. just look for stores that want to sell on clearance sales of old laptops.(brand new but old stocks)they use to be very cheap and once they get here we will make some kool profits on them. the market is moving very fast here.
pls for God's sake again. pls dont join the scammers.There is always a big curse on what they do and they always die untimely death.pls if they have scammed you, just forgetabout it and try to be more careful because they are everywhere.continue to pray and have faith in God. I have suffered a lot in all the three trips and idonr pray to go through such sufferings again in my life.i am someone that likes making friends a lot and i really want to see foreigners invest in my country so that the bad impression thay have on africa can be changed.
concerning the goods, are you sure those goods are real?the experience i had in ghana makes me to believe i will never be able to see those electronics you said you sent to me. everything is looking like scams to me now and i cannot really understand whats going on.
i hope to hear from you latter. Take care

hahaha. a lad running from de police.

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:34 pm

Did anyone have a lad arrested last Thursday or Friday? Or claim to be arrested using the WU secure? There is your proof.

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:34 pm

I TOLD YOU JOJO Very Happy

See, Prudential is still busting ass...hehe...I wonder it that was one of my lads that got busted. Ask Tony if he got the name of the lad...haha

BW

Hey Jojo...I received this on 10/5 which would have been Thursday.

Quote:

This is going beyond our power one of our member we sent to the location to pick up the money was arrested that they`ve already pick up the money and he now come back to claim it so he was held down and now we don`t know what to do,pls for the sake of god we want you to confirm to us the actual time the money was picked up and also the location,and let me know the assistant you can do for us to be released also.

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:41 pm

There is your proof BW! This guy has no reason to lie about it. I sure didn�t tell him about it before either.

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:45 pm

I was trying to get this lad to actually give me some physical proof like police docs or even a newspaper article about the arrest. He said he would but then asked why and got angry...blah blah blah.

We sent a lot of lads around that time frame so I dont want to claim it quite yet. Im going to see if I can work this lad for some real proof again.

BW

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 2:31 pm

Well hot damn. I sent mine on Monday, so sadly it's not Becky. I'll have to doctor up a WU secure slip and have her walk in and not take no for an answer. Prudential giving us some hope??

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 4:57 pm

SP- This guy is bad mouthing your company! We need to retaliate. I am sickened by how close I was to an arrest.

Quote:

the fact about the matter is that "any money that you have sent through anyone you refer me to canot be received. you cannot receive any money in nigeria through such means. trying to locate the so called USMAN BELLO cannot be possible for me. if trully yu sent money thru him, then try collect your money from him back. trying to look for things like that is very risky here.if you want to end ay money, go to www.westernunion.com eveything is well explained there. going through anyone may lead to scamming.
i escaped the trouble in mokola prudential bank jusst because i prayed to God and God knew that my going to accra was not for a bad mind. i went there with a sincere and clean heart. i spent a lot of money going there.
the guy was arrested just before i went there the next day.it happened in my presence but i left there quickly.the electroniks cannot be found also.LET ME TELL YOU A FACT THAT YOU DONT KNOW....any shipment that is not made through fedex,ups,dhl will always have a problem and the goods cannot be found. DHL, UPS and FEDEX HAVE MADE A VERY GOOD NAME IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I PREFER RECEIVING GOODS THROUGH THEM BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN RECEVING GOODS THRU THEM FOR OVER 5 YRS NOW AND I NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THEM.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS EVEN TOLD EVERYONE IN OUR COUNTRY TO PATRONICE THEM VERY WELL;THEY THEY ARE VERY RELIABLE.

AM STIL ON MY SYSTEM IF U REPLY ME
TAKE CARE.

good day sal,
i want to aska question from you. don't you thnk yo have also been scammed about the electronics you said you sent through made up 1 courier? don't you think so?

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 5:04 pm

A guy was arrested right before his eyes? I wonder if it was one of the two dozen or so that BW, Roycropper and I sent there. We have been looking through the Ghana news sites for such evidence but have yet to find a thing.

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 5:09 pm

I am trying to get more information on that YW. I am asking all of the questions that I can. I sent another lad there that morning, but it was not him. I am doing my best to try and get the information for you guys, but it sounds like he ran out once he saw what was going on. I cannot believe that he was one person away from getting arrested.

@ JoJo, how can he say the couriers scammed you, his goods are ready for collection, what a numpty Rolling Eyes

, not our fault you undervalued the goods was it Very Happy

Hard luck missing out on the arrest, coooooooo close Mad

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 5:28 pm

I am putting the thought into his head that Togo is not too far from Nigeria. I hope we can get him moving. I don�t think that Western Union Secure Services (WUSS) are going to get him moving again.

I sent him an email in reply to his last but one email, I wonder if he will ask about a job being my agent:

Quote:

Dear Sir,

I must take issue with your email, where you state this, and I quote you:

I WILL STIL ADVISE YOU TO HAVE A BRANCH OFFICE IN NIGERIA SO THAT YOU WILL BE FREE FROM ALL THESE LOST OF PACKAGES

What do you mean by ALL THESE LOST PACKAGES?

Let me tell you that we do not lose many packages, I am not aware that my company loses all of it's packages like you suggest, I admit your shipment went astray, but it was not lost, just mixed up with a previous tracking number for another customer. It goes without saying that a company delivering thousands of shipments every week, will at times, have a shipment go missing, but that is a very rare occurence for us.

I am not aware that your current shipment has been lost, quite the opposite, your shipment is ready for collection in Togo, I have just checked your tracking page, and you may have noted on there that there was another "shipment exception", this was because the sender undervalued the value of the goods being shipped to you, this means the carrier insurance is null and void and your shipment had to be offloaded in Togo!

It is not a case of your shipment being lost, it is down to the incorrect valuation of the good by the person who sent the shipment to you, which is no fault of ours, I suggest you take it up with the sender.

I must advise you that we have a clause in our shipping policy, which states that any goods that are not collected within 10 days of offloading, from the date of offloading, which in your case, is October 13th 2006, are to be subject of public auction for us to recover demurrage for the cost of storage that we have to pay for uncollected goods!

On the other issue you mention about opening a branch office of my company in Nigeria, earlier this year, I advertised in the Nigerian press looking to recruit people to be agents for my couriers, we did not receive one single application from anyone wanting the job, if I knew someone who was willing to work as my agent in Nigeria, I would give them a job straight away, but people there do not seem to be interested in working for a courier.

Regards,

C M.

Kenny can sort out jobs if I want courier agents for my office in Nigeria Very Happy

, and JoJo can sort out his shipment problems, just tell him you have been in touch with my couriers and we said the shipment cannot be moved again once it has been offloaded, so neither our couriers or others can deliver it, so it has to be collected:

Quote:

sir, if you had informed me about getting people that will work for you i would have helped you on that. how many people do you need? am serious. i can get you as many workers as you want if you plan to have a branch in nigeria.pls do so because this will really help your courier service a lot.
let me know if you stil need people to work for your company here.
i have a computer school here. i can easily tell many of my students that there are job opportunities and am sure they will respond well because many of them need jobs.
i will contact the sender of the goods to take care of the problem. i think this is better.he is the only one that can help the matter and not me.

Must find out some more about his computer school, maybe ask for some photos of him and the school to see who I am dealing with, if that's ok with you JoJo, it's your bait, mate.

I sent Kenny a reply:

Quote:

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email concerning employing people as courier agents in Nigeria. I must say, it is very good of you to offer your services to my company, you mention that you run a computer school, would you care to send me some photos of yourself and of your school so that I can see the sort of set up you are running over there, that will give me a good idea of your capabilities for providing what I need for my company.

Also, my company regularly gives away our older computers to needy people overseas, and as you run a computer school, those may be of use to you, next time we get new computers, I will bear you in mind for getting our old computers.

Regards,
