, he wasn't very chatty this time was he, maybe my email all about 419 was on his mind Very Happy

Your Excellency,

I thank you very much for your patience with us and your understanding.

We will, by the special grace of God, send the tape in 13 days time... Precisely on the 20th of this month(february, 2007). We are making sure that we give the best of our ability in the productions.

We are also going to send the names, addresses, dates of birth, passport photographs of the participants before the above date. I thank you once again.

May the good Lord continue to guard and guide you.

AMEN.

Yours sincerely,

xxxx xxxxx.

It better be good to have to wait that long!! African Biker.... cant wait!

The word "brilliant" doesn't even begin to describe this superlative bait. Your 419 email was particularly inspired. I can't wait for the video!

I hope you send a copy of the video to the real village people, they'll probably laugh just as much as everyone else following this fantastic piece of humour! Laughing

There have been no emails since February 7th and I have not mailed him since then either, I hope he hasn't changed his mind, most likely, he is very busy making costumes and rehearsing songs Very Happy

, anyway, I dropped him a line to see how he is getting on, I also wanted to see if I can get him to upload the video to his computer, and send it to me via a file sharing website, it will be a lot easier that way, but if he can't get it on his computer, I have had a couple of offers of help to get it online:

Quote:

Dear xxxxx xxxxx,

Thank you for your email, I have not had a chance to reply to you until now, I have been quite busy, please accept my apologies.

I was at the home of the music producer for dinner yesterday, it was just an informal affair, we had a lovely evening. During dinner, I gave him the latest update that you told me about, stating that the video will be ready on February 20th, and he has given me some information to pass on to you.

He says that, due to time constraints, and the fact that he has to travel to the UK to do some

As a result of this, he would like you to upload the completed video to your computer, and then upload it online via a file sharing website, that way, he can access it and download it instantly as soon as you have uploaded it, he is going to send me an email with screenshot images giving full instructions on using the file sharing website to upload it to, and I will pass those on to you as soon as I receive them, all you will need to do is upload the video on to your computer.

How are the rehearsals and the costume making coming along, I trust that everything is going smoothly with the preparations? I am very confident that you will do a fantastic all round job, I have spoken to many people here about you, and trust me when I say that I speak very highly of you, they are all eager to hear your music, and in addition to that, I hope that once you have recorded the song in the US, that you would do me the great honour of performing live at one of our White House functions?

xxxxx, I have had an idea which will be of great benefit to you and to needy people, if it's alright with you, I would like to take the very first Y.M.C.A song CD that is produced, and have every member of your group sign it, I will also sign it, as will the producers and everyone else involved, we can then auction that CD to the highest bidder on eBay, with all the money raised from the auction going to African charities, you can choose which charities will benefit from the money, I think that would be a mighty fine thing to do, would that be agreeable with you?

Sincerely,

Gxxxxx W Bxxx.

I am getting a bit worried about not hearing from him for so long, not overly worried, though, as he has had periods of 8 days (twice) and 7 days in between replying, it's now 9 days since his last email, so I sent him a short email for an update:

Quote:

Dear xxxxx xxxxx,

I have not heard from you for quite some time now, have you received the emails I sent to you and are you alright?

It's not like you to be this quiet, I know you are busy with rehearsals etc, but it would be nice to have an update so that I know you are well and have not come down with some kind of illness.

I sent you one email explaining that the producer will be visiting the UK, and I sent another email which included screenshots and full details on how and where to upload the video for the producer, did you receive those emails?

God bless you, God bless America and Africa.

Sincerely,

Gxxxxx W Bxxx.

12 days on from his last email and he has replied jump_4_joy

, phewwwww, he's been busy rehearsing, I love this email, he has got the singing down on CD ready to send, but no full picture video yet, apart from clips of the rehearsals, hmmm, think I will get him to send this lot for now, and then send the full video when it's finished:

Quote:

Your Excellency,

I will have to apologise for the lateness of this mail. We have been very busy with the rehearsals and the recording of the YMCA song... we now have the singing on CD! And, Sir, it is a real piece of music to listen to.

We are now ready to present it. We also have the passport photographs ready with the clips of the vidoe of the rehearsals. How do we get all these across to you?

We are, however, having a little problem. You instructed that we should upload the music into my computer. Unfortunately, I don't have a computer. I normally use a public computer in sending and replying mails. So, I think the best way for me to send the requirements and the music to you is through courier.

Most importantly, you mentioned in your last mail to me that you sent a mail before this last one which included screenshots and full details on how and where to upload the video for the producer and asked if I recieved it. I didn't get it. I am also worried about that.

However, we are very excited with the wonderful suggestion you gave about the auctioning of the CD to the highest bidder on eBay, with all the money raised from the auction going to African charities! This is very wonderful of you! So, I, of all poeple will have to be someone who would be giving a helping hand to the less priviledged! I really look forward to such a wonderful thing. I really appreciate such a suggestion.

Your Excellency, we are taking a lot of caution in our preparations. These blessings that are coming to us through you is really overwhelming.... Imagine my friends and I preforming in the White house in the presence of the strongest man on the planet and his right men... Well, I will only thank the Lord God for His goodness to mankind and for creating such a person like you. (no, the good lord has created a monster Laughing

) We will always try our best to make sure that all that we do will be a show of hard work, showcasing talent, culture and entertainment. As I told you above we have finished the recording of our voices but we have not done the video. Should we go ahead and do it or should we send only the clips from the rehearsals that we recorded with a friends ,videoing manchine?

The Lord God will continue to bless and keep you. You even have the time to ask about my health. I am very ,much okay. I am only busy doing the assignment you gave me to do. May the Almighty God give his wonderful graces to lead the great people he placed under your care. Amen.

Till I hear from you.

Yours Sincerely,

Ixxxx Mxxxx.

This is one for the record books! I just hope Homeland Security doesn't get hold of this or they might want royalties from the finished product! Couldn't have that happen since it will obviously be in big demand on eBay! What I'd REALLY like to see is a whole bunch of world leaders get together to perform YMCA. Now there's a thought! (And I won't say ANY more about that because I don't want to steer this in the wrong direction.

I can't wait to see the clips and hear some of the music. I'm sure it'll be a masterpiece. Are you going to try to get what you can now, before the finished product is ready?

Again, great job!

Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2007 9:58 pm

Sir, you are a master of the art, Very Happy

Excellency, I see they are looking forward to:

Have they got you mixed up with Arnie, the Governator?

Yes, I want the CD disc and the video clips sent as soon as possible via courier, hopefully, he will have a full video in Y.M.C.A costumes for me at a later date, but this stuff will do for now, gotta get something from him at this stage in case it goes tits up at any time, it will be nice to see the rehearsals even without costumes Very Happy

, I have sent him this email:

Quote:

Dear xxxxx xxxxx,

It sure is wonderful to hear from you again, I was very concerned about you after not hearing from you for so long, I even prayed for your good health in case you had fallen ill!

Well, from the contents of your email, it looks like you have been working very hard on the song, and that explains your not emailing me for some time, you are showing a lot of dedication to this task, I am extremely proud of you and all that you are doing, it's people like you that make a difference to this world!

Can you confirm what you have done so far, if I am reading it correctly, you have a voices only recording of the Y.M.C.A song on a CD disc, and you have some film of the Y.M.C.A rehearsals on a video cassette, is that correct? Are you wearing the Y.M.C.A costumes that you made on the rehearsals video?

I do know the producer would like to see video footage of you performing the "completed" Y.M.C.A song on video, apparently, it is important for him to see you all in your new costumes whilst singing the full version of the song, he also has asked if you would all be ready to travel to the US at the end of March for the recording of the song?

In the meantime, as I told you in a previous email, the producer is currently working on some music tracks in Manchester in the UK, he has asked that, for now, can you send the CD disc and the video of the rehearsals to him in the UK so he can urgently view/listen to them, if he can do that whilst he's in the UK, it will save him a lot of time when he gets back to the US, as he has to get pre-production set up, and he will not be back in the US until the end of February at the very earliest, or possibly early March, and with time being of the essence, he needs to see and hear you before he returns here, so please send the CD and video via courier to the UK as soon as possible, the address to send them to is at the bottom of this email.

With regards to the email with the screenshots that I thought I had sent to you, it seems that instead of sending it to you, I clicked the save draft button instead of the send email button, so there is nothing to worry about, it wasn't lost, I accidentally didn't send it, not that it matters now, because as you have said, you don't have a personal computer to upload the CD or video to to.

Here is the address to send the items via courier to in Manchester:

<address snipped>

When you have sent the package, please send me the tracking number so that I can pass it directly to the producer, it is very important that he knows the time of the estimated time of delivery etc, just in case he is out somewhere, he can have someone wait in for the delivery, rather than it being returned.

With regards to the passport photos and details of all those travelling to the US, you can send the passport photos by scanning them and sending them to me via email, I will print them off on photographic paper at this end and get your presidential passes made up as soon as possible.

xxxxx, please try to keep me updated more regularly, it becomes difficult if I don't hear from you for long periods of time, but at the same time, I know you are very busy preparing things and do not have access to a computer at home, keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

Gxxxxx W Bxxx.

I have also sent 6 emails to all members of the real Village People, they might reply, they might not, but it does say on their site that it is guaranteed that they will receive each email that is sent to them, although you may not get a reply, thought it would be good tomlet them know about it anyway Very Happy

Hi to all members of the Village People.

I thought this might interest you, it concerns a .

I'm a scambaiter, I bait internet fraudsters and I'm a member of the largest scambaiting forum on the internet, it's called 419eater and is based at:

http://www.419eater.com

I came across a known scammer, who had sent one of his scam emails to myself and numerous other people, one of the people he sent it to was, President Gxxxxx Bxxx, sounds crazy doesn't it, but that's exactly what he did, as a scambaiter, I thought this was too good an opportunity to miss, so I replied to the scammer, pretending to be Gxxxxx Bxxx, you can read the scambait story so far, here:

http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=99584

I have baited him in to performing the Y.M.C.A song, he is under the impression that Gxxxxx Bxxx is taking him to the US to be a big music star, and my fictional music producer, Lxxxxx Vxxxxxxxx, will be producing their records in the US. He has got a lot of people involved in making costumes similar to those that you all wear, I asked how many people he had got involved, he replied:

QUOTE

END QUOTE

As you can imagine, this is costing the scammer a fair bit of money, but more importantly, it wastes a lot of their time, and as a scambaiter, that's what we do, we usually pretend to be their victims, and then play mind games with them, with the sole purpose of wasting their time, money and resources, whilst they are being baited by us, they have less time and money to scam a real victim!

The scammer has recorded himself and the other 39 people in his choir performing the Y.M.C.A song, he is doing 2 different versions, an African version using traditional African instruments, and a normal US band version, he is sending me the vocal CD disc via courier, along with some video clips of the rehearsals, he will hopefully be sending me a full video of the performance at a later date where they should all be dressed like the Village people, can't wait to receive those and upload them on YouTube Smile

, once it is all uploaded, I will send you the link for you to watch it on YouTube.

It's great to see you guys still performing all these years later, I was only a kid when you made Y.M.C.A, keep up the good work.

Regards,

Scam Patroller.

^^^^^ Yeah, I knew about that, he went in to rehab the day after I sent him the email with the text you quoted, I was going to mention to him that Robbie had been admitted, but that the producer doesn't need Robbie there to mix the music, so it wont be a problem if he does mention it Wink

I must say a big thank you to Shiver for letting me use his safe address to have the items sent to, and for offering to convert the video to something viewable online, top man! Although he did try to sabotage me by giving the wrong postcode Laughing

, so I mailed the lad again correcting the post code, he has given me further clarification about what's on the CD and video, and says that before he sends it, he will record the full song on video with most, if not all of them wearing the costumes, some costumes are still being made Laughing

:

Quote:

Your Excellency,

I got all the emails you sent including the corrected postcode address. I have taken note of that vital correction.

You wanted me to confirm the extent of the work we have done... Yes, we have the recording of the voices of the song Y.M.C.A on CD disc, and clips of the rehearsals on a video cassette. However, we were not wearing the custumes. But, before sending the items, we will be having a crucial rehearsal where we would wear the custumes... if not all of them for this rehearsals, at least, most of them will be worn. We would try our very best to wear all if logistics would allow us to finish the unfinished ones. We are still having the camera of our friend.

Since the Producer has proposed the end of march as the time he would be ready for us, we will be working towards that time. We have to make sure we tie all the loose ends here and give him the things he want to enable him do a wonderful job. God bless him! By the time I send the CD disc and the video clips to him, I will send you the tracking numbers as you requested.

I will try my very best to keep you always informed of all the goings on. As for the passport photos, etc., we shall do as you directed as soon as possible.

May the Good Lord continue to give us good health of mind and body to do the works he has asssigned to us all; and the strength to carry on. Showers of blessing will continue to shower on you. Remain Blessed.

Yours Sincerely,

Ixxxx Mxxxx.

Your Excellency

I don't know if it will help, but here's a photo of Bush dancing with Ricky Martin:

This of course shows that Mr. Bush is a fine patron of the arts. Maybe you could tell him that you can't wait until you see the finished product, and you'd love to have the group come to the White House so you could perform with them.

(p.s. - to the best of my knowledge that really is an actual photo of the two of them performing together)
