This is from my older bait that occurred during the middle of November. I persuaded Mr. W*sdom that I had $250,000 in cash in a black duffel bag for Nigerian hired mercanaries he was going to provide, and I was waiting for him in the lobby of a particular hotel in Cotonou. After taking a seven hour bus ride from Nigeria to Benin with four of his "best mercanaries", he arrived at the hotel to find no one waiting for him.

Not only that, but it was unfortunate that he didn't speak French. The local populace apparently took advantage of his non-linguist ass and ripped him off. This e-mail arrived the day after his arrival, when he made haste and took a seven hour bus ride back to Lagos.

Sir,
I am not happy about this situation.
Michael, Captain Brain James and you have totally disapointed me. I am not that much concerned of the money I spent both in the Hotels, transportation for four men including mine but the insult I received from the motocyclist men who keep taking us from one place to another collecting more than what they are supposed to charge us due to we speak not their language but English.this made our communication with them became zero.
The wosrt of it all is this, I and the men were in the hotel Novotel Orisha Cotonou hotel this 10:30am and work direct to the reception where we saw a man and a lady at the counter and I personally asked of ******** room number and I was told that there is no one like that after they must hyave checked the list of those that checked in the hotel via their computer.You can see the important of phone communication?you dont espect me to be on computer always besides it is pay for but I have my phone in my pocket for easy communication but you never called even ones rather I keep calling you to no avail.this is not how business is done.Again you may not understand the implication you caused me taking those men from Nigeria to Cotonou which they thought I lied them and they are very much angry with me.
I and the men are on our way,thank you for the whole thing. I will get back to Michael and Captain James Brain of our encounters and ask them never to send me such message again.

Well, that's just silly. Of course, a man of your stature would not be caught dead checking into a Benin hotel under your real name. You were checked into room 219 under a nom de guerre. If mugu paid more attention to detail, he would have asked for your check-in name.

Well done Dupes....

Nothing better than an angry & disappointed mugu on a wild goose chase. Keep him moving along..... Laughing

mercanaries

They sit on rocks singing, enticing highly trained underwater budgies to their deaths.

Have you asked for copies of his receipts? You might offer to re-imburse him.

The funny thing about this is he went on another safari from Lagos to Abuja a week later with the same results. A week after that, he went to a popular Lagos nightclub (with an expensive cover charge) expecting to meet up there, again with the same results. Then I never heard from him again.

Well done! Laughing

Of course you wrote to him that he was lying and you were in fact there, and demanded a prove of his honesty? Wink
