Meanwhile, "Clueless Frank" reports back to Dr. Vladimir, and it seems our mugu has finally lined up a bank account:

Quote:

DEAR DR VLADIMIR
SORRY FOR NOT REPLYING TO YOUR MAIL IN TIME IS DUE TO SOME CIRCUMTANCE BEYOND MY CONTROL WHICH IAM THANKING GOD NOW THAT I CAN ABLE TO GO OUT OF IT. WELL BELOW IS MY BANK INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED. THANKS AND I HOPE TO SEE A FAVOURABLE RESPONED FROM YOU.

FRANK

BANQUE INTERNATIONALE DE L' AFRIQUE DE L' QUEST(BIAO
BANK)ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE WEST AFRICA.
BANK NAME:UMELO OTUSOROCHI
ACCOUNT NAME:2835060385447
S/C:BIAO CI AB
ADDRESS:07 BP 555 ABIDJAN 07

To which I replied:

Quote:

Dear Frank:

Who is Umelo Otusorochi? The Bible Society does not have him on record as being qualified to receive monies. What his relationship to digging the wells and building the orphanage?

Please understand that before we can spend God's money we have to know the people to whom we are sending the money. Umelo will have to provide us with a passport or other form of identification. We have to certify Umelo as a Bishop in the Bible Society in order for him to receive money. Is Umelo a Christian? We can only deal with Christians and not Muslims.

Additionally, we will need to know the name of the construction company that will be digging the wells and building the orphanage. The construction company will have to give us an invoice for their services so we can send the money. Have the construction company send my an invoice and the blueprints for the orphanage. I have to make sure that #10 nails are used throughout and that new wood (no used or recycled wood) is used. Any local wood will do, and we prefer hardwoods.

The $25,000 is ready to be transferred when you meet these usual and necessary conditions of the Bible Society.

I remain yours in Christ Jesus,

Dr. Vladimir

I'm getting mixed results.

One lad who was either too stupid (or perhaps was cleverer than the average mugu) pointed out I'd sent an email to the wrong person.

A couple have bought it and I'm having some fun.

And then I got this one -

From: Morgan Fofana <[email protected]>
To: Ivan Goodhead

Dear BadHead,

MAY GOD PUNISH YOUR ASS.

ABUCHI.

I can't imagine how many mugus have suddenly getting misent emails Laughing

I've already sent out a couple, got a bite already - apparently it costs US$500 to open a bank account in Nigeria! Amazing!

If you listen closely, you may hear the slapping *slap**slap*

Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 9:29 am

Today I got this:

Quote:

PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THE BLACK AXE HAS BEEN ASIGNED ON TO YOU FOR SPIRITUAL
TORTURE WHICH COMENCES VERY SHORTLY AS WE WAIT FOR YOUR PAYMENT SLIP OF $25,000.00.
WE HEREBY NOTIFY YOU ALSO THAT OUR COUNT DOWN OF THE STIPULATED 21 DAYS FOR YOUR
DEATH DAYS HAS BEGUN TODAY AND WE SHALL APPLY THE METHOD OF SPIRITUAL TORTURE ON
YOU BEGINING ON THE 20th DAY OF THIS INFORMATION WHICH FAILURE TO CONFIRM YOUR
PAYMENT BEFORE THIS DATE SHALL ATTRACT THE SWORD FROM THE INNER CIRCLE TO HANG
ON YOUR NECK. WE SHAL NOT TALK MORE ON THIS ANY LONGER.
GOOD BYE.
HIGH PRIEST,
BLACK AXE OF THE INNER LODGE.

This lad really makes my day Laughing

Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 10:23 am

Tae, whats your lads name/email? He seems like the perfect applicant to set up the Nigerian chapter of my cult Very Happy

Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 10:55 am

Tae and J Dog, you should combine your two baits. It would be an epic battle between God and Satan and answer the age-old question: is there more money in Heaven or in Hell?

Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 1:31 pm

Tae, SM has a good idea. If you want, I shall serve as Rev. E. Dwayne Looper, Canada's leading demonologist and exorcist now living in Elco, Nevada. You can say that you've hired me to break the power of the black axe over you in Jesus' name.

I really do know quite a bit of esoterica and Christian demonology. PM me if you need Looper's services. I can play this straight or in a typically Looper fashion as I did with Dr. Linus Momoh.

Clueless Frank has brought in outside help. The new guyman has 1) figured out that he is supposed to be Bro. Miguel, and 2) used one of our tactics of having someone die to explain their absence. I think this is probably "UMELO OTUSOROCHI" the a/c holder:

Quote:

DEAR DR. VLADAMIR:

THIS IS BROTHER MIGUEL. FRANK HAD TO GO HOME. HIS MOTHER IS DIED AFTER BEING SICK SOMETIME. WELL UMELO OTUSOROCHI IS OUR BISHOP. HE IS NOT OF BIBLE SOCIETY BUT CETRIFY HIM PLEASE. SO HE CAN RECEVE THE $25.000 INTO HIS A/C:

MEN FROM OUR VILLAGE IS BUILDING AND SO NO COMPANY OF FOMRAL CONSTRUCTION IS HIRED. WE WILL USE THE RIGHT NAILTIPE AND NEW WOOD WILL BE CUT OUTSIDE. WE DESPERATLY NEED THE MONEY TODAY TO AQCUAERE TOOL AND SUPPLY FOR THE WORKERS AND FEED THEM OR THEY WILL GO HOME. THE WELLS IS DUG ALREADY AND WE OWE THE DIGGERS PLUS THE PUMPS TO PAY FOR THEM WE HAVE. THE CHILDREN IS HUNGRY. THEY CRY FOR FOOD ALL THE DAY. PLEASE SIR I BEG DONT MAKE THE DETALES HARD FOR US OR THE CHILDREN GO ON STARVE. IT WILL BE BEST IF THE MONEY IS SENT TODAY AND SEND ME THE DEPOSIT NUMBER AT ONCE SO I CAN DO ALL YOU SAY SIR YOU ARE A SAINT TO HELP.

GODS BLESSINGS,

BROTHER MIGUEL

Never one to not try an idea, I revived an old and fairly useless mugu.

Just a missent Email, but one with Wuxfer numbers in it.

I got back the most incomprehensible scrawl (all caps of course) with absolutely no relevance to the relevant 'transaction'.

My guess is that 'junior' is doing a bit of freelancing.

Tomorrow, when I get back from Geneva, 'junior' is going to get an inadvertant copy of an exhultant Email from me saying that the bank accepted the $100 notes ... or should they be dodgy EUR 300 notes ...

Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 4:20 pm

You are truly great. For simplicity, I copied & pasted your comments to a mugu(changed the names). He took the bait & now I'm having loads of fun. I'll be looking out for your next lesson. Thanks J Dog

I've had another lad decide to get smart and create his own "Father Domesticus" yahoo account:

Quote:

Dr. Erik Cartemann

Your message of friday, 06/11/04 refers noting that you onbehalf of your company as the executive Director have arranged to send your donation to Namibia for our completion of the Hospital project via Western Union noting your request for the receiver name.

We are really grateful to your arrangement and your donation in lieu of our project. We are sorry for our late reply to your message.

Consequently, the project Managers after receiving this message have resolved that you send the sum to our offshore account for their receipt due to some logistic reasons and to reduce the risk of cash associated problems in Namibia presently.In lieu of this, enclosed is the Receiving account for your Donations

BANK NAME: BARCLAYS BANK PLC
ADDRESS : 168, FENCHURCH STREET, LONDON ELE PHP
SWIFT CODE: XXXXXXXXX
CR. TO: FINANCIAL BANK
SWIFT: XXXXXXXXX
A/C NO: XXXXXXXXX
BENEF: SALICI SARL

DO CONFIRM TO ME VIA THIS MAIL ADDRESS AS SOON AS YOU SEND THE DONATION.

We look forward to your sincere donation while thanking you for your assistance in this regard

Yours

Father Domesticus

Nuh-uh. This mugu ain't getting it that easily. Vandelay Industries has an exclusive business relationship with Western Union, and that is the only way this money will be travelling.

Don't you just love it how they try to take over, even when they are the ones supposedly receiving a "donation"?

It always cracks me up to see them giving orders and lying through their teeth.

The smart lads always create an e-mail account using the name of the person to who you sent the e-mail as your lad has done here. I once offered $97,000 in an accidentally sent e-mail and I had a lad reply within 30 minutes with a proper e-mail address. I think he must have shat his pants when he read the offer. He also understood that the "mistake" would be discovered because he wanted the transfer asap.

One of the beautiful things about the Accidentally Sent E-Mail Trick is that it does not require phone calls and in fact the lads fear the use of a phone because it would expose them as the wrong person. They know that they do not have the necessary details and have no idea what the deal is about or what the real receipent sounds like on the phone. So this keeps them and you away from phones.

You can collapse this type of bait very quickly by telling them you want to speak with them on the phone or by asking very specific questions that the real receipient should know.

I have replied to several more 419 e-mails using this tactic with good results. I am thinking through a plan whereby I can get a lad to travel to get the money. The plan has to be set up in such a way that someone else can plausibly give him the money. If it is, say, $5,000 and a nun will meet him outside of the German Embassy in Accra that might work to get a lad to travel from Lagos. I am thinking that the nun has never seen him and that he will send a picture and she will send hers. I can say that we have to give him cash because the Bible Society prefers to pay in cash so that corrupt local banking officials won't find out about the money.

I also liked BlackBread's variation where a Wuxfer was incorporated into the reply. Now that was a wicked twist that I will have to use! We can also send crashme links or that screaming "Hey, everybody I'm looking at gayporn" link.

Funny you should mention this now, I was just in the middle of a reply to another mugu who is really resisting sending me a copy of his associate's passport (required by WU for 'security' reasons) and has been suggesting direct transfer.
So I was about to use this to hopefully change his mind:

Quote:

Dear Father,

My apologies, I was caught up in some business today.

As much as I would like to be able to directly wire the money to your
bank account, I'm afraid my company has an exclusive business
arrangement with Western Union.

In short, we cannot use any other method for sending the money for your
hospital. I'm sure a good man like you will understand the problem here.

So if you could please forward on a copy of Mr Andrew's passport as we
agreed, I can get the money to you swiftly.

Another matter: when I spoke to you on the telephone last month, I
recall you had mentioned that you had need of some new computer
equipment. Do you still require any? My business currently has a surplus
of excess stock.

Will you be available at any time in the next couple of days? I may
call you to sort out this Western Union business if we cannot resolve it
via email.

Regards,

Dr. Erik.

Saying "the next couple of days" gives him an out, allows him to say "no, don't call, I am away from my phone".

Hopefully the rest of it will convince him to stop screwing me around Wink

One of my mugus I tried this on can't keep in character, I keep telling him he is Father <name withheld>'s new assistant (for God's Sake!), and he'll catch on for about one email then keep slipping back to some scam about being the only son of a rich dead man. I think he needs a good slapping, even as a kindly benefactor, I can only ignore his stupidity so long.

I might get a daily death threat from my lad, today he wrote this:

Quote:

This is to notify you that the inner circle of the Satanic world has entered it's day three for your 21 days ultimatum to pay the $25,000.00 into the account already given to you or die a mysterious date on or before that date.
You are hereby warned the third time that failure to comply with this directive before the expiration of 21 days Ultimatum,you body will picked on the road side or die in your sleep within these few days.
Please have a look at the picture and consider your save either dead or missing from this planet.
You are hereby notified that priests of the black axe has been asigned to monitor your movements and have our mission (your death) accomplished .
Waiting for your payment slip.
Please note that you may chose to pay the money twice or once as the case may be. all for your safety.
Bye.

I've never had such a creative mugu!

Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2004 10:05 am

Are you sure it is a mugu?

I must say though that 21 days is very reasonable. If you get half the sum by about day 16 he might be willing to negotiate an extension...

Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2004 1:55 pm

Looper comes to the vexed doctor's defense w/a fairly serious letter to the Satanists. The tenor of this letter is a probe to test their seriousness. Depending upon how they reply, I will play my next shot hard or soft. Their letters want to be menacing, and yet like most Satanists, they come across as simply being goofy. Still, Looper will play along in hopes of seeing them invoke some better stuff than the curse of the black axe. Personally, had I been them I would have opened with the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse and skipped a mere axe, but then Looper always likes to overdo things whenever possible:

Quote:

Attn: Rev.Father Amarena

I am the Reverend E. Dwayne Looper. I have been contacted by Dr. Wanna Be Apfelstrudel who tells me you are threatening to kill him by the curse of the black axe within 21 days unless he pays you the sum of $25,000, which monies, I would hasten to note, were intended to dig wells and build an orphanage.

I am writing to tell you several things and you must listen in the name of Jesus Christ. First, you must know that I have been battling and defeating Satan and his demons for four decades. I have battled the Jinn, the Succubus, Persian devils, Indian monsters, and all other forms of Evil manifest. I have battled them in the name of Jesus Christ and now I come against you in the name of Jesus Christ. I have battled and broken the curse of the black axe many times and I must say that you are a weak magician if that is the worst spell you can perform.

1) In the name of Jesus Christ I break all of the silver cords and laylines on your curse.

2) I speak the sacred, unspeakable name of G-d over you and your curse and have asked G-d to return your curse to you sevenfold.

3) In the name of Jesus, I have summoned the Archangel Gabriel to bring sickness and death upon you and your house unless you repent of your
curse upon Dr. Wanna Be Apfelstrudel.

4) I loose nine chained Devils and Demons from the Pit of Hell and Ghenna and give them permission to attack you and your house while you sleep -- unless you repent of your curse upon Dr. Wanna Be Apfelstrudel. I know the names of these Devils and Demons for I bound them to Hell and they are bound and loosed at my command in the name of Jesus.

5) I have summoned Rab-Amat, the Tokoloshe King and his legions of tokoloshes to attack you and your house with fire and disease -- unless you repent of your
curse upon Dr. Wanna Be Apfelstrudel.

6) I have called upon the spirit of the Prophet Elisha to burn you and your village with fire from heaven unless you repent of your
curse upon Dr. Wanna Be Apfelstrudel.

7) I command you in the name of Jesus to renounce Satan and his works and to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Cool

The Mark of the Beast will be placed upon you and your house unless you repent of your curse upon Dr. Wanna Be Apfelstrudel. (smiley face not in the original text)

9) I plead the Blood of Jesus over myself and Dr. Wanna Be Apfelstrudel.

These things I say will come to pass shortly. You have one chance -- and one chance only -- to write to me and repent of your sins in the name of Jesus.

IXOYE,

Reverend E. Dwayne Looper
"And they overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony."

I've got this one today:

The Holy Servant,

Good to hear that the holy trip is successful, holy animals survived. I am safe and on a
spiritual trip of elevation.

All for the greater knowledge and powers.

Tell Grand Master Bonham, that powers and knowledge are being elevated to a great height,
which will all be to our benefit on my completion.

The Transfer should be made into this account and copy of the bank transfer slip has to be
forwarded to me via this email.

The Bank info is below:

Dearest Bro. Harry...

Good to hear back from you. I trust your travels have been well? I remember your going away party. A good time was had by all! Now I know why they call you "Happy Time" Harry!

Anyway, Father Branson and myself are ready to transfer the $52,000 to you for the new Multi-Purpose facility for St. Igniggnokt's orphanage there. You know the procedures, but to refresh:

1) We need you to open a bank account to transfer the construction funds into. After the Johannesburg fiasco, we can no longer do wire transfers, unfortunately.

2) We will need a copy of your current church ID

3) As you've been with us for a while, we do not need to cover Sections 3, 4, and 5 of the church financials statement.

As soon as you reply with the information, we can begin transferring the fund. I'm excited about what Jesus is going to do in the new facility!

Yours in Christ,
