Well I realize that this is will be mainly audio, but since returning north of the border I have stepped up my baiting intensity and my lads have been less than appreciative.

The scene: Standard trunk box scam in Ghana on-going since April. Lads sister has died, he's changed his barrister and asked me for my home equity line of credit. None of his modalities have worked.

As luck would have it, my trunk box has made it to New York and is ready for delivery. One, P4u1 D1cks0n, is the contact in NYC.

To mix things up this morning, I threw in a looming chop from my barrister account. The following was received at 10:35 AM my time:

Quote:

DEAR FRIEND,
I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE CHARACTERS YOU ARE DEALING WITH ARE NO LESS THAN CRIMINALS, FRAUDSTERS AND SCAM ARTISTS OF THE LOWEST VARIETY. THEY SEEK TO CHOP YOUR DOLLARS AND MAYBE WORSE. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. THEY WISH TO MEET YOU AT YOUR HOUSE AND KIDNAP YOUR DOLLARS. WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY WILL DO. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

IF YOU SEEK FURTHER ASSISTANCE REGARDING THE ORIGIN, LOCATION AND REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR FUNDS IN AFRICA, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT THIS MAIL.

BEST REGARDS,
BARRISTER
ATTORNEY-AT-LAW
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA

After some jibber jabber with the lads back in Africa heard here:

Reign-in-Africa

The contact in NYC called me. Then, while we were on, the barrister in Africa calls him! After some negotiating, the lad finally invites me to NYC and I am rushing to the airport at this moment.

My call with the NYC lad:

Going-back-to-Africa

He claims he's going back to Africa and doesnt want to be part of the transaction any more!

Barrister calls back. Too late I'm going to NYC:

NEW-YORK-CITY!!!!!!

Great work! Wink

On their way to being bent completely out of shape. Mr. Green

Lads are really panicking now as I race to the airport in Billings.

And I didn't even grow a mustache!

Going to Mustache City

Now the contact in NYC calls back:

fist-full-of-dollars

I've given the lad my MTCN and left only a sliver of time before I get on the plane for him to realize that somehow he got the MTCN wrong and that he's go no money before I go to NYC, BABY!

Lad calls me from inside the Western Union to tell me that the MTCN is wrong and that the lady at the MTCN is wrong.

I was thinking tonight about what turn to take in New York City and decided that I would send my lad to a web cam in Times Square.

The 46th and Broadway web cam is close up and has a bank of pay phones where I can tell Paul to meet me.

http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/index.php?cam=fridays
Cam 4

My flight gets in at 740 AM Eastern Time. I'll try to get him to the cam by 9:00 AM lastest.

I'll update here as I expect to have him on the go as soon as I get off the tarmac since it was made clear he will not be meeting me directly at the airport.

If anyone has a better suggestion for the web cam location, please let me know.

I love the enthusiasm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 9:33 am

9AM EST is 14:00 BST, 15:00 CET by my calculations, and I'll be in bed, please post web cams shots for posterity.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:05 pm

NOOOOOO make it later......at say like 1:30 p.m. and I'll go there!!! And see if I can see your Mugu and get some photos and stuff. Come on - - it's time's square! Please......PLEASE!!!!! I can even leave something somewhere or drop something or something (we'd have to be careful with that since people are paranoid of terrorists - -but could you imagine - I am in Times Square - by your lad - - and I can be on a phone with you guys - telling you things I see - people around - you can describe those to the lad.....And then frustrate the hell out of him!)

One hour to go, I'm looking forward to it!

Excellent meeting place, will he be wearing anything distinctive?

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:32 pm

Well, Paul has his phone off. Maybe he's getting cold feet. I just called the Barrister in Ghana to light a fire under the crew and get them to realize I'm in New York City.

Update when I reach the lad in NYC.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:40 pm

Couple of dodgy looking blokes there now, red shirt and orange shirt. Could they be early?

edit: nope, they've buggered off.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:43 pm

Is it me or are we all slowing the feed down?

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:44 pm

^^Yeah, that can be a real problem with these webcam meets. The feed is crawling.

Baiting Guru Joined: 19 Apr 2007 Posts: 3123

You can enlarge it... Incase you didn't know!

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:46 pm

Don't rush to the feed yet. This grab-ass might still be in bed unless his barrister phone is on and he's been woken up.

The barrister tried to back track and claim problems with the consignment. Now he can't get his NYC contact out of bed to get to a meeting.

Getting Cold feet?

Pathetic.

Bloody brilliant... Still, Eliza might have time to get there.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:57 pm

Guy in the red hat was there 10m ago.

Baiting Guru Joined: 19 Apr 2007 Posts: 3123

The one to the left?

EDIT:Gone now

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:01 pm

Y, he appeared to wave his hat to the camera about a minute ago.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:02 pm

Its not the lad. He's not on his way yet. He's brushing his teeth, maybe.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:03 pm

Sorry, getting overwhelmed with "what's baiting?" questions by half the office looking over my shoulder.

There is a guy at the intersection side of the sidewalk just leaning on mailboxes....

Edit: Im betting its this guy...he keeps waving to the camera...has a cowboy type hat on (or a safari hat?!? Wink

)

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:08 pm

@Freya, I've been watching him too

EDIT: I just noticed it's TGI Fridays... I ate at that place when I went to NYC 3 months ago! Very Happy

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:11 pm

Perhap's he's maximising his trip by mailing some snail mail scam letters?

Wannabe Baiter Joined: 09 Jul 2007 Posts: 87

Too bad you cant call him and tell him youre stuck in mid town manhattan traffic

EDIT: Man, the guy I was watching waited only FIVE minutes after the designated time to take off. If it was him, I'd slap him hard knowing how traffic in the city is at this time of day from the airport!
