This did come as a surprise:

Quote:

Sorry for not getting intourch with you ealier, It was as a result of an urgent meeting in respect of the transfer of the fund which took me to Abuja. All you have to do now is to recomfirm to me your Banking details, Contract details,Fullname and Amount expecting,because what i have here,from one , who claims to be your personal attoney is as follows:
Bank of America,Acc No:0064122888, RT No:2011000081, Swift code:BOFAUS3N and,beneficiary:Philip Ibe.kansas city.
I also have another account which you are the beneficiary.
Please reconfirm to me the original information to avoid divertion of your fund into a fraud account.
I call all that has happened to you in the past abolute misconduct and conspiracy on humanity and pray that ALMIGHTY ALLAH will forgive us and give us victory.
Your attoney told me that you are dead, but i doubt, so send me your phone number to prove this wrong.
Send me this information so that i can go ahead in this transaction.remember that an affidafit and nominalization of your account has to be done.
Remember that this arrangement superbs any other arrangement before now and for ever.
Best Regards.

Here are the facts.
I am not dead. I do not have an attorney named and no-one of that name is allowed to act for me. I do not live in Kansas City; I have never lived in Kansas City.
I suggest you have this arrested for fraud, and then confer with Mr James on the status of my funds. He has my details; talk to him.
I have had enough gorram trouble with your bank; don't cause me any more.

(Mr James is part of another ongoing bait)

The Lad's doubts don't count for much:

I have seen your mail, but i want to let you know that the most important thing is for you to reconfirm to me your Banking Details where you fund will be transfered into and your working telephone number to convince me that you are alive,because Mr Philip said that you are dead,all the fund have been processed and witing for transfer, so you need to act fast so that your fund will no be sent to the Kansas city USA.
I awit your reply soon.

So I had to slap him:

The fact that I am writing back to you should be proof that I am alive! Holy Mother of God and all her little nephews, do you think I'm a gorram zombie?
I don't have a working phone number as I can't use telephones. I've explained that (in detail) to you people before. As I told you last time, ASK MR JAMES! He has my details!
One last thing - insist that I'm dead - isn't it down to him to prove that? Didn't it ever occur to you clowns to ask for a death certificate?

I've had Lads introduce people trying to claim my funds, but being killed off is new!

It is perfectly logical to ask for a telephone number as proof that a guy is indeed not dead.

Yes, a telephone number or a tattoo is proof enough to show that one is not dead.
