After pestering Mr. Usman for the certificate of approval for my fund he sent me a rather insulting document
Usman
Ted D. R00sevelt (me)
Macharthy, Global Ass Security Company
Dear Ted D. R00sevelt,
This is the approval documents of your fund valued $25,000.000.00.
Meanwhile,be adviced to send a scan copy of your international passport information page to the Global Asset Security Company for your travel visa.
Regards,
Dr sh4msudd33n usman
Honourable Minister of Finance
Federal Repulic of Nigeria.
Mr Usman, Sir:
You make a very big insult to me. On first certificate you wrote my country's name as "United State of America." We are the "United States of America!" We are not one state. We are many states. 50 states, I think. We are a great country and a great military power.You insult us by saying we are only one state. I fought for my country in the battle of San Juan Hill and I spoke out for my country from the bully pulpit. How dare you say we are only one state?
Ted D. R00sevelt
From Mrs. Macharthy of the Global Assurance Security Company in Sierra Leone (which I also refer to as the Global Ass Security Company in my e-mails):
Dear Sir,
The Honourable Minister of Finance is not somebody you can talk to like that,you have to becareful because everybody do make mistakes and am sure it will be rectified immediately.
The payment of your fund can be scheduled for anytime next week,it depends on how soon you present all the requested documents and the scan copy of your international passport photo page for your visa,while you will be sent your hotel reservation details accordingly.
Hope to read from you soonest with all the requested documents
Truly Yours,
Mrs Mariam Macharthy
Publicity Secetary.
Gl0bal 4sset Security C0mpany
Freetown,Sierra Leone.
So, how is this going to play out? Are they really going to try to get me tp come to Sierra Leonne as Ted D. R00sevelt said he would? Or are they trying to call my bluff? |

Nice document, but never correct a lads mistake. Rather than slap him over the mistake you should have praised him. |

^^The more mistakes lads make in emails and documents they send out the more chance of a real victim twigging that the whole things a con. So the crappier the lads stuff, the more we praise it. If it looks excellent then we criticize it to the lad as looking dodgy and fake. |

With regards to your question, he's probably calling your bluff. In my experience, lotto lads dont really want you to travel. You should go along with it, and if he really will recieve you in Sierra Leone, reward him with a long wait... |

Bunnyrabbit, if you haven't signed up for a mentor yet you should. As Rodus pointed out the last thing you want to do is give the lads tips on how to make their documents better looking. Good job on writing "fake" on the document before posting it though.
I do rather like the "yours truthfully" across the bottom of the document however. |

I understand and I agree in general. But I'm sure this was just a typo on his part rather than a real mistake. In other words, he wouldn't have been likely to repeat this particular mistake. I would not have corrected a substantive error for the reason you mention.
With regard to a mentor, I'd really rather go it alone for a while but I will consider it. |

^^ I kinda doubt it was an accident, as he has "State" instead of "States" on the document twice ("United State Dollar").
Having a mentor doesn't mean that you've got someone looking over your shoulder every minute of every bait. You might want to reconsider getting one. |

Please listen to the advice already given. Educating lads on their grammar is a bad thing. I don't know where you are from, but if I was from the united state of america that phrase would set alarm bells ringing and hopefully prevent me from falling victim to these scumbags. We praise their rubbish and pillory their good stuff, which luckily is fairly rare.
This is not a war of intellect. It is a war of attrition. Which you will no doubt realise in time if you stick around. Which I hope you do. |

Yes, it's a war of attrition. But do not rule out the intellect, just do not let them know about it. And also listen to what people say here in the forum.
I haven't really started baiting myself. I have a mentor tho, and i hope that i will finish a successfull bait in the near future. |

I see "United State Of America" all the time on lad documents. It's not a typo. . . and shouldn't be corrected. |

I'm going to say this once and then I am going to let it go.
I agree that mistakes in general should not be corrected. I jumped on this one because I thought surely it was a typo and I could waste his time having him re-do it. Now, from all your posts, I believe it was not a typo and I will not correct his mistake again. Gee whiz, back off a little, OK? (just kidding) |

Hi Bunny, and welcome to the baitery.
Don't feel too bad about that little "educating the lads" mistake-thing. Lots of us have done it, sometimes unintentionally, which is (I think) how that rule evolved into being. You did so with the intention of making your lad re-do an entire lousy document, which is a good thing. I'm pretty sure a sin of this magnitude is forgiveable. Tell ya what - just buy me a beer and we'll call it even!
You did right by writing "fake" all over it too, which is something I forget on a regular basis around here! As well, you didn't critique your lad for writing "original copy" on what is obviously not an original copy, nor did you laugh at him for the three "approved" stamps (when every real banker knows at least 4 are needed!) on the page or any other spelling/grammar error.
The idea is to name invented errors that any banker should know about, like how the approved stamp needs to be in red (yep - International Banking In Foreign Currencies Act of 1974, enacted by the seven signatories of the IABB) or how the corporate seal must be laid under (not over) the lousy signature subject to the United Nations Resolution C41 Section 9 regarding use of sealed signatures on all bank documents issued to out-of-country beneficiaries... and stuff. It's okay to educate your scammer, as long as it a) wastes their time and b) doesn't make them any more believeable. |

Thanks, Obi. I needed the encouragement. It's just that it seemed everyone was jumping on me. Yes, I did read quite a few threads before posting, which is how I knew to write "fake."
BTW -- Nobody's comented on my baiter name "Ted D. Roosevelt." Just one of my many alter egos. |

I would just like to mention something. Every other forum I've ever seen in the countless hours I've spent on the net, there have been flame wars, nasty comments, and general hatred all over the place. This is the first one I've seen that any negative statement is done in jest, or is constructive criticism. I gotta say, I'm proud to be a part of it. I guess all of us having one mind put to a common goal is the main reason, but this politeness is just unheard of. Give yourselves a round of applause people, you deserve it. |

I would like to add to Favre4ever's comment,
It is such a refreshing change to be in a forum where the people are
so supportive and good natured.
good on y'all.... |

I agree. No serious problems on my end. I just think a few people got a little carried away in this thread and there was probably one correction too many directed my way and that ruffled my feathers a little. Anyway, your points are well taken and I still have this guy's Sierra Leone alter ego on the hook. I've send him three (bogus) passport scans so far. Too bad his computer is so antiquated that he can't view the files. |

Welcome Bunnyrabbit.
We all make the odd mistake and believe me, we all get jumped upon at sometime. It is never meant to be anything other than constructive though. It take a bit of time to get used to some peoples sense of humour.
Anyway, I need to put you straight on one thing........
Bunnyrabbits do not have feathers!
Happy baiting. |

^^^ what? but the bunny rabbit I asked my lad for does....
Sounds like you have everything sorted Bunnyrabbit. Welcome to Eater. you are doing a good job so far. Like others said you may want to sign up for a mentor that way you can just have someone you can always turn to for answers, questions, support, etc.... I know I have pmed the heck out of 7/9 and he still loves me
Anyways good luck, don't be afraid to ask questions, have fun, and waste some lad time. |
