My first real bait with trophies
This is my first real long bait, lasting two months,
from August 16, 2007 to October 18, 2007.
I was able to extract several trophies from the lad.
He appears to have an excellent command of English.
Received the first letter from a friend who hosts an educational website.

Shortened text

I received a lot of good advice from the more experienced baiters, thank you.
Since this was my first, I tried to be conservative in requests to avoid scaring
the lad off.
I changed my bait name in the text below but the graphics show it unchanged.
I also shortened some of the repetitive text in the lad letters.

Cast:
Lads:
Dr. Usman Shamshudeen, Deputy Governor of Bank and the main man
James Bacar, Senate Committee Senior Cashier
David Mark, Senator

Baiter:
William Johnson, American cowboy

First letter received, usual "lets rip off somebody" letter:

Dear Dr. Usman Shamshudeen;

Thank you for your reply and photograph.
I am really interested in completing this transaction.

I live and work as a cowboy on a cattle ranch located in rural eastern
California, which has no modular or cellular telephone connection. The nearest
town of Polecat is 40 miles away. Polecat has a library with an Internet
connection and I am using it to contact you. I only come into the town once
every few days for supplies or to drop off cattle for shipment to the eastern stockyards.

In answer to your request, I have provided the following information:

Full name: William Hoppy Johnson
Home Address: Bar 20 Ranch, California, 90210
Cell Phone Number: None, no cell phone connection is available here

Since our ranch sometimes buys or sells cattle to Mexico,
I sent in an application to renew my passport in June.
The new United States has enacted new security regulations causing the
government to take up to 3 months to renew passports.
I will send you a copy when it arrives.

Dear Mr. James Bacar,

I have to confess something. I have been a cowboy all my life and have done some
pretty bad things. I am currently on parole for cattle rustling (stealing). Two
years ago, while working on a ranch in Crawford, Texas, I stole some cattle from
the ranch and sold them to a Mexican buyer. I was caught, sentenced to 1 year in
jail, and released on parole. I am currently working at a cattle ranch located
in California. Most ranches would not hire a convicted cattle rustler but the
Bar-20 is owned by an uncle.

A condition of my parole is that I have to report any of my financial dealings
of over $1000 to my state parole officer. The state has a required form which
must be filled out by the recipient for me to submit to my parole officer and to
Western Union.

Please fill out the attached form and return it to me.

He looked at the picture and told me it was "PHOTO SHOPPED".

Do you know what "photo shopped" means?

Is he saying I bought the picture somewhere?

That sounds kind of silly being where I am located at a remote ranch and near a
small town.

I have not told him your name because of our confidentiality, just that you are

Pay to: Company name: Mr. James Bacar Country: Nigeria
Sender: Name: William Johnson Address: Bar-20 Ranch, Bernardino, California, USA
MTCN number: 1123581312 Text question: Day Text answer: Night

Please inform Mr. James Bacar, as I have lost his email address, due to a ranch accident.
I have also lost some of our emails so I used the original Western Union text questions.

The last 40 miles of the entry road to the ranch is very bad and your couriers
would need 4-wheel drive vehicles or horses to reach me at the ranch.
I would recommend that any couriers arrange to meet me in the nearest large
city, Los Angeles, California, which is 200 miles from the ranch.

When can I expect to hear from the couriers?

DEAR MR WILLIAM JOHNSON,

GOOD DAY, I RECIEVED THE PAYMENT INFORMATION THAT YOU SENT TO MY DESK AND I HAVE
FORWARD IT TO THE OFFICE OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE DEPARTMENT THIS MORNING.

FURTHERMORE, I WAS JUST INFORMED BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE DEPARTMENT THAT THEIR
CASHIER OFFICER, MR JAMES BACAR WENT TO THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE THIS MORNING TO
PICK UP THE $1,000USD WHICH YOU SAID YOU HAVE SENT AND THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE
MADE HIM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE MTCN CONTROL NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH AND I AM VERY
SURPRISE WHEN I HEARD THAT FROM THE SENATE PRESIDENT, SENATOR DAVID MARK.

PLEASE I AM PLEADING WITH YOU THAT YOU SHOULD PLEASE GO BACK TO THE WESTERN
UNION OFFICE WHICH YOU SENT THE PAYMENT OR YOU SHOULD CROSSCHECK THE WESTERN
UNION RECIEPT THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU AND RE-CONFIRM THE MTCN NUMBER THAT YOU
FORWARD TO MY DESK BECAUSE.

Dear Dr. Usman Shamshudeen;

I did go into Bernardino today and talked to the Western Union manager today.

He told me that the customer has to go physically to the Western Union office to
pick up the money.

They do not put MTCN numbers or transfers on the Internet any more because of hackers.
