David Akinbulu (as the Lad) and Armitage shanks (as The baiter) start in:

O Captain, My captain.

How I made my lad hand-write me a two page letter of apology.

Please note: this goes on a bit. I have cut it down, getting rid of most of the mundane parts, but I think it ends brilliantly. If you read nothing else if it, scroll to the bottom and work backwards.

The letter of apology is well worth a read.

Thank you for that wonderful call you made to my daughter for her 6th birthday. She was so proud to speak to her new uncle in Africa! You made our family very happy in this troubled time.

How are things coming along with the anti-laundering certificate from Togo? I sent barrister Mbaro the payment for his fees and certificate dues yesterday. The last Western Union installment was $800, so the $5000 he said were necessary are complete now. I'll be expecting the first payment of $500,000 to our joint account by next week. The jerks at my bank are really going to be surprised about all that money.

Is the new cell phone I sent you working well? I certainly hope so.

With all the best wishes for your family,

Armitage Shanks

From: Armitage Shanks
To: David

Hi David,

I am sorry for my delay in reply. As you know I cannot access anything on weekends so please forgive me. I am doing my best to help you.

I am preparing transactions with my bank for money to send to you, but I would like you to help me out a bit more if you could?

Will you help me feel more safe and secure about this transaction?

While I believe you are honest and legitimate, and I believe you are telling me the truth, I would feel happier and safer if you could prove to me that you are really in the country of Azerbaijan.

I would like to see a photo of you near a famous and well known land mark in Azerbaijan, this way I know you really are there. In that photo I would like you to be holding a sign saying "Titan Mynuts"

This would make me happy and more confident in the transaction, and I might even include a little extra money for you to buy yourself an iPod or mobile phone or some such item.

Please do this for me, and I will be sending your money shortly,

Best Regards,

Armitage

I have wonderful news for you!

You no longer have to do the questions through that website if you do not want to! I have contacted western union many times, and have been able to get from them a complete list of the quesions!

So, if you like, I can send you these quesions, then you can simply fill them out and send them back to me!

Then you no longer have to use that ridiculous website! Isn't this the most wonderful news?

Would you like to do this? If so, I will send the questions in my next email

Firstly you did not call me "Captain" in your last email. I am annoyed by that, so from now on you must say "O Captain, my Captain" at the beginning of each email.

Secondly, I will go and talk to my bank now and see how possible it is to send you money with no security. I hope to be able to send you some soon, but I will let you know a bit later on.

Thankyou for repying to me and I hope to be able to help you soon.

For the third time david, the words are "O Captain, my Captain" stop getting it wrong.

David, I went to www.paypal.com and it all seems rather complex. I do not like to sign up to things i do not understand. please explain it to me and how i am to give you money into it.

best regards

Subject. I am sorry

Look David,

I'm afraid that apology just does not cut it with me. I have told you so many times and you do not learn. I think the only thing i can do now is make you remember, so what you must do it write me a hand-written apology to show me that you mean it.

I want it to be at least one page long. After I recieve this and accept your apology, I will go to my bank and transfer some money to you.

[David copies and pastes some sort of apoloy from what I assume is somewhere from the internet� completely non-sensical� but in the context of our conversation is quite bizarre� and worth a read�]

o captain my captain

thanks so much for your reply,i promise you that i will not happen any more,please forgive me for that make mne happy not sad,i am a young boy,please i beg you,i dont have any money,i am just a poor boy help me.

I really had a sleepless night, moving here and there on my bed and thinking about what happen to us that night. I least expected it, I experienced the worst headache ever, all I could hear was my heart beating much faster than it ever has. I cursed my stars that night, as my expectation for the night was so much greater, but it ended in a far different way that made my heart choke with tears of losing something I've always fought for.

We all made mistakes not trying to understand each other, some words did hurt in some way and I guess we got carried away after all those arguments of whether truly I have some intimate relationship with Millicent. I guess this issue has always been the stand block of our relationship getting worked out. I know it's been hard for you trying to understand the real truth. Perhaps I need to give you a chance to find out for yourself whether what I'm trying to make you understand is the real truth or not. Trust is very important, especially in a new and an up-coming relationship, and so I have no objection about you finding out the fact about whether I have a relationship with her.

I know we both said so many things to each other that we least expected, trying to find out the truth about something, it's really hard and needs much time, but I guess I got carried away by saying those words to you. I know you said you can't forgive me, neither will you forget, but I know deep down in me, I've regretted saying those things to you and being the first guy to have said this to you also hurts me a lot. Whether you accept my apology or not *I'm truly sorry for my harsh and unpleasant words.*

Perhaps this is the chance for us to experience the passion in each other. The most important thing is that this is not our first love experience and one thing we must understand is that, in every relationship, whether old or new, we're sure to experience some problems but it's up to us to solve them. These are some of the things that might break our warm friendship and everything we are planning ahead of us. We need to understand each other and try to have the trust that will make this relationship work. I know you want this to work as much as I do and I still have my hopes up, never giving up on you. Let me tell you this thing that I believe in a real relationship: "It doesn't take beauty to make a relationship but the heart and the mind." I know what I've seen in you and have a special reason of choosing you. Your perception about guys is really not correct, guys are never the same, maybe some times you might think we think alike but the heart shows all the difference.

For now, I know sorry is just a word, but for what it's worth I am very sorry for hurting you last night. You caused me pains too but and I'm really confused about everything. I much want things to be stable and that you get all the time you need to make your decision. I love you so much and never will I think that I can forget you. Hope to hear from you... I remain yours ....

Love always,

[Armitage, of course, is not happy�]

DAVID!

I AM NOT A FOOL! I KNOW THESE ARE NOT YOUR WORDS.

Do you think to trick me? Did you read what it said?

Please write me a HANDWRITTEN apology of YOUR OWN WORDS.

what you just wrote has nothing to do with us

I am furious.

where did you get him to send you the handwritten apology? I'd like to add that touch to one I'm running, but what do you use as an address?

Not quite a Newb Joined: 13 Mar 2007 Posts: 54

Oh, I made him scan it and send it in the email.

If it got to me, i would have scanned it much higher quality.

Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:49 pm

Wow!!! You had him hooked for ages!!!

I remember his photo from elsewhere on Eater (and the Coke fridge!!!). I can remember that when he first hit the radar people were asking wether he was just some dumb kid or a real scammer. Well you proved he's a dumb scammer!!!

Yeah he was a good one. It went on for a while longer too, but he dissapeared off the face of the planet before I could get another trophy.

That became almost surreal near the end. That scan looks crappy, though... they must have second rate scanners in Azerbaijan.

Overall, I liked it, though. Good work!

Oooh, I had this exact same lad almost a year ago, I think! Dumb as bricks and tons of fun! Good to see he hasn't improved his tactics a whole lot. clapping

I seem to recall that someone was able to find his real name, address, and MySpace account way back when (and no, I'm not thinking of the "pipipipisex" lad whose MySpace was found). When I have more time, I'll try to find that thread. Very Happy

I think the kid in the picture turned out not to actually be him judging by his MySpace pics and age, but I couldn't swear to it until I dig that up again.

In a bizarre update to this, I just happened to check my spam folder of my baiter account and happened accross four emails from the 1TV5 website saying that David has logged in and tried to answer more questions.

the emails were dated about 2 days before i posted the above letters, and about a year after the above baiting session.

So, he's still out there and waiting to be hooked again.

Great bait!!!

How does one go about using http://www.v3r1fys3c.com/???

I want to try it out on a bait, and Im still new at the game. Do you really have to transfer the money via western union to get the verification code?

Please, any help will be appreciated!
