I am a newbie to baiting so I am hoping that some more experienced members can help me out with this one.

We've been corrosponding for about 2 weeks so I won't post all the e-mails up here but here's a general idea:

Original e-mail from scammer indicated that I was going to split an inheritance with him 50/50 (something along the lines of 10 million dollars). Of course, since he works for the bank he can't claim it, and I have to pretend to be the next of kin.

I indicated my interest, and of course was told I had to fork over some money for the bank fees to release the check and mail it to me. I told him that I would be much more comfortable travelling to Ghana to pick up the check in person (I am playing the part of a young lady who's mother just passed away and left me some money, so I have more than enough to make the trip to Africa). I told him to cover the bank fees for me, and when I arrive I will reimburse him in cash when he hands me the check.

Scammer stayed on script and kept asking for me to send the bank fees... I kept telling him no...he was still on script asking if I'd sent the money yet so I finally sent him this:

Me:

Quote:

I no longer think you are a barrister so from now on, you will call me "boss" and I will call you "boy".

Now, boy, I do not know if you are too busy having intercourse with your mother to pay attention to anything I have said, and I am SICK and TIRED of writing the same thing OVER and OVER and having to tell you the same thing OVER and OVER on the phone.YOU DO NOT LISTEN. You claim to be a barrister, but if you REALLY were a barrister, you would have enough money to cover the bank fees and have the check ready before I come down there.Are you so poor that you and your legal practictioners do not have 7500? Because if that is so, I do not want to work with you because you are bad at your job and don't make money.

Boy, this is how this is going to work:

YOU are going to pay the 7500 for the documents and the check. I am going to fly there and bring 7500 USD with me in my suitcase. We are going to meet at the Golden Tulip, and YOU will GIVE me the check. I will then GIVE you the 7500 usd. Once I have made it out of the country, and cashed the check, we will meet again and I will give you your 50%. I will probably be in Cameroon. I will NOT accept a scanned copy of the check. I will NOT accept a bank transfer. I will NOT give you anything at all until we meet face to face.

And boy, I will NOT send you any money through the bank or western union. NEVER. I will NOT give you any money until you give me the check. If you want this to work, this is how it will be done. And if you are too busy fucking goats to come up with the 7500 yourself, than I do not want any dealings with you. I have offered to make this very EASY, to come give you cash money in person, but you must always make everything difficult.

STOP ASKING ME TO SEND YOU MONEY BEFORE WE MEET. I WILL NOT DO THIS. If you want to work with me, boy, you will do as I say. Otherwise I have no interest in any future dealings.
GET OFF YOUR ASS AND USE THE MONEY YOU MAKE AS A "BARRISTER" TO PAY THE 7500. YOU SHOULD BE WEALTHY ENOUGH THAT YOU DO NOT NEED MY MONEY, ALSO YOU ARE GETTING HALF OF THE MILLIONS SO IT SHOULD BE WORTH IT FOR YOU TO PAY THE FEES.
I WILL NOT SEND MONEY TO YOU BEFORE I HAVE MET YOU. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS?

Now, boy, here is what I need you to do:
1. Get everything straightened out at the bank and get the check made out to "me".
2. Tell me when you have the check.
3. I will immediately book a flight and arrive in Africa within 3 days.
4. I will call you when I check into the Golden Tulip, and you will come meet me at the bar downstairs.
5. You will give me the check.
6. I will give you $7500 USD.
7. I will call you from Cameroon and we can make arrangements so that you get the remaining 50%.

IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DO THIS, PLEASE DO NOT CALL OR E-MAIL ME AGAIN. BUT IF YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES AND WANT TO MAKE THIS WORK, E-MAIL ME BACK TO LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WILL HAVE THE CHECK. AND I WILL GO AHEAD AND BOOK THE FLIGHT. E-MAIL IS BETTER THAN THE PHONE BECAUSE YOU SPEAK TOO FAST AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING YOU SAY.

I WILL SEE WHAT COMES OF THIS.

Today, I got this reply:

Dear.(me),

I just came back from the Bank and i have been able to secure the check.

I will be waiting to hear from you with the Flight schedule so we can proceed.

We will meet in Accra Ghana please make sure i will get my money back as soon as we meet is that clear because it will give us problem when we meet and you refuse to pay me ok.

Thanks And God Bless You.

Best Regards,

Barrister "Pooppants" (Esq)

So I am going to make the flight arrangements but am not content with just sending him to the airport. How can I play this one out? Any suggestions?

Rather than just flying to Ghana, you have decided to make a holiday out of it. After all, you have never seen Africa and this may be your only chance. You have booked a week at Simba's Safari Camp for your self and the mugu. Can he meet you there?

Search this board for Simba's safari camp and you should find all the info you need.

Make sure to take a Sony Vaio laptop and at least two Rolex Submariners. Ask your lad if he would like the stainless steel or gold band. I bet he will ask for the gold band. Laughing

well... if you need a swish place to stay, maybe arrange to meet your not-so-honest friend at Golden Tulip Accra. It has all the amenities including a casino & internet center. There is even a restaurant I stiffed my Lad with over breakfast. Hopefully the hotel staff will recognize your friend as riff-raff and have him pay a bribe to get to meet your character in the swanky lounge. Perhaps he will get beat up in the alley somehow. Overall, its been a first night in the country kinda' place for many characters who have arrived from long (and delayed) flights from somewhere.

Just be sure to take it upon yourself to jump in a "tro tro" (Ghana Taxi) when you finally made it through customs because your idiot friend just didn't have a big enough sign to meet you in the arrivals hall. You just made your reservation at the Hotel and send a short but tired email to your lad that you've had a hell of a flight and are raidin' the liquor fridge and callin it a night. You can decide if you nearly got rolled on the Grand Taxi or listened to the advice of the taxi driver about how there is all sorts of petty criminals around. If your Lad starts getting smart about why you did not give the room number- you can mention that you are being super cautious after hearing all the horror stories during your suicidal taxi ride.

This hotel is a great pivot of excuses as you can say that you awoke early the next morning and didn't see him for breakfast (you are an early riser with the time change) and decided to see the Cocoa warehouses in the city on some 'non approved' tour offered by some shady 'guides' when you were out on a walk looking for a coffee. Maybe you'll get kidnapped.. held for ransom. The scenarios are limitless.

Here's some information about the hotel in this published bait the Accra Golden Tulip

Yeah I am going to stick with the tulip for now...wanted to send him to $afari camp but i think i mentioned it too soon...he wants a phone call from a benin number...maybe i'll get so sick of not being able to meet up with him in ghana, or had such a bad experience i took off in the middle of the night and now am somewhere else...you're right the possibilities are endless. I have a mentor now, and he is helping me, i will keep you updated!

I've stayed in the GT in Real Life and at night the place has got some pretty serious security but I'm sure he will be able to pay at the door. Worst case is he could ask the hookers how they get in Laughing
