Aaaah, now that would be useful. I could get him to track the package before it goes to the new location....

Hmmmm, a bit confused now - My last email to my lad was an attempt to get him to comply..... general jist was this:

Me: I can not get my man to travel to Delhi for at least a couple of weeks. But I can send the £275,000 cash to you fully GPS tracked so you can track the progress yourself. I need to get this moving or I will have to find another company to clean my money

Lad: Please sir, I think you need to look for another company to help you with your cleaning - I'm not satisfied with your arrangement. I need someone to come with the consignment.

What should I do? I have made it abundantly clear this is legal tender. This lad is as good as turning down the biggest pay day of his life. What are his real worries about this? Does he know I'm blagging him? Does he suspect a sting? I can't understand why he doesn't just take a punt on this.... I'm itching to send him the money.

Thoughts appreciated.

He may be thinking that such a delivery would need him to give an actual delivery address, or to visit a depot to get it, and that would make him traceable; whereas a courier could be picked up and disposed of more easily.

Kind of my thoughts. But I tried to avoid a person as this may entail phone calls when my man gets to New Delhi airport. I bet the lad wouldn't move a muscle till he gets that call. If the flight is diverted it kind of leaves the onus on me to then get to New Delhi airport rather than have him safari.

That's why I was so keen to send just the package with GPS - he would then be more likely to travel the 200+ miles to the diverted airport to claim his payday.

Any ideas on how to turn this around? How can I convince my lad this is safe for him to do?

Means you will need to call your lad from New Dehli/India upon arrival, showing an Indian phone number as caller ID?
No problem at all, I can host that call for you Cool

Hey Mountain Goat - very kind offer of help. My lad has gone cold on me but if he comes back to me I may well take you up on that offer.

Cheers

I was so excited about this bait, but then it just died - until yesterday when I gave a little poke..... Hey presto - lad replied as if we had not been apart!

As it stands, my associate has to travel to New Delhi airport in India with my $100,000 cash and give the lad a call when he gets there. As you can see from above, Mountain Goat has kindly offered to host a call for me from New Delhi.....

But, I'm after ideas where to go with this now. If a call is made from Mountain Goat with a New Delhi code and my lad goes to the airport, what then? I'd guess the airport is no distance for my lad and it will soon become apparent that we are not there...... seems a shame to just have this small an inconvenience for him.

Have my associate kidnapped? Send a crate of money to the lad to pay the ransom? Don't want to be too elaborate as this lad dropped me when the going got tough.

Suggestions welcome

Mountain Goat has very kindly offered to make a call to my lad. This will hopefully fully hook him. MG has also offered a great idea for a safari. When I travel I will have to go to Johdpur first to deliver papers to an associate but I'll be taken ill and end up in hospital. All my money, over £60,000 will be in a safe deposit box and all he has to do is collect the key. A mere 690km and 11 hour drive. Fingers crossed he'll smell the money in his country and take the bait for a massive payday.

I'll keep you posted.

This Thursday (4th June) is phone call day..... Mountain Goat is being super helpful in hosting the call as a business associate on my behalf and will pass on flight details of another traveling business partner who will make the trip to India with the cash.

A safari is planned 690km from Delhi to Jodhpur. Seeing as the lad uses a mobile, and his email is non IP trackable, I am trying to think how I can prove the safari if it happens..... Certainly if I arrange for a meeting in a hotel in Jodhpur I can call the reception - but that doesn't prove where he has come from..... I also thought about how the lad would get there - car or public transport? If he safaris, and is obviously disappointed, I could offer to reimburse him for his tickets presuming he uses public transport. He would just have to scan them to me. Is this proof enough? If not how can I get his home location?

update on developments: Mountain Goat has been a diamond in hosting skype calls for me - using fake numbers to place me firmly in India.

Lewis Siffer has played a role in the calls as one of my characters and I have popped my lad telephone cherry on 2 occasions too.

Lad now knows money is in his country a mere 600km away. My character has been taken seriously ill so he just have to get off his lazy ass and make the journey to a hotel. All travel reimbursed, night in the hotel..... and more cash than he will see in a long time.

But the bugger has gone cold. I'm unsure whether this is him planning how to get the cash without travelling - maybe a local lad can do it for him. Maybe he smells a rat, maybe he is just planning his trip. Either way I'm stressing. The plot is set, phone calls made and recorded for voice recognition, follow up emails, just waiting for lad to make his move...

Balls. Lad gone cold. My character has had to return home so the lad has missed his opportunity. I have had no emails now for 4 days since it was clear he had to travel.

I'm going to let my anger calm till tomorrow when I'll decide to try and reinvigorate the bait or just dollar chop him. Feeling more like a dollar chop now after my disappointment with loosing the safari. Lazy, lazy lad. Crying or Very sad
