I ran across this on Twitter last week and was thinking of how to incorporate it in a bait.

The poster claimed it was from the CIA's [img]Simple Sabotage Field Manual[/img] 1944 edition. I doubt that's true, because I think during WWII, there was no CIA, but the OSS.

Side note: I just looked. I'll be damned. It is real: https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2012-featured-story-archive/simple-sabotage.html

Anyway, today, I get quite a Fool in my inbox:

We've already been through all this.

I think it is fair to question the timeliness.

Don wrote:

I want you to know I havn't heard from you in five years.

Jenny wrote:

Hello Dear

Thank you for your mail, the reason why you never heard from me for good 5yrs,it is because my late father brother was trying to block up my late father fund and take it away, but since he dont have the document with him that is why he can not have power of the fund that was left by my late father in the bank.

Please send me your details so that i can send it to the bank.

Your full name

telephone mobile number

Address

Country

Ms Jennifer

Let's look at suggestion 1.

Don wrote:

So, that I have this straight: Your late father brother was trying to block up your late father? Why would he do that? Can he be trusted now? Is he still blocking up? Is your late father brother also late? What time is it there and is this an emergency? I think it would be best that we use different channels so you (your late fathers child) and I can sort this thoroughly. We do not want my current wife to interfere as she is suspicious, mean, and tends to violence when drinking. She will certainly make a mountain out of a moleman. It must be kept from her. So, we must also be complete and clear and make sure the document is safe.

Are we sure you want me sending this information directly to you and then you send it to the bank? Perhaps I should have my attorney send it directly to the bank because he can revoke Attorney Client Privileges and not tell my wife.

Jenny wrote:

Hello Dear

Thank you for your mail and i have heard what you said, my late father brother can not be trusted ,because he can killed me, :shocked: this is why i have run far away from him.

The time right now is 4pm Laughing

,yes this is emergency to move this fund out of here for me, we can also keep everything to our self.

You have to send me the detils so that i can visit the bank to discuss further with the bank for the diplomatic delivery packaging to your country.

I am waiting for your details

God bless us
Ms Jennifer

Now, we need to add suggestion 1 with a bit of 2.

Don wrote:

I agree completely with involving the diplomat. We need more channels. The bigger the separation, the better.

I have issues with my own late father brother, mostly in the fact that he was closeted. He insisted that nobody know, although my own late father brothers wife was also a closeted labian, so it worked for them. The problem was, they never told anybody, so their life went unfulfilling with no pleasure because they only told each other. As I'm sure you've surmised, since they never shared this information outside of their ownselves, it ended up being they were unhappy. Like my current wife, both my late father brother and my late father brothers wife took to drinking. I believe you know that when you are unhappy with a hidden secret deep in your mind and you've had a shot or two of the old rotgut, along with a bottle or two of some homemade hooch, things can look mighty ugly. These two (my late father brother and my late father brothers wife) went on a bender one night that had more turns than Copperhead Road, if you know what I mean. Throw in a sawed off shotgun and the straight razor that belonged to my late father father but was inherited by my late father brother and you get one mighty mess for the day after.

As you can tell, what I'm trying to say is we need to make sure they are informed, aware of your late father brother and be on the look out for some terrible deeds and blocking on his part. For the sake of our duties to family and country, I give you the following:

Hello Dear

Thank you for your mail and you have to send me your full details so that i can be able to submite it to the bank. You dont need to bring your attoney into this matter, because most attoney is not be trusted. I have already discuss with the bank that they should never deal with my late father brother,because i am the real beneficiary to the fund of my late father.

I need your full detils.

1, Phone number

3. Country

4. ID CARD NUMBER

5. your full name

Quote:

That is good that you are telling your bank to not disgust your late father brother, but we must trust the lawyer. They can never harm their clients due to the hypocrite oaths they must take at the bars. As I said, it is best to tell people and I suggest we create a committee. I'm thinking it should be you and me, the banker, my lawyer and your lawyer, at least. We do not want my current wife or your late father brother as a part of it though. They can not be trusted and are looking to bring down the country with their hate and blockings.

We may need to consider tax shelters though, because the fund of your late father may have tax implications so perhaps we should ring the accountants in for the committee. Me, I liked Arthur Anderson, but they are expensive. What are your thoughts on this? Should the Diplomat be in the committee? How should we vote on the Chairman of the committee and the Secretary? My current wife was a good secretary but she shakes when she hasn't had her gin, so that's not reliable.

Right now, I'm waiting on a replacement phone to come in the mail. My current wife was kind enough to toss it towards my head at a high velocity during her last dance Jim Beam. Fortunately, I ducked, but the phone hit my antique leg lamp and they both shattered. It took my current wife damn near three days to clean up the glass shards, electronics, plastic, and ripped stockings from the floor. As soon as I have a new number, I can call with it.

My address, I believe I sent you.

As for my ID number, it is AZ419419 and expires 07/04/22

My name is Donald Daffy Jone.

Hello Dear

Thank you for your mail and i am just coming back from the ecobank.Regarding your question, this something that we dont have to be delayed, you are now partner with me that is going to receive the fund in your country.

I have went to the bank this morning to discuss further and i also introduce you as my business partner to the bank director Mr Jean XXX, i told him that you are the person to receive the fund.

I have also submited your full bank details that you send to me to the bank director, he also ask me for your email address which i have giving to him. The bank director said that he will contact you immediately by today before the bank will close .

Please make sure you update me as soon the bank director contact you and ask you any question you do not understand.

Don wrote:

Thank you for the prompt reply.

We need to discuss the committee. Please contact Mr. Jean XXX and ask him his thoughts on the committee and the members. It should be important he weigh in on this decision. I can reach out to my attorney tomorrow to discuss membership, too. Decisions by vote is the democratic way to do it. God bless America and us. This will lead to the best decisions, of course.

Now, I'm going to need the contact information of the bank director. Please, what is their full name, number, email address, and location of the bank? I receive a lot of emails from people claiming to be bankers, etc. and I want no mistakes. My current wife says I'm always making mistakes, but she really only says this after her morning Bloody Mary and not before she wakes.

I refer back to my previous email as you did not respond to several of the questions. Please do so, as quickly as possible so we may make a contemplated, careful decision.

Thank you.

Hello Dear

I dont really understand about the vote of commitee you are talking about, again the bank director Mr Jean XXXX said he will contact you today or tomorrow before the bank will close.

I am only worried about the fund to move out here to your country. please just update me as soon the bank director reach you.

Ms Jenny

Don wrote:

You do not think it best to have our most trusted advisors advising us? That may be better. I am not sure. It is your trust.

But wait. Is this a trick your late father brother might play to try and steal the fund from me? It would be like him to block our forward movements by eliminating our committees, don't you think?

I'm going to need you to prove to me your are the proper owner of the fund. You must, immediately, reply with the following:

The banker's full name:
The banker's number phone number:
The banker's email address:
The location of the bank:

It will also be important you know my address. What did I send to you? What is my current wife's name, too? I'm a bit scared you are your late father brother.

Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2019 1:16 pm

Phew, who'd be a lad when you're up against CIA officially trained baiters.

Don't take this personally but I strongly suspect that the victim of the late fathers brother and his dodgy wife is going to tell you to kindly fuck off very soon Very Happy

Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2019 2:35 pm

^^^You would think so. Actually, since I typically bait via social media, I was getting bored waiting for replies and "the bank." The CIA would also want a nice twist, right?

Fortunately, Don happened to receive another email, completely unrelated, but perfect, nonetheless.

MR JEAN ,

I have received your email and understand everything you have said in it. Here are a few notable things:

I have no fax machine or fax number. This is an outdated technology used only by the poorest and worst companies. This is worrisome.

I am glad you have provided the names of the bartender (B) and the telegraph head (DR. QUAT PET). Please provide their contact information (email address) and I will provide the name and email address of my attorney (John) and banker (Trevor) so we may all be part of the committee that Jenny and I discussed. Once the committee is formed to decide our way forward, we can move on with the rest of the information.

One final thing and a piece of advice I give to those new to business. Spelling and grammar are important when communicating with experienced clients. You would hate to be be considered unprofessional when presenting to them. For the future, the correct spelling is "honorable," not honourable.

Thank you and I will look forward to the proper information. Also, you are much more respectful than the bankers at UBA.

Regarding your mail and the bank is not going to transfer your fund to china, the Ecobank is going to transfer the fund to your account in Arizona, after the processing fund transfer documents is be obtain from the government ministries.

I understand that you are from Americans and you can not pay amount in Euros, You can go ahead and pay it in US Dollars the sum of 1,300USD so that i can start the process of the fund transfer documents to your account from government ministries.

This is the kind of Example of the fund transfer documents that you have to procure to empower your fund to your country bank account in your country .

WRT the OP; what the CIA Manual may be describing are some methods supposedly used by Communists to take effective control of organisations such as unions. The idea was to prolong any discussion on important matters so as to cause members to drop out, so that when decisions were made, Party members would be an effective majority.

Mind you, I'm going solely by memory here - I haven't been able to track down the sources I read who knows how many years ago.
