@weas: Good work!!! I thought he was a bit wary of meeting up in SA but now I think I understand why. But it seems the idiot forgot to use a proxy. So, please contact 419legal about this. I suppose you know Rian's email address? If not, it's dead easy to find or PM me.

Thanks ever so much! This is outstanding work. I had not even thought of this because I'd just assumed he was a lad in a cafe. Much appreciated. Looks like the lad might be in even hotter water when he comes back to SA. Twisted Evil

Shrek you could do it yourself , by going to 419legal.org and posting this there again , just reference to the thread i already posted here ,, then PM Rian or one of the Mods at 419legal about it you can use all the info i have already posted here if you want , perhaps get yourself another badge for your signature

If he flew Kenya Airways, he arrived at Jomo Kenyatta about 3 or 4 in the monring. That airport is deader than Julius Caesar at that time and not much leaves before 8 AM. Then he probably hit West Africa via Entebbe or Khartoum.

That was a right miserable safari you enticed him into, Fred, made even worse by virtue of it being on Kenya Airways Twisted Evil

Wonder if they're still flying 1959-vintage Boeing 707s? Smile

Heck, I wish they're still flying Dakotas! Very Happy

Anyway, the story about him being stranded without cash is unlikely to be true. His SA IP comes up too often during searches, so I think he's an experienced scammer (or at least hangs out with people who are experienced scammers). His emails are also quite literate, and he has talked to banks about bearer bonds and stuff, so he knows people. Weas is trying to get Rian interested in visiting his SA work address.

The gist is that freddibnah did a fantastic job convincing this mugu to travel all the way to Ghana! Very Happy

Shrek i dont think that IP address is his persay , because i cant go any further then the system admins , that is why we need Rian to check further , he has the way and means to get past the system admins and to see who is actually using the IP address at the time .. The only prob is that we need to get him back to SA to trace him now , also i have received quite a lot of new email from the ferry which leads to that exact same address .. I am goign to bait a few more of these lads to try a narrow down where they are actaully at .. if you want more lads from the same area as your lad them PM me if you are interested , we could bait them together , i have currently got 10 emails in my baiting address that need attention and a whole lot more in my ferry account

You guys and scampatrol are setting the bar very high for future records.
Before too long we're going to have to bait the scammers into one of those Russian space trips to the shuttle to top these records.

Just for the record, Scampatrol is not a baiting site. We don't send lads on safari, we give advice and help to victims of scams.

Having them dig a nice tunnel to China wouldn't be bad either. Twisted Evil

@weasledna: Please advise on when those lads on that IP send their replies. If it is before Monday, then we may have a nest on Telkom SA Ltd SAIX as it is unlikely to be our Ghana lad.

Just curious...

Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2005 11:56 pm

nothing back yet... do you expect your lad to be back by monday

i am getting 2 different addresses for the SA lads , the one in Parow and the other in Pretoria

Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2005 12:10 am

I've done everything possible to ensure the lad spends at least the weekend in Ghana, so I don't expect him home before Monday.

Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2005 12:39 am

dude looking at what i am coming up with , it seems that i have a address here in joburg in bryanston that a whole bunch of companies use ... i think the conradie one must be a building with a few companies aswell ...

One is supported by Telkom , the other by Internet Solutions

It also turns out that both addresses pop up on joewein and 419legal , but more then 6 months ago ..

do you think they have just got up and running again

He means ScamPatroller, the member here who sent a lad about 2500 miles.

Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2005 9:24 pm

The lad is still in Accra, Ghana. His hotel number is +233 21 304 958, and I've just confirmed that he is still there! Very Happy

today is Sunday and I just want to inform you that I have not heard from George yet. I do not even know if he is here in Ghana already or not. could you please feed me in as to his present location.

in the meantime I need to ask you one favor if you do not mind. could you please send me some cash tomorrow Monday to enable me settle my hotel bills and be able to hold on here until I see George?

I did not come to Ghana with enough cash because George agreed he would take care of my hotel bills. he promised to make a reservation for me, which he has not done and I have already run out of cash since Friday I arrived here because I did not make provision to stay this long before meeting George.

I just needed to deposit more money at the hotel tomorrow to avoid embarassment. if you can send to me any amount like $1000 or less it would be enough to sustain me while I wait for George to show up.

I do not wish to bother you with this but I have no choice and I would appreciate it if you could do that.

you should send any amount that is ok with you by Western Union Money Transfer addressed to me.

Mr. Leon Jacob,
address: Odasani Hotel Accra Ghana.

Send the reference number to me by email to enable me collect the money and settle my hotel bills before George would arrive for our meeting. I hope this would not be too much to ask.

I Hope I would hear from George tomorrow to know his exact location and when we shall be meeting to sort everything out finally.
if you know any phone number that I can reach George with, please send the number to me so as to call him right away.
again I can be reached on this number here in Ghana. 020 888 6287 but if you are calling from out side Ghana, you dial 233 (20) 888 6287.

Excellent effort Fred & Shrek Very Happy

Between Scam Patrollers <a href="ref.php?url=http://www.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55912" target="_blank" class="postlink">safari</a> and this...you guys have certainly raised the bar when it comes to sending the lads on a holiday...us mere mortals have got no hope of competing!

Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2005 11:40 pm

Shrek , i am still awaiting those replies , hopefully get them by tomorrow night....

Hey, I've lown on Kenyan Airways, it was a 737-400. Johannesburg to Nairobi. Excellent flight and cabin service. I loved flying them as they don't have a business class, just first and economy, so i got booked onto First class by default.

They were the only airline where I was given a pen (monogrammed Kenyan Airways pen to keep) with which to fill out my immigration forms. OK, it was first class, but on no other first class flight I've taken was I given a pen - other gifts perhaps but I thought a pen was a thoughtful idea as you usually have your own pen but it's in your cabin bag up in the locker.

I don�t get it. You got a street name for an IP address. So you know where the ISP/telco sits. And? What are you going to do about it now? Have the police raid their premises, because a scammer used one of their IPs? Please explain it. Confused

Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2005 8:49 am

I think weas is suggesting that it might be a fixed IP. At least, that is what I had understood. Then it would a simple matter to find out which "employee" had gone missing in Ghana! Wink

Anyway, back to the bait. George's employer is going to Fedex a postal draft to him which he will get later this week... Very Happy

Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2005 9:17 am

You don�t actually think that this IP was assigned to a mugu at 151 Frans Conradie Ave. now, do you?
