Well, this was my first attempt to bait a scammer. It started off well, but ended after I did not hear back from the mugu after a week and a half. I guess I tried to be too funny from the start, and the lad figured it out. Next time, I am going to try a straight bait and see what happens.

The scammer's e-mails will be in red, and mine will be in blue. Comments will be in black.

The e-mails are to be published soon..... Razz

Breathren,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.Please permit me to ask you if you are a christian?If yes,are you in full time ministerial work? and if no, can you be of assistance to do Gods work in humanitarian activities?

Let me brifely introduce myself, I am former Mrs Rashida Ahmed, now Mrs Gita Ahmed, a widow to Late Sheik Mohammed Ahmed, I am 62years old, I am now a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.From all indications,my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may notlive more than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.

My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage we had a son who was also killed in cold blood during the Gulf war. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited his Estate/wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not live for more than six months and I am so scared about this. So, I have
now decided to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism in Africa, America, Europe and Asian Countries.

This mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocated to Africa where I live presently.
I selected you church and i have prayed over it,for this purpose I am willing to donate the sum of $10.000,000.00 Million US Dollars to your Church/Ministry via you for the development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged around you.

Please note that, this fund is lying in a finance house and my lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this funds for personal use other than enhancement of evangelism.I also want you to note that scams have been recorded like this with unknown people using my name.The Good God we serve is our Watchtower and even if men are deceived, we cannot deceive Him.

At this point, the mugu quotes about fifteen Bible verses. I have left them out for space considerations.

Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me as regards my entire
life and my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual
birth lately that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ
in one's life is vanity upon vanity. If you have to die says the Lord,
keep fit and I will give you the crown of life.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.

I await your reply.

Yours in Christ,
Mr Gita Ahmed.

Dear Ms. Ahmed,

Your e-mail to me came like a bolt of lightning from God, and I am very blessed to have received it. I am indeed a good Christian man. I read with great concern of your illness, and be assured that I will be praying for you daily and will ask my friends of the church to do the same.

Since you have told me so much about yourself, and since I anticipate that we will be partners in this endeavor, I will tell you more about me and what I could do with the money involved. My name is Beauregard Claghorn of Bucktooth, Virginia. I am a former United States Senator, leaving the service of the government ten years ago. Since then, I have been preaching the Lord�s word at the Dixie United Baptist Church in Bucktooth.

I left the government because I was tired of having to deal with an increasing number of government officials and fellow Congressmen who are passing laws and doing other things that is turning the United States more and more against the Lord and his teachings. They desire to make my country a secular one, without the word of the Lord in the daily lives of our citizens. I soon became a minority in Congress, and after years of harassment, I finally left and retired to my home.

Over the last year or so, I started to think that it was a mistake to have left Congress. Since then, the evil secular forces have taken deeper root in the government, and wish to destroy the moral fiber of this nation. With your money, it would give me the funds to once again run for office and be re-elected to Congress. Once successful, I can be the Lord�s warrior and try to fix the damage the corrupt politicians of this nation have done. With the guidance of our Lord, Jesus Christ, I can once again make Christian values the cornerstone of our government.

If successfully re-elected, I promise you that you and your family will have a powerful ally in the United States who can help spread the word of the Lord around the world. I look forward to hearing your reply.

Lord�s Blessings,

Beau Claghorn

donation before, that My Lord Almighty should direct me to a man of God
like you who knows the value of our Lord and also who serve God with
all
his heart.

me

you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown
of
life"

the

only
way to do it is through his servants for his work.I have
wholeheartedly accepted to make this donations for the work of the Lord
via you so please you must understand that it is not impossible for
some
selfish and self centered individuals to cause a delay in this process
so
that when i am with the Lord, the money would be used for personal
interest.If there is anything he asks you to do, you have to do it
without
any delay so that he would not say you caused a delay,i hope you

regularly, mail him regularly too, although he is a very busy Lawyer i
must let you know, in essence do not give him any breathing space
untill
the funds have reached you.

Dear Mrs. Ahmed,

I wish to have the Lord shower his blessings upon you and I thank you for your e-mail of 1 December.

I can assure you that on my word as a Christian and Southern gentleman that I will use the funds only for spreading the word of the Lord. I intend to be re-elected to the United States Senate and use my position in government to spread the word of the Lord. I will of course need to purchase a new mansion in Washington, D.C. and a new Lamborghini with some bling-bling but it will all be done in the name of the Lord.

I trust that your lawyer is also a servant of Christ? For I would not feel comfortable in dealing with him unless he was, and is completely trusted by you. I would prefer that I contact him by e-mail first, for I cannot use my phone at the moment. My phone has been tapped by the FBI because they suspect me of embezzlement. Please provide me with an e-mail address for him, and I will surly contact him immediately.

Your Eager Servant In Christ,

Beau Claghorn

Dear Brother Adamu,

May God�s blessings be upon you. It was with great sadness I read about the condition of Mrs. Ahmed. I pray each and every day that she fully recovers. Please keep me advised of how she is doing. May God bless her.

I am happy to provide you with my contact details, as requested:

Beauregard Lee Claghorn
1060 West Addison
Bucktooth, Virginia 23219
United States of America
Home Phone: XXXXXXX (I used a working payphone in NYC)
Business Fax: XXXXXXX

I am more than happy to provide you with a copy of my passport. However, I will only do so on one condition. I request that you not make fun of my appearance. Please let me explain. When my mother was pregnant with me, she suffered from severe flatulence of the gludious maximus. Her condition led me to have my, shall we say, unusual appearance.

I will only provide a copy of my passport if you reply to me in an e-mail stating the following:

�By Grabthar�s hammer�by the Suns of Morvan�I will not make fun of your appearance.�

Then, and only then, will I provide a copy of my passport.

May the Lord give you blessings and canker sores,

Beau Claghorn

And that concludes this short bait. To date, I have not heard back from this lad. I will consider this case closed and start fishing for another bait.

BTW - Does this earn me a little flag for my signature, or is this bait just too short?
