......found a little present waiting for him at the end

First it must be said that no end of kudos and groveling respect must be ladeled onto Cherrie, undoubtedly the baiter of the year so far for sticking the sword home in this bait to end all baits.

What started out as a fairly humdrum bait lurking in one of my catcher accounts, turned into something a shade more interesting when the scammer happened to mention that he wanted me to travel to Thailand - residency of veteran baiter Cherrie.

Hilarity ensued.

Highlights from the bait will be published forthwith, but the best bits are all in here.

but first this.

Hi Battery.

Well you can break open the champers. It went off like a dream. I have just this second returned... 16:57. Our lad didn't show up until just after 2pm. The police all went back to the station and left me on my own when he didn't show up at Noon.

So here's the full story whilst it's fresh in my mind:

I watched our lad arrive in his suit...hey he was quite the dapper. (Only about 25-30)

He arrived in a Bangkok Taxi...and as he stepped out of the car, he made a telephone call...probably to Hua. I was on the phone to the Thai Police to let them know he had arrived. I was only feet away from the lad...so the pics I took were a bit hasty. (I'll download them tomorrow) Anyhow the lad went into the hotel complex clutching a load of papers. I watched him from outside showing something to the receptionist. Then when she gave him a negative response...he went into the little restaurant next door and showed then the papers. (I later found out that it was full scanned copy of the pic you had sent him)

The police arrived in an unmarked car and picked me up.(We were still feet away from the lad) I briefed them and then they drove up to the side of the lad...wound the window down and enquired, "Mr Johnson?"

"Yes," replied the lad looking puzzled.

"Police...would you mind getting in the car."

Needless to say the lad turned instantly white and tried arguing with them...fatal mistake. They hustled him into the back seat next to me and drove off with him protesting that he hadn't paid the taxi driver yet. Needless to say I was crapping myself...they hadn't searched him or anything...and there he was sharing the back seat with me. The lad looked me straight in the eye and asked what was all this about?

Putting on my best Swedish Chef accent...I replied "Bordee bord a bee de bord."

He was led into the back room at the Immigration Department...told to sit down and then totally ignored for about an hour. Then the big boss entered the room and told the lad straight to his face,

"You're not a nice man...your dead!"

The whole interview took a couple of hours...most of that time (and I am not exaggerating) the lad was on his knees clutching at anyone's trouser leg and pleading.

"Please sirs...come on sir."

All the time I was sitting at the next desk to him... he was pleading with me.

"Please sir...I don't know you...if I have done anything to offend you...or wronged you in anyway...I am deeply sorry."

Honest to God I had to listen to this crap for over an hour. He was just so pathetic.

His story was that he was a business man in export and import...and that he was in Pattaya on business. Just then as luck would have it...his mobile phone started ringing and guess who was on the other end...Hua. The police had a field day with that lie.

"So you are a business man in Thailand?"

"Yes...sirs...I am doing business."

"Why haven't you got a work permit?"

No answer.

"What is your address in Bangkok?"

"Please sir...I only arrived in Pattaya to help out a friend...I was supposed to meet Mr Chris...and just take him back to Bangkok."

"Who asked you to do this?"

"I don't know...I only met him yesterday...he said he would pay me some small money to eat."

"Why would you need small money to eat...you're a successful business man?"

Anyhow this is how the interview carried on for a bit. He just kept tripping himself up with lies. The most damming evidence was what he had done with the papers he was carrying when he first got out of the taxi. He had screwed them all up and hidden them behind a desk in the office. When the police found them after he denied ever having any in the first place...he just broke down and sobbed like a baby.

There was a fake ID card, a business card from the Nigerian Bank in the name of Johnson, the last mail you had sent and the pic. Then off course his passport was from Guyana ...I forget his first name...but his real surname is Emmanuel and he's from Accra.

The police then formally arrested him. Just before he was carted off to the cells...he asked if he could speak to his friend...me! He was given permission. 'Hey up' I thought...'here comes my first face to face death threat!'

Nothing of the sort: He threw himself down on his knees again wrapped his arms around my legs and pleaded for mercy. All I could think of saying to him was,

"Its ok mate...it's your Chairman or that Oga of yours Wilson Hua we wanted...your just small potatoes."

I was then asked if I would be prepared to go to court...of which I replied yes.

As they led the scumbag away to the cells. The chief told me that it may not get to court...because no actual money had exchanged hands...but he assured me that the lad had broken enough Thai laws and would definitely have his visa revoked and be deported back to Guyana.

So you can stick your arrest badge up and wear it with pride...and post a thread and claim the applause you (Surely Cherrie - deserves Wink

) deserve for a bait well carried out in such a short time too.

Cherrie

And the best part is - the whole bloody time - Cherrie, the trooper was taking snap shots of the whole effing thing!

Our man asking the waiter if he has seen Mr Chris.

Our man calling his boss...notice the Taxi driver...come bodyguard keeping a look out.

Quite a nice view of my lads sexy looking business suit

Lad being led to the interview room.

Lad in the cop shop looking all lovely and innocent, big wide eyes, a first class candidate for the soap dropping olympics...if you look close enough you can see the hand-cuffs'

It's hard to describe how difficult it was to get Cherrie to step up and make this post and lap up the deserved' praise, so I hope I'll raise a hand and few glasses with this toast.

This is not the end, Oh no. There are four scammers involved in this little treasure, one set of bank account details, an almost certain deportaition (round the world safari) and of course the contributions of all the good folk at 419 to the addresses which will be published in the next few posts or so Twisted Evil

Many thanks and Kudos once again to Cherrie.

I bow down before your greatnesses.

Though I would have personally shat myself at being in the same car with him.

And with that innocent look, he's likely to come out of prison with a pair of knockers tattooed on his back...

Amazing work!
