*FINAL UPDATE: SCAMMER'S OTHER IDENTITY EXPOSED!*

Scammer's e-mails:

[email protected]
[email protected]

You can hear his voice in one of these voicemails.

http://www.geocities.com/african_5655/taofeek2.wma

Here comes a crooked credit card scammer! I had a lot of fun with him and wasted this idiot's precious time.

I've divided this story into two parts:

Part 1 -- Scammer buys from store. (Top of this page)
Part 2 -- Shipping company representative gets Taofeek to go to the post office twice. Then a Nigerian crook shows up and ruins everything (or so he thinks). ***FUNNY SECTION*** (Middle of this page)

Bad guy:

Taofeek Tinuoye - Scammer

Good guys:

NOTE: TAIWO MARTINS AND MARK MADU ARE NOT REAL SCAMMERS. THEY WERE ONLY CHARACTERS THAT I HAVE INVENTED.

Steve Austin - Store sales representative (I'm a fan of Mr. Udo Watts, scambaiter, not Steve Austin the rock star).

Taiwo Martins - Nigerian worker at Benin Air Freight Corporation (Taiwo means "twin who came out first" in Yoruba).

Mark Madu - Airport guy in Lagos; a big bad thief.

Enjoy the story!

PART TWO

******************

I invented a new chracter, Taiwo Martins (Benin Air Freight representative). Let's see what happens....

Attn: Taofeek Tinuoye

Shipments usually take 3 - 5 days to arrive. If you have not received any
shipments on time, contact us immediately.

Taiwo Martins
Benin Air Freight Corp.

------------------

Hi Taofeek,

I was wondering why you did not respond to my e-mail concerning the parcels.

Please reply immediately.

Taiwo Martins
Benin Air Freight Corp.

-----------------

dear martins, (My name is Taiwo, not Martins!)
I haven't received the parcel yet, I would like to know if it has arrived.
Hope to hear from you soon.

-----------------

Hi taofeek,

I have found that the parcels have arrived, but they are facing delay problems.
Please go to your local post office to enquire about the delay.

Taiwo Martins

-------------------

Hello Taiwo,
I am really confused i wnt to the post office and they did not see the
parcel.Let me have the registration number of the parcel so they will be able to
use that to track it out for me.Contact me soonest,
Regards,
Taofeek.

------------------

I give some numbers I found in the value e (2.7.... )

taofeek,

Here are the registration numbers for the two parcels:

1. 5987931636889230098793127720899
2. 5987931636889230098793127736178

If the shipments continues to have problems, I will give you further
instructions.

taiwo martins

------------------

taofeek,

Did you go to the post office? Are there any problems or did you get your
packages?

Taiwo Martins

------------------

Dear taiwo

Thank you for mailling me am going there on monday to collect the package
if any thing happen i will send you mail on monday

thanks

----------------

Hello Taiwo,
I have gone to the local post office today and they said the registration
number is invalid.Pls could you send me more information about the two parcels.I
will also need your phone number because i want to call you.Contact me asap.
Taofeek.

------------------

Taofeek,

I have investigated everything and found that the packages have not been
received by the post office - they are still at the Lagos airport. I don't know
why it is there - maybe they are facing problems with the customs.

Please, could you please go to the Lagos airport and talk directly to the
freight handlers and customs officials? You may go to the information desk, etc.
about info on how to get the packages.

I hope you will be safe at the airport. I am sorry if this is causing you
trouble, but the packages can not be delayed for too long.

Taiwo martins

--------------------

Hello Taiwo,
I cannot go to the airport.Its not my duty to do that.When actually are the
bibles going to land at the post office.If you know you want me to go to the
airport scan the receipt and address slip that was stapled to the
package.Contact me asap.
Regards,
Taofeek.

--------------------

Mr. Tinuoye,

My assistant went to the airport and will have an airport official write you
immediately. The official knows what happened to your packages and is in charge
of some operations of freight/cargo processing in the airport.

Taiwo Martins

--------------------

Mark Madu, the crooked airport guy, looted Taofeek's packages!

To : [email protected]
Subject : CONCERNING YOUR PARCELS

DEAR MR. TAOFEEK TINUOYE,

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED THEM, LET TELL YOU WHAT HAPENED TO YOUR PARCELS {pls
find the info below ok}}

YESTERDAY SOMBODY TALKED TO ME AT MURTALA MUHAMMAD AIRPORT, HE SAID THAT HE IS
SPEAKING FOR MR TAIWO MARTIN AND NEEDS TWO PACKAGES RIGHT AWAY, GAVE ME THE
NECCESERY INFO, SO I TOLD HIM THAT THEY CANNOT BE GIVEN TO HIM. HE DEMANDED
THEM, GUESS WHAT HAPENED

I SAID TO HIM THAT I BRIBE A MUGU WHO HANDLES PARCEL ETC TO OPEN THEM AND GIVE
THE CONTENTS TO ME, I SOLD THEM THE BIBLE SO I GET BIG MONEY.

did you know I AM A 419 GUY???? I LIVE IN IKEJA AND I AM RICH.

THE BIBLES ARE FROM A POOR MUGU NAME STEVE AUSTIN. SHAME ON DAT MUGU AND ALSO
MR TAIWO MARTIN.

I AM 419 GUY. ARE YOU A 419 GUY TOO?????

BYE,
MARK MADU

-------------------

hi,

Did the airport official contact you? Let me know ok?

Taiwo Martins

----------------------

Benin Air Freight sucks?!?!

someone contacted me and told me that he has collected the parcel.I don`t
know the kind of your own shipping courier.You are not working at all i can
never advise anybody to use your courier.

--------------------

Taofeek,

The package theft is completely out of our control, you can not blame us for
such crime, it was stolen by the airport crooks. You know how bad people are in
Lagos these days, I am very sorry that you happened to run into that thief.

I will visit you and meet for a face-to-face discussion about a partial/full
refund for your packages.

Please give me your RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, ETHNICITY, AGE, AND DATE OF MEETING so
we can meet.

Taiwo Martins

----------------------

But Taofeek doesn't respond. I had to send a few more e-mails before he finally gave out a bit of info.

Taofeek,

I'm talking about a refund, reply this mail now so I can furnish you with more
details.

Taiwo Martins

--------------------

Taofeek,

Just tell me where and when we would meet, OK?

Taiwo Martins

----------------------

Taofeek,

I haven't heard from you even though I mailed you so many times, are you afraid
to talk to me for some reason - we have been in correspondence and we are
friends, OK?

Just send me an e-mail and let me know, IF YOU LEAVE ME LIKE THIS THEN YOU WOULD
BE VERY RUDE.

Taiwo Martins

-----------------------

I don't need your phone number, idiot!!!

Hello Taiwo,
Here is my phone number 08033870678.
Regards

---------------------

TAOFEEK,

I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DONT NEED TO TALK ON THE PHONE, I HAVE DOCUMENTS
FOR YOU TO READ, SIGN, ETC. AND OTHER STUFF TO SHOW YOU, MONEY TO HANDLE, SO
THAT'S WHY I NEED TO KNOW WHERE (YOUR HOUSE/INTERNET CAFE) AND WHEN WE CAN MEET.

TAIWO MARTINS

------------------------

TAOFEEK,

PLEASE, GIVE ME THE ADDRESS OF YOUR RESIDENCE OR THE INTERNET CAFE.

IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS NOW THEN I LOSE MY PATIENCE SOONER OR LATER, ALL
RIGHT?

TAIWO MARTINS

------------------------

After a week....

My dear Taofeek,

I want to know why you are afraid of meeting me? Why are you refusing?

Taiwo Martins

-----------------------

Unfortunately, Taofeek never replied to Taiwo. He nust be thinking that Benin Air Freight is a bad company.

Now he sends Steve another e-mail.

TROPHIES!!!!!! He did not say anything, but it's still quite interesting.

In the first voicemail I heard his voice, but that second one was weird.

Dearest consumer,

I do not know why you will not want to leave a message, please tell me on the answering machine what is wrong with Benin Air Freight Corporation (Taiwo Martins is one of their representative). Please personally tell me on the phone what is wrong and I will not ship my items via Benin Air Freight, OK?

Call me on 1-206-339-6667.

I want to hear you personally (on the phone) on this subject, OK? This is an important matter, and I want to hear you personally.

more.contact me asap.
Thanks,
Taofeek.

-----------

Suddenly, something goes wrong.

Consumer,

Let me inform you that Steve Austin has gone to
Nigeria to do a transaction with Mr. Frankline Olu
Eze, so I am taking over his responsibilities.

Are you that man from Nigeria who took away my
girlfriend Britney Spears? Are you?!? I need you to
APOLOGIZE to me right now, THAT YOU ARE SORRY FOR WHAT
YOU DID AND THAT YOU WILL STAY AWAY FROM MY
GIRLFRIEND. DON'T QUESTION ME, JUST APOLOGIZE RIGHT
AWAY OR THE CELL PHONES WILL NOT SHIP.

Mike Anderson

------------

Taofeek,

I have not heard from you, ARE YOU BLIND OR NOT? Tell
me what's going on, or I will not ship the
packages!!!!

Mike Anderson

-------------

I guess Taofeek does not like Mike Anderson's being mad at him and doesn't reply.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

BUT THAT'S NOT THE END!

I managed to trace Taofeek's IP address and got this result:
