Shrek- You didn't give out his email address. He's just very well-known in the industry.

I haven't heard from Jacob since he so kindly referred to me as a "cork sucker."

I love the "You should know better than to threaten a journalist" line. As a journalist myself, I wish I could scream that at someone without causing them to double over in laughter.

If y'all thought it was funny before...
K, put the coffee mug down and cover the keyboard.

This is just too sweet.

He sent Tanya a Looong list of emails from terrible terrrible people. She has turned them over to the techy people to verify the emails if they are genuine and 100% risky free... In the meantime she has discovered that George may not be a figment of his diseased imaginings.

Mr. Ja**b,
Thank you very much.
I will have our computer technical people confirm these emailings, but for now they seem to verify my instincts.
They also say that (Bobby) has been less than truthful with me and is first real confirmation of even existence of George B****ush who seems to be very elusive creature.

I am once again this morning in my California apartment. I was due to return to Moscow, but tragic occurrence makes me unable to stay there at this time. For my safety, my director suggests this is best place for me. Sadly I must agree. My fianc� has been shot and police suspect he was in wrong place and different man was real target. He also was reporter but for computer stories and technology news.
Most of his stories were sort of funny. I apologize, missing him very much. We publish stories to make it appear he was killed, but he is still alive. This is best Christmas gift I could have.

I will not probably have time to again interview Ms. Keys before January, but I will have good questions for this thanks to you.

You must have very very good Christmas my friend.

Tanya

Tanya decided she has had enough with him, and the world. The music She is playing is Dance of the Nutcracker and she is filing her teeth to points... both sets.

Mr. J***b,
I have asked you to quote price for your story several times.
You refuse to give a price. How can I pay then, should I guess?
You insist to be paid but do not give any professional performance which you know to be required. You play games and say you must speak to my director, then you do not call him and play secret agent boy games.
I ask for way to contact but you refuse. How did you expect to be paid? How did you expect to submit your bibliography and source material? How did you expect to submit your manuscript?
I do not have time to play children�s games Mr. Jacob.

You want either to sell your story you don�t.
I buy and sell stories every day.
People I buy stories from, sell more stories to me later because I treat them professionally.
People I sell stories to know they are proven and well documented and then pay well for them.

You speak of �scooping� which is basically stealing story. So, first you call my director a thief and then call me a thief. This is why my director does not care to deal with you further. You accuse people of stealing but you do not even say how much you wish to be paid.

I do not play secret agent reporter girl Mr. Jacob. I work for respected international wire service. I work with best reporters in Europe. My fianc� was just shot because of an important story that a reporter wrote for us. I am alone and worrying for his life.
I wished you joy for the holiday and in your reply you called me a thief.

Very well. This is how it will be done Mr. Jacob, because I am done playing.
You can sell your story to anyone who wishes to buy it Mr. Jacob, but if you wish your story to sell on this news service then you will act in professional manner. You will adhere to ethical code of journalistic conduct as you were taught. If you had acted as a professional from the first you would be paid already.

Here are the requirements for publication with this service Mr. Jacob.
You will provide a price, and a bibliography documenting and cataloging your source material and research, interviews you conducted to get story and the way you became aware of the original lead, this will substantiate the value you place on your story. If you have audio, video or still photos, you should catalog these and list them as items in your bibliography. You should be careful to number them carefully so that they can be fit into the story when you sell it. Audio and video should be converted to digital format and the files named with appropriate reference numbers. If you can�t do this yourself we might be able to direct you to a sound or video lab in your area. Otherwise this will reduce the amount we will be able to pay because we will then cover these costs ourselves.

If you purchased the original information it is customary but not required to include the name of the source service you bought the lead from. This will be a factor in the value of the story.

This is the way it works in real world Mr. Jacob, not in secret agent boy story land.

We only need to sell stories to people who are buying.
If we sell bad story, it hurts our trust.
If we treat person badly who sells story to us, it hurts our trust.
If we have good trust, we make good money. Bad trust and no one buys or sells with us.
So, we try to be professional always.
BUT
Mr. Jacob, we need only to sell stories. We will not fall apart if we do not sell YOUR story. We do not care how special you think your story is. We have also very special stories and we are trusted and have a reputation for professional behavior. We will continue to sell hundreds of stories world wide every hour of ever day.
Maybe this puts your one story in some sort of perspective for you Mr. Jacob.
If you insist on call us names and acting in this childish secret agent boy game, I will post this in Leads List forums where I bought the original contact information for you and reporters looking for stories will know they will have to be careful to make sure you do not waste their time. We will continue to sell stories, and perhaps someday you will see your special story published. I myself am indifferent.

If you wish to publish your story with this service your next email will contain your price and your bibliography to prove the value of your story. If the story is approved, you will receive half of an agreed price which might be less than your expectations, but largely depends on you. You will then send the story itself properly formatted in manuscript form, with any audio tapes, video, or still pictures properly numbered and cataloged as you were taught in school.

If the materials are received in good order and correctly then the other half will be sent to you. If they are not, you will receive something less than the expected price according to how much is incorrect.

I will be spending my holiday with my медвежонок, by his bedside in St. Petersburg Hospital. I will try to check my email, but will be taking some time for myself for Christmas.

You have plenty of time to provide a PRICE QUOTE, and a bibliography to justify your price.
If your email does not contain this I will simply delete it.
If your email ever again call me thief or accuse me of �scooping� story from you without paying, I will post your email on Leads List to warn others.

I hope I am making this very clear to you Mr. Jacob. I have been patient. It is now time for you to act as if you have something to sell.

Tanya

I wonder what George would think if he discovered that the hit he set up on the reporter in Moscow missed the target and hit a different man. Tanya's finace... Well, blame that on the heavy coats and the hats all looking the same..

The reporter who was the real target is in seclusion now, and the man he hit has awakened from his coma... He does not yet show any signs of recovering his memories though.

@naughty

I think with his new location, he might very well be working under new management.

If you do contact him mention that you found a mention on the reporters Leads List.

If he wants to know where that is, slap him for not knowing.
and tell him that if he doesn't have an invitation to it he can't get in to see the website for it. He should know that if he is any sort of journalist.

If he asks about Tanya you don't know her personally but she's well respected in Russia. If he does ask about her, you could mention what a terrible thing it was about her fiance being shot.

Don't think you should admit to knowing who George is.
He doesn't like George much for some reason.

I still have a reply out to him and haven't given up entirely.
I'm trying to get him to jump through some serious hoops with his story to get it ready for submission... so he can be told it is too old, unsubstantiated and useless.

Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2006 9:05 pm

I dunno about new management but it has been suggested that Jacob's current day job cannot be paying too well, because he's back!

Here's my reply:

Quote:

Jacob,

Much as it might pain you to hear this, but frankly, I don't really care
about what you think you can do. I make several million dollars a year
and you don't. People I work with make even more money from my work
and they will protect their investment. As I tried to tell you before,
whatever you try to do, you will get squashed like a bug. You will be
stepped on like an insignificant insect. Just get used to the facts, and get
on with your life. This will be the last time I write to you. I tried to be nice
and truthful and kind and all you do is insinuate more threats against me.
Well, I'm not accepting this abuse any more.

Goodbye.

Bobby

fantastic bait!

Only started at page 1 tonight, and way too much to read through in one go. (though i will read it all.)

Hopefully your pet is still out on safari, in some godforsaken infested fleapit of a "hotel"

@friday3: Ah. We tried to "pay off" Jacob with a meaty little story about LK. What the meaty bit is, we're not sure as we made several insinuations and in the end, he never took the (sub-sub-)bait but that's what he's rabbiting on about.

Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 1:52 am

And I can assure you in between promising him some very interesting radial fractures on both legs that will "leave your pathetics weasely ass on sticks for the next 24 full moons" Mr. Owen may have called him the odd nasty name here and there.

[minor thread hijack]Since we're on the subject of threats, would everyone please kindly NOT send a few choice ONE-WAY curses to [email protected]? It must be ONE-WAY curses as we really would NOT like to offend the sensibilities of this very superstitious lad (who I think is a student about to take some exams this year).

I thank you all most kindly for NOT sending [email protected] your most fanciful curses.

@Haywood D'Jableauxmi
Sounds like a sweet deal to me. Free room and board, someone to do your laundry, not to mention choose you outfits (that a three hour hassle I can do without each morning). How do I get a reservation?

Seeing as this has been bumped. I will give you his last words to me.

Believe this. In my business, you are less than a bug. BMG spends over
$120 million a year on advertising. Do you get it now? Or are you so
dumb that I have to spell it out word by word?

Please take your head out of your butthole and breath the air in the
real world. Like I said, don't write again. I can't help every deluded
hack who thinks they've got something when they haven't.

At great risk to my sanity, I just read this one beginning to end. ROFLMAO doesn't begin to cover it! Actually, it's sad in a way, because now I realize that I will probably never ever be nearly as good as you guys.

Serious question: It's now late January 2006, and I wonder if this is still true:

Quote:

Calling +447031968197 now calls Barr Kojo in Ghana, the stupidest, most long-winded mugu in Africa! Keep that number handy for your lads!
...
Anyway, these two numbers now ALSO redirect to Barr Kojo:

+44703 184 4922
+44703 184 0125

I've been putting off people that ask for my phone number, and I'd be happy to refer people to my on-site barrister.

Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 7:37 pm

AFAIK, those numbers are still valid. You can give them out one at a time until Barrister Kojo replies! Very Happy

Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 7:11 pm

@Shrek:

Thanks,

With your permission, I'll use these UK redirection numbers as throw-away baits, as in, "I hate you, you (#)$#)#) scammer, but unfortunately I don't have the time to torture you the way you deserve, so I'm just going to give you an expensive call to make and then forget you. If it annoys Barrister Kojo too, so much the better."

If you have some cheap or even free way to set up these redirections, why not have a constant supply of such, so that we can have mugus calling each other via the UK all the time?

Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:19 pm

You are welcome to do it yourself. Just use:

www.vopiuser.org
www.dmclub.net
www.open-telecom.co.uk

It's easy, it's fun and it's a worthwhile thing to do! Very Happy
