So I've got this lad who convinced me to go to South Africa... then he realised (after i'd bought the ticket) that he lives in Nigeria and can't afford to go to South Africa. So after admitting that he lied (in a really slimey, ladish way) he convinced me to change my ticket. Unfortunately the best flight I could get was to Accra, Ghana not Lagos, Nigeria as they were all full at such late notice.
So he obviously isn't over the moon about this and is complaining he can't afford to get there, but still wants gifts. So he sends me this today:

What does this mean?
He's a catcher and there's someone higher up the food chain who will organise to pick me up?
Btw, it's a puppy scam. |

The phone number is a mobile in Nigeria. Probably another lad that your lad has offered a cut of the take. Bit odd for a puppy scam, unless they are planning something unpleasant. |

^^^ My thinking is that it (a meeting in Ghana) is a bit beyond my lad, he has really bad english (often I can't understand his emails at all) and is pretty much crap at everything he has tried to do (i mean really crap). So he has passed me on to another lad who can afford to do what needs to be done etc. He also thinks I'm hot and wants me for 'love and body'.
Perhaps I'm moving up the food chain? |

Probably not moving up the food chain.
You gotta remember just how organised the lads are. They network like crazy. You're either being set up for a meeting with a "cousin" or another gang member that has worked with your lad's gang before.
When I've played at being a scammer I've quite often found that the lad I'm trying to convince has contacts in a suprising number of countries.
From an Ivorian Coast lad:

If you are in lagos give me your offer and your number,I have bros that will meet with you right,if then you are not at lag,then it will be on phone or the only person I have in accra which is cousin. |

I'd say that he is preparing a welcome party for you with his associates in Ghana.
Whether they are relatives or just another gang, you really don't want to find out face to face.
I once had a laddie who I could place in Nigeria, but he swore blind to me that he was in Athens.
He even gave me his hotel details, and they did, check out.
Who was waiting for me at that hotel, I'll never know, but somebody was. |

Red don't say no safari yet. It is amazing how many times planes get rerouted or you get on the wrong plane and end up on the other side of the country. |

He's all over the place this one, never can do anything right, and now he's telling me he will come personally. Well, naturally I'm confused as anything, but hopefully so is he!

You could always drop the whole puppy idea and tell him you've decided that since you've booked your air tickets you may as well bring the money to invest 'offshore' in Ghana anyway because the taxman is after you and you have a rapacious creditor/ex who wants to be paid his/her share of your substantial assets.
If you can convince him that either way you are arriving with a sack full of cash he's going to be interested. |

^^^ I'm bringing $60,000 for 35 puppies (which he thinks is for 1 puppy all of sudden... as if!)... should be enough cash to get him there I think. Although today he sent this:

How far will he need to travel?? If it's particularly far I doubt it, he'll just get one of his associates to travel. That's probably who the photo is of. |

@ Josh - Lagos - Accra (after many troubles convincing him... which leads me to suspect you're right, an associate in accra will meet me).
Current IP: 41.204.224.25
Hopefully that will change.
@ thefife - damn right! Can you imagine the cheek of the lad? He is incredibly average in the brains department this one. I tried, unsuccessfully, for weeks to get him to fill out some forms for me.
He kept sending me weights and heights for every animal known to man (except for puppies).
I'm talking blue whales, elephants, kangaroos... you name it, he sent it. This went on for so long I got entirely fed up with him not understanding that the form I sent him simply needs to be filled out and sent back... so I figured... bugger it, safari time. |

Sounds like you've a hilarious bait going there Red. While it's unlikely he'll safari you've still wasted an awful lot of his time. And in the end, even if it's an associate you're messing up at least one lad's day, hanging around waiting for you, then having to call his mate to say you didn't show up. |

That pics looks like a footballer/actor from a magazine photoshoot or publicity shot. It's way too slick for a lad, especially one as dumb as yours. Anyway, what about some pics of those cute puppies? Obviously you need a sign with the date on it. You've heard about about these puppy scammers so you need to be careful about who you are about to hand over all that cash to. |
