I think it would be interesting to pursue the book illustration possibility. Perhaps there is a publisher in Niamey that would like to meet with them. I feel as if the lads may be more willing to travel if they are doing something different with a high chance of making money. Also, if they are convinced that their drawings are brilliant, it could motivate them more; in my experience lads love being complimented.

Maybe one of Roger's co-workers, in the marketing department, can offer them some bonus money for detailed illustrations of the Niamey HQ!

That of course will require the lads to come and visit. Pictures could not possibly do justice to their art.

Obviously this lad likes to draw, but a splash of colour wouldn't go amiss.

I'd be sending them back as black and whites are not allowed under some obscure company rule. The pictures also need to be signed and dated.

Great baiting

Roger tells the lad that the finance department is reviewing his paperwork:

Quote:

I wish to inform you that the finance department review of your second sworn statement paper work is under way. I will pass along your contact informations to Mr Hilts so he can get in torch with you directly about transferring your compensation fund once your paper work is excepted. Is it ok with you if I give your email address to Mr Hilts?

The lad wants to wait until the review is done:

Quote:

Thanks for your response and your update.

Regarding your question, I suggested to wait for the financial
department to finish reviewing our second paper work. Mr Dennis Rodman
CEO of the GPS Company advised me to work with you directly.

Fine by me, it just delays things by a couple more days.

I think little Franklin is a little scared of bringing in any new people, considering that there have been 5 or 6 GPS employees now that have tried to steal his package after learning about its contents. Very Happy

On the scan of the Monday Market, Maidaguiri, there appears to be some writing ghosted through from the back, can anyone make out what it says? Is it incriminating in any way? (or can be taken as such?)

So, what happens if Mr. Hilts needs to ask questions of tiny Franklin? Having Roger as an intermediary could cause problems. Twisted Evil

^^It's the back of the sign that they used in the first round of forms they filled out on page 8. You know, their singed sworn statement.

Hi,

Been lurking and watching this since the lads first safari, it totally blew my mind. I always knew about baiting but this!!!
Feel like I had to sign up and join in!
I probably don't need to state this but I noticed it hasn't been raised,
One of rogers earlier messages stated that if the package isn't lost, which it isn't, then they won't get that part of the compensation.
Surely now they should be offered a pitiful sum for their travels due to lack of receipts or.....Go get that package!!! Laughing

Keep up the good work, I have this page bookmarked on all devices!

Roger tells the lad that the second set of paperwork has been accepted:

Quote:

I have good news! The second sworn statement paper work singed by you and Mr Eric has been excepted by our finance department! Now, with your permission, I will have Mr Hilts get in torch with you directly to make the proper arrangements for your compensation transfer. Mr Hilts will also give you the details on how much your compensation package will be. Can I give your email to Mr Hilts?

Hilts will make contact on Monday.

Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2016 2:07 am

Big X, I'm loving this bait. You are a real pro sir.

Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2016 5:17 pm

^ Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I've been deliberately drawing things out as much as possible, but we're getting to the end of the complaints department angle, and we'll have the lads on the move again soon enough.

The lad agrees to let Hilts contact him:

Quote:

Thank you for your mail and your updates.
Honestly, we are grateful to hear the good news from the financial
department and i appreciate all your efforts in this matter.

Of course, you can give our email address to Mr. Hilts as you
suggested. I wait to hear from Mr Hilts. Thanks for your time and your
understanding in this matter.

Have a pleasant weekend.

It always amuses me how polite these lads are. Laughing

I think they are getting excited about their payday. Brother Eric writes to Dan:

Quote:

Hello Brother Dan,

How are you and sister Betty's health condition at the moment? I hope
she is feeling better now. I am very sorry that you have not heard
from me for sometimes, i intended to update you once we finalize with
the compensation issue with the GPS company.

I wish to inform you the good news from Mr. Roger Bartlett, the GPS customer complaints department that our second paper work has
been approved by the financial department of the GPS company.

Mr. Roger Bartlett also said that he will give my email address to
their financial department to contact us on how to transfer the funds.
We are waiting for the compensation funds to make sure we give the
orphans happiness as your beloved wife requested.

We are still praying for your beloved wife to recover back her
strength. Honestly, it's only prayers we can use to back up your wife
as we care for her. We always pray to God to look after you and your
wife every day. I believe that God will guide and protect both of you
at this point.

I gave you all the assurance that we will make sure that your beloved
wife have peace of mind after all the things that has happened in the
past. I will update you once we finalize this issue.

Have a good time and my regards to sister Betty.

Regards.

Brother Eric

I am very excited to know that they will be getting paid soon, but I fear what might happen to Betty if anything were to go wrong. It's a good thing Roger is involved. I have total confidence in him. Razz

I think Betty is probably beginning to smell by now Smile

Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2016 8:33 pm

If poor old Betty finally croaks, I wonder if the lads might agree to have their payout go to a scholarship fund being created in Betty's name? clapping

I still think, that a last will from betty would motivate them to do virtually anything including ridiculous forms.

and as posted earlier: they should tattoo sister bettys face onto their bodies

@Big X - I love how polite these lads always are. It makes me warm to them probably far too much. Very Happy

I love the documents. I would like an explanation about that fancy tennis racket that Mr. Eric's Late Father is holding.

NSFW or dinner time.

Quote:

...in Ghana, friends and relatives make enormous contributions to funerals, which are often huge affairs. It's unlikely that Franklin's father would remain unburied.

In most African countries the body isn't released for burial until all debts are satisfied, including mortuary services and hospital bills - even personal loans in some places. If his family or even entire community is extremely poor, it can take months to raise the money (even tho all they need is a wood box - vaults aren't used in "common" burials). As for refrigeration, it's rudimentary at best and not the norm. Usually the mortician just shoots a bit of formaldehyde into any parts that are getting... squishy. The family may "visit" the deceased at any time. So it's possible that dad was a bit odiferous before internment. (/end mind dandruff)

Roger passes the lad to Hilts:

Quote:

Great! I will pass your email address to Mr Hilts, and he will take you threw the next step of the compensation precess. Please do let me know if their is anything else I can help you with, but if not, I hope you have been satisfied with my service, and I hope you will continue to choose GPS in the future for all your shipping needs!

The lad is pleased with Roger:

Quote:

Thanks for your response and your concerns.
Once again, we thank you so much for your services. God will reward
you in abundantly.

Honestly, we'll continue using GPS company in any of our
shipment in the future. I wish to to inform you that i received an
email from Mr. Virgil Hilts from the financial department and i
responded back to him respectful.

I think it is hilarious that the lads claim they will use our fake company again, after we have put them through so much trouble. You really found some amazing lads, Mr L. Laughing

Hilts gets in touch:

Quote:

Hi there, my name is Virgil Hilts, and I am the finance director at GPS . Roger Bartlett gave me your email so I could take you through the rest of the compensation process.

Can you please confirm some details for me, so I can be sure I am reaching the correct person? What is the name of the person who sent your package to you, and where did you travel to pick it?

The lad answers the challenge questions:

Quote:

Thanks for your mail and your updates. Yes, you are reaching the right
person as Mr. Roger Bartlett directed you.

Regarding your questions, the sender of the package is Mr & Mrs
Hamilton from the United States.

Secondly, we traveled to Cote d Ivoire and Nigeria to pickup the
package, before we passed through hardships in our failed trips.

I look forward to hearing from you soonest.

Hilts will ask for a few more things tomorrow.

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 3:14 am

Hilts offers the lads $80,000:

Quote:

Excellent, I have confirmed your identity, so now we can discuss your compensation payment. I have reviewed your paper work and everything appears to be in order.

Mr Obi, the company is prepared to make you a very generous compensation settlement offer. Based on your testimonial in the paper work, we believe you are entitled to $80,000.00 USD in compensation. We arrived at this number after considering the mental duress and physical hardship you experienced on your journeys to pick the package, as well as the misconduct of GPS employees that led to this regrettable situation.

If you accept this settlement, you will need to sign a release that you will not give suit against the company for any claims arising from your case. Do you accept the compensation? Please let me know your decision as soon as possible.

The lads accept:

Quote:

Thanks for your kind response.

Hilts will have another form for him tomorrow.

Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 3:40 am

Hilts tells the lad that there is a release form to fill out:

Quote:

Excellent! I am very pleased that you are going to accept the company's generous offer. It shows that you are being very reasonable about this.

I will have our legal department draw up the paper work for the release, and I will send it to you. Once you have singed the release, then we can finalize the settlement and transfer your compensation to you. Please let me know if their is anything else I can do for you at this time.

The lad agrees to do it:

Quote:

Thank you for your mail and your understanding.
We are OK with the offer and your services, i appreciate it. I wait
for the paper work to sign as you requested.

Once again, we thank you for your time and your efforts in this matter.

I'm going to make him hand-write another sworn statement. Very Happy
