Plans and props are currently being made for what will hopefully be Mr K's Safari No 3.

Wonderful thread here! I like to imagine that if I had more time (i.e. "not so lazy"), I could do something like this. But, I fear, that one must be born with such talent.

^^ Lou, safari baiting is something anyone can learn. Did you read the Safari Baiting Thread in Eater University? There are a few tricks to learn in there. It does take much more time than a regular bait, and timing during the bait is crucial. You have to be available when the lad lands at his destination. Planning is critical here. Having co-baiters in different timezones can help, too. But all of it is supported by excellent straight baiting skills. Not every lad will travel, and not all lads will go on multiple safaris, either. Getting a lad like Mr. Kelvin here is mostly luck. Bait long enough and a special pet like Alex here will eventually arrive into your inbox. Smile

Lou, what SlapHappy says is absolutely correct. You can do it, if you want to and you put your mind to it.

Before I signed up here, I had experience of wasting the time of telemarketing companies and other wind-ups but nil of scambaiting. I’ve picked it all up here on this remarkable site.

I'd like to take this opportunity to invite any 'lurkers' out there to join us. Lads seem to proliferate year on year and our community needs you.

On account of the above posts, I'd like to offer my assistance in dealing some proper pain.

Hello Malcolm. I'm all ears...

^^^^^^^^^
I think that every baiter here (well those in orange for certain) would happily aid /assist in ANY safari

FYI for any newbies - whatever the task, if you don't have a mentor, well just ask any premium member for help and I'd predict it would be given freely as long as it in involved lad pain in extremis Very Happy

I didn't see any update on the photoshop part, so I thought I'd throw in my offer if you are still in need, even as a backup - I work from home Smile

Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 12:50 am

Thanks, Malcolm. That’s very kind of you. Not wanting to keep bothering José, I eventually did find someone to do some advanced PhotoShop work for this Bait.

What I am seeking though, is someone who is experienced at building websites, and would be prepared to build a basic but convincing 3-4 page site without charge. Within the next few weeks there will be a need of such a site for baiting purposes.

My offer still stands in that case Smile

Great Stuff! I'll send you a PM shortly, with fuller info. Thanks.

I hope to resume Daily Updates from tomorrow (Monday) evening.

“Are you with us, Mr Kelvin?” The words shot across the classroom. Alex was sat by the window, gazing out into the distance. His eyes glazed over, he was obviously thinking deeply about something other than his tutorial. His tutor, Miss Lucy was becoming irritated with him. First he went absent without leave during term time for over a fortnight. When he returned, he looked like a scarecrow. That was a few weeks ago and now here he was again, not concentrating on his studies. “Sorry, ma’am” mumbled Alex, redirecting his gaze to the whiteboard at the front.

DEPARTURE DAY MINUS ‘?’ – MAKING PLANS

Alex had been thinking about the 2 e.mails he had read during his lunch period. One from Ed Robins...

Quote:

Dear Mr Keivin,

Thank you for your e.mail. If you check your Tracking Number LY5264XXXXXXGB online at the AllStar website you will see that your consignment is now at the Nigeria Mail Hub. I have asked the Manager, Mr Steve Attar, to contact you.

There does seem to be one slight misunderstanding. You mention Abuja. Abuja is the location of our West Africa Regional Manager, Mr Ogbonna. There is no Mail Hub there. Mr Ogbonna simply has a ‘home office’ in his compound.

We site our Mail Hubs outside of capital or very busy cities, because the flight landing fees are so expensive at the main airports. For example, that is why we chose Parakou, rather than Cotonou, for the location of our Benin operation. The landing fees in Parakou are less than half of that in Cotonou. The same principle applies in Nigeria. Lagos and Abuja airports attract heavily expensive landing fees.

Anyway, Steve Attar should be in contact with you tomorrow (Friday) concerning collection. Steve is African-American and has been with the company for about 8 years now. After 7 years in our HQ here in USA, he transferred to Nigeria. Steve’s father is Moroccan and his Mother from USA. Steve says that this gives him a unique advantage over other American AllStar staff in Africa, since although he left Morocco whilst still very young, he considers himself a native of both continents!

I know Steve well from his time with AllStar here in the US, and he is a complete professional. He is personally handling your consignment. There will be no drivers or middle-men between you and Steve Attar. He will supply you with a full street address and a recent photo of the Nigeria AllStar building.

I have e.mailed Steve the scan of your Nigerian Driver’s Licence. It is imperative that you take this with you when you collect. Steve will only release the consignment to the holder of the Licence, whose face must also match that on the Licence.

Finally, please rest assured that Steve and I have spoken extensively about this consignment and he is well aware of your previous difficulties. You may expect nothing but a perfectly smooth and uneventful collection from Steve. I assure you that you will shortly be united with your consignment.

Respectfully,

Ed Robins
Head of Customer Support
AllStar Priority Shipping

To which Alex gratefully replied:

Quote:

FAREWELL AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON EST

Dear Mr.ED Robins,

I really thanks and appreciate your good effort for a work well done OK.so am still awaiting his mail and address

I will always update you concerning the transaction and i pray that God Almighty will keep you alive and strong to direct and manage your office in Jesus name Amen.

Best Regards
Mr.Alex Kelvin

...and one from this ‘Steve Attar’ character that Robins had mentioned...

Quote:

Hi Mr. Alex,

I am writing to introduce myself. I am Steve Attar and I am Depot Manager at AllStar Nigeria. Mr. Ed Robins himself has commanded me to contact you with details of your consignment.

I am now very aware of the earlier difficulties that you have faced and I am sorry for it. I have personally taken charge of this matter and you will be dealing directly with me. There will be no staff in between us to complicate the issue.

In addition, I am now providing you with the full street address of the Nigeria Depot together with a photo of it. Furthermore, I attach a photo of your consignment in the very van that I used to collect it and other mail from the airport. It is very rare that I go and collect mail, but in your case, Mr. Robins instructed me to handle it personally, every step of the way. I unpacked your package for the camera and in the close-up photo you can see all 3 of the cash packets; the £1,000 GBP is inside the silver foil on top of the radio; the $84,000 Benin Dollars are in the larger brown envelope; the $3,000 USD from Mr Robins is in the smaller envelope.

As I type this, your cash is locked in my iron safe, here in my office. The safe is made from 2" thick cast iron, and is bolted into the concrete floor and wall with 10” steel bolts. I have personally changed the combination to secure this valuable consignment and only 2 people have the new combination: myself and Mr. Ed Robins. In addition, none of my staff know that it is there. Please rest assured that your consignment is completely safe here at the Nigeria AllStar Mail Hub. The radio would not fit inside the safe (since it has a steel shelf in the middle) so it is locked inside my personal staff locker.

I am African-American and have a very good understanding of the possible risks in travelling across Nigeria with such a large amount of cash. I have discussed with Mr. Robins the issue of your security whilst travelling back to Edo State. Mr. Robins has commanded that you should be driven all the way to Ekpoma by a secure taxi car service. There is one driver here that sometimes works for us when we are short-handed. He is 100% reliable and I will personally contract him to drive you to your door. He will not know what you are carrying, merely that you are an AllStar VIP. He has a sign-written taxi and a government permit, so travelling home with him will be risky free, and you will avoid public transport, or any officials raising their eyebrow at you at roadblocks, etc.

What you need to do now is plan when you will be arriving here. I will personally ensure that I am here to greet you and sign over your consignment. You must bring Photo ID with you. I will NOT release the consignment otherwise. I am aware from my colleague Mr. Sanda of the imposter in Ghana.

Please note that this week I am working the 12 midday to 12 midnight shift, with 2 breaks during the day. Next week, I am working the 10 a.m to 10 p.m shift. I usually have Wednesdays off work, so that is not a good day to come

When you get to the city, you may either e.mail me to pick you, or find a taxi and ask them to bring you here. Please see the photo of our compound. The Nigeria Mail Hub is one of the biggest in Africa. It is right on the main road and it cannot be missed. You may like to print the photo and bring it with you. Here is our street address:

AllStar Nigeria
Central Mail Hub
Lagos Road
Kano City
Nigeria

Well Sir, I much look forward to hearing from you soon. Remain Blessed.

Yours faithfully,

Steven Attar
Depot Manager
AllStar Nigeria Mail Hub

And here are the 3 pics:

Massive thanks to acoustic_fidelity for his sterling PhotoShop work on this pic of the building

windypops was quite correct in affirming (on p15) that the monies and CD Player were real. Here they are, fresh from Kano airport, in Steve Attar's AllScam van...

...and these 2 pics have not been PhotoShopped.

Alex fires back his response to Steve Attar:

Quote:

I NEED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS........AM AFRAID FOR THE THIRD TIME

Good Day Mr.S Attar,

Sorry for the late response due to i travel for weekend.
It is my privilege to reply your mail,and the content was well understood OK,so i want you to know that am deeply afraid to embark for another third journey for my package collection but due to the high risk of the suffering experience from Benin during two weeks on the street.

Meanwhile,Kano is another norther part of Nigeria as well as parakou due to the high sun weather condition.

But nevertheless i want you to mail me your Quarter name,Street Name and Number of your House(office) with especially your Phone number for easily identification and location because with my past experience of allstars agent ,am 100% afraid to embark on this journey OK.

Mr.Attar,i want you to also know that your phone number is going to do me more usefulness once i get to kano because i really does not plan and hope again to be lying straight on the street once i get to kano because kano is a very long distance from Edo state.

As i wrote you this mail now am very confuse and frustrated due to the fact of all that happens in Ghana and Benin meanwhile as a matter of fact my purpose for the money is fast approaching and am left with nothing at this very moment to transport myself to meet you in Kano,so all i plead with you is to grant my request and for me to look on how to raise money for transportation in other to get my consignment this month.

Thanks and await your urgent response.

Alex Kelvin

Now, here is something to savour. Do you remember ‘Vik', the ‘Good Samaritha’ (GS)? This was the second man in Parakou that took him in and helped him with money, a phone, and a bed? Well, The Monsignor was to send £70 GBP to Parakou in the GS’ name, as only Beninian nationals may collect WU payments there. Part of the £70 GBP was to fund Alex’ journey up to see Brian Stalin in Djougou and then back to Nigeria with the loot. A small amount was to repay the GS. With me so far?

Well, once Alex got back home courtesy of the GS’ handout, Alex emailed the Priest and asked him to immediately cancel the payment to the GS and divert it to himself in Nigeria. Why? Well, he was home now and he had decided on a 'better’ way to repay the GS’ generosity. He emailed Brian Stalin, the Temporary AllScam Manager in Benin, and – get this – asked him to send his cash to him, but the portable CD Player (UK model, useless in Benin) to the GS in Parakou, as full repayment for the loan, the WU payment, and the phone, which Alex had taken home with him. Despicable.

Back to the present...Clearly wanting some money to take him to Kano and in case of any potential (ahem) ‘problems’ whilst up there, Alex fires off no less than ELEVEN e.mails to the mugu Monsignor Priest, asking for £70 GBP via Western Union to fund his trip to Kano. Here are a few extracts:

Quote:

Mr.Monsignor,With due respect i look forward to get the payment information today as fast as possible because the management of the company now is not willing and ready to give me money to embark on the journey again so all my hope lies in your hands to get this packages collected in other for your 8,000GBPO loan fund transfer asap.

Quote:

In regards to the content of your mail,i want you to know and understand that am not impress with the ways you react because you said that you have spent up to 2000GBP into this transaction but as you can see yourself that even a token 1GBP has not yet been confirm by this company (too true, old son) so what exactly did you mean???

Quote:

This is to let you know now that i have receive a mail from the allstars office here in Nigeria at Kano ok,so i want you to know that Kano state is like far back as parakou (Northern Nigeria) (why do you think I chose it, Alex?).

I have reply back to Mr.Attar the manager and i request for full information of Quarter Name,Street Name and office number as well as Phone number because without their office number so that once i get to Kano i can call am not ready to take another third risk journey again because where am going i don't have any relations and relative over there ,i dont plan and hope to sleep in the streets again ok.

Meanwhile the management stated that you are now to send the 70GBP for the transportation due to another long far journey from Edo State to Kano State 9:45hours.

So you are hereby notice and informed that without you sending the transportation fees to the company am not permitted to go back to Kano for the collection of the package.

Act fast. (I am, but not in the way he thinks)

Worse still (and here you have to marvel at his audacity), he tries to work a different scam on me:

Quote:

WE NEED YOUR HELP..........CREDIT CARDS INFORMATION NEEDED ASAP TODAY OK

Dear Mr.Monsignor,

We want you to help us with your friend Paypal(CREDIT CARD) information because we have a new client who intend to send money to us via Credit card today ok,

so we requires that you send us the information so that immediately the money is been send to it you can pick it up and resend it back to us via western union ok.

Thanks and await the information asap
Mr.Randy T

Cheeky, cheeky tw@t!

So dear readers, there it is. The AllStar Nigeria Mail Hub or bust.

Considerable thought and planning has been going into this, which will be his third Safari. Please be assured that an EXPLOSIVE finale awaits him in Kano.

Rest well, Alex. Rest well...

Monsignor,
I am awestruck with this thread. Can't wait for the next installment.
To celebrate another safari with Alex I just became a premium member.

I'm eagerly anticipating fulfilling my promise if you get this pile of manure to travel again. But I have to admit, you've got him well and firmly hooked. I think a trip to Kano is a given.

Nice photoshops.
The fact that the idiot made a move to scam you using you to do money laundering is evidence that he deserves all you can throw at him. Give him hell. And if there is anything i can do to further his suffering just ask.

Thanks for the opportunity, TM! Being able to contribute to this Safari means a lot to me!

That said, do let me know if there's any more 'shopping to be done - it's been quite a while since I so gleefully erased and twisted pixels Laughing

I never doubted you for a second. Wink

Goody. Another furlough in the gutter for Alex on the TM charabanc. Hope he packs a cardboard box, shoe and plenty of "paste" this time. Laughing

*Edit to add* Getting a lad to travel this time of year is an extra plus. As I mentioned before, they are entering Harmattan season and it's miserable in the extreme. I've spoken to lads on the phone about it and they hate it. When the wind is low it looks like smog and breathing is difficult. At high wind speed it's like being sand blasted. Doing nothing is hard work during this time of year. Alex is really going to suffer hardship if he is forced to sleep outside again.
