Quote:

Ok I went to western union and tried to send you the money and they told me that due to the large sum of money and the country that you live in you must either fill out a short and simple western union security form(see attachment) or we could also do a bank transfer if you don't want to fill out the form.

I attached WU_US Security form.pdf
He then sent me this

Quote:

ATTENTION MR HANK HILL
THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR MAIL AND IT IS WELL NOTED.BUT I WANT YOU KNOW THAT THIS IDEAL OF FILLING A WESTERN UNION FORM YOU FORWARD TO ME IS NOT ACCEPTED BY ME BECAUSE I HAVE GO THROUGH IT AND SOME OF THE TERMS THERE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT.SO FILLING THE FORM WILL BE DEFFICULT TO ME AND I WILL PREPARE THAT YOU MAKE THE PAYMENT THROUGH BANK TRANSFER IF THAT IS THE CASE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT HERE FOR A JOKE OR IN ANY CHILDISH PLAY BECAUSE I AM A VERY BUSY MAN SO IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT READY TO SEND THE MONEY YOU BETTER LET ME KNOW SO THAT I WILL WITHDRAW FROM THIS SO THAT I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME.BUT IF REALLY YOU ARE READY TO BUY THE ITERM YOU NEED THEN I WILL ADVICE YOU TO SEND THE MONEY THROUGH THIS FOLLOWING BANK INFORMATION AND LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY YOU MAKE THE PAYMENT TO THE ACCOUNT.

SO I WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU SOONEST.
THANKS.
MR YAYA EBE.

I then sent him this

Quote:

Ok I tried to go to the bank and for some reason they said the account you send me is invalid. I found that very strange. Also I apologize for the Western Union form I sent you. Western union just gave it to me and I should have read it before sending it to you. If I would have saw what was on it I would have asked for a different form but It is too late now. I think bank transfer is more secure anyways.

At that point in the bait I cared more about getting another piggy and I wanted him to invest more time in me before he fills out the form (he will later)
He then sent me this email

Quote:

ATTENTION MR HANK HILL

I WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR MAIL AND IT IS WELL NOTED.I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE ACCOUNT INFORMATION I GAVE TO YOU IS CORRECT BUT I AM VERY CONFUSED WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT YOUR BANK SAID IT IS INVALID.

ANY WAY FOR ME NOT TO WASTE MUCH OF OUR TIME BECAUSE I WANT THIS TO DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO I AM GIVEN YOU ANOTHER BANK ACCOUNT OF MY OFFICE TO MAKE THE PAYMENT AND LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY YOU MAKE THE PAYMENT TO THIS VERY BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION.
SO BELLOW IS THE BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO MAKE THE PAYMENT.

BANK NAME: BANQUE COMMERCIALE DU BURKINA
RECEIVER NAME: OKORO OSCAR OMOROGBE
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 55610833001
IBAN: BF51C00560100505561083300122
CODE BIC: BNCFBFBF
Cle RIB: 22
BANQUE CODE: BF056
CODE GUICHET: 01005
DOMICILIATION: OUAGADOUGOU 01

I tried to recreate the fact that he made the bank info bold and with a large font
I delayed 2 days and sent him

Quote:

I went to two different banks and you what happened. They would not let me send you the money. Why is that. You know how much time you wasted with that so called real bank info. I begged them to try to transfer it but they won't let me. Western union would let me transfer the money if you fill out the form they gave me. I have attached it. If you can't fill it out the deal is off.

I attached WU_US Security form.pdf again to be sure he has it.
Then after 3 days I get this reply

Quote:

ATTENTION MR HANK HILL
PLEASE I AM VERY SORRY FOR MY DELAY RESPOND TO YOU AS YOU CAN SEE I AM A VERY BUSY MAN.SO FIND BELLOW THE ATTACHED FILL FORM OF THE WESTERN UNION.
WAITING YOUR REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THANKS.
MR YAYA EBE.

In that email he attached the same page 2 twice instead of page 1 so he quickly sent another email with the correct contents and no message here is the forms

WEST2.JPG

WEST3.JPG

WEST4.JPG

Here is where things get interesting

Quote:

Good news. Western union has accept the form. I have already given the MTCN to your assistant.

Quote:

After 2 days of silence from me he sent me

Quote:

ATTENTION MR HANK HILL
I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM STILL WAITING TO RECEIVED THE PAYMENT SLIP FROM YOU.SO MAKE SURE YOU SEND ME THE PAYMENT SLIP IMMEDIATELY.
THANKS.
MR HANK HILL

I then replied to his "reminder"

Quote:

Just before you send this email your assistant also asked for the payment. Also it is not your assistant Tom Hank it is your assistent Abaeze Mobolaji his email address is: ***EMAIL REMOVED*** I told him about you and he said he was your assistant that helps with deliveries and it was his task to get the money from western union and send it to you.

I then got this reply

Quote:

ATTENTION MR HANK HILL
THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL IT IS WELL NOTED.SINCE YOU SAID YOU SEND THE MONEY TO MY ASSISTANT Abaeze Mobolaji. PLEASE SEND ME THE PAYMENT SLIP SO THAT I WILL COMFIRM THAT YOU REALLY SEND THE MONEY TO MY Abaeze Mobolaji.
THANKS.
MR YAYA EBE

You can tell that he copy paste'd the name
A day later after hearing nothing from me he is really panicking

Quote:

FORWAD TO MR .YAYA EBE FOR ME TO COMFARM DON’T EVER DO MISTAKE FOR THIS OK.

MR HANK HILL

I then told him

Quote:

Abaeze Mobolaji said he already cashed it and is waiting for you to send him an email at *** EMAIL REMOVED *** so that you can get the money. He says you can also try calling him at *** K7 PHONE NUMBER REMOVED *** if it is an emergency.

After reading this next reply you will think he is on to me but I still manage to keep things going

Quote:

ATTENTION MR HANK HILL

I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT A SERIOUS MAN BUT A JOKER AND I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO WASTE WITH A JOKER LIKE YOU.I TOLD YOU TO SEND ME THE PAYMENT SLIP IF REALLY YOU SEND THE MONEY AS YOU SAID AND YOU ARE TELLING ME OTHER THINGS Abaeze Mobolaji WHO IS THIS PERSON?? DO I KNOW HIM?? DO NOT WASTE MY TIME.

I then sent him this reply I think this is a small mistake on my part but he does not seem to notice

Quote:

He told me he is your assistant. That is all I know. Do you want him to send you an email?

To me it makes it too obvious that I am one person playing two people but he does not seem to notice for very long.

Quote:

MR HANK HILL
LISTEN I DO NOT KNOW THAT PERSON AND BESIDE I AM NOT FORCING YOU OR BEGGING YOU TO SEND ANY MONEY TO ME.YOU ONLY NEEDED A HELP WHICH I HAVE AGREE TO HELP YOU AND I NEVER DO ANY BUSINESS WITH YOU AND IF YOU THINK YOU WANT TO PLAY GAME WITH ME YOU ARE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME BECAUSE AFTER THIS MAIL I WILL NOT WRITE YOU AGAIN OK.
GOODBYE

This is not goodbye for you there is more fun to have.
With me other email I sent him this
Subject: hank hill is mine

Quote:

i pretend to be u assistant to get money. it is all mine but i will give you 25% if you help me.

After reading his reply you will think he on to me but I so convince him that I am two different people here is his response

Quote:

SEE LISTEN MR HANK HILL WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELF I AM NOT READY TO WASTE MY TIME WITH JOKER LIKE YOU PEOPLE.NOW YOU ARE GIVEN ME 25% FOR WHAT REASON DO I DO ANY BUSINESS WITH YOU.

I sent him this reply

Quote:

cause i already cash money i guymen just like you i live in nigeria and do 419. i no joker if you give me huge email list of muga i give 25%.

What I am trying to do is convince him to give me emails of people that he has scammed so I can send them a warning email address about 419 scammers. I did not meet my goal sadly if you have any suggestions on how to improve this bait please reply to this topic
Here is the reply I got

Quote:

Right from the start i know you are guy man and it is my friend who is worry that i must continue with you if not I could have stop with you since any way you are giving 25% in what purpose and how?

I just got "Dr. Yaya Ebe" to admit he is a scammer now here is my response.

Quote:

u know you guymen too. i need huge list of email address of mugu westerners.

I hope this sounds lad like but I am not sure how close it is to their internal communication writing style.
He then sent me this

Quote:

HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY

u never sent me emails that respond to ur format y u no send them?
I sent him two emails back to back

Quote:

$75 if most don't bounce when i send format.

I though I would increase the price if they are very "good"

Quote:

i will up to $150 if dey good quality.

Here is his response

Quote:

SO HOW WILL YOU SEND IT TO ME BECAUSE I AM ON ONLINE NOW BRAZEEING AND IF YOU NEED IT NOW NOW I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU BUT I WILL NEED THE MONEY FIRST.LIKE HOW MANY THOUSAND

I sent him this

Quote:

no u send me emails i send check them then i do WUxfer to u price depends on quality how many respond to format.

He sent me two emails

Quote:

I AM JUST EXTRACTING MAIL SINCE MORNING TODAY I HAVE GATHER UP TO 5000,000 THAT I WANT TO SEND WITH MAILLLER SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY YOU NEED AND YOU WILL SEND ME THE MONEY FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING

Quote:

MY GUY I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU

I responded to the first email about extracting emails

Quote:

ok good but i don't trust you i need emails first i need proof that you are not joker. wat tools u use?

I got this in reply

Quote:

MY GUY I DO NOT LIKE SUCH WORD IF YOU DO NOT TRUST ME FORGET ABOUT IT BECAUDSE I WILL NOT SEND YOU EMAIL WITHOUT RECEIVEING MONEY FROM YOU OK

It appears that he is trying to do advanced fee fraud on what he believes to be another lad (he is asking for the money first) that is not going to work well.
I will now ask for proof that he is legit

Quote:

how about small sample of people who already respond to format. if dey respond to my format u get someu never sent me emails that respond to ur format y u no send them? money send me huge list u get full payment.

He still wants the money first

Quote:

my guy you said you need email send me the money and i will send you email

Here is my response

Quote:

u miss point i need proof u not just do wat u dey with mugu. wat happen if i send money and u do send nothing.

Basically what I mean by (above) is. I need proof that you are not just trying to do use the same tricks that you use with your victims.
Here is his response.

Quote:

MY GUY JUST TRUST ME I WILL NOT DO THAT NOW THAT WE UNDERSTAND OURSELF THAT BOTH OF US ARE THE SAME 419 PEOPLE SURELY I MUST FORWARD YOU THE EMAIL AS SOON AS YOU SEND THE MONEY TO ME ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST TO LET ME KNOW THE QUTITY OF THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU NEED THAT ALL

I sent this

Quote:

i still no trust. i hav good day anyways without u. deal is off unless u send sample of mugu emails that respond to u format.

I think I handled the (above) email wrong how could I have done it better?
And heard nothing sense then
A few days later I sent him a "reminder"

Quote:

u never sent me emails that respond to ur format y u no send them?

He did not respond.
Meanwhile while the above was going on I had another conversation going on with my main character hank hill
Subject: Sorry for losing the money
I sent the so called Dr. this at around this the time I sent him the first few emails as my other character (Abaeze)

Quote:

I am very angry right now I have just found out that I have been lied to by Abaeze Mobolaji he sent an email to me saying that he is not your assistant and that he took the money and ran with it. He is a scammer. I am very sorry for losing your money. I wish there is something I can do. He told me that he took all the money and there is no way for me to get it back. That was my savings I lost I will get payed next week so if you want to continue the deal I will send YOU the money and not some scammer who calls himself Abaeze.

Sadly I made the mistake of sending him this at the same times as I was responding to him as my other character he did not seem to notice
Here is his response

Quote:

YOU ALSO ARE IS A SCAMMER AND YOU THINK YOU CAN PLAY GAME WITH ME AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT I KNOW MORE BETTER AS YOU THINK.SEE LET ME TELL YOU IT IS ONE PERSON DOING ALL THIS AND I DO NOT THINK I HAVE MUCH TO WASTE WITH YOU BECAUSE I HAVE ALOT OF THING DOING AS YOU CAN SEE I AM A VERY BUSY PERSON.
SO PLEASE CUT THIS GAME OFF OK.

Here is my response

Quote:

Dr. Yaya Ebe,
I am very confused right now. Please clear this up for me. I am not a scammer. I got scammed by someone though and feel like shit right now. That someone is starting to become not one person (Abaeze) but also you. I feel cheated and lied to right now I am very angry.

Here is his response

Quote:

YOU ARE A FOOL DO I DO ANY BUSINESS WITH YOU

Here is my reply

Quote:

You know what maybe I am a fool I got scammed by someone on the internet who I have never met before I do feel like a fool. I am kicking myself right now. I feel so stupid right now for losing that money. I wish there was some way to punish Abaeze.

It seems apologies can go a long way with lads.
Here is his response

Quote:

That left for you

What he means is that it is my job to punish Abaeze not his.
At first I did not understand that is what he meant so I sent him this

Quote:

What do you mean?

Here is his response I am glad to see that he finally turned off caps lock

Quote:

i said all is left for you to do whatever you like with the peson who you claim you send your money to

To enhance his belief that I am not the same person playing two different people I sent him this

Quote:

I don't want to do anything with that evil scammer (Abaeze) ever again he told me I had a cousin that died and he left $500,000 in my name. He told me to use western union and I told them about the bad experience with western union how they made me give you a stupid form. Then he told me he was your assistant and the reason he found out about my lost cousin with $500,000 is because he was doing an audit on me. I feel very stupid right now why did I ever believe that I had a long lost cousin.

Here is his response and back to caps lock

Quote:

MR HANK HILL
SEE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE BUT IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A REAL MAN THAT YOU ARE NOT WHAT I THINK YOU ARE, THEN GO AND SEND THE MONEY IN THIS VERY NAME
RECEIVEER: MR TOM FRANK
COUNTRY: BURKINA FASO
CITY: OUAGADOUGOU
QUESTION: HOW
SECRET ANWERS: FINE
NOTED THAT I WILL NOT TAKE ANY EXCUSES FROM YOU AND IF YOU CAN NOT SEND THE MONEY FORGET ABOUT ME AND MY SERVICES TO YOU OK.
THANKS
MR YAYA EBE

At this point there is not much more that I can do as "Hank Hill" so I sent him

Quote:

Dr. Yaya Ebe,
I am currently writing to you after work because my boss at Strickland propane will not allow me to communicate with you anymore. He assigned me to buy some propane and propane accessories and he says that I have already failed him. My boss advised me not to talk to you again even though I know that you are an honest person. I am sorry but this is the last email that I will write you.
Sincerely,
Hank Hill

I may be getting what appears to be a recovery scam from someone I am not sure if it is him.

Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2013 10:46 am

Enjoyed this! Very clever idea to get hold of some of the lad's victims.

You got forms printed, filled and re-scanned! Twisted Evil

Some of his answers were worth a grin:

Eye color: Blue Rolling Eyes

How many people know about this transaction: nobody<scratch> One
He got sort of carried away with the "NO"s on Page 2
Name of sender: NO, How much money: NO, etc.

Just a guess, but I think asking him for an email list gave the lad the impression that "Abaeze" was just a wanna-be scammer or a very young kid, hence the "send money first, trust me, we're both 419" attempt.

Noticed Hank and the guyman both used the same phrase to call the lad's bluff: "deal is off". When Hank first said it, the lad eventually came crawling back in submissive mode "PLEASE I AM VERY SORRY..." (albeit 3 days later). Maybe it stuck in his mind then when the guyman said the same thing it helped him twig? He does sound like he's been baited before.

I recently pulled off my first dolla chop on a Nigerian lad and used the "Fake Lads" guide in the Eater U section to do some pidgin stuff. Your lad was in Burkina Faso, though... Wonder how much Nigerian Pidgin carries over to lads in other lad-infested countries?

Thanks for the feedback I just read the fake lad tutorial and after that I realized that there was some stuff that could have been done better. I did not even notice that I used the same exact "deal is off" phrase until you pointed it out. I will avoid re-using memorable phrases next time I play a lad. There is a high chance he has been baited before I got "Tom Franks" email from a huge lad list. Also did you notice that he put "Christian" under illegal religious activities.

He killed a chicken for Christmas?

Now THAT is funny stuff. Nice work.
