This is a scan of a ticket between Mali and Paris. And the person this belongs to is Mr Diallo. He is the guyman of a gold lad based in Bamako Mail and he want to rip me off for the amount of almost $200,000.

He was schedueled to go to Chad to enjoy the hospitality of Dharma initially, but ironiclly he said it was to expensive and the lads didn't wanna spend more than they had to while ripping me off. So they said that they were gonna go to Sweden instead. And they showed all the right signs so i believed them. Mr Diallo already had a schengen visa since before that he wanted to use to scam people and they were also worried about hotels and such. And these are good signs that they are going. Also they were worried about Diallos langugae skills, or rather his lack thereoff. And rightly so, his english is abysmal.

So i wasn't very surprised when i got the ticket. But there was one thing missing, the trip was only to Paris and my character is based in Gothenburg Sweden, they hadn't gotten hold of a ticket for the last leg so they hoped that they could easilty get in when Diallo landed in Paris. Something that he did yesterday. He called me from a French number and his voice was the same as the Diallo that called me from Mali beofore. So i had confirmed the first part of his safari. Safari

And today i called him and asked him how it went with the second ticket. Sadly it wasn't recoded but i can tell you this, he bitched endlessly on how expensive it was. "Paris is bad" he said. So this prompted me to check the tickets online. I had gotten his oga in Mali to send me his flight details to Gothenburg and he is coming in via Frankfurt, and ladning very, very late in the evening, 23:20. This naturally gives him little time to arrange a hotel, something that he will have to do unless he want to have a good nights sleep. Problem is that he said that he spend all his cash on the last ticket, and i believe him in this.

I made a price estimate online for his ticket. Please bear in mind that i checked the tickets via an online travel agency and i did it after he booked his flight. So the price i got was probably jacked up a bit further than what he paid. But still, the price for his last minute purchase was mind blowing.

Paris-Frankfurt-Gothenburg return ticket was £2,955. And even if he only paid half of that amount i can understand why he complained.
This also made it ironic that he chose to go to Sweden for its better price. Sucks to be him.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the waeather here in Sweden is horrendous at the moment. Yesterday 5 people died in the blizzard of a decede. Hopefully he will dress lightly.

Have a lad arrive late to the destination V

Promise him to meet him at the airport and get a hotel for him V

Actually arrive at airport to meet him X

Actually get him his primised hotel X

Abysmal weather V

Promise lad to get him some pocket money upon arrival V

Fail to do so X

Language problems for lad upon arrival V

Ruins lad economy with long and costly safari V

Ladies and gentlemen, the stage is set. Problems, anger and probably forzen tears will ensue.
Welcome to Sweden!

You know, I'm not a lad hugger. I can accept sending them in the middle of a jungle full of poisonous snakes and spider plus some carnivorous beasts. I can accept sending them into the middle of a desert where the nearest water source is 100 miles away. I can accept sending them to some very dangerous cities where they are likely to get mugged, robbed and dumped into a dumpster in the first few minutes since their arrival.

But having anyone travel to Sweden is just outright inhumane.

I hope you're getting a medal for this.

In Gothenburg it was more rain than snow, but still plenty of both. But don't worry, they say there is another storm coming in on Sunday evening. So he will get a new chance.

Standing ovation! You'd think the word about Sweden would have spread by now.

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:40 am

One would think so, but no.

The lad landed safely at 23:20 yesterday and all he had was a name of a hotel i had booked. 30 minutes after landing i got a call from the help desk at the airport and a lady asking me where i was gonna meet him. I also spoke with him on the phone shortly. I said that she should put him on the bus to the city and i would meet him at the bus stop. Something i didn't of course.

But this is a recourcefull little fucker and i don't thiink he is nearly as broke that he says he is. Next call i got close to 1am in the night was from the reception at the hotel where i had "booked" him. And they had some bad news, there was no booking and furthermore the hotel was full so he couldn't get a room. At least i spoke with him and the call was recorded, albeit mostly in Swedish with me speaking with the receptionist. But it is a definitive confirmation of his whereabouts at least. The call wasn't very good as it was incomming and there are some spikes in volume, so keep that low.

To the receptionist i discussed the other hotel options and i also blamed my personal assitant for the cockup. No need to blame the hotel as they had nothing to do with it. To the lad i said that i will come and get him at the hotel. Then i went to bed and so did The Monsignor who helped me with translation with the lad who spoke mostly French. He also helped me with discussing different ideas on what to do with the lad. Thanks.

I have no idea where he slept this night of if he did so at all. I hope that a morning call can clear that up later on. And the weather in Gothenburg is not very good at the moment. Hopefully for him he found enough cash to get a hotel room. If not he had a rough night. He probably had anyway.
Here is a webcam with the local weather at the moment. You can actually see "his" hotel in the background. The tall grey building in the far background to the left of the photo.

outstanding safari, so far.

the only thing I'm worried about: another scumbag in europe.

maybe suddenly family business appeared... and you had to go somewhere to north sweden (either you offer him to pick him up and take him with you, and don't show up, or you just had to leave).

I doubt that he would kill the deal by going home (did he even buy a return ticket?)

Brilliant safari Dr Mike Smile

, have you recommended he try the fermented herring to keep the cold at bay. (apologies if thats not a swedish dish)

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:00 pm

Indulge for a moment...

After weeks of planning follow long days spent in the air and even longer, tedious waits overnight at strange airports and in expensive foreign hotels. Thousands spent (Euros, Dollars, whatever you like, they’ve gone) and thousands of miles travelled. From the radiant warmth of West Africa to the freezing cold and snow of Sweden, this Scammer eventually landed there late last night, intent on robbing his wheelchair-bound Victim of $200 000. It was going to be a fabulous Christmas for him and his Oga back in Mali.

Unfortunately, this ‘Victim’ was Dr Mike and all this Lad found in Sweden was the below zero temperature plus utter bewilderment.

This is a ScamBaiting site and this is top drawer intercontinental Safari Baiting.

Stupendous work, Dr Mike. Utterly stupendous. clapping

The explanation is excellent-what these scammers were trying to do puts the effort into perspective.

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:22 pm

This is fantastic. This lad is so far out of his comfort zone it is untrue. In fact he's well into his horror and agony zone. I think we all agree; it's fair.

Great job as always Cool

Must give you a nice warm feeling despite the apocalyptic weather.

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:53 pm

You have to love the Mali cold, I mean gold, lads!

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:13 pm

Great stuff (as normal)

At least he gets to see the Christmas lights Smile

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:18 pm

^^^ and he's probably never seen snow before, so that'll be something to tell the grandkids.

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 4:32 pm

Great job, Dr. Mike!

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 4:57 pm

Absolutely outstanding work Dr Mike! Loving this safari Smile

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 5:08 pm

"Money is finished." Awesome!! I hope he enjoys his stay. Twisted Evil

Dr. Mike and TM, beautiful work as always. I'm glad you're on our side!

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 5:52 pm

Fermented herring is a Swedish speciality, and in fact, i think it will help him stay warm. The convulsions he gets when he is puking his guts out will probably savy him from freezing to much. But then again, the cold would only be a minor problem at this point compared to his stomach problems.

Sadly i have some bad news about the lad, and that is that he fled. He couldn't stand the swedish cold hospitality.

I called the oga today and he informed me that Diallo had gone to the airport during the night. So intead of getting a room somewhere he fled from his responsibilities as a businessman. After i spoke to the oga he called me from the airport telling me that he had rearranged his departue to today. So his flight left at 2 pm. I told him that i would come there and meet him and i was also told that he would wait by the cafe in front of the information desk. It would take about 40 minutes, enough to have him wait long enough to risk his check in time.

I didn't come of course and 15 minutes before the plane left he called. And he was royally pissed off at me. I thought i recorded it but sadly it didn't work and there is no recording. But he thanked me for being a bad businessman. Some swearing and bad words towards me. So he have left the country and i do not expect that he will be coming back anytime soon. Sweden during its winter season was simply too much for the lads to enjoy.

Later tonight i will try to get him on his Paris number and i will also call the oga to hear his side of the story. Should be interesting.

Excellent baiting Dr Mike!!!!!

Outstanding safari as always, Dr Mike!

Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:49 pm

Perhaps he could lay over in Paris for a day or two so that you can arrange your flights to meet him there. Twisted Evil

Good job on this - there is nothing more warming than a frozen lad at Christmas!

Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2013 12:32 am

Maybe if you'd Swedened the pot he'd have stayed a bit longer - but then there'd be Norway he could get back home! It's sad to see the safari Finnish early, but at least he got cold. Many are cold, but few are frozen.
