Somewhere in Ghana, a Lad may be getting his ass kicked something terrible...

It began with these calls: https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=255641

So I fired off an email to the Lad running a DBC script, who had been ID'd in the last call.

Quote:

Your son called me under the impression that I'm "Daddy Steve". If you don't mind me saying - he sounds like a total wussbag.

I then called the Lad.

What follows is the Lad in desperate denial and Mal not letting him off the hook. The Lad's emails are date-stamped.

Am very sorry about the random phone calls , I traveled briefly to the village for a funeral and there was no network within that area, I decided to leave my phone.
Sometimes kids are mischievous, My nanny’s family also visited , while I was away and I wouldn’t know who exactly made the call unconsciously, assuming you to be my uncle Steve, Am very sorry for any embarrassment this might cost you. Necessary caution has been taking to prevent and control it.
Thanks for understanding

Quote:

Just ask yourself why Uncle Daddy Steve is involved with lady diplomats and consignment belonging to a teenage youth. Something gorram well stinks.

With all due respect it’s personal and family issue, I don’t appreciate when adult take little mistake with kids too personal,
Steve is my uncle he’s into export and import whatever he does with his business related to the family is personal and private without your intruder.
The call was not met for you according to your explanation and it was a mistake assuming you to be my uncle, Steve has already confirm to me that he promised my kids toys and playing materials when his consignment arrives.
The question is do you have a consignment at the kotoka airport, with a lady diplomat?, if No, Then you don’t border yourself with it..
and let's focus.

Quote:

You're covering for your uncle. Diplomats, lady or otherwise, don't bring consignments of toys and games for teenage boys, or shift cocoa for exporters. On the other hand, diplomats from certain nations have been known to help smuggle drugs and launder money.

I am telling the truth based on my findings after you reported it to me, You are not the only friend that had this experience with the kids on the same day.
Unfortunately human beings are different s, Am amazed how you conclude and argued with assumption over this issue, it's unnecessary, Maybe you like argument a lot.
We rather use our time to discuss something better and profitable that we have pending rather than wasting our precious time as an adult, Over little kids mistakes,
My responsibility is to correct and prevent it with caution, you don’t expect me as a father to file a case and arrest my kids for handling my phone on my behalf.
Or would you send your son to jail for such mistakes.Why don’t we put this mistake behind us and move on as good partners.

Quote:

I don't like to argue. What I like is certainty. Your uncle's business is making me reconsider this matter.
I might also add that you forgot something - that wasn't your son I was talking to. This wasn't some little kid's mistake; it was something altogether more sinister.

Quote:

12 October
There's nothing for you to be worried about, I have my reputation to keep, My family don't associate with anything contrary to the law, export and import is legal business all over the world, I hope you visit one day to meet my family as my friend.
Please kindly update me with the progress to finalize the transfer claim with the Bank.

Quote:

I'll spell this out again.
Someone claiming to be your son, but who was not your son, and who called me "Daddy Steve", spoke about a deal involving a lady diplomat and a consignment, and who started talking about getting my number from a beneficiary list before saying he'd got it from your phone. How he could confuse an American with a Ghanaian is a further mystery.

Quote:

12 October
Is unbelievable how you think and conclude, maybe you are living in an environment with high crime rate over there,
in Africa this shouldn't be an issue, since you are not Steve my uncle and you don't have any dealing with him,
finally the call was not met for you as you said. this is not any reasons to intrude into peoples privacy .mistakes like that does happen sometimes.
Please you have not updated me with the progress on our pending transaction.

Quote:

Alice Springs is a quiet country town with a minimal crime rate. On the other hand, according to travel advisories about Ghana: "Violent crime can occur at any time..." and "Be particularly vigilant in public areas, and take care when travelling by road" and "Localised outbreaks of civil unrest can occur at short notice".
What happened may have been a mistake - but it wasn't an innocent one. Someone was planning a crime and was using your phone so that his phone wouldn't be compromised. If you don't understand that, I pity you.

Thank you for your concern, i appreciate, my nanny has been fired and was placed under police interrogation, i am taking precaution already,
Since it happen on my behalf and my nanny said she wasn't with the kids when they made the call mistakenly.and she wouldn't know whom exactly.
I have learnt my lessons and will do everything to prevent it. thank you once again, Please lets move on with life and put it behind.
You are not updating me with the progress on our transaction. have you gotten the transfer schedule. please what is going on.

Quote:

I don't like repeating myself, but needs must; your son did not make the call. Stop talking about it like it was some kid's prank.

Quote:

13 October
i hope you are not hiding something from me regarding the bank transaction , have you receive the funds transfer into your account.
why are you distracting the issue, i expected you to update me like a partner as usual. I need to know what is going on,

Quote:

I have gone no further than preparing to pay the fee demanded by [the lawyer], and I held off from that because of the phone call. As for telling you what's going on - I suspect that you know more than I do about what happened.

Quote:

13 October
My friend that was a mistake occurrence on my behalf and i have apologized, i don't expect you to transfer it and affect what we have, what more can i say.
i knew nothing and i wouldn't indulge my self for anything childish, it doesn't make any sense.
Please lets move on as prospective good partner as we are to finalize with the transfer requirement, we are not suppose to delay with the progress to achieve this result.

Quote:

Your naïveté is beyond astounding. You've created a fake version of what happened and then argued from that instead of from reality.
Your son did not make the call, but rather some teenager who talked to me as his "Uncle Daddy Steve" even when he could hear my accent. He started to explain how he got my number but then changed that suddenly, and insisted that I had talked to the lady diplomat about the consignment despite my denials. He then insisted that you are his father, which he should have known would be exposed as a lie.
I did a Google search for some elements of his story and came up with some interesting results - page after page about scams! Now ain't that precious!

You are getting things mixed up, and your conclusion is terrible, what we had has nothing to do with consignments, further more the call was not met for you. according to your explanation
i believe your report without any doubt because you are my friend and partner, but for you to say this was rather unfortunate.
maybe is your nature to argue unknowingly. this is not necessary. if you assume it.
the police are investigating it, am just been careful .but from your point of view is not right, advise you to calm down and feel free, you and i has nothing related to it.

Quote:

I stand by my conclusions - that someone is running a scam and used your cell phone to make a call about it. Something that I noticed today is a large number of phishing emails in my spam box - up from none before that call. I don't believe that's coincidence.

Quote:

The investigation review the call was made by my kids at randomly with my phone in my house, and it wasn’t intentional,
If you can find a place in your heart and put it behind, please do. I am moving on with life and don’t want to proceed with this issue any more as distraction.
It was my kids mistake and I can’t create any family crisis out of this, I have taking every measure with precautions.
Whatever wrong impression and misconception by anybody doesn’t matter.
I don’t want to get into any argument in this regard, irrespective of how it happened; it was a mistake, and misplacement of communication
What I have with you is totally different and cannot be related with the incident in any right frame of mind. I have my reputation to keep as well.

Quote:

That is bullshit - total bullshit. That call was not made by one of your kids. It was made by a criminal trying to perpetrate a scam, and you are covering up. That means that you cannot be trusted.
We have no business anymore.

I love your calls Yas. The lads are always shaking in their boots when they talk to you. Very Happy

Great job turning the lads against each other. I really hope the small boi is getting his ass beat hard enough that he reconsiders his profession.

After Mal's diatribe, the Lad went CAPS LOCK.

Quote:

SAY WHAT EVER YOU LIKE, IS UP TO YOU, YOU WEREN'T WITH MY FAMILY AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE, AM ONLY TRYING TO RESPECT YOUR COMPLAIN AN REPORT AS A SIGN OF GOOD PARTNER , BUT YOU ARE TAKING IT OVER THE TOP. AS IF IT WAS A MURDERER OR IT A CRIME TO DIAL A MISSED CALL.

I AM A WELL RESPECTED AUDITOR GENERAL AND IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO COOPERATE AD FINALIZE THE TRANSACTION SO BE IT , I CAN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER REYNOLDS FAMILY PERSON TO APPLY FOR THE CLAIM YOU WILL BE THE ONE LOOSE YOUR SHARE AND BENEFIT,
YOU ARGUE OVER EVERYTHING THAT IS JUST WHO YOU ARE ,SINCE WE AGREED TO PROCEED, YOU HAVE BEEN ARGUING

ALL ALONG , BEFORE THIS MISTAKE ISSUE. YOU VERY FREE TO DECIDE NO HARD FEELINGS EITHER WAYS. I AM RELIABLE AND TRUST WORTHY AS A CHRISTIAN, MAYBE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TRUST AND FORGIVENESS IN HEART.

I replied with extensive quotes:

Quote:

"YOU WEREN'T WITH MY FAMILY AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE" - You weren't there - and you didn't take the call. You're doubly ignorant so you don't have the right to judge.

"AS IF IT WAS A MURDERER OR IT A CRIME TO DIAL A MISSED CALL" - The call involved the planning of a crime, which you don't seem to care about. You are either a fool or a sociopath.

"I CAN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER REYNOLDS" - I'll let the bank know that you're planning to rip them off with a false Reynolds; so much then for your "respect".

"MAYBE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD" - as it happens, I am an atheist, and you, as a Christian, are deceitful, untrustworthy, and full of shit.

That about sums it up.

In turn, the Lads seems to have decided to bow out gracefully.

Quote:

Thanks you, am not taking it personal against you, anytime you decided to keep in touch as partner feel free, i just wanna be focus, rather than engaging my self with misunderstand.
Without trust, understanding tolerance and forgiveness, we can not move on peacefully and succeed as partners.

I don't think I can let him get away with that.
