This is our traveling boi:
https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=274719

After we have exchanged hilarious emails for weeks and weeks as of March this year, my character Julia finally invited the lad to go for the real big bucks. It is a WIMP modality bait, and the lad fell for it right from the very beginning.
The lad is very cooperative. He has generously shared his Cameroonian phone numbers with us baiters, and he has nuked the SIM cards while he was talking on Skype with me, to make it safe for us. Thank you so much Cool

He even came on camera while he was doing that.

He has left Cameroon the day before yesterday. His Cameroonian phone number is not going through anymore.

Quote:

This is the new number i will be using from now on till we meet and i will get a nigerian number then 00237665569332

He is using a Nigerian number now. We had some contact today, and there is trouble. The bus driver refused to go to Maiduguri from Ikom/Nigeria, so lad will have to go to Kano instead. Fine with me. We are of course using code names. His code name is "Ugly Duckling". He likes it. He has even scribbled it down to a piece of paper and took a picture:

Here is some of the communication we had on Skype lately:

Quote:

To be frank am just a poor guy why will i lie to you i need this business badly i dont play with oppotunities like this Boss Julia. See when i say am honest with you, I AM. All the numbers have been distroyed and i need this to happen in my life. It might also be that the numbers you tried rand on air but i did destroyed the sim cards OK. I am clean as far as you are concern about this deal. I was even in my village to collect a few stuff and should be in Limbe Sunday evening. I have also been waiting for the traveling details from Ozumbo so that i know how much in total i am to hold for the tripe too. Please you do not need to get angry or disappointed in anyway. I am honest and want to keep my loyalty to you. You will know me better when we meet. Please i will do well to call you latest 10:00 AM Cameroon time. Yours Sincerely
Benjy

Hello Julia. Good morning. I am also up and its freezing here in Bamenda. i am online now and still in Bamenda. I will be taking a bus here to Nigeria. I thought it wise that, since its rainy season, its not good for me to travel in a boot. We do have cars here that carry people to Nigeria so will be preferable. I will be taking off today from here. I just need your number to go through so that i will update you on my traveling. Right now, i want to go get a ticket and know when i have to take off. I will let you know when i have taken off. It might take a day or two for me to get to Nigeria from Bamenda. Its slow but safe. I hope you do not have a problem with that too. Do you also have a code name or i just need to call Julia?

my phone is on call me if am not online on skype Regards

Hello Duck, I have tried to call you twice, but your phone is switched off UzumbO is with me now, where are you? Can you come online? My code name is IYE, and Uzumbo's code name is OGU. Anthony's code name is OLUKU. You have a first level code name right now, it will be upgraded along with the business process

[11.07.2016 23:00:15] Julia: I have called you 4 times at least, your number was not going through either! I will try again now, ok?
[11.07.2016 23:17:49] Julia: Duck, I have tried again, from my cell phone, a neighbour's landline and from my Skype to your Skype, your number is not connecting, what is the matter????
[11.07.2016 23:18:28]Julia: Why can you not just come oneline?
[11.07.2016 23:18:47] Julia: You are making me nervous! Is everything allright?

And there we go:

[12.07.2016 21:27:54] james clark: thanks thats all he ask me to here i can not pick the call thanks

Listen, what is going on? Where is your brother? I have tried to reach him on his Nigerian cell all day, but he doesn't take my calls. I am seriously concerned. How can I reach him? Where is he? Is he doing all right?

My very special thanks go out to to Loualsindor for providing the flight tickets, and thanks to Osazee, Mortal and Robert Heinrich for joining in. As to the unforeseeable change of his route, lad will have to spend another night in a hotel in Ikom. He has told me they charged him 2.500 Naira per night. He will send me a scan copy of the receipt Cool

congratulations to this safari, I hope that you get more proof, like a selfie with GPS-data in the exifs, but it really sounds like he is on the go.

since he already went from his home somewhere close to douala to ikem, it qualifies for a safari, but as we have talked... maiduguri is the town to go (actually, it was just a joke, since maiduguri was featured in mr. labowskis eric&franklin bait), but he will have a lot of fun over there. especially now with the turmoils that are going on in borno state.

so, the distance ikom-maiduguri is about 930km, which is barely managable in one day, with the nigerian roads that look like swiss cheese...

I wish him good luck, and may the term "stock" become as prominent as "stredded under hash conditions".

Good on ya'!

Glad I could help in a tiny way.

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 5:23 pm

Lad won't travel to Maiduguri....the bus driver refused to go there. He will be on the bus to Kano tomorrow morning. I will call him later to get a recording. My recorder didn't work when we spoke last, but maybe Mortal has an audio file Cool

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 5:28 pm

I've got only the ugly Duckling call, MG. Want me to upload that?

Baiting Guru Joined: 10 Oct 2010 Posts: 3876

very good.

if he can't go to maiduguri, I'd say, that our little organisation has another crooked WU-agent in zinder, or somewhere outside of it.

zinder is in the lovely country of niger, it's hotter, more arid, and half way into sahara desert Twisted Evil

I love it when a baiter scores a safari using the WIMP!

You have made my day.

MG had this wonderful idea of calling the orphan MTCNs . as far as I can tell, that helped a bit. maybe he liked that name. it certainly gives the impression that everyone at WU does it, and that it is quite normal.

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 6:52 pm

Fresh from the press - brand new call! Listen while it's hot!

Mortal and I just spoke with the lad.
Our boi is still in his hotel in Ikom/Nigeria. Mortal has uploaded the brandnew recording. Lad was told that Mr Gomer will collect him at the bus station in Kano tomorrow. His bus will leave around 5.00 am. What could go wrong?

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 6:56 pm

^

ETA: And, unbestknown to him, he might land in Abuja instead of Kano. Laughing

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 7:22 pm

This is fantastic... no one gives better phone than MG. Congrats on the safari!

MG via phone with the lad wrote:

War? What war.. there is no war here. That bus driver must be a real pussy.

That was so funny. Also loved Mortal complaining about making new plans because of the "pussy driver". Very Happy

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 8:03 pm

For the uninitiated (i.e. me) what is the WIMP modality?

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 8:07 pm

^ Simply put : you tell the lad you are crooked clerk from Western Union with lots of unclaimed mtcn numbers that were forgotten and never picked up.

You need a partner in <wherever the lad is> to claim the funds on your behalf and send you 50% back. When the lad agrees, he's informed that it can only be claimed in neighbouring country as it was originally sent there - but once he arrives he'll get the $$$.

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 10:48 pm

Awesome, MountainGoat and Co! Sounds like your lad's ready to go. Just some ideas for confirming it when he gets to Kano-a selfies in front of the bus station or if he calls, have him hand the phone to a local.

Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 2:47 am

Great work on the safari! I hope you can keep your lad on the road for a while yet.

Mort: It's been a pleasure meeting you, duck.

Well done, I'm sure lad won't forget this pleasant trip ever. It's like holding a lottery ticket with a winning combination that your wife forgot to pay for.

Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 4:31 pm

He is on his way to Abuja, we will call him later to get another recording. He was a little concerned because he could not reach me on my Nigerian number, so I gave him my new number. He called me back only 5 minutes later, and he has also sent an SMS.

Quote:

Hello good morning Iye <-----he uses my code name

We left this morning at 07.30 am. They say I will arrive Abuja in the evening where I will be put in another bus to Kanu. That I will get to Kanu tomorrow morning if I travel by night I will not stop anywhere till I get to Kanu I am running short of money already: If there is no bus to leave 4 Kanu that's when I can pass the 9ite but I will do my very best to travel to Kanu today so that by 2mrrw we should proceed with work

The right way to go Very Happy

Lad has called my Nigerian cell gain, he has arrived in Abuja. I kept it short.....roaming fees are not really fun.
He has sent 3 SMS messages:

Quote:

Please can you call the driver says he prefers that we leave in the morning so we can arrive Kano at 10 or 11 am in the morning. If we will leave now, we will arrive at 2 am in the night. What do you think?

Well....what do I think? In the middle of the night feels just absolutely fine with me Cool

Next message:

And then:

Quote:

Of course Mr Gomer will be there to pick him up, I have called him and told him so Cool

My recorder didn't work, but I take it Mortal has a recording of the call. We spoke to the bus driver.

And another message just popping in:

Quote:

Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 8:09 pm

MG and I just spoke to the lad & the bus driver. They are to set out for Kano.
6 hour journey - they will arrive at 3am local time.

Lad wanted to know, if he can arrive this early and if there will be somebody to pick him up. Absolutely yes! Cool

Can't post the call now, will do so tommorow. Fun begins now. Very Happy
