A contender for the most bizarre opening script? Let's see what fortune awaits me at the bottom of the ocean.

I think (in a pirate voice) 'There be treasure!'

Of course, they're going to need a lot of cash up front before they can go back and retrieve it.

Another load of bollocks - a bit like a few years ago when some lad wanted to fund a huge net in the upper atmosphere to harvest all the precious metals floating around from burnt out satellites etc Smile

I want to look in to this. I am dying to find out how they managed this:

^^ I hope Roger is going to be a 'Jolly Roger' when he corresponds with CDR Pirate (sorry Piret).

James Bond was a Naval Commander and had the designation 007 - whereas CDR Piret is 0002. Don't know if that makes him better or worse than 007, probably better as he has the technology to find trunk boxes at the bottom of the ocean and know they contain exactly 6,000,000 each.

Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2016 11:19 am

After 18 months or so on the seabed (or hiding behind it), I do hope that nothing has happened to the bank notes in those boxes that has made them turn black.

If Commander Pirate wants to be number 2, it didn't do the Prisoner any good, he still wasn't Number 1.

I jumped on this one, too. Here's how they labeled the contents:

I feel there might be some illegality with stealing dead people's stuff so soon...

I wrote:

Dear Ronald,

Thank you for your quick informations about your offer.

I can totally understand what you wrote about your position in the US Navy and why you need outside help. But isn't this stealing from the dead passengers' relatives? The accident only happened last year so those relatives will still be mourning their loved ones being killed in the crash. How can we take their money and still have peace of mind? The amount of money is tempting and beyond what I've ever seen in my life but it feels, I dunno, wrong somehow. If you could explain this to me, please?

cheers!

Dear Thomas *****,

We shall cover the shipping charges and the boxes will be declared Sea
Food with relevant materials to protect the shipment in your favor.
Also the customs clearing in your state will not cost you more than
Nine Hundred and Fifty Dollars because the weight of the boxes will be
calculated as sea food. We have made everything possible to guarantee
our smooth success hence we anticipate your deepest business
relationship to utilize this magnificent opportunity without hitches.
If you are willing to handle this transaction accordingly then quickly
provide your complete address, your full name, mobile phone number and
your personal photo for recognition.

CDR Ron Piret, 0002

He still doesn't address the morality issue so I try again.

I wrote:

Dear Ronald,

Thank you for replying so quickly.
I don't think you read my message properly, though.
I'm worried that the relatives of the deceased passengers will come looking for their loved ones' money and belongings. It was only a year ago so they will still be looking for things like that. I think I know why you want my help. MY NAME will be associated with this shipment of the boxes, so the relatives will come hunting for me, not for you. Are you sure I will not be hunted down by the relatives of the dead passengers? How can I prevent this? I'm worried, Ron.

Lad wrote:

Sir,

Nobody will ever search for anything under the ocean, besides there
many missing fligh which government could not detect and i told you
earlier that we discovered a lot under sea of which we cannot disclose
everything for now. Nobody knows about the crashed flight because it
was recorded as missing flight which parts were consumed by fire and
water has flowed the parts away.

If you are willing to handle this transaction accordingly then quickly
provide your complete address, your full name, mobile phone number and

Just admit we'll be grave-robbing and we can move on!

I wrote:

Dear Ronald,

I appreciate your reply, but please understand my worries. The crash was so soon that this IS technically stealing from the relatives. I know I'm going on about it, but if you want me to get into this business then I want to make sure I won't be in trouble. You said no one will miss the crash. Really? Imagine if YOUR parents were on that plane and they failed to come back. You would certainly miss the flight! You would certainly know that something bad happened to your parents.
I WANT to help you but I won't get into something illegal or immoral. Please understand this.
The details you asked for...

I have been trying your phone number without success hence quickly
provide the number that you can be reached also you can call me on
this number +1 999 999 9999 but i don't answer private calls, so when
your calling you must use your mobile line so that it will be appear

I called his number but it just rang a few times and then switched to a text-me recording telling me I can SMS the number if I want.

I wrote:

Dear Ronald,

I tried calling you but I got no answer. Perhaps you're busy? Why did you want to speak to me? Is it something you can't put in writing?
Hope to hear from you soon.

communicated urgently to enable you receive the shipping invoice.

I get annoyed that he can't even use a telephone.

I wrote:

Sir,

I have provided you with a "working number" as you call it. Did you not see the attempts I made to call you? It rang for like a long time but no one answered. I use this number to call my wife and she calls me all the time when we are at work. I don't like your insinuations about it not being a valid number. I picked it especially because those number mean a lot to me and my wife!

Get back to me with some serious words this time, please, because your inability to use modern telephones is not going to ruin this business, okay?

Lad wrote:

Sorry

Yes, it was just one word. Is he apologizing because he sees I'm offended? Or is he saying "sorry, I don't want to deal with you"? Rather sensitive lad if the latter.

I wrote:

Ron,

What does "sorry" mean in full? Are you apologizing for insulting me about my telephone and we're going to go ahead with this business? I do hope so because I will apologize a bit myself and admit I was perhaps a little bit harsh towards you. Sorry about that. Let's not spoil things and go forward with this procedure, okay?

Thomas

Will he reply? I'll have to wait and sea.

Um...

See.

EDIT: Well, that didn't take long for a reply!

Lad wrote:

We cannot work with you sorry

He's not getting the last word.

I wrote:

Ron,

What?!? Just because you can't use a telephone??? Are you an idiot or something? Look up on YouTube for videos on how to use a telephone, I'm sure there will be some for your level of understanding.
This is SO annoying. You naval people are all the same, all promises and can't ever deliver.
I'm going outside to kick some fences now to vent my anger at your incompetence.
Maybe you can go away, too, for a few minutes and have a good long think about what you're doing here.
Get back to me when you've come to your senses, okay?

angrily,
Thomas

I just got a piggy and a mule to warn (reported both) from Piret's diplomat.

Piret said the fee was $950, but then the diplomat's script said it was $3,785 and included the offer to provide a bank account. I didn't even have to go through the usual "I can't use Western Union" stuff!

I'm playing a retired fisherman living on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico, btw. Smile

Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2016 6:56 pm

It's just so odd that the lads character last name is "Piret," and he is in fact a pirate. Is the lad purposely being silly, or could this all be a lark from some non-lad?

Where were the bank accounts the lad sent you located?

Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2016 7:54 pm

He's being rather stubborn, refusing to go off script. I'm going to try an aquarium owner angle to see if I can get him to shift

You gave me the assuring that you will not hesitate to collect the trunks from the delivery agent upon his arrival in your area, now that diplomat have arrived peacefully i need to know why you are delaying to clear the boxes as agreed. Your delay to achieve our final success will attract top investigation agencies because the trunks are heavily loaded and very big in size, also every non-inspection delivery of such size must be cleared swiftly to avoid hitches. Please do not allow anything to destroy the great relationship that we have build(What great relationship?) because myswlf and my colleague is planning to visit you next week for the collection of our share of the funds.

The lad tries to convince me he's legit:

Quote:

Dearest Dr Miles Norfolk,

We are brothers (My parents have some explaining to do!) and i cannot deceive you because we have reputations to protect, i will never be involved in any illegal transaction in my life, please believe me because the diplomat will deliver directly to your doorstep and nobody will know the content of the boxes because it is fully sealed and the unlock codes will be provided to you when the boxes are confirmed in your hands. Finally, it may interests you to know that we shall declare the content as Seafood and the sample picture will be attached to the invoice so that your delivery will be handled swift and smooth.

We look forward to receive your complete address and your cell phone number to prepare the shipping invoice and pay the necessary charges to enable the diplomat depart to your house today.

God bless you,
