I used to live in Eastern Europe and got pretty good at the "Slav who knows 10 words of spoken English" if you really need someone. I would need a way to receive a call from our boy here.

I have a nice mic and ways to record a call. Just need to point me on how to set up a polish number.

^^@Lysanias "Slav who knows 10 words of spoken English is exactly what I'm looking for! IDK about the Polish number thing: maybe you can make up an excuse for why you have a non-polish number, like you're claiming to live in another country as part of the scam, so your phone number needs to match for the mugus?

This looks like it will be fun to watch. Hopefully this lad will be better than the last one.

Ok it looks like I got my fake phone number working to "call from Krakow". We are going to try to get a call going with him this weekend and I can upload it for everyone to see. If you want to see a livestream of me doing it, PM me and I will send you the link to my twitch stream and the time its all going down.

Would be nice to have some pointers from the veterans on the dos and don'ts.

I guess it's true that lads don't like to work on weekends. He did not pick up after I tried to call him. Might have to try again during the week.

Mr. Hemorrhoids has always sort of had inconsistent availability: he's vanished for a few days and apologetically came back more than once over the course of this bait. In fact, it was in one of these gaps that "afforded the opportunity to crash the lad's modality" in the first place Laughing

According to Google Hangout, he hasn't even been online for the last 2 days. I do wonder what he's up to right now...

Anyway, it's still not okay that he hasn't answered our calls, especially after all that grief he gave poor . So I let him know it... Razz

The conversation since last I posted:

Quote:

Me: Hello are you?
What do we need to put in order before "mugu" arrive?
Jan 23, 12:36 PM

Lad: What we need is your own phone number if the mugu come then can communicate with you freely
;k
• Jan 25, 2:55 AM
Lad: ok
• Jan 25, 7:28 AM

Me: Ah okay. I have another english class tonight, and will practice my speaking words and understanding words out loud. May be well enough for a call in two days, is well?
Jan 25, 10:51 AM

Me: I will give a call to this weekend okay? You will be with your phone, yes? A call will come to you.
Jan 25, 11:03 PM

Silence

Now we come to this weekend. As planned, @Lysanias tried calling the lad a couple times last night and this morning. No answer, and he didn't have a voice mail set up. I offered to give the lad a little scolding for him to see next time he gets online, and...I got sorta into it Laughing

Quote:

Me: You are not taking my calls. I gave many calls to you today, as I did say on Thursday would do. You have not shut your face about you want me give a call to you, like a teenager little girl you are whining to me "I must give call to you or else," and now, like a teenager girl you are all, "psyche! suckaaa 😝"
My phone number [number] WHEN YOU SEE NUMBER, TAKE CALL, AS THAT IS ME!

Am NOT pleased with you. Before, I thought you serious man, that you are serious with business and with business friends, but maybe you are in actually teenager girl? Will you be all "me, me, me!" until is time to do business, then forget and go play Digimon with teenager girl friends? I hope you will forget and go play Digimon on day when "mugu" does land in Ghana?
Is not well thing to do for professional man. We have business for discuss, you know we have business to discuss, as it was you who did say "as this mugu is coming to Africa we have to talk at list before his arrival to put thing in other before him." We cannot put thing in other if we are not talk. Am not pleased.

[number] is phone number. You will call it back. Thank you, have a fun day. -

So... has a new bit of character backstory, now: he had a girlfriend back in middle school who would always harass him about calling her and then not answer her phone just like our lad, and she broke his heart into tiny little bits. So yeah. This experience was like, hella triggering for and the lad aught to be ashamed of himslef Laughing

We shall try calling again on the morrow. Let's see if he picks up...

Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2018 6:42 pm

Our lad's response, at 11:25 am his time!

Quote:

Tell your man to start coming and forget those document that he is demaning that upon his arrivals he will see those documents in a hard copy as he demanded. Kindly work on him as we have set all things and documents here ready waiting for him to arrivel.

Try to call me back because I tried you severally but unable to pick my own call as well.so call me back as I noticed that it is late night in Poland.
I don't play with business at all as I know fully well that time is money and opportunity comes but ones.Do pardone me if in any way you fines guilty in my statement of approch.
Hemm • 3:25 AM

I hope you can cope with us without minding.Talk to your man to prepare himself and enter flight on 4th and come down to Africa for this deal.
Have a wonderful day my guy.I will pass your message to my Boss. (Oh?) Thanks.
Hemm • 4:23 AM

Are you there Mr. Yakov?
Can you talk to me in hang out since you are still sleeping?
I did not see your call on Sunday because I was in the Church

BTW, Chet had previously demanded some documents from the lad on Jan 23:

Quote:

Dear Mr. R0ydds,

Before my arrival in Ghana, there are a things my company will need from you for our records. Just the usual--if you have done business with other American companies in the past, then I'm sure you already know the drill.

Please email me a copy of:

-Your mine's license for operation

-The most recent assay report of your

-Your mine's most recent safety inspection report

Nothing too hard. All stuff you should be able to pull from your records, I'm sure. Let me know when I can expect these items.

Regards,
Chet

There should be no security risks at all in sending me a copy of your Export permit/Export License, Certificate of Origin, and Certificate of Assayer Report. In fact, you could say that I have no way of knowing for sure that you Cerulean Gold at all without them, and without seeing your License (which is technically public record, meaning the public has a right to see it) no way of knowing that you are a legally operating mine. If I do not know these things for sure, you could understand how I would see no reason to risk valuable company time and money traveling to a foreign country for what may be an illegally operating hole in the ground with no properly certified to speak of.
In conclusion, you will send me your Export permit/Export License, Certificate of Origin of the , and Certificate of Assayer Report of the or I am not coming to Ghana.

Regards,
Chet

Fun Times! We have been playing phone tag with this guy every 4 hours. I asked Astarte to give this guy a hard time for not being able to pick up his phone 24/7 and for not being able to talk with me at my own convenience.

I tried both in the early morning and midday his time. No dice... he only seems to call my internet phone when I am AFK.

Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2018 9:23 pm

Tried for the third time this morning / midday his time. No dice. I asked Astarte to give him hell again.

Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2018 2:50 am

Hopefully we get a connection so there can be much hilarity. If you need another prospective buyer of cerulean gold at some point, ideally once it's confirmed that the lad is fully engaged, I would be willing to reprise my role from before. This time, we must get blue gold bars!

Mr. Hemorrhoids Returns?

After several fruitless rounds of phone tag and the lad's refusal to cobble together some fake documents about his like a good boy, Mr. R0ydds seemed to have fallen off. The five days ago, he sent Google Chats to both Chet and Suzette (who had emailed him very briefly about Ceru1ean G0ld back in December, before Chet and came on the scene).

Lets start with Suzette:

Quote:

Hello Suzette, your silence is a thing of concern to me. Is anything the matter?
(FYI the lad had sent her pictures of normal, very much non-cerulean gold/bricks, she'd told him he must have made a mistake and did he have any Ceru1ean G0ld, and...he never got back to her Razz

)
Hemm • Feb 23, 2:11 AM

Me: I assumed you didn’t have Ceru1ean G0ld, so our business was done.
Feb 23, 1:18 PM

You assumed but i did not told that so if still i need of it let me know as to enable ascertained the quantity in stock. Thank you
Hemm • Feb 23, 6:04 PM

Today:
Talk to me that keeping silence
Hemm • 3:32 AM

Ruh-roh, sounding a little desperate Neutral

His conversation with Chet:

Quote:

Lad: Hello Chet,Hope that you day is going good today?
Hemm • Feb 23, 2:09 AM

Me: Good to hear from you. Yakov tells me that you had a nervous breakdown. Are you doing better? (Oh , you sneaky 'lil weasel! Laughing

)
Me: I hope Yakov hasn't overstepped by telling me? Do know that I had a nervous breakdown myself, back in college. So while mine was no where near as dramatic as understand yours was, I do have some semblance of an idea of what you've been going through, and understand the importance of giving oneself the break you need.
Sun, 11:47 PM

Lad: Hello chet, although i do not know what Yakov told you and where he got his own information but all i want to know from is your position on this transaction becoming has taken long.
Hemm • 3:31 AM

So that's what's up right now Cool
