I've managed to convince a lad in Benin that I am a Sakawa boy from Ghana living in the US. We've been going back and forth for a couple of weeks now. The idea is that I'm ultimately going to try to get him to Lome to pick up some clients for a gold dust or wash wash job. Here's this mornings response:

Quote:

MY GOOD BROTHER AM INTERESTED, JUST SEND ME THERE DETAILS LETS WORK OUT THOUSANDS OF CASH WITHOUT ANY DELAY.
LET ME TELL YOU HOW I WORK, I WORK WITH ORACLES AND I GET POWER FROM THE ABOVE, I SEEK POWER FROM DIFFERENT PART OF THE WORD,AM DEALING WITH GOLD CARS, LET ME TELL YOU HOW I RUN MY BUSINESS SO THAT YOU CAN JOIN ME IF YOU LIKE. I USE TO BUY CARS IN GERMANY AND SELL THEM IN IRAG, WELL SEE HOW MY CHARM USE TO WORK, IF I WENT TO BUY CAR LIKE GOLD CARS, I WILL ASK YOU HOW MUCH YOU ARE SELLING IT AND YOU WILL TELL ME LIKE $2.5MILLION THEN IF I OPEN MY MOUTH AND PRIZE THE CAR $100,000 THEY WILL SALE IT TO ME WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN.

LET ME KNOW KNOW IF YOU GOT THIS EMAIL AND ALSO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED TO JOIN ME IN THIS BUSINESS SO THAT I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IT WILL COST YOU TO JOIN OUR BUSINESS CREW.

He attached some pictures of gold plated sports cars.

Although he has all the details fairly thought out, I'm gonna call bullshit. That last line of his makes me think he's just trying to pull a fast one on his fellow guyman. I'll decline, but I won't call him out. I still want to try to safari him if possible.

If you need to travel through time with style Wink

somehow I think that laddy fell for a scam, which turnes him into a victim.

$100,000 THEY WILL SALE IT TO ME WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN.

So this guy's basically saying he's a magician/wizard - he asks the price, then, using his "magic oracle", hypnotises the seller into accepting whatever price the lad offers. There's a strong stench coming from this one lol. Shocked

^^^Do some googling on "SAKAWA" and "Yahoo plus."

You'll find that a lot of lads these days fancy themselves sorcerers.

I had never heard of Sakawa before now, but really want to read up on it. The brief article I've just read describes something that is really familiar in a lot of lad's emails.
It just always amazes me that they claim to be such God-fearing people, yet have no problem with that pesky "thou shalt not steal" commandment.

^^ There is a movie, in several parts, on YouTube called "The Dons of Sakawa", which is only one of a few movies made in Ghana, mainly with the intention of informing people about Sakawa.

I believe the chief advisor on at least one of them is an erstwhile Sakawa boi.

Sakawa is a bit like 419eater in that they waste a scammers time, and it costs them money.

^ Sakawa is the name, in Ghana, for 419, and the practitioners of the art, often known as Sakawa boys, are the Ghanaian equivalent to Nigerian Yahoo Plus boys. They often utilise ju-ju as part of their scamming practices.

They are despised by the majority of law abiding Ghanaians and even go around in armed vehicles in Accra robbing their own people, forcing them to draw money from their banks at gun-point, etc.

I regularly follow online news from official Ghanaian news websites and I tell you no lies. Lol

There's been some back and forth. The lad is still keen to scam me. What ever happened to honour among thieves?

Lad (who has so far witheld his name, but we'll get to that soon) says:

Quote:

My good brother i got your email and i have contact my spiritual pastor regarding there arrival here in benin republic. my spiritual pastor said that if this business will work that we must do sacrifice to enable the business work normal. so i ask my spiritual pastor how much it will cost for the sacrifice and i was told that it will cost only $1,300.
well i heard you mention that i will receive $5,000 after i pick them. is a good idea but am not much interested in the $5,000 rather am interested on what we can do in other to make the business move smooth. well i will advise you guys to remove $1,300 out of the money you guys will give me and use it for this sacrifice so that i will be 100 percent sure that this business will move smooth.
am ready to pick them up but we need to clear our road first so that everything will work normal, get back to me as soon as you got this email so that i will tell you guys how to contact my spiritual pastor and send them the money okay.

I am unamused:

Quote:

THE 5 THOUSAND USD IS PAYABLE TO YOU ONLY WHEN YOU DELIVER THE CLIENT TO US. WE WILL NOT PAY IN ADVANCE.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT WE ARE SERIOUS IN THIS BUSINESS. WE ARE NOT HERE FOR GAMES, SO PLEASE DONT THINK TO TRY TO TAKE US FOR SOME RIDE. WE ARE GUYS NOT CLIENTS. IF YOU NEED TO RENEW YOUR CHARMS WITH YOIR SPIRITUAL MAN YOU MUST PAY HIM YOURSELF AND WE WILL DEDUCT THE FUNDS FROM YOUR PAYMENT IF YOU WISH. OR WE JUST GIV YOU 5 TBOUSAND AND YOU DO WITH IT AS YOU WISH. IT IS UP TO YOU.

WE HAVE ALREADY MADE OUR SACRIFICES. I ASSURE YOU THIS BUSINESS IS WELL COVERED SPIRITUALLY. OUR ORACLE NEVER FAILS.

THE CLIENTS ARE FORBIDDEN FROM FLYING TO NAIJA DUE TO SOME IMMIGRATION ISSUE. THAT IS WHY WE NEED SOME GUY IN COTONOU YOU SEE. THE ISSUES IS THIS. WE CANNOT ABANDON OUR OPERATIONS TO TAKE EVEN A DAY. MY CREW LOCATE IN ABUJA. AM OCCUPIED IN THE UNITED STATES IN CITY OF ATLANTA. ALL WE NEED YOU TO DO IS PICK FROM COTONOU AND BRING ACROSS THE BORDER. SOME SMALL FUNDS AT THE CROSSING WILL ENABLE YOU TO PASS THE CHECKPOINT QUESTION FREE. THE FOREIGNERS ARE FROM US AND HOLLAND. I SUGGEST WE ADD 500USD TO YOUR PAYMENT TO COVER ANY TRAVEL EXPENSES. SO YOU WILL BE PAID 5500USD ON ARIVAL ABUJA.

THE CLIENTS WILL BE CARRYING CASH AND OTHER VALUABLES. YOU MUST ARRANGE TO HIDE THERE LUGGAGE WELL IN YOUR CAR FROM PRYING EYES.

REMAIN BLESS

Let's see if this goes anywhere...

He's in. I hope the flight isn't re routed. Smile

If flight is rerouted, remember to fear your lads magic in causing it... He will love taking credit for it and makes you seem more compliant, getting ever closer to payday...

Update: There's been some boring back and forth establishing pay to the lad. Here's the instructions he received:

Quote:

FRIDAY. ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES 917 ARRIVIMG TO COTONOU FROM ABIDJAN. THEY ARE COMING FROM HOLLAND AND WILL TAKE THE CONNECTING FLIGHT WHICH COMES FROM ABIDJAN. THEY WILL LAND 2:15 PM. THE PRIMARY CLIENT IS MR. ADAM TOPM@N. ADDRESS [email protected]. HE BELIEVES HE WILL ARRIVE FOR WASH WASH JOB. IN ADDITION TO HIS LUGGAGE HE WILL BRING A CARRY ON BAG FULL OF USD AND A SATCHEL OF IPHONES. THEY IPHONES ARE GIFTS HE IS PROVIDING. THE CARRY ON IS CRAFTILY DESIGNED SO THE CASH IS CONCEALED FROM X RAYS AND PRYING EYE. HE ALSO HAS CASH IN SOLE OF HIS SHOE AND SOME SPECIAL COMPARTMENT IS HIS COAT. CUSTOMS IS UNAWARE OF ANY CASH TO THIS MUST BE KEPT HUSH HUSH. WE NEED YOU PICK THE CLIENT AND HIS ATACHE AND BRING THEY TO A MEET UP LOCATION IN BENIN CITY NIGERIA. WE WILL PROVIDE YOU ADDRESS.

SEND HE CLIENT EMAIL AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF. EXPLAIN YOU WORK FOR MR. PAUL AND YOU KNOW HIS BUSINESS. HE WILL BE EXPECTING A SECURITY QUESTION FROM YOU. THE SECURITY QUESTION YOU ASK HIM IN YOUR EMAIL IS -WHAT IS A GOOD TIME TO EMAIL YOU. THE ANSWER HE WILL GIVE YOU IS -WHENEVER YOU PREFER-. INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS OUR BUSINESS PARTNER AND ASK THE AUESTION AND HE WILL ANSWER. YOU WILL NEED TO EXCHANGE PHOTOS OF YOURSELFS WITH EACHOTHER TO CONFIRM IDENTITY AT THE AIRPORT.

ONCE YOU PICK HIM AT AIRPORT USE YOUR CONNECTIONS TO BRING HIM TO US. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE AT BORDER OR ELSEWHERE TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF THE CASH.

WHEN YOU DELIVER HE TO US WE WILL PAY YOU THE 5500USD AND IF YOU WANT SOME IPHONES TAKE THEM.

WE DO A GOOD BUSINESS TOGETHER MY GUY. CALL ME SPENDER. WHAT SHOULD I CALL YOU.

REMAIN BLESS

So, I'm expecting to receive an introduction in Adams email as arranged. The lad previously told me he is very good at working with clients and is very capable of responding to questions without having to ask his Oga or partners for help. He agreed to all the details and sent the email. So, this is what Adam ends up receiving:

Quote:

DEAR MR. ADAM TOPM@N.

MR.PAUL INTRODUCE YOU TO ME AND HE TOLD ME THAT YOU WILL BE COMING HERE IN BENIN REPUBLIC WITH SOME CASH AND IPHONE. HE TOLD ME YOUR JOB WASH WASH JOB. ME I BASE IN SELLING OF CARS HERE IN BENIN REPUBLIC AND MY FATHER WORKS IN EMBASSY OFFICE. SO I WILL CROSS YOU BORDER WITHOUT ANY IMMIGRATION STOP YOU BECAUSE AM WELL KNOWN OVER THERE. TRY AND GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS YOU GOT THIS EMAIL SO THAT I WILL TELL YOU HOW YOU WILL COME TO AVOID ANY PROBLEM.

So, yeah....

I can't even begin to start on how absurd that looks. He knows Adam is a mugu and yet he talks to him like he's a guyman, using terms like Wash Wash. He also forgets the security question. I debated how best t reply. In the end, I just decided to ignore the issues as Adam since I really want this idiot to end up traveling.

Adam Replies:

Quote:

Hello Sir.

Thanks for contacting me. I had been wondering when I would hear from you. I wrote to Mr. Atrady and he told me to check my spam folder and there your email was! Yes, I will be arriving Friday at 2:15 in Cotonou. I will be bringing the cash with me. I will have it hidden. My passport forbids me from traveling to Nigeria. Mr. Atrady told me you can get me across the border into Nigeria where we will meet him and he can give us the black cash in exchange for the USD I am bringing. Is that what you mean by wash wash job? I have never heard that word before...

I am looking forward to meeting you and Mr. Atrady to successfully conclude our transaction.

Can you give me a picture of yourself so I can recognize you at the airport? And also directions where to meet you when I am there. I have never been to Cotonou before so I don't know my way around. I was going to be traveling with my business partner as well, but just yesterday he fell ill with influenza. He may have to remain in Holland.

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Adam

I hope this works out.

Lads are so predictable. Adam received this just now from the lad, who now wants to be called "Money Maker."

Quote:

DEAR MR. ADAM TOPM@N

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? I HOPE YOU WAKE UP IN GOOD HEALTH? IF SO THANKS BE TO GOD. WELL AM HERE TO RECEIVE YOU IN THE AIRPORT BY FRIDAY AS YOU SAID BUT BEFORE YOU TAKE TRIP WE NEED TO SETTLE ONE OF THE IMMIGRATION OFFICER BY NAME JOHNSON EMEKA.
HE IS INCHARGE OF THE AIRPORT AND WE NEED TO SETTLE HIM WITH THE SUM OF $5000 SO THAT THERE FELLOW IMMIGRATION TEAM WILL NOT SEARCH YOU AND FIND OUT WHAT YOU HAVE. GET BACK TO ME ASAP SO THAT I WILL DIRECT YOU HOW TO MAKE THE PAYMENT SO THAT EVERYTHING WILL GO SMOOTH.

Adam replies:

Quote:

Thanks for the reply. I can't send the money to you as I will be bringing the full 125,000 USD in cash with me. Mr. Atrady said I need every bit of that money for the cash cleaning procedure in Nigeria.

I still need a picture of you so I will know you at the airport. I attached a photo of myself to this email.

See you Friday,

Adam Topman

So now "Money Maker," knows that fakelad (aka Spender), is giving him a paltry 5,500 USD out of a true haul of 125,000 from the client. Let's hope that's additional motivation. [/b]
