Being retired, one looks for things to amuse themselves I have found playing with Nigerian Scams to be very entertaining. They generally all start the same way a blind e-mail claiming that the sender is holding monies that are a prize or an inheritance that belongs to the recipient. The fun is in providing wrong and misleading information to frustrate the scammers– generally totally outrageous “personal” information is accepted by the scammers without question – the only thing that is questioned is the fees that are claimed by the scammers and “paid” by the “victim” when they don’t pan out.
Please note if you are offended by references that can be sexual in nature, you might not want to read this — I did use such references in address to be more outrageous to the scammers, but they never challenge the references. It should also be noted that I did not change any spellings or punctuations in the scammers e-mails.
Thus it started:

WOW I have inherited $2,850,000 and all I have to do is provide them my identification and bank name. So I do, sort of anyway, with a little warped imagination and a few minutes on PhotoShop and George Mason, Brothel Owner is “born”. Oh and if you are wondering all addresses, phone numbers, zip codes, account numbers, etc are products of my warped mind. I figured since Charles Manson wasn’t using his face in public, then I would — not bad for a 74 year old, looks even better with the swastika Photoshoped off his forehead.

Paul
There seems to be a disconnect at your end, I sent the $85 fee, when I checked with the local Western Union, they confirmed that the MTCN that I sent you was correct, and that the MTCN was signed for by someone named David Olds at your end.
Now I don’t know about you, but $85 is a lot of money to me, I mean my girls have to turn at least2 tricks each day for me to make that much money, and with the depression going on here, the traffic of johns is geting slower and slower each day.
Now I have done what you told me to, suggest you clean up your own house and let’s get on with business.

Now the Game is starting to get good, note the degradation of English skills – poor Paul is starting to wonder is he had competition – what is particularly interesting is that Paul is supposed to be the local Western Union official, but he never tells me that he is in any text, just in his address and signature block – also I guess the recession has taken it’s toll on my money, somehow I “lost” $50,000 – maybe Paul is just rattled and got the number wrong.

Per Western Union, the money was signed for by a David Olds, who had all the proper identifications/numbers/answers. Per Western Union when someone showed up with the MCTN number, answers to the questions — he or she would be given the money. Now since I used the question/answer that you provided and only sent YOU the MCTN number, I can only presume you have a problem in your organization, maybe someone is reading your emails. Regardless I followed your instructions, therefore you are going to have to eat the $85 cost and get me my money

Paul sees the light – he decides to waive his $85 loss and move on to the next phase of the scam and tells me that I need to send $1,350 for stamps and affidavits of ownership – I think we can guess how I am going to respond to that.

Dr Martin — While I have previously expressed doubts about your intellect, I now have to express doubts about your integrity and intentions.
I received the following note the other day, you will note the names at numbers 13, 16, and 17 — these are all names that you have provided me and here they appear on a list of Scammers? At this point I have to question your motives in asking for monies, I think the only way that I can come to trust you is that you go ahead and send me the promised monies and I will then repay you your fees.

Subject: FUNDS TRANSFER : YOU HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE WRONG OFFICES
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 03:33:06 -0300
NIGERIAN FOREIGN PAYMENT INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT
RE: FRAUD ALERT/FINAL!!!
ATTENTION: BENEFICIARY
The Economic Financial Crimes Commission {EFCC}, through our intelligence Monitoring Network have discovered that some group of unscrupulous elements have fraudulently using the federal government of Nigeria letter headed paper to miss-inform creditors like you causing a lot of problems and irregularities towards the release of your long overdue payment because of all this fraudulent act this office has been dully intervened on the release of your funds. We have been mapped out to verify and investigate properly on your fund by the current president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Umar Musa Yar’Dua. Based on our findings in this investigation department we wish to warn you against some Miscreants, Hoodlums and Touts who go about scamming innocent people by claiming to be who they are not and thereby tarnishing the image of this wonderful country, NIGERIA.
We were informed that some Hoodlums are contacting you in respect to the collection of your fund which was long approved in your favour. As a matter of fact we have been on this investigation for some time, known to no one but the Presidency and some top government official who are in support of this investigation teamed to help stop fraudulent activities in country, and as well restore the image that has been tarnished by this group of people.
Although we have been able to come up with some good result about the people that have extorted money from you illegally, and we wish to list them so that you will personally indicate them by writing back to us with the name of whom scammed you among them as we want to make sure your payment is routed to you without any further delay. Note that we will surely deal and bring to book the people using the names of government officials below. If only you will cooperate with us by co indicating correctly any of them.
The Scammers using below government officials names have been arrested:
1) Prof. Charles soludo
2) Chief Joseph Sanusi
3) Dr. R. Rasheed
4) Barrister Awele Ugorji
5) Rev. Nicholas Smith (Guaranty Trust Bank Plc)
6) Barrister Ucheuzo Williams
7) Mr. Ernest Chukwudi Obi
8) Dr. Patrick Aziza (Deputy Governor – Policy / Board Member)
9) Mr. Tunde Lemo – Deputy Governor – Financial Sector Surveillance / Board Member
10) Mrs. W. D. A. Mshelia – Deputy Governor – Corporate Services / Board Members
11) Mrs. Okonjo Iweala
12) Mrs. Rita Ekwesili
13) Dr. Paul Martin
14) Barr Jacob Onyema
15) Dr. Godwin Oboh: Director Union Bank Of Nigeria.
16) Uzo Orji
17) Kingsley Emenike
18) Mr John Collins: Global Diplomat Director.
The above listed names are been traced/investigated by the EFCC and some of them have eloped the country, and note that if any of them is caught and found guilty he/she we go to jailed for 25 years (Twenty Five Years) as it is under the Degree 47 of the Constitution of this bank under the section 101(b)of criminal law. So we are waiting for you to write us back and inform us if any of the above names or any other one claiming to have your FUND from NIGERIA, have Extorted money from you; or once contacted you so that we can start taking the necessary procedural steps prior to bringing them to book and having your fund wired into your Bank account as nominated accordingly. Incase the name of the Hoodlum that scammed you is not listed above, we will advise that you forward to us his/her name and his contact so that we can trace them and as well bring them to book.
We apologise on behalf of the President and the people of Nigeria for any delay and lost this must have coursed you in any way and promise that such thing will not occur again in the future. More importantly, if you are currently dealing with any one of them regarding your fund, we urge you to stop further contact with them as you are taking a very big risk!!! It might interest you to know that you will never get your fund from them as they have nothing to offer. The hoodlums will continue coming up with expenses and thereby requesting for money from you until you go Bankrupt.
Mrs. Farida Waziri
Contact me immediately, as we are here to fight crimes and serve humanity the best way we can. Official notice has been sent to Foreign Security Units in collaboration to ensure genuine and success implementation of all payment done over funds owed to beneficiaries. We shall further monitor your funds until you receive your fund.
We look forward to your maximum cooperation in anticipation.

Wonder if Lewis realizes his office has been involved in a scam?
————————————————————————————————————————–
From: George M.
To: WesternunionPaymentDepartment (paymentdepartmentwesternunion@ymail.com)
Actually I don’t have $85 available — however because of the confusion and your admission that your office has been participating in a scam, I have e-mailed the Ministers of Finance and Ministers of Justice in both Nigeria and Benin andasked that they investigate your office so that the scammers can be arrested and tried. Further in their response to me, they will see that all fees and permits are waived so that the monies can be sent on to me.
Isuggest you go ahead and send the money before they visit you.

No you don’t seem to understand, I already sent $85, if someone in your organization made off with it, that isn’t my problem, it is your problem — I have paid all fees in good faith, you are responsible for seeing that thefunds were used in their intended purpose. It is now your responsibility to “eat”the fee and fulfill your obligation to send me my monies. Then you can hold an internal investigation and find your inhouse crook.
