I have been baiting a scammer for the past week or so, trying to humiliate him and waste his time (time he could be spending with real victims)

Just thought you might like to follow this

My e-mails will be in italics.

First E-Mail

FROM THE DESK OF MR ISSA KABORE
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.

Dear Friend,
I am MR ISSA KABORE the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Bank Of Africa(BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West-Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in thisbank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person Mr.Sheu Yuan-dong who died on February 16, 2000 in a gassy car accident with his entire family on there way back from Bobo Delaso the formal capital city of Burkina-Faso, and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

The said amount was U.S $9.8M (Nine million eight hundred United States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through yahoo search on foreign business relations here in Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso.

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased, to get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as youindicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant (A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, youwill be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me. Please, you have been advised to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.

I look forward to receive your hansom reply via this email address below. Yours faithfully,
MR ISSA KABORE

Dear Mr Kabore,

I am glad you found my credentials pleasing as a result of your Yahoo search. You will find that I am a successful American Football coach, and $9.8 million would go far in securing my place as a Head Coach. Before I conduct business, however, I would like to ask you to fulfil a simple request that I ask of everyone who initiates international business with me.

I will require a photograph (for recognition purposes) of yourself or a colleague holding an advertisement for a major team sponsor I have. Not only will this benefit me, it will also open a new avenue of revenue for you should they be sufficiently impressed.

The message I would like is:

"RICHIE P'S OWNAGE AND ELITE HAXXORZ"



I look forward to reciept of your next e-mail.


Yours Sincerely,

Walter Fox

Dear Friend,
How are you?Thank you for your email. This is the more clarification of what we have to follow in the process of the transaction, so please digest this mail and get back to me ASAP. I have found it necessary even before your demand to give you in-depth explanation on this deal and to give you details and breakdown of the modality which we have to follow to achieve this highly beneficial success. I am a banker and an insider. I know the process to be taken officially in the bank to investigate and verify your claim to grant you approval as the next of kin to the late customer.

I know and I am optimistic that this business deal will uplift our financial status, it’s just for you to follow my instruction and guidelines until the fund will enter your account .I need your absolute cooperation in this great project. Actually we need to build a memorandum of understanding and trust between each other, but to prove to you the legitimate of this transaction if you are having any doubt, I will like you to come to my country in person and see things your self, then if you are convinced that the transaction is real, we can now proceed further.

The legal aspect of this transaction will be handled by a lawyer who will represent you at the bank as your resident attorney. The need for a lawyer to represent you will be explained to you later in this brief. This business is a great deal and will need determination and great arrangement to succeed. The arrangement which has already been made is my underground responsibility in the bank in seeing that the whole process to be taken to achieve your approval and for the smooth transfer of your inheritance to your desired account is made without any conceivable hitch.

I assure you therefore that all loopholes and security measures are covered and all obstacles removed. This business deal will never endanger any of us on both sides. It is 100% free from any risk what so ever. To remind you, this transaction is not a child's play nor a little amount involved. We are talking of over 9.8m, dollars and so I will not like anybody (not even you) to spoil it for me because it had taken me years to arrive at the stage before I decided to look for a foreigner to assist me.


TRUST AND CONFIDENCE.
I need to emphasise on the need for trust and confidence on both side as the pillar for the success of this business. You need to reassure me that you will not betray me and sit on this fund when it finally comes into your custody, although I have seen your profiles

Before I finally decide to seize this opportunity to transfer the fund in his account using a foreigner as his next of kin, I have searched for one year far and near to find any of his relations to no avail. I made several enquiries to his country's embassy to locate any of his extended relative. This also proved unsuccessful. Hence, after these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family I decided to contact some one abroad or overseas to trust and transfer this fund to his account for our sharing and benefit. Hence I contacted you.


LEGAL IMPLICATIONS.
This deal will be covered with legal approvals from the bank and the Ministry of Justice. You will be approved officially by bank as the authentic relation (uncle) of the late customer through official bank process. Your approval will further be authenticated by legal back up documents to be procured by your attorney from the ministry of justice and related organs of the ministry like the probate registry where the probate certificate will be obtained. Bank will give you clearance certificate which you will tender to your receiving bank. This certificate will prevent any further inquiry as to the origin of your inheritance as it will be properly and clearly spelt out and stated there. it will not be therefore be suspected to be drug money or fund to sponsor terrorism.


YOUR ATTORNEY'S DUTY AND RESPONSSIBILITY.
Here I give you clear explanation on what the lawyer who will represent you will stand to do for you;
1).BECAUSE NO ONE WILL NOTICE THAT I AM THE PERSON MASTERMINDING THE CLAIM.AND YOU ARE NOT ALSO HERE TO FOLLOW UP THE PROCESS OF YOUR APPROVAL AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE LATE CUSTOMER, YOU WILL ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF A RESIDENT LAWYER TO REPRESENT YOU AT THE BANK AS YOUR ATTORNEY.

HE WILL FOLLOW UP YOUR APPLICATION AND PURSUE THE PROCESS OF APPROVAL UNTIL YOU ARE COMFIRMED AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED CUSTOMER AND APPROVAL GRANTED TO YOU TO INHERIT THE FUND IN HIS ACCOUNT.

2). HE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY LEGAL DOCUMENTS FROM THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE AND OTHER RELATED MINISTERIAL ORGANS LIKE THE PROBATE REGISTRY WHICH WILL BE NECESSARILY REQUIRED TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM AS THE AUTHENTIC NEXT OF KIN TO THE LATE CUSTOMER. THE WHOLE PROCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE COMPLETELY LEGAL.

3). THE LAWYER(YOUR ATTORNEY) WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIGNING OF THE FINAL PAYMENT RELEASE ORDER CERTIFICATE IN YOUR BEHALF FOR THE FUND TO BE TRANSFERED TO YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER APPROVAL HAS BEEN GRANTED.

THE SERVICE OF THE LAWYER TO YOU IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE NATURALLY YOU ARE SURPOSED TO BE PRESENT AT THE BANK FROM TIME TO TIME. SO THE LAWYER WILL ALWAYS STAND IN FOR YOU.BUT KNOW THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE PREVILAGED TO BE HERE FOR THE WHOLE PROCESS,IT WILL NOT BE WHOTWHILE SINCE YOU CANNOT DEFEND THE PROBINGS OF THE BANK FACE TO FACE AS YOU ARE ACTUALLY NOT THE REAL NEXT OF KIN AND DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LATE CUSTOMER.

HOWEVER, ALL INFORMATIONS THAT THE BANK WILL BE REQUIRED FROM YOU ON THE LATE CUSTOMER WILL BE PROVIDED TO YOU BY ME.YOU WILL OF COURSE NOT BE IN A HURRY TO GIVE BANK ANY INFORMATION WHEN YOU ARE CONTACTED WITHOUT RECEIVING ADVICE FROM ME.THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

BE REST ASSURED THAT THE SUCCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION IS ALREADY A FOREGONE CONCLUSIONS AS ALL ARRANGEMENT FOR THE SMOOTH TRANSFER TO YOUR ACCOUNT HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED.

THE TRANSFER.
The transfer of the fund (your inheritance) will begin with the signing of the 'FINAL PAYMENT RELEASE ORDER' by your attorney.

TRIP TO YOUR COUNTRY AND SHARING.
Immediately the transfer is made, I will submit my letter of resignation from bank prior to my trip to your country to meet you. You will be responsible for my visa arrangement. I will expect to stay at least six months in first instance to be able to arrange myself and my share. There will be banking in your country banks and investments in business ventures before thinking of returning to my country, If I find your country very conducive I will go for citizenship after reasonable period. Most of my investments will be understandably under your supervision.

TAKING OFF.
The understanding of this details and accepting to work with me in this deal is the starting point. I require you therefore to declare your decision immediately. I have a time frame to conclude the transfer of this fund to your account. I have 14 banking days to affect this, immediately your application is received by bank.

I will sent to you the bank official text of application form which you will fill with your company letter headed paper and send to me first for confirmation before you will send it to the bank email id and fax line. There will be some expenses in this process of this transaction, which to the both of us will partake for the smooth success of the transaction. If you can make it to my country that will be nice as you can understand that I can not travel due to my position in the bank.
Have a great day
Mr.Issa Kabore

Dear Mr Kabore,

Thank you for your e-mail and further details about this situation. I understand that no suitable family member is availiable to inherit these funds, and my own attorney will be required to assure the bank and transfer service of my legitamacy.

However, as I have previously stated, the trust issue I mentioned earlier is still critical to the success of this deal. It would not be the first time a business partner has caused significant financial damage to my team. I do not wish to make you uncomfortable, far from it, however it is a procedure I have adopted in order to assure me of a businessman's devotion to a deal. I feel this is especially important with so much money involved.

My team, the Tretznor Rams, already has an accumulated $32,000 for team funds and other expenses, so you understand how far this money will go.


I look forward to your reply with the security image.


Yours Sincerely,

Walter Fox
Head Coach,

Anyone who falls for one of these scams deserves it. But an entertaining read Kapitan_Phillip

[Letum]

Best not to post logs until the bait is over Kpt.

They oftern search the internet for key phrases in the scam letter to see if any sites
have reported it as a hoax yet so that they know when to change the letter they
send out.

It might blow your cover posting here to early.

I am a millionaire, hang on, I don't record playing the State Chinese peoples lottery. This email looks fishy, they want my bank details get out of town. Hang on a minute, they will deliver my winnings as long as I pay the insurance sum of £1800 I think not. And on that note I hit the delete button.

[Rotary Crewman]

I didn't read all of the wood carvings one but managed to get most of it. I can't believe he had managed to carve a full Commadore 64. Simply genius.

Good look with it Kapitan, scam him for all you can!
