FOOTBALL 419 - Barrister Michael Ihedu
I originally baited this scammer under a different name but it came unstuck fairly quickly.
A couple of weeks later I emailed him out of the blue under a different name and ...
Dear Michael
I was wondering why you haven't got back to me?
I thought we had agreed as soon as you sent me the photo of you holding
a sign with the password on it I would send you that $2000 by Western
Union.If you are no longer interested please let me know so I can forget the
whole thing for good.John Fatpants.
You'll notice I'm pretending we've had prior contact and indeed arranged some kind of deal.
Dear John Fatpants,
Sorry my dear, I have been waiting to hear from you for a long time now,
after sending several mails to you without any response from you, which
resulted somebody contacting me with your name to pay the money ($2000.00)
and I asked for more information regarding our correspondences up till now I
have never heard from him. Now I am a bit skeptical and want to be sure that
I am dealing with the right person, could you please forward to me our
previous correspondences for me to be sure as to enable us proceed then I
can give you what ever information you want from me. Also reconfirm to me
your telephone number to call.I await your urgent response.
Regards,
Michael Esq.
Well he's skeptical, but he's at least sniffing at the bait.
Dear Sir
I'm sorry but I haven't kept any of our correspondence for reasons of security and secrecy.
Regards,
John.
Dear John,
The problem is not paying the money. I only want to be sure to avoid
mistakes. Can you tell me the exact amount that is involved and give me your
telephone number as to call and have oral discussion with you.I wait your urgent response.
Regards
Michael
Dear Sir
OK then.
The number is -
+1 206-202-3221 [a web freebie of course]
Please, when you call I will only answer if you give me the password because I want to keep this secret.
The password is -
(YOU MUST SEE) THE 3 ACT PLAY [the name of my band's ep - I want a nice mugu inspired cover.]
I look forward to your call.
And indeed he calls.
Dear Mr. John,
Thanks for your mail, it was well received. Owing to be accurate to avoid mistakes in this transaction, I called you with the number and the password you sent to me and left a massage in your answering machine, please confirm. I will also want us to change the password for security reasons.
Can you please give me the accurate amount of this transaction to be sure?
I will be sending you what you requested from me after our telephone discussion. Sufficient information about me will be provided to satisfy your conscience, my major concern is to be sure that I have the right person, this is because of the other fellow who contacted me with your name. as you can see I have changed my email address for the safety of this transaction.
Thanks,
Michael.
Interesting he mentions "other fellow with my name" - although I think he's trying to cover his own lack of knowledge over this situation. Anyway I think I have him hooked. His greed has overcome his common sense.
Dear John,
How are you? I hope all is well with and your family.
It has given me much concern and worries over your silence not replying to
my mail sent to you. Is there anything complicating or confusing in your
thoughts over this transaction?Please state your position on this matter soonest.
I am expecting your spontaneous response.
Regards,
Michael.
I wasn't giving him the silent treatment, just didn't bother replying to him over the weekend.
I respond to his call to change the password.
Dear Sir
I received your call, thanks for calling.
Yes I agree we should change the password.
From now on every email I send to you will include the password -
MY SHEETS ARE STAINED
And perhaps every email you send me could have the password -
PENETRATE ME HARD
The amount of the transaction was exactly US$2000 but I cannot send it until I have that photo as discussed.
Sincerely,
John Fatpants (MY SHEETS ARE STAINED)
Dear Mr. John Fatpants,
Thanks for your mail, attached are my pictures as we agreed. Therefore send
the money to my secretarys name: DAVIS EMMANUELPlease comfirm the receipt.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Regards,
Michael.
However he forgets all about the photo.
Dear Sir
You forgot to attach the pictures to your email. Can you try again please.
Sorry I thought it went through, please confirm
Regards
Michael (PENETRATE ME HARD)

Click image for full-size view.The pictures are obviously not what I wanted so he's about to get into trouble. However, his remembering the password this time (I just realised I forgot myself) gives me an idea.
Dear Sir
I am very disapointed in your efforts to provide me with the required photo.
I quite clearly stated on numerous occasions that I wanted a photo of you holding a sign with the password written on it.
Both of these photos quite clearly do not show that.
Please send the correct photo ASAP!
Regards,
John Fatpants.
I deliberately not type the password in my email.
Dear Mr. John,
Let us be sincere to our selves work together like blood brothers to achieve
success in a timely manner. I have given you my pictures, which you
requested, what else do you need? How do you imagine me upon my status going
to the photo studio holding your carnal password (PENETRATING ME HARD) this
is not fair, please consider my status.How do you expect me to hold that blasphemous password if there is nothing
connected to that password (PENETRATING ME HARD) Because I have given you my
real picture, which I know, is transparent from every indication? I will
only let my secretary Ugochukwu Aboaja take a photograph holding your full
name or mine. If this is acceptable by you inform me immediately to proceed.Waiting to hear from you soon,
Regards,
Michael.
So he knows what the password means.
Time to lay down the law.
Dear Sir
Firstly I am disappointed you failed to notice that in my last email to you I failed to include the password. You should have pointed this out right away. The email could have been from anyone!
And this just proves my point as to why I require the photo. I have already explained my motives as to why I require the photo. Its a matter of security and trust.
And I am sorry you are offended by the password. However, you may remember the OLD password was ok but you wanted it changed.
I will remind you of the OLD password -
(YOU MUST SEE) THE 3 ACT PLAY [I still want that ep cover!]
I will assume your secretary is an honest and trustworthy person, but I am still disappointed that they know all about this transaction now. I thought this was to be secret. However the damage is now done and I will accept a photo of your secretary holding a sign with the password written on it. It can be the old password if you prefer.
I look forward to your reply.
Regards,
I offer him the old password as that's what I wanted all along anyway and I doubt he's going to use the 'carnal' one.

Dear Mr. John,
Thanks for your mail. An overdose of skepticism can spoil a good
relationship but a healthy one can help anyone/person distinguishes realbusiness opportunities and mirages. I welcome your mail to no fault. You
should not be disappointed because I have already noted your email
address,
anyway for security reasons let us continue with the new Password.My confidential secretary Ugochukwu Aboaja is not aware of this business
and
he is trustworthy, I will ask him to go and take the picture with the
password immediately for us to proceed progressively.I wish to inform you that I have deleted all your information from my
other
email box and decided to use this very one, which I only have the
password.
From now on, I will not respond to your mail without the password and
dont
respond to mine without the password.We should be thinking about investment plans because I am not a
businessman
and hence require advice from you on any lucrative business I may go
into
with my share of the money in your country.Thanks for your understanding; I wait for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Michael,
That's more like it - we'll see if we get that trophy yet...

I am still waiting to hear from you regarding the picture i sent to you.
Please confirm the receipt.Thanks,
Michael.
Hello Sir
Thank you very much for the photo of your secretary - I now know you are a man I can trust and as such I am happy to send the money to you.
Indeed I have already now been to Western Union and arranged it.
The control number is 2691435998, and you can receive this at their office in Lagos. I have put a control question and answer on this for added security.
The question is - Where's the Beef?
The answer is - I ate it.I hope now we can discuss the moving of the funds into my account.
Regards,
John Fatpants (I STAINED MY SHEETS).
A made-up control number of course.
(PENETRATING ME HARD)
Dear John,
Thanks for your mail, please let me know the senders name and address. Did
you send the money with my secretary name? If possible send the payment
receipt to me.Thanks,
Michael.
Dear Sir
Absolutely, I used your secretary's name as you wrote it in your last email. I will repeat here to make sure its correct -
UGOCHUKWU ABOAJA
I sent under the name -
John Oberon Fatpants

Dear John,
The control number you sent to me is incorrect, please check the number
and
resend it to me, if possible forward the payment slip to me, this is
because
my secretary went to the bank while the bank says that the control
number
is incorrect meaning that there is no money there, please confirm and
get
back to me ass soon as possible.I will be waiting for your urgent response.
Thanks,
Michael
Dear Sir
(I STAINED MY SHEETS)
I'm sorry, I got the number wrong slightly, it should be -
2691453998
I don't have the receipt on me right now, hopefully you are ok without it.
Regards.
Sadly our man never replied - must've twigged after two bad WU numbers.
End.
