casekonly Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 scammer baiting with results. http://www.419eater.com/ better than the destruction league. TITLE: The Tale of The Painted Breast SCAMMER NAME: Prince Joe Eboh SCAMMER LOCATION: Lagos, Nigeria MISC: None SCAMBAITER: Shiver Metimbers 'Prince' Joe Eboh contacts me with a classic 419 opening letter. I decide to make him jump through a few hoops before I'm prepared to agree to his proposition, and the results are amusing AND profitable, to the tune of $80 + $49 DHL shipping, so our scammer is down a whopping total of $129 From: Prince Joe Eboh Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 12:53 PM Subject: TRANSFER Prince Joe Eboh Dear Sir/Madam, I am fine today and how are you? I hope this letter will find you in the best of health. I am Prince Joe Eboh, the Chairman of the “Contract Award Committee”, of the “Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)”, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was set up by the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha who died on 18th June 1998, to manage the excess revenue accruing from the sales of Petroleum and its allied products as a domestic increase in the petroleum products to develop the communities in the Niger Delta Oil producing areas. The estimated annual revenue for 1999 was $45 Billion US Dollars Ref. FMF A26 Unit 3B Paragraph “D” of the Auditor General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Report of Nov. 1999 on estimated revenue. I am the Chairman of the Contract Award Committee, and my committee is solely responsible for awaiting and paying of contracts on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria. My Committee Awarded Contracts to foreign contractors for Drilling and Ecological Matters in the oil producing areas of Niger Delta. We overshot the contract sum by US$25,000,000.00. We have paid the contractors and withholding the balance of US$25,000, 000.00. But, because of the existence of some of the domestic laws forbidding civil servants in Nigeria from opening, operating and maintaining foreign accounts, we do not have the expertise to transfer this balance of fund to a foreign account. However, this balance of US$25,000, 000.00 has been secured in form of Credit/Payment to a foreign contractor, hence we wish to transfer into your bank account as the beneficiary of the fund. We have also arrived at a conclusion that you will be given 20% of the total sum transferred as our foreign partner, while 5% will be reserved for incidental expenses that both parties will incur in the course of actualizing this transaction, and the balance of 75% will be kept for the committee members. If you know that you will be capable of helping us actualize this transaction, you should send to me immediately the details of your bank particulars or open a new bank account where we can transfer the money US$25,000, 000.00, which you will be holding in trust for us until we come to your country for our share. Your nature of business does not matter in this transaction. The required details includes your company’s name, address, your private personal telephone/fax numbers, your full name and address, including your complete bank details where the transferred fund will be routed by the Apex Bank. Note that this transaction is expected to be actualized within 21 working days from the day the required details are forwarded to the Federal Ministry of Finance who will approve the needed foreign exchange control allocation for the release of this money to your account. Please, treat this as top secret. You should contact me urgently. Thanks for your cooperation. Yours faithfully, Prince Joe Eboh From: Father Hector Barnett To: Prince Joe Eboh Father Hector Barnett Financial Development London SW Dear Sir, My thanks for your very interesting email below. I would dearly love to help you however my ministry forbids me from entering any business deal with partners who are not part of our faith. I am sorry but there is nothing more I can do for you. If you ever decide to join our faith then of course I could help you both with my experience and financial support. I wish you well in your endeavour my brother. Blessings, Father Hector Barnett Financial Development - Holy Church of The Order of The Red Breast. From: Prince Joe Eboh Date: Friday, April 23, 2004 4:33 PM Subject: Re: I'm ready to join your faith. Dear Father Hector, If joining your faith is what it takes to help me of course, I am ready to joing you. I'm from a good christian family. I will do anything you want me to do in the faith. Don't forget that I have to transfer the money to your account as urgently as possible. Send me your account details. I hope to read your mail soon. Prince Joe Eboh. [Excellent! Time to put my dastardly plan into action] From: Father Hector Barnett To: Prince Joe Eboh Dear brother Eboh, Bless you for your prompt reply and may the lord God almighty send you many blessings (Amen). My brother, it is wonderful that you are considering joining our church, you will be most welcome in our Holy order. My brother, of course you will have to prove your commitment to our ministry. This will require you to send us a photograph of yourself showing part of the commitment ceremony that we will require (this is very simple), and you will also have to sign our Order of The Red Breast induction agreement form. The agreement form is very simple and only requires your name and signature. If you are in agreement to our terms above, please signify it to us as soon as possible and I shall arrange to give you the complete instructions for the photograph and agreement form. As soon as you have been inducted to our order then we can proceed with your business proposition immediately. Please note that we cannot agree to any form of communication other than email until after you have been inducted to our church. Blessings, Father Hector Barnett Financial Development - Holy Church of The Order of The Red Breast. From: Prince Joe Eboh Date: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 12:43 PM Subject: Agreement Dear Father Hector, Peace be unto you in the name of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ Amen. I'm in agreement with your terms. I will adhere strictly to your instructions. Send me a comprehensive instruction for the photograph and agreement. Do not forget that this transaction is between us and I can assure you that the ministry is going to benefit from it especially now that I am a member. I hope to read your mail soon. Stay blessed. Prince Joe Eboh. From: Father Hector Barnett To: Prince Joe Eboh Dear brother Eboh, Bless you for your interest in our church, and below you will find the complete induction procedure. First of course you will need to know a little more about our ministry. Our ministry was founded in 1774 by a wonderful lady by the name of Betsy Carrington (I have attached a photograph of her for your records). She spent many of her first preaching years in Kenya, spreading the holy gospel amongst the local people there. She was the first person male or female to promote Christian texts and beliefs to the Masai warrior tribe. The most famous account is when as a test she had to remove the top part of her clothes and paint the top half of her body and breast with the red Masai warpaint as a gesture of faith and belief to them so that they would accept her and trust her. She was almost immediately accepted by them and was one of the most trusted westerners known at that time. In her later years she returned to England and started her own ministry Holy Church of The Order of The Red Breast and was very active until her sad death in 1861. As a qualification to enter the Holy Church of The Order of The Red Breast, all followers must go through the initiation procedure that Miss Carrington made so famous. Of course in these modern times, female members do not have to paint their breast. They only need to make the symbol on their stomachs. However, all males must still show commitment to the church by having the symbol of the church marked on their breasts. My brother, this is what you will need to do in order to complete the church induction ceremony: You must remove your shirt and then paint/draw in red, the symbols of our church. So that you know exactly how the symbol must look, I have attached a photograph of four of our young inductees going through the procedure. Please use this picture to enable you to make the same marking on yourself. I have also attached a small picture showing the design in more detail. Next you will need to have a HIGH QUALITY photograph taken and sent it to us my email attachment. Once your photograph has been received we will then forward you the induction certificate. All this requires is your name and signature. Once you have signed and dated it, please send it back to me by email attachment. After that you will then be a full member of our beloved ministry and as well as being able to do business with you we can also offer financial help to you in the future if you ever need it. Our church is committed to helping any members in whatever way is possible. If you ever need money for charitable purposes, then you just need to contact us and quote your member number and we can arrange payments to you within 24 hours. I look forward to welcoming you into our membership my brother.

shai Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Ha ha...ha ha..ha ha........ha. You ARE going to play this guy out to the very end, right? "Blessed Brother in The Faith- Now that you have sucessfully fulfilled all of our initiation requirements, there remains, regrettably, one last hurdle...yet, it is the cornerstone of our faih, and duty requires me to broach the subject with you, even at the risk of losing your eternal soul to the fiery, stinking pits of Hell. It is not a small thing we ask of you, and it is entirely of your own volition, as coersion is frowned upon in the eyes of the Holy Father. "You must go out, into the world, and find a boy, preferably between the ages of 12 to 17, and know him carnally. This is no light task, but comfort can be found in the intimate knowledge of a man by another man as pure in heart as the lambs of the flock, and also by the fact that this is an action that is fully sanctioned by Our Father, and is practiced by many priests as a sign of their unwavering faith and piety. Unfortunately, as the world has strayed from the teachings of the Bible to a more secular reality, our actions have been misunderstood and misinterpreted by the laws of man, and therefore frowned upon heavily by those who wrongly assume that secular law supersedes the Word of our Lord. "Again, as proof of your character and Christian values, photographic evidence of the sex act is required as a matter of course. We live in an ever-changing world, and the act was formerly performed in the full presence of the congregation...now, the internet, for all of its faults and evils it has released upon the world, has provided us with a way to welcome other interested individuals into the fold at great distances from the Mother Church. "I eagerly anticipate and am saying prayers daily to appeal for your response within the next 48 hours, as time is fleeting, and we are in the business of saving your soul as well as other lost souls who come to us, seeking redeption and absoulution from the sins that have plagued us since the Garden of Eden and the loss of original innocence." Thank you, and yours in Christ, Father Hector Barnett ------------------------------------ Feel free to use that...just keep me posted, please. Thanks.

casekonly Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 my reply: Dear Ubuntu, I am so overwhelmingly overjoyous about winning a lottery! You see, my church has been going through some tough times. With Mrs. O'Flannahan missing and and no other church organist in town (she really knew how to pound on our organs!), we haven't been able to afford to import the great organist Johann Von Schtutennfukkin from Germany. I'm sure you've heard of him, if you're a God fearing man like myself. Anyhow, the orphanage burned to the ground a week ago today....It's been one stroke of bad luck after another. But this! This is utterly fantastic! God is smiling upon you and possibly hoping you'll pick him up a pack of smokes on the way to heaven. Thank you for helping us do the Lords work! Countless Blessings, Reverend Jim R. Casek notice that i call him ubuntu...it's from a movie...belushi was in...i'm going to call him somethign different every time i write back....rock!

shai Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 "Mundele" means "white man" in Swahili, BTW. Somehow, I think that addressing your audience with this title would not get you very far but I'm sure it would get a reaction or two, as I have it on good authority that this is the African equivalent to calling a black person in Amerikkka a nigger. Go ahead, make their day. They try to rob you, you insult them back. Seems like a fair deal to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 i decided to write another letter.... thanks shai should i praise his work on 'titanic' when/if he writes back? Dear Mundele, Why haven't you responded? I'm very anxious to get the lottery winnings into the hands of the church. Johann has been putting off his major European tour, and he says he can't put it off much longer. The whole congregation was informed of the amazing stroke of luck (with a sprinkle of our Lords good grace). We are all so happy! I cannot express to you how much we need this. Mrs. Johnson actually wet herself a bit when i told of the good news. May your life be long and prosperous. Sincerely, Reverend Casek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 That's good...but, what about this- "...Mrs. Johnson was so excited, that she soiled her undergarments...which strangely enough, made the congregation excited...and, the next you know, we were pulling a train on ol' Mrs. Johnson in the name of Our Lord, soiled undies and all. She's a special member of our flock- two hundred holy members later, she was still begging for deliverance." Maybe we're getting a little carried away....nah, this is fun, fuck these dudes. As long as you keep up the pressure, I'll plumb the depths of my depraved psyche for the worst filth I can conjure up. I'll try to get some more phrases in Swahili for you to drop on them....I should find out how you would say, "double anal penetrator" or "pus infected cum dumpster" in Swahili...imagine hearing that from a "man of the cloth". African white collar crime would be scandalized...simply, SCANDALIZED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, it provides Our Valued 12 oz. peers some much-needed comic relief in these trying times...or so I'd like to think.

COME HERE AND GET ROBBED BY A GUY IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME!" I showed this to my girlfriend today...she lked the idea of getting even, but didn't understand why people would be stupid enough to fall for this kind of scam. I said, "The beauty of it is twofold- it's trying to find the guy who is scamming people who is dumb enough to fall for this scam. He's as greedy as the people he fleeces, except the only difference is that he has more initiative." "Also, we're not trying to get anything out of him other than a good laugh...the only people getting rich are the international expediters. He's putting himself out there, and now it's time to square up with him on behalf of all the folks who got fucked, even though they probably wanted to believe he was an African prince that would make them rich." She understood, but she still thinks I need to spend less time on anonymous revenge and more time on, say, cleaning the bathroom. I think this wouldn't be a good time to tell her I piss in the sink, sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 haha. i'm gonna start pissing in my neighbors sink when i go over there. as for the scammers: i totally agree with what you told your girlfriend. someone pointed out to me that while i was wasting the scammers time, i am wasting my own time. here's the thing, though, it is good for a laugh, it's also making sure that these fuckwads aren't scamming someone else while they are trying to scam the aware. it's so amusing to read the pitch.

shai Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 You should read "Trick Baby" and "The Long White Con" by Iceberg Slim, if you want to get into the psychology of the con. I don't advocate fucking people over, but at the same time I'm not aboveobserving and using their weaknesses against them in my day-to-day, personally. I learned a ton of very useful insights in this area from this guy, and think that if you want to get ahead using your criminal mind, he is an absolute must-read. His other books are highly recommended, too. "Pimp-The Story Of My Life" is at the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
