Dear Mr. Useni:

I deeply apologize for having thought Mr. Daniel Okoro to be untrustworthy. After several hours on the telephone with Wetsern Union, I found there was an error in the payment and Mr. Okoro was never able to pick up the payment for his services. I feel awful about this and began to worry that perhaps Mr. Okoro had taken my money.

Western Union has returned to me both the $4100 for Mr. Okoro's fees as well as the service charge and taxes on the on the service charges. My bank account has been returned to the full amount that was in there before I had all this trouble with Western Union (the lady I originally dealt with was very new and she did not understand the transaction very well.

However, Mr. Useni, I would prefer not to use Mr. Okoro's services at this point, even though it was my mistake to accuse him of stealing from me- for that accusation I feel very awful. I would be happy to pay some extra fees to use the sources of another lawyer recommended by the Intertrust Bank if you can reccommend one. If $4100 is the normal fees for processing these documents, I would be wiling to pay up to $5100 for any troubles that I may have caused during this business transaction.

Please respond to me at your next convenience, Mr. Useni, and I look forward to hearing from you very soon so that we can transfer the inheritance from Graham Peterson.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

Dear Scamblog,

I want you to send me details of the payment you sentto Daniel okoro(SAN), With the details I will be ableto check from the western union web site to know whocollected the money if it was actually sent.

If you want to be sure of who collected the money Iwill also advice you contact western union find outfrom them who collectede the money they will be ableto tell you who,the time and date.

As regards to another person that can help concludethis, it is the duty of the bank to recommendedanother lawyer if they see any thing wrong in whatDaniel Okoro did.

For you to point accusing fingers, you have to be sureyou have enough facts against him other wise you willbe making a wrong judgement.

Do all these and get back to me.
Regards,Useni


I'm going to hold off on this one. I feel terrible for having accused Okoro of being a thief (even though he is one.) Now I better explain to Mr. Useni how it was all just a big misunderstanding, like one of those episodes of Three's Company. I will explain to him that it was an error on my part, but I feel very foolish and would prefer to not deal with Mr. Okoro anymore. Or something like that. I'll give those weenies a few hours.

FAO:Scamblog

Are you making fun of the whole thing?.
You better be serious.
Daniel Okoro(SAN)

I'm not going to respond to Okoro on this one- remember- I don't trust him and want Pius Useni to send me to another lawyer. How long can we drag this out?

Dear Mr. Useni:

I fear Daniel Okoro may have stolen payment for $4100 because he says I never sent it. I have a bank statement that says I have over $4100 less in my account because I wired Mr. Okoro the money- I know that I have $4100 less than I did. There could be a Western Union error, and I will be investigating this just to make sure, but I am writing to tell you I have no faith in Mr. Okoro- I do not believe him to be a trustworthy man and I do not wish to deal with him.

Is there some other way perhaps that we can take care of Graham Peterson's account? Can the bank reccommend someone else, a more trustworthy man who can handle these types of documents? I refuse to believe that Mr. Okoro is the only man in Lagos who is capable of dealing with this type of transaction, and I look to you, Mr. Useni, to help find an alternative lawyer so we can settle Mr. Peterson's inheritance.

Thank you very much for your attentito this matter, and I wait patiently for your reply.

Sincerely,
Scamnlog

If you ever have any banking needs, place your trust in Intertrust.

Dear Joan:

I know Intertrust Bank is a bank to be trusted but I have run into a slight problem with an attorney that was reccomended to me by your bank. Mr. Daniel Okoro and Partners I fear have taken my $4100 that I wired to him to pay for his services. He claims he never received payment, but I have a bank statement to prove that I gave $4100 to Western Union to pay for Mr. Okoro's services.

It is also possible that there is an error in payment somewhere, and that I am investigating. However, I would recommend that you not refer other Intertrust Bank customers to Mr. Okoro until it is proven that Mr. Okoro did not take my money and accuse me of never sending it.

If you have any further questions about this situation, please contact me via e-mail.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

FAO:Scamblog

You try and be truth full with yourself.Don't waste our precious time on this. This payment isnot in the western union records you can check it andget across to us.

Regards,
Daniel Okoro (SAN)


Time to turn the heat up a little more.


Dear Mr. Okoro:

On the contrary I feel it is you who has not been truthful with me. My bank account has over $4100 missing from it because I wired you the money and you are telling me you never received it. I suspect you are trying to get another $4100 from me and it makes me angry.

Rest assured I will be reporting you to Intertrust Bank and to Mr. Pius Useni, who I have already notified that you are not a man to be trusted. I have an important business transaction with Mr. Useni that is hinging on your services, and you are accusing me of making a mistake with the money.

I will contact Western Union today and if I find out that you have indeed not picked up the fee for your services, I will cancel the wire and contact Intertrust Bank to refer me to the services of a competent man because Mr Okoro, I do not believe you are competent enough to handle my affairs.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

Dear Mr. Okoro:

Thank you very much for responding. The following information is the information you have asked for:

1) Rufus Sixx
2) 12256 Wetcox Avenue, San Diego, CA 92114
3) Daniel Okoro
4) Ikeja Lagos Nigeria
5) Purpose?
6) Project
7) RN7692239445
8) $4100

I don't know why there is no record of this transaction because the lady gave me a receipt. Perhaps you should try to check it again at your convenience. If I can be of any further asistance in this, please let me know, as I have some very important business to take care of with these documents and I understand I need to hurry and take care of this before it is too late.

Thank you very much for all your help, and I very much look forward to concluding this transaction.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

When I checked the westernunion on the net with the information on the firstattachment no record to show that you actually paidthis money.

I will wait to hear from you.
Yours faithfully,
Daniel Okoro


I need a break to think this one out. My goal is to keep him wasting his time. My strategy is to look like an idiot that has no clue what he's doing and needs to have my hand held by the Nigerians. I am an inept and incompetent person with money to give to perpetrators of 419 fraud. My tactics are generally apologizing profusely for my mistakes and trying to do things again. At this point I'm thinking of bringing in Useni...yeah, that's it. Useni can help me with this.

Dear Mr. Useni:

I am beginning to question my faith in Mr. Daniel Okoro. I sent him his fees via Western Union and he tells me he never received the money! I think he may be trying to take more money for his services because he knows that once we complete the transaction for Graham Peterson's inheritance I will have plenty of money.

What do you think Mr. Useni? I know that Intertrust Bank recommended his services, but I am beginning to worry that he is not a man to be trusted, since twice I have sent him money (the first time I made an error) and the second time he says I never sent it. I am also beginning to believe that he has taken my money and wants more.

Please forgive me Mr. Useni for questioning Mr. Okoro's legitemacy, but I am beginning to wonder if it would not be a better idea to use the services of someone else.

Please get back to me on this, as I am very worried that Mr. Okoro may have taken my money.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

FAO:Scamblog

If I have the above information by email, I will beable to collect the money even if you dont send thereceipt by attachment.I will wait to hear from you.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Okoro

Now it's getting fun! But I guess I really ought to send that receipt with some apologies to keep the game going.

Dear Mr. Okoro:

I deeply apologize for the problem with the attachment problem. Somehow when I was writing the e-mail I made a mistake and the receipt did not paste properly. I will try to send you the receipt again.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

Updated Western Union receipt in Mr. Okoro's name. How could I have been so incompetent!

I conveniently "forgot" to attach a new receipt to this, just to piss him off and waste his time. I'll post the new receipt in a minute.


Dear Mr. Okoro:

I again thank you very much for your patience in this transaction. I have contacted Western Union and they put me on hold for almost 1/2 hour! I then explained to them the situation and they told me to stop by the local office in San Diego to take care of the details for this transaction.

I am attaching a new receipt to this e-mail (please forgive the quality as my scanner at work is not working as well as it did 4 years ago!). Please contact me if there are any problems and we will resolve them quickly so that Mr. Useni and I can complete our transaction involving Mr. Graham Peterson.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

Dear Rufus Sixx,

That will be fine. For the bank to recommend Mr DanielOkoro (SAN) that shows that he is capable.Please effect the necessary error so that we canproceed.

Regards,
Useni


I'm thinking maybe I ought to let Useni know that Okoro is trying to find a way to screw Useni out his cut of my dearly beloved Graham Peterson's inheritance. But nahhh...I'll wait a bit.

Dear Mr. Useni:

I very much apologize for the holdup. Unfortunately, Mr. Okoro did not give me very clear instructions for delivering payment for his services, and there was an error in my payment. Personally, I think Mr. Okoro is not very intelligent, but I'll take your word that he's a good lawyer. I will get these details taken care of this afternoon and hopefully will be able to get the necessary documents to claim Graham Peterson's inheritance.

I very much look forward to meeting you,

Sincerely,
Scamblog

...But Okoro's a fucking unfriendly jackass placing the blame squarely on me, the guy that wants to give him money!!


FAO:Scamblog

I received your mail with attached western union slip.

You did not follow the instruction given. You aresupposed to effect the money through bank wiretransfer with the account details given where you haveT.O Malomo as the beneficiary of the account.

If I have to receive the charges through western unionmoney transfer you have to state the particulars inthis manner.

Receivers Name:Daniel Okoro
Receivers address:Lagos Nigeria
Senders name Scamblog
Senders address:Your address will follow

After sending it you will be given a test question andanswer which you will also send to me, make sure thetext question and answer should be.

Test question should be what purpose?.
Answer will be:Project

It is not possible for me to collect this moneybecause receiving location I saw is Netherland and notLagos Nigeria.

Since you have sent it by western union I will adviceyou change the particulars by calling western unionoffice ask them to change the particulars toReceiver's name Daniel Okoro the receiving addresswill be Lagos Nigeria.

In this case T.O Malomo willnot appear.With this I will be able to collect the fund if I havethe text question and answer. If you are given anyother information that will enable me collect themoney also let me know.

Do this and get back to me.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Okoro(SAN)


Dear Mr. Okoro:

I apologize for all the confusion with the money wire. part of the problem is that I misunderstood your instructions. Also, the lady I dealt with at Western Union was very new to the operation and told me that all my paperwork was in order. Apparently it was not. I will immediately call them and get the data changed so as to facillitate payment for your most generous services. Unfortunately I do not have a cellular telephone and my landline has been down due to some construction on the highway close to our house (I thought it was because of a storm). However, please give me your telephone number and I will call you as soon as my telephone access is restored to take care of any other problems.

Thanks for all your patience and generous services,
Scamblog

Dear Mr. Useni:

I am very pleased to announce that I have wired the necessary fee to Mr. Okoro's representative in the Netherlands. I am assuming that upon receipt he will send me the documents necessary to finish our business. Please let me know what to do next so that we may take care of our amicable business together very soon.

Sinceely, your friend and trusted business associate,
Scamblog

Dear Mr. Okoro:

Thank you very much for your patience and hard work in helping claim my inheritance. I have wired the $4100 fee to Mr. Malomo and am including the receipt as an attachment for proof. Please let me know when you receive this and e-mail me the necessary documents that I need to take care of my business.Again, i thank you very much for your hard work, and wish you the best of luck.

So I guess that other name was the proper one. Here's my response:


Dear Mr. Okoro:

I will take care of the transaction approximately 5p.m. Pacific Standard Time and forward you a copy of the receipt. The name I will send it to is T.O. MALOMO.

Please forgive my telephone problems- a terrible storm has knocked out many of the lines. I did not realize you tried to call me- perhaps you spoke with my brother or cousin when you called, and I must have been at work or in San Francisco on business.

Thank you very much for your help Mr. Okoro, and again, I will get that payment wired to T.O. MALOMO and send you a copy of the receipt.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

FAO:Rufus Sixx

I will wait for a copy of the wire slip as soon as youeffect the payment to the account given to you. With this, I will be able to confirm payment. When Iconfirm payment, I will process your original fundrelease documents which I will send to you for yourendorsement as the beneficiary.You can send the wire slip by email attachment or yousend it by fax.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Okoro(SAN



So I didn't wire the money yesterday. Okoro needs to be more specific in his requests!

Dear Mr. Okoro:

Again, I thank you for all your help in this and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Now I just have to figure out what all this banking mumbo jumbo is. It looks like they want me to credit an account in the Netherlands for $4100. I'm not entirely sure I understand what they want me to do, but courtesy of 419eater, I've got a sweet fake Western Union receipt to send!

Dear Scamblog,

Great. Now I have to make a fake Western Union money order. My photo editing skills aren't that good.

FAO:Scamblog

We received your mail. I want to correct oneimpression. I was never recommended by Mr Useni, I wasrecommended by The International Trust Bank. I am anaccredited attorney to the bank.

Claims of this nature is normally handle by qualifiedattorney's like us who is also equivalent to thequeens counsel of England.

I cannot accept cheque because foreign cheques aredifficult to cash. In this case I dont receive paymentin that manner. If you are ready to make this paymentkindly let this chambers know so that we can tell youhow to go about it.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Okoro(SAN)


Damn! After I spent all that time making that check for him from Buzzard National Bank!

Dear Mr. Okoro:

I am indeed ready to pay for the services you have so graciously provided, have set up a separate account for some other business negotiations, and will be debiting said account for your $4100 fee. How would you prefer that we arrange payment? Through Western Union, a bank draft, or perhaps some other manner?

Unfortunately I will not have Internet access for a couple of days due to a business trip to San Francisco, so I will not be able to view your response until I return. Please let me know at your convenience how to go about arranging for payment and I will do so as soon as I return from my trip.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Scamblog,

Thanks for your mail. The only way we can meet is whenthe fund in Grahams Peterson account is transfer toyour account as the new beneficiary.I will have to apply for my annual leave and come overto the U.S. I will be expose to a lot of business withyour assistance because my plans is to start businesswith my share of the money and you will be in controlbefore I finally retire from my bank work.

I dont want you to tell Daniel Okoro (SAN) that I amthe one who introduce you to him because they dontknow that I am behind this transaction. All you needto tell them is that the management of the bankactually introduced you to them.

In this case I want you to contact the attorneysuggest to him that you will like to send the money tohim by money gram or western union. You can also askhim to send you an account where you will wire thefund to.To me I believe that of the account will becheaper since sending western union is more expensive.

Please do this and get back to me.

Regards,
Useni


So I say....

Dear Mr. Useni:

As always it is a pleasure to hear from you. I will indeed negotiate with Mr. Okoro to pay for the services he has so graciously provided. I will get back to you as soon as possible when the transaction with Mr. Okoro is complete.

Sincerely,

FAO:Scamblog

I am sorry I dont know Mr Useni you mentioned in yourmail.You have a limited time to address your claim and ifis not address on time things might not be in yourfavour.Act fast on this.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Okoro (SAN)


My response:

Dear Mr. Okoro:

I'm surprised you don't know Mr. Useni- he reccomended you for your services and I assumed since he reccomended your services that you were a man of God. But that's OK, you have been very helpful in helping me to make the claim as Graham Peterson's heir, and it seems you are a very trustworthy person.

Can I perhaps send you a check for your services? If you can give me a mailing address I will immediately send you the check so that Mr. Useni and I may take care of our business.

Thank you so much for your help Mr. Okoro, and I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Sincerely,
Scamblog

Dear Scamblog,

I received your mail I am happy over your plans.Why did you end your write up with "Scamblog"What do you mean by that.If you conclude with the attorney kindly contact me.

Regards,Useni


That's a boner if I ever pulled one! I guess I should inform the reader that I sign my e-mails with a false name and just change the name for Scamblog.

Dear Mr. Useni:

Thank you very much for writing to me and helping facilitate this business agreement over Graham Peterson, and also thank you very much for your help by reccomending Daniel Okoro and Partners for their legal services. Southern California Amblog (SCAmblog) is a small internet services business I run in San Diego and sometimes I sign my e-mails from the business when there is business involved.

I asked Daniel Okoro and partners to either arrange a business meeting so I can pay the $4100 for his services or allow me to send him a check for said amount. Please let me know when we can arrange for a business meeting to finalize everything regarding Graham Peterson. I believe I am related to him very, very distantly. Perhaps he was a fourth or fifth cousin- we have no family documents that inform us of that part of the family.

Again Mr. Useni, I thank you very much for this wonderful opportunity and look forward to meeting you very soon!

Sincerely,

Rufus Sixx
SCAmblog

Here's the check I'm going to send Useni- I mean- Okoro- for his "legal" fees for whatever the hell he did to make me the "heir" to my allegedly deceased relative "Graham Peterson." You think I ought to cut the typed part and just write it out?

FAO:Scamblog,

We shall wait to receive your new banking detailswhere the fund will be transfer to after completingall necessary formalities in your favour.You have to act fast to enable us complete the processon time.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Okoro(SAN)



And my response?...

Dear Mr. Okoro and Partners:

Thank you very much for all your help and all your support. As I mentioned to Mr. Useni, I will be travelling to several parts of Africa some time in August (Morocco, Senegal, Mauritania, Sierra Leon Guinea, and Ivory Coast. It may be easier for me to catch a flight to Lagos from Abidjan and meet you at your office in Nigeria or I can mail you a check to complete our transaction. Which would you prefer?

Thank you so much for your attention in this matter, and I very much look forward to meeting you and Mr. Useni!

Sincerely,
Scamblog

So how did Useni know I had spoken with Okoro? They're the SAME fucking person!

Dear Scamblog

I am very happy to hear that you have sent an email tothe attorney requesting his help.You have to wait to hear from the attorney to thiseffect. I am also proud doing this with your kind ofperson. I want you to make sure this is between usalone. I have so much trust in you. I know when we arethrough with this both familis can sit together andcelebrate this opportunity.I will wait to hear from you as soon as you hear fromthe attorney.

...And my Response:

Dear Mr. Useni:

I have set up an account for this occassion and am waiting for the bank to transfer the proper legal fees to my account so I can pay for Mr. Okoro's services. I should be able to take care of that tomorrow, but my transaction will not take place until tonight at 12 a.m. Pacific Time because I requested the funds transfer at the bank this morning and they said the funds would not be available to tomoorrow. When they are available I will contact Mr. Okoro to pay for his services so we can complete this transaction.

Thank you again for contacting me, and God bless you Mr. Useni!

Sincerely,
Scamblog

Dear Mr. Okoro:

Thank you very much for contacting me in this matter and for offering to represent me.I have set up a separate bank account to take care of this situation to make accounting easier for all parties involved, however I will have to deposit some additional funds in it to cover your expenses.

OK, I gotta make this somewhat realistic. First off, we need to keep this transaction in secret, so I think he's going to have to e-mail at another e-mail- howabout jokoba@____.com- yeah, named for the infamous "James Okoba!" Perhaps Useni and Okoba are one and the same- that would truly be sweet. I'll tell him how my wife and sons sometimes check my e-mail, so it would be better to keep the transaction as a surprise. Once they hit me at my other Jokoba, I'll give out my "bank" details, maybe some more personal "info."

FAO;Scamblog

We were in receipt of your mail seeking ourrepresentation before the International Trust Bankconcerning your claim.

I guess I better let Useni know I contacted his "lawyer." One that uses a Yahoo! address, of course, rather than real e-mail.

Dear Mr. Useni-

Thank you very much Mr. Useni for your advice. I have sent an e-mail to the attorney requesting his help in this matter and look forward to completing the transaction.

I love the "bank's" e-mail address. You'd think being a bank they'd have their own e-mail, but then again this is "Pius" we're dealing with- the Nigerian scamster with his finger on the trigger to deliver YOU all the false documents you need for verification! Here 'tis, my verification from "Intertrustbank."

Attention:Scamblog

Following the receipt of your application find attached a copy of letter from the bank acknowledging your application. Your application is under verification and we hope to complete the verification soon.You shall hear from us when remittance formality is completed.

Yours faithfully,

Pius is a goldmine of stuff to adorn my blog. Now I've got to figure out how to get more info from him.

Dear Mr. Pius:

Thank you very much for contacting me. I would be very interested in participating in this transaction and hope to God that we can work together to accomplish all our goals as business associates. Recently, I inherited a very large sum of money and will be travelling to Africa on a vacation, but because I am a businessman, I wouldn't mind some business negoitiations with you Mr. Pius.

Please call me at (616) 786-0488 and we can discuss the details further.

And because the business world can be very dangerous, I assume you will be e-mailing me copies of your passport and other financial documents from the International Trust to prove the legitimacy of your claim.

Again Mr. Pius, IO deeply thank you for contacting me and look forward to amicable relations with you in the future.

Sincerely,
Dr. Rufus Sixx

urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably
informed of it's swiftness and confidentiality.

For the purpose of introduction,I am Mr Pius useni,Head, Banking Operations, International Trust BankPlc, in charge of personal and corporate accountsabove US$5,000,000.00(five million US Dollars only). Icame to know of you in my private search for areliable and reputable person to handle a veryconfidential transaction which involves the transferof a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence.

THE PROPOSITION:

A foreigner, late Mr Grahams Peterson, an OilMerchant/Contractor with the Federal Govenment ofNigeria, until his death three years ago in a ghastlyauto crash, banked with us here at International TrustBank Plc, Lagos, and had a closing balance ofUSD$21.5M ( Twenty-One Million, Five Hundred ThousandUnited States Dollars only) which the bank nowunquestionably expects to be claimed by any of hisavailable foreign next of kin or alternatively bedonated to a discredited trust fund for arms andammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.

Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Bank toget in touch with any of the Peterson family orrelatives but all have proved to no avail. It isbecause of the perceived possibility of not going tobe able to locate any of late Mr Grahams Peterson'snext of kin (he had no known wife and children) thatthe management under the influence of our Chairman,Board of Directors, Retired Major General Kalu UkeKalu, that an arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to theTrust Fund for Arms and Ammunition which will furtherenhance the course of war in Africa and the world ingeneral.

In order to avert this negative development, myselfand some of my trusted colleagues in the bank now seekfor your permission to have you stand as late MrGragams Peterson's next of kin so that the fund,USD$21.5M would be subsequently transferred and paidinto your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin.

All documents and proves to enable you get this fundhave been carefully worked out and we are assuring youa 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be 30%of the total amount, 5% has been set aside forexpenses while the rest would be for myself and mycolleagues for investment purposes in your company orany country of your choice where the returns oninvestment will be optimal.If this proposal is acceptable to you and you do notwish to take advantage of the trust we hope to bestowon you and your company, then kindly get to meimmediately via my e-mail furnishing me with:

I really need some more photos with which to adorn my blog. Kenny Rogers simply isn't producing, so following the advice of 419eater I'm going to have to cut him off. If 419eater's advice is good, I'll be getting plenty of whatever I want from Kenny. After all, I have plenty of money leftover from my "dead grandma's" inheritance.

Dearest Dr. Rogers:

I am very sorry but if you are not willing to send me a copy of your passport or anything else to prove that you are not trying to scam me out of money I will not be able to give you any sensitive personal information. However, I wish you the best of luck in all your business dealings and hope someone can help you.

Regards, Scamblog
