TITLE: Another f*#king scambait
SCAMMER NAME: Charles Bosah/Andy Uba
SCAMMER LOCATION: Lagos, Nigeria
SCAMBAITER: Shiver Metimbers
Here we have yet another bog-standard 419 scam. This time I
decided to see if this scammer would accept being cursed at, so
I decided to invent a new type of Tourette's Syndrome.
Please not that this scambait is in no way meant to poke fun
at real sufferers, rather it is a test at the level of abuse that
can be given to a scammer.
WARNING: Lots of bad language
follows, so if you are easily offended then please do not read any
further.

LAGOS-NIGERIA.
DEAR FRIEND,
My name is DR CHARLES OBOSAH, INTERNAL AUDITOR MUTUAL TRUST BANK
PLC. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our bank Mr.JONATHAN
GHUNIAM with account number 14-255-2004/ASTB/123-99 who perished
in an auto-crash in october 15 2003.
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched
with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive
as no one has come to claim his funds of US$9..5m (Nine Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), which has been with
our branch for a very long time.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used
as the next of kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than
four years, because money will be recalled to the bank treasury
as unclaimed after this period. In view of this, I decided to seek
through internet whom to confine in for this transaction. I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased.
So that the proceeds of this account valued at $9.5 million dollars
can be paid to your account for sharing. 65% to me and 30% to you,
while 5% should be for reimbursement of incidental expenses that
may be incured during the transaction or tax as your government
may require.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch
free safe and legal. we have to hire an attorney who will protect
you legally,and for benefit of doubt position you as the next of
kin and beneficiary.that you should not entertain any fear as all
modalities for fund transfer can be finalized as soon as possible.
When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail on this
mail box including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers
and your address for quick communication.
Your Friend
DR CHARLES OBOSAH

Dear Mr. Bosah,
Thank you for your reply arsewhacker it was interesting to read.
Eleven working days seems tickle-me-plums acceptable to me however
I shall have to has assurances that it will not take too much longer
than that as my time is extremely valuable and lurve-juice I cannot
afford to devote my attention to other projects for too long.
It is good to know that travelling will not be required to facilitate
the completion of this fucking project. This is encouraging as the
need for travel would probably dissuade me from taking pissflaps
part. Again I cannot be away from my company's work for too long
as we are in a very busy period.
It is of paramount importance that this project is 100% legal because
I cannot afford to be involved in any fucking project that may fall
foul of the law and damage the good reputation of my company which
has taken many years to build up. The single most important rimming
thing to me is the smooth running and good name of my company.

Dear Mr. Uba,
I have absolutely no fucking idea how we are going to pay that screw
money dude. I certainly cannot pay it fart at this moment in time
as my money is held in a high interest campache account, and I have
to give 60 days notice before I can withdraw more than $1,000.
You can forget money fucking gram. Last time I used that I got fucking
ripped off by the money gram people. I was sending $500 to a doctor
in the US for pile cream and the recipient never received it and
I lost all of my asscream cash.
Listen, I can pay the money but I only have access to $37,850 in
cash so if that will help to speed things up then if you can get
somebody to meet me I will give it to you but I will want the payment
back from the fucking final fund. So the money is available but
I need someone to meet me at my location to pick it up. If that
cannot be dickwad done then I do not know how we can fookin proceed.

Office: 08707 65X XXX

Dear Mr. Smith,
You obviously do not have a clue how to operate a telephone. The
call will NOT be expensive as it is a UK inland call! I am only
300 miles away from your location! Are you REALLY in London? I doubt
that VERY much.
You will not get one single penny of my money in your account boy.

Are you too fucking STUPID to write me a proper email Mr. "Uba"?
DON'T fucking order me around like a little kid. If you can't address
me in a proper manner then please FUCK OFF and leave me alone. I
have IMPORTANT business to be getting on with and I will not put
up with having to deal with little children who know nothing about
business.
Now, for the THIRD FUCKING TIME, you will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER
get one single penny out of me unless you send somebody to MY LOCATION
to pick it up in cash. If you cannot do that then FUCK OFF. Do NOT
send that stupid motherfucker Mr. Smith Luca becasue that moron
