Attn sir,

My name is Batman Cole, i am the managing director of Prudent Bank PLC here in Nigeria, on 20th Novmber 2004 MR. Haryanto Tomo from indonesia, deposited the sum of U$10million dollars with our bank here in Nigeria, up till then i did not head from him not until when i received a news that there was a tsunami in asia that kill thousands of indonesia's, include one of nigerian Prudent customer Mr. Haryanto.

Right now i am contacting you to know if you can help me to receive the money over there as his relatives or next of kin, since all my effort to locate his family with the telephone number he gave me (62853700612) proved nothing, if you are willing to do this deal, you should not in any reason tell anybody about this transaction until you confirm the money in your account/home, because all we need is to get the document of (change of onwership account from the federal high court) on your behalf. Always call me on my direct line+ 234-80-331-27-410 for security reasons or email me on: batmancole5@katamail.com

Waiting for your call now

Dear Batman, (have to get used to that name)

I tried the your phone number. After hearing a woman's voice, I heard in the background what sounded much like a ping-pong tournament.

I am a 53 year old scientist. My telephone number is +34 XXX XXX XXX and my fax is 661 XXX XXXX.

Would it be possible to transfer all funds via federal express courier or western union money transfer?

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

Dear Bruce Banner,

Thanks for your mail to me, from the tone of your mail i dont think you are seroius to do this transaction, I am not yet married, so how come you said that you heard a little baby crying on my phone, please let be up and doing.
It is not possible to send the money through western union, but we have two methods of sending money which it tele-graphic wire transafer (KTT) and diplomatic means of transfer.
But before this, we are going to secure the change of account onwership from the federal high court like i told you before, which i dont know how much that will cost. Call me on any of my numbers for more details on the method of transfer on which one will be ok for you.

Thanks
Batman cole.

Dear Batman,

Thank you for your speedy reply. I most certainly am serious, I have not time for trivial matters, I can assure you. I am not familiar with the transfer methods you mention, please explain them to me.

I have been having very poor luck trying to phone you. So in the interest of saving time, please call me once you have secured the change of account onwership from the federal high court.

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

Dear Bruce Banner,

Thanks for your mail to me once more, the KTT wire transfer, is the method of sending money into your receving bank account, while the other method is a way of sending money to you through a diplomatic means with a security box. The change of account name from the federal high court is what I can not do only, because right now i dont have all that money at hand, so i will be very happy for you to open up and tell me how we can do about it.

Final send to me your account number for the change immediately.
Thanks
Batman
What type of number you gave me? are you in America?


BRUCE BANNER

Date: 28 Apr 2005

Dear Batman,

Let me see if I understand the situation we have here.

I never met you, you are a total stranger. You are making an unsubstantiated claim about a large sum of money to be transferred into my personal bank account.

At the same time you are asking me for my personal bank account information and now you are asking me to help you figure out your money problems.

Boy I wonder if you realize the pair of cahones you have to even go in the direction you are going with me.
I may be green with these kind of things, but this all sounds so incredible. Convince me otherwise.

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

Dear Bruce Banner,

I am in recipt of your mail, and the content well noted. Yes i dont know you from adam, but thank God that we have open communication with each other through email, yes i know it is very hard for an unknow person to ask you for your bank account, on this reason i will like you to open a fresh account number for this buiness, so that you will not have anything in your mind concerning this transfer.

Secondly, I am not trying to be smart or good, NO i am only trying to see if we can work this out by transferring the money into your account as the next of kin to Mr. Tomo, that is why i asked you to help me in getting the vital document from the federal high court to enable our bank transfer this money into your account without much question or investication. The fee is some how much for me to take care, had it been i have all the money for the document i could'nt have asked you for help. I will like you to go back to my first mail to you, you will see where i made mention of the change of name of account, and without this nothing will be done, mind you that i will be also taken care of the Attorney that will stand on your behalf at the high court for the vital document.

On this issue, i will like you to forward to me your house address.

Thanks
Batman


BRUCE BANNER

Batman,

Opening an account is not a problem, it would have to be a legitimate account in my name. What kind of fee are we talking about? You keep mentioning a fee, that it's too much for you, but you never said how much it is. Of course I need to see some proof that this is a real situation regardless.

Batman,

Now that I understand that a new account satisfy your request, I went out and opened one. My offshore banking account IBAN number is:

2XXX XXXX XX XXXXXXXXXX

So we are all ready to conduct a test transfer then, eh?

Why do you need my house address? What are you sending me?

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

Attn
Thanks once more for your mails, i received your account but please you have to state it very well as account number, account name and swift code if any.
It is a must that you send your house address to me, secondly the fee for the change of account onwership is U$15,000.00 dollars, and there is nothing again to make you belive what i am saying until you receive the vital document.
If you know that you can not send your house address to me and your correct telephone numbers please have the deal end.
Thanks
Batman


BRUCE BANNER

Batman,

I have sent you my IBAN number, my cellular and my fax numbers. You are obviously not well versed in such affairs, as this was more than sufficient information and you should know that.

So far you have not provided me with anything, and at the same time suggesting I should help you with a portion of a $15,000 bill. I think the ball is now in your court. If you don't provide something in good faith in your next correspondence I will know you are just looking for a handout.

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

Dear Bruce Banner,

I dont think that you understand that there is something we call miss-direction of fund, which i will not allowe to happen on this transaction, please state your account details very well with the name of the bank to avoid any probelm.

Now you can see the reason why i need your help on the issue of the document, had it been the money is lesser, i could have done everything by myself, so let me know how much you can be able to raise from your side.

I will also like you to state your telephone number very well too and your house address.

Thanks
Batman


BRUCE BANNER

Date: 29 Apr 2005

Batman,

At this point how much money I can raise is a moot point. Certainly if there is one iota of truth to your claims, raising the money would not be difficult. As a matter of fact it is rather hard for me to believe this would be an obstacle for you. You whole proposal is shifting from assisting you to share in a very large sum of money, to helping you raise a rather insignificant amount by comparison.

If you cannot substantiate your rather fantastic claim then please stop wasting my time.

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

Dear Bruce Banner,
I am in recipt of your three mails and all the informationa well understood. My dear first of all let me be picking the points one after another.
1 You made mention of the bill of U$15thousand, i am not telling you to send the whole U$15 to me, i am only trying to inform you the reason why I need your help on that issue.
2, You made mention of not know if these is real or not? there is no how i can tell you that this is real, than you receving the change of account/name from the high court and you receving the funds in your account, the reason why all this, is that if I should submit your name and account direct to the bank, they will ask you to come down to Nigeria and claim your relatives funds, by providing this document from court. Or do you want to come to Nigeria so that you can see things with your eyes?
3, You made mention of not telling the amount needed from you to send, right now i have in my hands U$5,000.00 dollars and still looking for more money, it is left for you to tell me how much you can come up with, to enable me know the amount i will be looking for.

Finaly the issue of your sending me your contact details, is what I dont understand, because i have tried serval times to reach you on the telephone but it is not going through, moreover you refused to send to me your house address up till now which i belive that you have something in mind as soon as the money is transferred. Right now i am not yet ok with all your information, if you still want us to do this, let me have your full information as i have stated it to you, before telling me anything about the money, because that is very very important to me.

Thanks
Batman

Hey Batman, stop playing with your utility belt.
What's going on?

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

My dear Bruce,
I got your three mails and with your house address, i was thinking that you are not seroius to receive this money, as i have started making move to look for another seroius person that can receive this money for me, you are not only helping, you are as well helping your self, i am going to send to you the photo of the box when Late Mr. Tomo is about to open and account for you to know that I am not playing.

The reason why you are having double mind is just because of the money i ask you to send so that we can get the vital document from the high court right?
Thanks
Batman

Batman,

Just send me the picture, the account number, and your share of the money for the document and I'll make sure it gets to the right place.


BATMAN COLE

Dear Bruce,
Let me know if you are really seroius to do this transaction with me or not, because i have started looking for somebody, secondly let me know if you have the money so that the lawyer who will be acting on your behalf can go for the change of name and account.

Finaly, state your account very well, like i told you before.
Thanks
Batman
You can call me so that we can talk +23480-33127-410

[Sends Bruce the pic shown at the top of this page]


BRUCE BANNER

Batman,

I have the money. But what is this photo of? I don't understand. Is that supposed to be you? What is this picture supposed to prove? I could send you a photo of me standing next to a Mercedes, it doesn't mean I own it.

Bruce Banner


BATMAN COLE

Who are you? are you an agent? how can you ask me to send the account number to you, is better for me to look for another person which i have been doing before you started emailing me again, i dont think it is wise to send to you the account number where the money is now.
I have to take my place now and end this deal from here, as i have found out that you are not willing to do this transaction, i am not after your money, you can keep and eat your money, because i dont know what will happen next if finaly the money is transferred into your account.
I am not sending any more information to you ok, if you want us to conclude this deal, you keep on asking for information upon information, but it took you two weeks to send just your house address, who knows if the address is not fake, what of your international passport and your name of your bank nothing, you only send an unknow number and told me that's your account number, ok let me know the name of your bank you did not want to tell me up till today.

The telephone you gave me is not going through, please lets end this deal from here bye.
Batman

Riddle me this Batman,

What do you expect from me? Do you expect me to believe there are people out there just waiting to send a stranger money based upon some wild claim of a large fund and a meaningless photo? You have shown me nothing, so I have completely lost interest in this.

By the way, the phone number works, have you tried calling me on the batphone?
