GREEN LETTER DAYS - A DRAMA IN TWO ACTS


From the archives of Eliza Dane comes a tale of scammers trying to pick up where other scammers left off, and failing miserably. Eliza has appeared in many adventures, most recently HI HO SILVER, IT'S THE LOAN ARRANGER. [For a change, the first-tier scammer is not noted in red.]


Thompson Green was a man with a plan - to scam poor innocent student Eliza Dane... That was one of my earliest baits with Eliza Dane, and it died before anything much was achieved, but all was not lost.
Much later, Thomas Green made his play... and found himself in a world of confusion as he found his maga was the new, improved, feisty and outspoken Eliza Dane.
Things were further confused by another Lad getting involved - one who'd crashed an earlier, but longer-lasting bait (also for publication), thinking Eliza Dane was a Lad, but here had a quite a different agenda... whatever it might have been!


The Scammers

Names in boldface are non-speaking roles
(Part 1)
Thompson Green, Director, Delivery/operations, Transworld Securities, South Africa
Tamara Grove, Secretary, "Fidelity Security Marchant and Courier Agency", in Holland
Edward Cliff, Operation Manager, "Fidelity Security Marchant and Courier Agency", in Holland
Kapo Kester, diplomat

(Part 2)
Thomas Green, unwitting Lad who had no idea he was "the Director of Delivery/Operation Transworld Security and Finance Company South Africa"
Mr Walter, actually Mr. Walter Tom, Bank Manager, UNIVERSAL TRUST BANK OF NIG.PLC
Okon Emma, Walter Tom's WU identity
Adim Amala, a Lad who tried to urge Eliza to do the Lads' bidding, but actually had nothing to do with them
Peter Eke, Thomas Green's secretary
Bille Ikeyan Perry, Peter Eke's WU identity
Ann Frank, Bank Manager, UNIVERSAL TRUST BANK OF NIG.PLC, who took over from Walter Tom, and gave rise to a number of poor taste jibes about attics
Igwe Ifeanyi (THE BANK'S SECRETARY) - Ann Frank's WU identity.
Azubuike Nwokolo, Ann Frank's other WU identity


The Baiters

(Part 1)
Eliza Dane, Sydney-based student of botanical sciences

(Part 2)
Eliza Dane, a Sydney-based photomodel of Odinist faith, foul mouth, and unforgiving disposition.
Ross Dane, her protective older brother, an officer in the elite Special Air Services Regiment.
Odin, Freyja, Tyr, and Skadhi - deities of the Norse Pantheon, often invoked by Eliza


Warning; profanity ahead.

Western Union makes its appearance in the second part of this bait.

OK, now that we've set the scene, it's time to raise the curtain on our drama.
Let us begin with the first email from the spring of 2005...
Enter a scammer.


PART 1: "YOU SHOULDNT START ACTING STRANGE"

Thompson Green
07/10/2005

FROM: THOMPSON GREEN,
DIRECTOR, DELIVERY/OPERATIONS,
TRANSWORLD SECURITIES, SOUTH AFRICA
TEL: 27-73-2424-005
Dear Sir/Madam,
TRANSFER OF US$25.5M FOR INVESTMENT.
I am MR THOMPSON GREEN the Director of Delivery/Operation Transworld Security and Finance Company South Africa.
Our firm is a security and finance company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of Africa especially top government officials and military leaders in Africa. I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I have not discussed this with anybody because of it is of top secret.
To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time in 1997,a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company?s vault for safekeeping.
And since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which has accumulated a huge amount of money in demurrage.
Consequently, in our bid to contact this client to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the Former President of the Federal Republic of Zaire(Now Republic of Congo)who died of illness after he was dethroned. In the same year the consignment was entrusted into our care.
Since the death of our client President Mobutu Seseseko, none of the benefactor has come to claim the consignment with us, which means that none of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of such consignment.
Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the box that were registered as treasure by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about TWENTY FIVE MILLON FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATED DOLLARS (US$25.5Million US Dollars).
Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly. I also found out from enquiry s and foreign media that our late client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as the head of state.
It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money that our client siphoned and now that he is dead, there is no trace to this money in our care.I am now soliciting noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of South Africa to your country for immediate investment with your assistance. I have also decided that you will be generously be entitled to 30% of the total amount.
Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me in this transaction. I will immediately arrange and transfer all the right of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your country for onward investment.
This transaction is 100% risk free. Please maintain absolute CONFIDENTIALITY in this matter. I await your prompt response.
Hoping my proposal will receive your favourable consideration.
MR THOMPSON GREEN

[It's a standard Dead Dictator Scam, though Mobutu is a first for me.
Let's get him hooked.]

Eliza Dane
Dear Mr. Green,
While I am very interested in your proposal, I would need to know how I could ever make a claim to anything belonging to President Mobutu.
I'd also like to know how you came to approach me about this.
If you can clear up these details, I may be able to help you.
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
11/10/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
It is nice to hear from you. I want to re-assure you that this business is risk free and i shall change all the basic documents to your name. The fund has already accrued demmurage and the depositor is deceased. It was deposited under a different name. It was only on investigation that we discovered it was deposited by the ex- president.
We have done the neccessary paper works on change of ownership. You should be rest-assured.
My major worry is to confirm if you are capable of handling such funds. Its very important to know before we start processing the transfer.
Waiting for your responce.
Sincerely
Mr Thompson Green
Eliza Dane
Dear Mr. Green,
I'm puzzled that you are worried about my ability to handle money. Isn't the whole point of this to move the money safely out of South Africa? I'm not being asked to invest it, simply receive and take care of it. I'd have thought that the big thing would be honesty, not financial skill.
Also - you didn't answer my question about exactly how you came to approach me. It's not that hard to do, is it?
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
16/10/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
I am worried about honesty because of the huge funds involved and not financial skill. Honesty is the key and its the reason why it has been this long because we needed trust worthy capable people. I shall need to get some details before we can begin the transfer process.
I shall need to know your profession, country of origin,religion and most importantly your full details like name,telephone number so we can communicate when the need arises. When these details are forwarded to me, then we can begin the transfer proceedings.
As for your contact, i got your information while i was doing a private research on the internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist us in the transfer of the said funds.
I hope i have convinced you beyond reasonable doubt that we are ready to do business. Do get me the details so we can begin immediately.
I await your responce.
Best regards
Thompson Green

Name, phone number; business as usual; profession, country of origin - religion? That's new.
[Supplemental; since I wrote that, religion has been a regular item in Lad enquiries.]
Telephone number - not a chance - so deploy the Jealous Boyfriend - now!

Eliza Dane
Dear Mr. Green,
I understand the importance of honesty. I said so before. But you did raise the point about financial ability ("My major worry is to confirm if you are capable of handling such funds") originally.
But anyway... details! OK then.
I am 22 years old and a student at Hawkesbury Agricultural College, Sydney - thus I am an Australian.
You have my name already.
I don't know why my religion is important - I guess I'd be Anglican by default, I haven't been to Church proper for some time.
Phone number... tricky. I still live at home, and my parents would be puzzled about my receiving calls from a strange man. They are very fond of my boyfriend (who is himself a bit possessive) and would be suspicious about you (especially since I bet we'd have to talk in private).
Back to you. What's the next stage?
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
18/10/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
This mail is a confirmation of receipt of your mail. I shall get back to youi in a day or two giving you the exact iunstructions on the next step to take. I shall start processing the basic legal documents indicating you as the new rightfull beneficiary of the said fund.
Until i get back to you, i remain
Sincerely
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane

[Eight days pass - what's happening?]

Dear Mr. Green,
It's been over a week - does this mean that the deal is over?
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green

[Eliza's name has changed!]

27/10/2005

Dear Ms. Eliza Zane,
It was nice hearing from you. The deal is still on.
The fact is we have been processing the basic documents which the lawyer had to take to court for confirmation and legalisation processes. Hopefully we shall be through before this week-end and then transfer the fund to the security company in europe who will in turn vet it, confirm you as the true beneficiary and then make the transfer to your account. I shall let you what is the situation of things before the week runs.
Once again, i say thanks for your co-operation and understanding so far.
Sincerely
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane
Dear Mr. Green,
Thank you for replying.
I hope things will move faster once you've processed the basic documents!
Regards,
Eliza Dane

PS Dane. Not Zane.
Thompson Green
29/10/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Zane,
Our diplomat attachee has departed for europe with the consignment this evening for the netherlands, In europe.
Hopefully, the consignment will be deposited with the security company by tommorrow on his arrival.
I shall also forward the information of the security company where the fund will be deposited.
You are adviced to contact the security company stating that you are the true beneficiary of the said fund.
I shall reach you as soon as we hear from our diplomat.
Until then, i remain
Thompson Green

[The Netherlands... how predictable was that?
"Things I learned from 419s"; it is important to spell out which continent a given country is, even if you mentioned the continent previously."]

Eliza Dane
Dear Mr. Green.
I, Eliza Dane (NOT Zane), know that the Netherlands are in Europe.
I'll be patient.
Regards,
Eliza Dane
PS It's Dane, did you notice that?
Thompson Green
31/10/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
All corrections are noted. It was just typing error.
The diplomat has successfully arrived holland. The fund has been deposited with them.
The address of the company and the contact person with which the fund has been deposited is stated below.
FIDELITY SECURITY MARCHANT AND COURIER AGENCY
Tel: +31-628-087-753 , Fax: +31-847-273-051
Operation Manager : EDWARD CLIFF
Please contact them first thing on monday morning for further instructions. The e-mail address of the diplomat whom deposited the fund is mrkester@execs.com I advice you contact them immediately for further directives.
Until i hear from you, i remain
Sincerely
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane
Dear Mr. Green,
What's the name of the diplomat? I'd like to address him with his proper name when I contact him.
Actually, do I need to communicate with him, or speak to Mr. Cliff? Which is correct?
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
01/11/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
You shall have to contact the security company immediately. They are in charge of the funds right now. The diplomat, MR. KAPO KESTER has done his job by delivering the consignment to europe. He is still there awaiting further instructions. The main contact you have to make is to the security company. You shall have to reach them immediately since the consignment is already with them. They will be expecting your call.
Let me know as soon as you get through to them.
Sincerely
Thompson Green

["KAPO KESTER"? Weird name...]

[I have no idea if the numbers were valid, as I didn't try them out. Why bother? It's more fun this way (plus, I doubt if I any woman's voice I could do would fool even a Lad...) ]

Eliza Dane
Dear Mr. Green,
The telephone numbers that you supplied for the Security Company did not connect.
Are you sure they are correct? Advise immediately please.
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
02/11/2005

03/11/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
Have you finally reached the security company? always give me details of your daily transaction with them as i can only be informed by you since you are now the new beneficiary of the fund. Anxiously waiting to hear from you.
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane
Mr. Green:
The number that you supplied doesn't work. The prefix makes no difference. I dialled repeatedly and correctly.
Is there any point in continuing with this?
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green

[First signs of irritation from our lad... ]

04/11/2005

Dear Ms.Eliza Dane,
Itrs up to you if you want to continue with the deal or not. You know you stand to gain at the end of the day.
since getting through their phone line is difficult, then write them by mail You shouldnt start acting strange when we have transferred the consignment already to europe. Declare your intention so we know our position.
Waiting to hear from you.
Sincerely
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane

[Bring on the angry Eliza!]

Mr. Green:
It's up to me? You make it sound like all it's my fault that the phone number is wrong and I can't get in touch!
Well, sorry, but you were the one who set all this up. It isn't my fault if you got it wrong.
I'll email them, which is how it should have been done from the git-go.
When it comes to acting strange, I can take lessons from you. Let's get this stupid matter settled and we can go our separate ways.
Eliza Dane
Eliza Dane
Attn: Mr. Edward Cliff

Dear Sir,
Be advised that I am laying claim to funds deposited in my name at your agency on or after 28 October 2005.

Eliza Dane
Eliza Dane

[Turn up the heat - though she's still low-key compared to the veteran baiters.]

Mr. Green:
First you supply telephone numbers that don't work, and then you provide me with an email link that doesn't work either.
What the hell is the matter with you? What sort of half-assed firm are you running over there?
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
06/11/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
I just saw your mail and fully understood its contents. You will have to contact the security company via phone(011)that is the code you will have to dial calling from your end.
Secondly, when writting mail, write to fsmcaonline@yahoo.co.uk and not e-mailfsmcaonlien@yahoo.co. i expect you should know the difference. Let me kn ow as soon as you are through.
Your documents are already with them and they are waiting to hear from you. I have supplied every information you need. You only have to keep in touch.They need to hear directly from you, been the new beneficiary of the said fund.
Waiting to hear from you.
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane
Mr. Green:
I followed the link that you supplied. I assumed that you had filled it in correctly.
My bad.
I'll try telephone and email and I'll let you know if your new info gets me anywhere.
I've got my doubts - reasonable ones, too.
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
07/11/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
I saw the message you sent to the security company in europe. I think you are in the right direction.
They will in turn tell you exactly what you need to do.
I advice you co-operate with them and follow their instructions to the latter since they have the final authority to the release of this consignemtn to you.
Always keep me informed. Bye for now
Eliza Dane
Mr. Green:
I'll hold off on the celebrations until they reply.
I tried the phone number again, with the prefix you gave, and got precisely nowhere. The email was my Plan B.
I'm hoping that they'll cc you in any exchanges, as per my request.
We shall see.

10/11/2005

Dear Ms. ELiza Dane,
What seems to be the problem. I told you from the onset that you shall be committed and willing to co-operate to see the release of the consignment. We have already come this far and shouldnt let go.
I advice you communicate with the security company on avenues that can facilitate the urgent release of the consignment to you.
Remember we are working against time and delay is dangerous.
Am waiting to hear from you.
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane

[I forwarded the Tamara Grove email to him.]

Mr. Green:
Here's the latest from the company.

10 November 2005

Ms. Eliza,
I saw your mail and fully understood its contents.
Have you complied with them, has the process begun? give me details as i anxiously wait to hear from you.
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane

[Ah, isn't Eliza cute when she's angry?]

Mr. Green:
Wherever I go with this I seem to run up against idiots.
First you give me telephone numbers that don't work and links that lead nowhere.
Then when I do manage to get in touch with the security company I tell them from the start - three times now - to cc all messages to you. They obviously haven't.
I don't know how they stay in business!
Eliza Dane
Thompson Green
11/11/2005

Dear Ms.Eliza,
I dont see that as a problem. They dont need to copy their mails to me. It makes no difference. Its you they have to deal with. The consignment was deposited in your name and you are the new beneficiary. They will have to communicate with you as the beneficiary.
Your refusal or anger while communicating will spoil things for us and please, watch what you say, we are dealing with business executives here.I advice you co-operate with them to facilitate the transfer.
Waiting to hear from you.
Thompson Green
Eliza Dane

[I was surprised by how arrogant Eliza was becoming. Sometimes personae do develop their own quirks.]

Mr. Green:
It's not a matter of whether you think you need them; it's a matter of the company doing as they're told, which is not a lot anyway.
It should be easy for them to hit the "Reply to All" function. Hence my comment about idiots.
You asked to be kept informed, I made it easy for you to be informed, and they didn't bother doing even that!
If I've spoken a bit harshly to you, there's a reason; you've been getting things wrong almost from the git-go (Exhibit 1, the phone numbers).
This whole deal was initiated by you, contact was made by you, and you've been pushing at me to get things done despite all the obstacles (bar the lack of the right ID, which is not really anyone's 'fault') coming from you.
So we're dealing with business executives and have to talk softly? They're adults, not children.
I'll be nice if it suits, I'll be nasty if it suits.
We have a lot riding on this, and I know what I'm doing.
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Eliza Dane

[Two days later...]

Mr. Green:
We're sort of stuck where we are right now.
I can't give the photo ID the firm requested - unless they accept my college ID (little chance of that) - and I don't know if the courier option they're suggesting is a goer either.
What now? Please advise soonest.
Regards,
Eliza Dane
Eliza Dane

[Four days after that... nothing.
A little concerned, I try to stay in touch.]

Mr. Green, No reply from you as yet to my request for advice. Is something wrong? Regards,

[This is interesting. I had a good time with one of these before, can I do so again?
The name's close enough...
With over twelve months' baiting under my belt, I set to work, borrowing heavily from WE CAN SHARE THE JOY.

Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
I don't give a hairy rat's arse about your lucky partner from Spain!
All I remember is that you promised me $7.5 million, and then you just stopped answering me! I sent you $5000, I even sent you some of my portfolio, and it's like you just dropped off the world!
Why did you do that? You'd said such nice things about me, too.
You made me cry. Why did you make me cry?

[The Lad does what he can to retrieve the situation... and straight away we're into the money. Hmm... how much, I wonder...]

[Just so you know - Eliza's changed a fair bit since Thompson Green.
The pleasant, if slightly arrogant, student of agricultural science (and default Anglican) is now a photomodel and devout Odin-worshipper with a foul mouth and major - I mean MAJOR - attitude problems.]

Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
Just what the fuck is happening?
Why do you need my banking information? The money was in the security company - when did you move it? Holy Odin, you should have told me!
And what's this stamp fee? I paid for that already! Stamp fees, certificates, demurrage...you'd better have a fucking good explanation!
Eliza Dane

[The Lad tries hard to establish a modality that he understands, no doubt... and there it is; $1800. Not bad, I guess...]

Thomas Green
15 January 2007

Dear Great Partner Eliza,
How are you today?
l got your mail with many thanks and well noted, yes is true that the money is in the Security Company, The Security Company called me last year that there have a problem in there custody that l should try and move the money to the bank for safety keeping.

With Best Regards, MR. Thomas Green.

[It's not wise to piss Eliza off, because when Eliza gets her dander up, it takes an awful lot to calm her down...]

Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
And I was supposed to know all this - HOW? What the fuck did you catch in Malaysia - brain rot? I never claimed to be fucking psychic and I told you why the phone was out of contention!
Why do I have to prove anything to any bank? I gave you what you needed, papers and money, to get the cash released from FMS - how come the bank has to be convinced all over again? For every solution there is a problem seems to be your motto!

Mr Green,
What a fucking difference a year makes!
You say you don't remember? Well, let me remind you of what you told me a year ago.
Demurrage - $1220.
Lawyer's fee - $1650
Stamp duty - $2070
That was what I paid for. I even rounded the figure up to $5000 to make your fucking record keeping easier! And now you have the fucking nerve to try to double-dip!
I owe you nothing. Now keep your fucking word and do the right thing RIGHT NOW!
Eliza Dane

18 January 2007

Dear Great Partner,
How are you today?
the reason why l tried reaching you in this matter is that, many people are contacting me telling me that there are the owner of the money, l dont know what to do with the money if really you are not there to claim out the money from the Bank been deposited.
l use this $800,000,00 dollars to really know the true people l am really working with in the respect of $25millions. You dont need to work away with that, because before you claim the money, l will ask you some question regards to our transaction, if it happend that you dont give me reasonable answer then l will know that you are not the true person l am working with.
l got a called yesterday from the Bank Mnager, that there did not receive your form, why. l told you to fill out the form and email it to them, if you can not email it to them, l will assist you in fill out the form and email it to them. But you have to send me all there need in the form, and send me that stamp fee $1,800 dollars. l wait to hear from you, that you have filled out the form and email it to them immediately, we dotn have to delay in this matter.
With Best Regards,
Mr. Thomas.
Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
You have the hide of a fucking RHINO to start jabbering about not wanting to delay things. It was YOU who fucked off for a whole fucking YEAR.

Dear Partner,

l will discuss with the Bank manager to try and send the fund back to the Security Company in Amsterdam. l will update you when l am through with the discussion with him.
Thanks,
Mr. Thomas.
Eliza Dane

[Second thoughts? Can't have that!
A quick edit later...]

Mr Green,
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!!
You approached me with the plan, you asked me for all my details, you took my money... and now you have the fucking nerve to start asking if I'm the right person! Do you remember this little message? You fucking well should, as it's the one you sent to me over a year ago!

I am MR THOMAS GREEN the Director of Delivery/Operation Transworld Security and Finance Company South Africa. [snip]
To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time in 1997,a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company?s vault for safekeeping. [snip] we discovered that our client was the Former President of the Federal Republic of Zaire(Now Republic of Congo)who died of illness after he was dethroned. [snip] the box that were registered as treasure by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about TWENTY FIVE MILLON FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATED DOLLARS (US$25.5Million US Dollars). ...

Now then - anything to say? I expect the truth, and no fucking me around with bullshit and bafflegab either!

Thomas Green
20 January 2007

Dearesp Partner Elizabeth Dane,
How are you today?
l got your mail with many thanks and well noted?
l realy understand what you are trying to say in this matter, l have told you that you are very right in this matter, l also told you that the reason why the fund was deposited in the Bank. Is the Security Company have a problem with one of there customers in there custody.
The Security Company Manager, have to move the fund into the Bank, to enable us claim the fund out from the Bank, without any mistake is complain that we did not claim our fund complete. Yes is true that you are my right pertner in this transaction, but you dont work with me ot listen to my instruction.
l have explained things to you why we have to claim this fund out from the bank, $25millions. l spoke with the Manager of the Bank, that there should start preparing to return the fund back to the Security Company in Amsterdam. Why l have to discuss this with him, is that l have tried to explain ths to you to enable you understand this and work has l have instructed you to do, l have presented your informations to the Bank, as my client. l have also told the Bank Manager that you are the one to claim the fund $25millions.
Dear Partner, all you have to do now is to fill out the form and email it to them to enable them commence action on how the fund will be transfer into your account in your country. Beer this in mind that l did not take your money, l use it to pay for the Demurrage fee.
Yes, you are very alright in this transaction, l want this transaction to be very easy for us to claim. That is why l ask you to fill that form and email it to the Bank email address. So that claiming of this fund $25millions. will not cost us much to claim from the Bank. But, if it happend to be that the Bank will deliver the fund back to the Security Company, that will cost us very much money to claim the fund out from the Security Company.
l beg you, please kindly fill our the form and email it to them, l am very sorry the way l spake to you in this matter, but you have to work by my instruction to avoid any mistake in this matter. Our fund is ready to be transfer into your account as soon as you summit the form to them for action commence.
Dear Partner, for you going to Amsterdam to claim this fund will cost you alot of money, kindly fill out the form and email it to them immediately.
l wait to hear from you immediately.
With Best Regards,
Mr. Thomas Green.
Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
Let's take this one at a time.
"[T]he Security Company have a problem with one of there customers in there custody."
Why did this affect me?
"Yes is true that you are my right pertner in this transaction, but you dont work with me ot listen to my instruction."
The last time I listened to you and followed your instructions, I ended up $5000 poorer and with not a word from you for over a year.
"Dear Partner, all you have to do now is to fill out the form..."
That's not a form - that's a list of questions to which you already have the answers. If you want me to take you seriously, give me a proper form!
"Beer this in mind that l did not take your money, l use it to pay for the Demurrage fee."
LIAR! I gave you enough to pay the demurrage FOUR TIMES over! And you wonder why I don't trust you on this!
Back to you, and I want some better answers!
Eliza Dane
Thomas Green
21 January 2007

Dearest Partner Elizabeth,
Compliment of the weekend to you?

We have to work as one body one spirit in this transaction, to enable us conplete this transaction this month once and for all, l really understand what you are trying to say in this matter, but we dont have to make any mistake like there customer, why there have this problem why our fund is been transfer to the Bank.
l have told you that l am not a Banker, l am not an agent there, l only contacting them in respect of our fund $25millions USD. And there have to gave me the form for you to fill out the gapes and email it to them to enable them commence action on how the fund will be transfer into our account in your country.

Eliza Dane

[How will he handle another monkey wrench?]

Mr Green,
One at a time again...
"l have told you that l am not a Banker, l am not an agent there, l only contacting them in respect of our fund $25millions USD. And there have to gave me the form for you to fill out "
I never said that you were with a bank. I know that. But no bank would just give you a list of questions, there are forms for this. Don't you have a scanner any more?
"My Dear, is true that you send me the Demurrage fee, yes l did send the money to them, l have paid the Demurrage fee"
DON'T CALL ME "MY DEAR"! Don't fucking PATRONISE me! You didn't pay the demurrage; you just passed on the money I gave you. You then had the remainder to pay the legal fees and stamp duty.
"[T]raveling to the Security Company to claim this fund...will cost you alot of money"
What, like $5000? You know, I'd rather go to Holland than have to deal with some fucking banker geeks in Nigeria!
Listen up; after all this, I don't want 30% any longer. I want 50%. You owe me big time for all the delays and angst. Get me the right form and we can move ahead.

The man use it to Deposit the fund in the Bank.

Look at this: "I AM ELIZABETH D. DANE, A NATIONAL OF AUSTRALIA AND A RELATIVE TO LATE MRS. ELIZABETH D. DANE".

What are the odds that I'd have the exact same name? The money came from Mobutu Sese Seko, not some relative of mine, and was deposited by you, not by me, so why the fuck am I saying this? Do you see what I mean?

I'm going to answer the questions, but I'm leaving out that bit about the relative. Like I said, if I'm claiming the money that you deposited, there's no point in saying that.

[No, he doesn't understand, but reading his confused waffle is fun, isn't it?]

24 January 2007

Dear Partner,
l got your mail?
l really understand what you are trying to say, the reason why the Bank Mnager make the deposit that way to avoid and mistake in your name as a relative to your name, so that the Bank will not think anything to the fund.
You are l, knew that the fund is from Mobutu Sese Soko. You dont have to think it that way or see it that way, l have explain to you the reason why the fund is deposit with your name as a relative to your Dane. Like l told you day before yesterday that the fund is ready to be transfer into your account as soon as you fill our the form and email it to them, to enable them commence action immediately, what there want to see is your information to enable them cross check with the one from the Security Company.
l am beging you to try and fill out the form and email it to them, l really know that l have delayed your in this transaction, but l promise you that l will make it up to you this time. l am given you 50% out from the total money.

Dear Partner,
l got your mail with many thanks and well noted? but l am very worried about this stamp fee, l got a called from the bank concenring the fee, he told me that what out the fee the fund will not transfer into your account. l want you to understand that l dont have any money with me, the reason why we lost contact is because l had an accident, l have beeb in the hospital that is the reason why l lost your contact for the claiming of the fund.
l will adivce you to try and send the stamp fee to the bank to enable them transfer the fund into your account immediately, all you have to do now is to record all the money you have spent in this transaction because as soon as you recieve this fund you are going to take out all the money you have spent.
please l dont have any money noe, do not write to the bank that l am the one to pay for the fee. l wait to hear from you and try and send them the fee.
Thanks,
Mr. Thomas.
Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
I don't give a flying fuck what happened to you. If you're saying that you spent my money - legal fees - on a hospital stay, then you're a fucking thief.
I've told the bank that you're the moneyman, so do your fucking job and pay up. I don't any limp-wristed excuses. Grow a fucking pair and get it done!
Eliza Dane

[Sorry, mugu; if you deal with Eliza Dane, get ready for bad language!]

Thomas Green
29 January 2007

l got your mail? But you have to address me very well not by fucking, l have told you that the money you send to me l used it for the Security Company fee for the Demurrage and others fee.
Of which you knew about that, before we lost contact for years, l was explaining to you that l dont have any money with me, the only money l have l used it to pay for my hospital bill. When l had an accident.
Now that the fund is ready in the Bank, please try and send them the fee to enable them transfer the fund into your account without any delay.
l have told you that you have to make all your record according to how you spend money into this transaction, once you recieve the fund you are going to take out all the money you spend before Disbursement of the Fund $25million USD.
l wait to hear from you immediately, that you have send the stamp fee to the bank.
Thanks,
Mr. Thomas.
Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
I'll call you what I fucking well like! You're a liar and a thief.
The money I sent to you was for three things, and you admit to paying only one of them, which was less than a quarter of the sum.
Saying it all went on demurrage is the lie. Then you admit that you spent the money on personal matters - the hospital fee. That's theft.
I've told the bank that you'll pay.
Don't fuck it up!
Eliza Dane

Mr Walter,
I'll keep this short.
Mr Green accepted money from me to pay the stamp fee, so I told him to pay it to you. I didn't tell you to ask him, I told you that he would pay! What fucking difference does it make to you who pays your fucking charges? Anyhoo, it's a moot point for now, as he and I are discussing issues. I suggest you find some other work to do while we sort things out.

My Dear,
l got your mail? You dont have to ask them anything in regards of this fund, let think on how we can claim this fund out from the Bank, that is the most important thing for now. l write to tell you that a friend borrowed me $500 dollars, that is the only money l have with money for now. l will like you you to try and see what you can do by coming up with anything in this matter.
l wait to hear from you immediately.
Thanks,
Mr. Thomas.

Oh, cry me a fucking river!
Listen up - if you want me to pay up, you know what to do - prove you paid the security firm. Send me copies of the receipts.
Eliza Dane
Thomas Green
01 February 2007

Dear Partner Elizabeth,
Thanks for your mail? l told you that l do pay for the Demurrage and other fees to the Security Company, is been a long time for the receipts you are asking for. Over a year and now.
l want you to understand that we should be thinking about on how we can pay up this stamp fee, to enable the Bank transfer the fund into your account iummediately.
A friend promise to borrow me $1,000 dollars too plus the $500.
l will like you to try and send the remaining $300 immediately. l wait to hear from you now.
Thanks,
Mr. Thomas.
Eliza Dane

[Trying for a trophy... while reminding him that another Lad supposedly got $5000 from me.]

Mr Green,
Do you have the receipts or not? If you do, then scan them and send them! If not - you shouldn't have lost the fucking things! Fuck me, that is lame.
If you haven't got the receipts, then you're shit out of luck. I got burned before, sending money purely on your say-so.
The only way that you'll get this fee is if you send me an invoice. It doesn't have to be formal, but it has to spell out just what the money's for.
A hand-written note would be perfect.
Eliza Dane
Thomas Green
02 February 2007

Dear Partner,

l told you that l have lost the paper for the receipts, over a year and now let forget about this receipts and look forward to claim this fund, l told you that a friend will borrowed me $1000 dollars in respect of this fund including the $500 dollars l have.

Please try and understand me and help out for this matter, l wait to hear from you now.
Thanks,
Mr. Thomas Green.

[Another slap seems required ...]

Mr Green,
For fuck's sake, stop being such a girlie-man! I can't stand fucking cry-baby faggots. Have you got whipped cream for a backbone?

Dear Partner Elizabeth,
l got your mail with many thanks? l just got an signal from the Universal True Bank Plc.
Not long ago concerning this fund, Mr. Walter. Explained to me the thinks we have to provide to enable them transfer the fund into your account in your country.
You have to take heart, you dont haveto call them fuck,because you are not the one to teach them on how there can operate on there custody. l tried asking him why we have to pri\ovide all this document and transfer fee. He told me that this fund is very huge amount there are about to transfer into your account , there have to be very careful in this matter to avoid any mistake.
My Dear, there is know much problem on that, l will adivce you to try and send them the Transfer fee, to enable me see what l can do for the securing of the document, l have to visit the Police Station for the Document.
l advice you to send them the transfering fee $3,900 dollars.
l will update you when, am back from the Police Station for the document.
Is very important that you do this, to enable us have this fund transfer tomorrow into your account.
Thanks,

GOOD DAY
THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS BANK WISHES TO NOTIFY YOU, THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECEIPT OF YOUR PREVIOUS EMAIL AND QUESTIONS: HOWEVER, I WISH TO CLARIFY EVERYTHING TO YOU AMICABLY.
FIRSTLY, REGARDS TO THE AFFIDAVIT OF THE TRUE OWNERSHIP OF THE FUND FROM THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE ( ABUJA-NIGERIA) YOU ARE TO SWORN AN OATH BEFORE THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE, THAT YOU ARE THE ELIGIBLE OWNERSHIP OF THE FUND. THIS WILL ENABLE THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE ISSUE AN AFFIDAVIT ON YOUR NAME AS THE BONAFIDE OWNER OF THE FUND, BEFORE THIS OFFICE WILL BE AUTHORIZE TO MAKE THE TRANSFER OF THE FUND INTO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT INFORMATION. AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO OBTAIN THE POLICE REPORT FROM THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE, BECAUSE THE POLICE ARE AWARE THAT THIS FUND IS TRANSFERRED FROM SECURITY COMPANY ( AMSTERDAM) DOWN TO THIS BANK FOR SAFETY PURPOSE, AND BEFORE THE FUND WILL BE TRANSFER TO ANOTHER FOREIGN ACCOUNT, YOU HAVE TO OBTAIN A POLICE REPORT FROM THE NATIONAL POLICE FORCE TO INFORM THEM THAT YOU WANT YOUR FUND TRANSFERED TO YOUR INLAND ACCOUNT.
MADAM, IT IS VERY VITAL TO SECURED THESE TWO DOCUMENTS TO AVOID ANY PROBLEM IN FEATURE AND ALSO TO AVOID THIS BANK HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE POLICE FOR MONEY LAUNDERING.
MEANWHILE, CONCERNING THE COST OF TRANSFER ($3,900), IN EVERY TRANSACTION LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL, EVERY CLIENT MUST PAY A TRANSFER CHARGE ACCORDING THE SAID AMOUNT WHICH IS TO BE TRANSFER, TO ENABLE HIS/HER FUND BEING TRANSFERRED INTO THE NOMINATED ACCOUNT, THIS IS DONE IN EVERY BANK TO BANK TRANSACTION.

[And Eliza reacts with customary decorum... and a hint of some trouble to come.]

Mr Walter,
Three words; bullshit, bullshit, BULLSHIT!
I've never heard so much CRAP ever!
First off; why the fuck does the high court vet money being transferred? Does Rupert Murdoch have to go to the Supreme Court to get clearance to send money from one country to another? Does Kerry Packer have to park his hairy ass in the High Court in Canberra for that sort of transaction?
No, I don't fucking well think so!
Secondly - what sort of police force gets involved in bank transfers? Don't you dickheads have an IRS or Tax office that handles that? Tyr's hand! They should be catching crims, not hassling me!
Third up - don't try to pull that one on me! I can see EXACTLY what's going on. Just because I'm a foreigner, a woman, and young, you think you can pull some fucking snow job on me, slapping on some charge plucked out of the air.
Stop this bollocks RIGHT NOW or I'm going to think about getting some top-level help on this.
My brother is an officer in the SAS. He has clout with some interesting people. He could get you sent to Gitmo so fast you won't know which way is up!

I wait you to be rest assured that l will send you the entire document on Tuesday, to enable you send them to the Bank for the transferring our fund into your account, $25million USD.
Kindly send the transfer fee, to the bank and let them know that you will be sending them the entire document needed in this matter.
I will update you on Tuesday, when l return from his office, and proceed for the AFFIDAVIT.
I pray by Tuesday the fund will hit your account.

For fuck's sake, I don't give a fucking flying foetid dingo's kidney about the chinwag you had with your cop buddy about this fucking POLICE REPORT!
What I want to know is, why should a bank have to get a POLICE REPORT before making some international transaction? Holy Odin! As far as I'm concerned this is all some bullshit they're shovelling to line their pockets.
Get me confirmation, I don't care how; just get me something to show the need for this POLICE REPORT.

[Since he seemingly doesn't mind being insulted, he shouldn't object to Eliza wishing him a really painful death.]

Eliza Dane
Don't call me partner, you little turd motherfucker!
If I had the power I'd make sure my brother and his troops dragged you and the other liars like you from those pus-pits of cybercafes and soaked you in petrol and set you on fire and made sure you felt every fucking second as you burned to death like the cockroaches that you are.
Thomas Green

Eliza Dane
No, I'm saying - not trying to say, but SAYING - that thanx to my brother I know you and your bum-buddy Walter are fucking scam artists who are after my money and there is no money in any bank for me.
If only Ross had found out about it sooner I'd have sent you nothing! For fuck's sake, I told you I wanted you to die in the most painful way imaginable, and you still don't get it? OK...
YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR AND I WANT YOU TO DIE SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas Green
14 February 2007

Thanks,
Mr. Thomas.

[Hint got ignored.
Can't have that!
Eliza explains just what the SAS do.
Will the Lad understand?]

Eliza Dane
Mr Green,
My brother is with the SPECIAL AIR SERVICES REGIMENT.
They are the BEST OF THE BEST.
They are the ones who KILL TERRORISTS and go BEHIND ENEMY LINES to blow things up and ambush convoys and so on. They are chosen for their courage and mental and physical toughness.
Ross came back from a tour in Afghanistan with 18 confirmed kills of Taliban terrorists. He told me that I was one of the reasons he fights - because I'm one of a group despised by the Taliban; a woman.
I trust him because he's a hero. I don't believe you because you're a liar and a thief.
If you expect me to send money on the strength of some papers that look more like something out of a cheap showbag, you are a fucking retard. And come on, I've sussed what happens next; you'll want the $2,300 mentioned on the affidavit.
Grow a brain, shitstain, and get fucked.

[Meanwhile - out of the blue comes someone Eliza crossed paths with before.
This Lad had tried to muscle in on a bait in progress, apparently mistaking Ross and Eliza for fellow-Lads.
He faded away after a time, but now he returns - this time acting as if he knows Eliza to be a maga, and as if he's working with Thomas Green and his friends.]

Just who the fuck are you? You ain't my Long Term Partner, you never told me anything about being a businessman (you never contacted me before), and I don't know what the fuck you're doing sticking your nose in.
Explain yourself, and make it good!

[It's shorter than some of Mr Walter's explanations, but it makes even less sense.

How are you today?
l told you that l am in Malaysia? and you told me that you are from Australia.
l wait to the Bank, to Deposit the money l will use in paying goods from my customers, l want there after signing and all the register of my name, l saw your name too among the list there are transfering there fund among the list.

Thanks,
Mr. Adim.
Eliza Dane
Mr Amala,
I sorta remember that... but you never said anything about being a businessman. I had no idea what you were talking about.
Actually now it makes sense. Tom Green said he'd come back from Malaysia - so you must be the new partner he was talking about; the one he dumped me for! Sonofabitch finally got round to getting my money released, but then we got hung up on some fucking ID issues.
Anyhoo - that still doesn't explain why you're getting involved.

l wait to hear from you as you do that.
Thanks,
Adim Amala.
Eliza Dane
Mr Amala,
I am not your partner. You are some stickybeak who decided to peek at something that was none of your business and thought you'd put in your two cents worth.
FYI, I am in contact with the bank, but we've had problems with ID and other documentation. It'll get sorted out.
Until then, what have you got to do with this?
AFAIK, nothing!

Stop contacting me. You're totally irrelevant, a complete waste of time, a fucking nonentity butting in and I don't know why. What the fuck do you want, a tip?

To enable them commence action immediately and transfer your fund into your account.
l write to inform you that the Bank is ready to transfer your fund into your account, but if you dont want to claim it you can claim the 1million USD.
l wait to hear from you immediately.
With Best Regards,
Mr. Peter.

[Has the Lad passed Eliza on to some other Lad? If so, I don't think that "Peter Eke" is going to thank him!

Given that this letter also uses 1 instead of I, it could still be the same Lad...]

Eliza Dane
Mr Eke,
Tom Green's gone to Spain... how the fuck did he manage that? Last time I heard he was dead broke and crying poor! So how did he get the bank to issue a cheque? Whose account?
And that brings to my big question - what the fuck is going on?
First the money was in a security firm in Holland, then for some reason it was banked in Nigeria, and then no-one was talking to me. Now I find the money is still in Nigeria, but you're sending me a draft from a bank in England!
Holy Odin! I don't know what the fuck you're up to but it ain't pretty!
I don't know what your boss has been drinking, but he's fucked you over like a two-dollar hooker. I paid him $5000 more than a year ago, for all fees and charges, and as far as he told me recently, that covered everything. He never said anything about a transfer fee.
What gives?
I just asked you a bunch of questions and I want them answered immediately!

Eliza Dane

[Once again we have a long answer that ends up saying very little. Whatever the cause of the one-month hiatus (and assuming it's the original Lad), it seems to have affected the Lad's memory - there's an excellent reason for Eliza to believe that Thomas Green was dead broke (as in he actually said he had no money). The bit about "side talks" and "intruders" had me wondering if the Lad believed that I'd been contacted by another scammer.

Peter Eke
31/03/2007

Dear Partner Elizabeth,

Thanks for your urgent reply all together with the question towards your fund? You are very right and correct, Yes Mr. Tom Green travel to Spina for a business of which l told you that. l dont really understand what you mean that you over heard that he was dead broke, l most tell you that you dont have to listen to side talks or listen to anybody, that is introders.
Meanwhile, regards to your check, before he travel he showed me all the legal document needed from the Bank to enable them transfer your fund into your account 25million USD.
He told me that since you are not willing and ready to send the transfer fee to the bank, that he has instrcuted the bank to issu out a draft bank check on your name of 1million USD. That the bank will work by his intsruction since you dont want to claim your fund, that the bank did what his ask them to do, he explain this very well to me, now the bank is asking me if really l know you as the true owner of the fund l said yes and mentioned your name to them and there cross check your name is very correct with the one my boss present to them,
You are very right, my boss told me that the money was deposited in the Security Company in Holland, but the security company have a problem in there custody with some there customer fund, there have to transfer every fund in there care to there bank there are using.
Why the Draft Bank Check issued out from the England is that there are the head of the bank, and the manager of the Bank here instructed there agebt to issued out the check from there breach over there since there dont have all the items for the check of 1million USD.
My Dear, l am very right that you send them all the money for the processing of the fund when the fund id deposited in the Security Company in Holland, he use all the money for the processing of the fund and pay for the Demurrage fee and get the document there require for,
When the money was transfer down to Nigeria here, for him to start preparing for the claim, there ask for the legal document to enable you claim the fund as the true owner of the fund of which he did that by borrowing some money to travle to the Federal High Court Abuja to secure.
That cost him very huge amount of money to vsecure all the document the bank require for, the man he borrowed the money his after his money, of which l will try his number to know how are we going to pay him back.
That is all l know for now, but if you are willing and ready to claim your fund out from the Bank, all the document is there, just kindly send the transfer fee to the bank to enable them commence action immediately on that.
Thanks,
My Adivce to you.
With Best Regards,
Mr. Peter.
Eliza Dane
Mr Eke,
Don't PATRONISE me!!!
I KNOW that you told me that Tom Green had gone to Spain. As for knowing that he was dead broke - what the fuck are you on about with this crap about "side talks" and "intruders"? He pretty much told me himself with all that palaver about having to borrow money. You got that? You can bet your fucking ass that I want that money! I paid Tom Green $5000 for the fees required, and then he raised all that bullshit about stamp fees - that I'd already paid!
If he told you that he'd used the money to pay for the demurrage, then he's a fucking liar. He sent me a precise listing of the money and what it was needed for. As for this - "how are we going to pay him back" - fuck him! He's getting $12.5 million; he can suck up a few thousand!
Who's the contact at the bank? Is it still that Walter guy? I want to make sure that the money's still there and that your boss hasn't done a runner!

Meanwhile, l most tell you that your fund is right now in the bank, wanting for you to claim your fund out from the Bank. You just mention about Mr. Walter the formar Bank Manager, l have to inform you that Mr. Walter is not longer the Manage of the Universal Trust Bank.

However, l am assuring you that your fund is very okay now in the Universal Trust Bank Plc. $25million USD. You can step and stand to claim your fund as the true owner of the fund, since you have all the legal document required from the bank.

Mr Peter,
If you don't know what Tom Green did with my money, then fucking well ask him! You must have a contact number in Spain!
He told some stupid sob-story about spending it all on hospital fees. Sorry, but that's theft in my book!

No, guess not...

Eliza's reaction is fairly predicable.

Eliza Dane
Mrs Frank,
What the fuck were you doing involving the entire board of your bank in this deal? Tyr's hand, it's none of their business! It's down to you!
Don't you have their trust?
So my money's been marked down for swift transfer? Could have fooled me with all the farting around you lot have done.
Well, you can get back in the attic and UN-program it and take the $3900 out, like every other bank in the world would do.
Eliza Dane.

[By now the astute reader will have worked out that while some scammers are loners, others work in ad hoc teams of people who may never meet personally - one to send out the original scam letter, one to provide 'certificates', one to pick up the money order sent by the victim. They will split the percentage various ways. The name of the person picking up the money keeps changing in this correspondence, but it could well be the same person each time, and the money order can be picked up anywhere in the world with the right information.]

[Now - a little brutality is called for...]

Mrs Frank,
Just now much cock did you suck to get that job? Look, it's quite simple - take the line of letters and numbers at the bottom of the passport. Remove the letters. You are left with this set of numbers - 10933517721-23210806138. Take the first 12 and there is the MTCN for the STO.
Just send your toy-boy to the bank with his ID, and as long as he gets the Q&A right, he'll be just fine and dandy! For fuck's sake, keep up with the times!
Eliza Dane

[But that was a bit too much even for Ann Frank... and so it ends.]
