While relaxing in his study with a nice glass of Talisker, Lord Fuzzlewait enjoys wasting scammers' time. In this first-time outing on Scamorama, he demonstrates the techniques of the masters - stalling for time, wielding his own forms-to-fill-out, and creating dissension between scammers. Lord F winds things up with the classic imaginary rival scammer and delicately releases his scammer back into the wild without giving up his own persona.

Good Day Please Read,

I am writting to seek your coperation over this business, Please due welcome this letter.

I am Mr.kasimo Madu, the director of the accounts & auditing dept .at the African Development Bank Ouagadougou-west Africa . (A D B) With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us.

At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, my staffs came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt was among the deceased passengers of motor accident on November. 2003, the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client.

Since his demise, even the members of his family haven't applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the department, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too.

The total amount in the account is ten million five hundred thousand dollars (USD 10,500,000.00).with my positions as staffs of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim over this money. The client was a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin and I will supply you with all the necessary information and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this neymo could be transferred into.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incure by both of us. The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account.

Since I work in this bank that is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired.

I will wish you to keep this transaction secret and confidential as I am hoping to retire with my share of this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safety in your account. I will then come over to your country for sharing according to the previously agreed percentages. You might even have to advise me on possibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May God help you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen.

Please for further information and enquiries feel free to contact me through this my e_mail: (mr.kasimo_madu00@yahoo.fr) or call me back immediately for more explanation and better understanding.
I am waiting for your urgent response!!!
Thanks and remain blessed.

Dear Mr Madu:

Your proposal interests me exceedingly. I certainly can advise you on investing wisely in my country.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait
Kasimo Madu

(the usual long-winded monologue of it being risk free but needing certain legal documents to proceed):

Dear friend

Thank you for your answer to my proposition. How is your family? I hope no problem. Please I want you to know that this is a legitimate transaction, don't be afraid of anything, it is real and genuine.

You are advice to look at my second mail and when you assure me that you will help me to safe keep this fund when it enters into your account I will prepare the official request form or application letter which you will fill and send it to our bank by the e-mail address of the bank to pay you pressing attention to your demand towards the bank as the heir for dead customer.

Know that this deal is 100 % risk free. Be assured that I shall supply you with the detailed information which they will require from you as regards to this deal.

Note, you should not allow the bank to know that you have a partner who supplies you with the information they require from you to support your demand as heir to Mr Kattan Azmal.

Scam-o-note: This is all a red herring. The bank is not a bank. The partner is not a partner. The suggestion someone is illegally feeding you information is meant to distract you, and - should you later complain you were robbed - to make you feel guilty. And now back to our regularly scheduled scambait.]

Be assured that if you can understand and follow my instructions, there will be no difficulty for the bank to transfer this fund into your account. I am a man of 46yrs with 3 children.

I will retire from the public service any moment as soon as I conclude this deal with you. Bear in mind that this fund belongs to a foreigner but regrettably he died with his family in fatal motor accident and so far nobody came to our bank to demand this fund as heir to the deceased and I being from Burkina Faso citizen, I cannot demand this fund because it belongs to a foreigner and only a foreigner can demand this fund.

Note that the fund must be transferred in your account under 7 working days counting from the day of submission of your application and approval by our bank.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incure by both of us. The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account

There will be some vital and legal documents to back up this transfer into your account and there is no way the bank will transfer the money into your account without those documents which is going to obtain here as the origin and source of this fund.

Meanwhile I make it very clear this fund is here life in this bank so do not be afraid to apply as the next of kin, am here to back you up to make sure everything is ok.

I await your answer as urgency implies. Thank you and my respect to your beautiful family and to hope to be with you soon.

Call me on this line for further explanations: +226 7573 9117,Please equally forward your telephone number to me for effective communication.

You send the mail to him so that he will start the process immediately without any delay.. I give thanks to almighty God that the bank has finally approved the fund on your name, now as the bank has requested for you to come down, please let me know if you are coming down or not, but I have to let you know whether you are coming down or not you have to contact the lawyer first, because he is the only person in position to get all these legal documents on your behalf in different ministries which is the duty of the lawyer because there is no other person who can do it and submit to the bank .if you cannot come down, you have to give him the power of attorney to sign the final release order from the bank to make sure the fund is transferred into your account. If you are coming down, send the application to the lawyer and start making arrangement for and your coming down in order to enable you will sign the release order by your self.

We have to choose the lawyer the bank gave to us for him to stand on your behalf and do every thing to sign the release order even if you can come, we still need the service of the lawyer because the documents the bank has requested, is the job of a lawyer, so email me back or call me to enable me know the option you have chosen.

Be informed that your name is now on the notice board for the payment. NOTE / Those documents are to back up your claim to avoid the Government of your Country from questioning the source of the huge sum. Am also attaching the letter you will send to the lawyer so that he can go to the bank and pick all information that is needed for the transfer.

(I am coming to Burkina Faso):

Dear Mr Madu:

I contacted Mr Chambers, as per your instructions. I told him that you recommended me to him to obtain the certificate of claim, certificate of legality, and death certificate for a deceased account holder at his bank. As I do not engage the services of a attorney whom I never met, I will be coming to Burkino Faso to meet him and, of course, you. My itinerary is as follows:

Since I am lacking travel preparation time, I asked Barrister Chambers to meet me at the airport and book a hotel for me. Perhaps we could all meet at the hotel? Contact Mr Chambers to see which hotel he booked.

See you on Sept 24.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait
Kasimo Madu

(we need the services of a lawyer now to proceed with this transaction:)

Dear Lord Fuzzlewait

Hope you are alright,Thanks for your cooperation and much concern, all the content of your mail is well notd and understood. Your coming to Burkina Faso is excellent but you must contact lawyer bank lawyer first before coming for the processing of the 3 legal documents, those documents will be ready before your arrival.

Meanwhile I have to let you know whether you are coming down or not you have to contact the lawyer first, because he is the only person in position to get all these legal documents on your behalf from different ministries, this is the duty of the lawyer because there is no other person who can do it and submit to the bank, then he take you to the bank to sign the release order of this fund from bank.

So if you are coming down, I want you to fill up the application letter first and it to the lawyer and start making arrangement for your coming down in order to enable you will sign the release order by yourself besides you must pay for those documents before your arrival.

Listen we must engage the service of lawyer because those documents are the job of lawyer procured, if you come here without seeking for bank attorney service, you know that is it will very difficult for us.

Please I want you to follow up the advice I gave you here and make sure you fill up the form and it to the lawyer to contact him for the procurement or processing of these three legal certificates before your arrival next week so that when you come here those 3 legal documents will be ready, then his chamber will take to the our bank management to encounter signing release order of this fund.

The lawyer requests 4 350 Euros immediately for his fees:

Dear Client,

This honourable chamber is hereby bringing to your knowledge that you have send the requested sum of 4,350 euro before we can proceed with your request.

Lord Fuzzlewait

(Attorney Chambers must comply with the anti-money laundering forms before money is wired:)

Dear Mr Chambers:

I have received your emails and noted the contents contained therein.

I visited the Moneygram and Western Union offices today. Due to recent anti-money laundering legislation, they are now REQUIRED BY LAW to have the recipient of their wire transfer send them a scanned image of their passport page PLUS fill in their forms. I am sending you Moneygram's forms to be filled in. Western Union's forms are even longer.

Your request must be opposed for the following reasons:
a) Because it will take some time to fill these forms in, send them back to me, and then have Moneygram verify them before wiring any funds, it does not make any sense to fill them in when I will be arriving with the money in your city in a few days
b) I will be in your capital for a while; hence, whether or not you have the money to have the forms ready for me upon arrival or must wait until I arrive, receive the money, and then spend a few days gathering them before presenting them to me personally is not an issue. Please do not tell me that it will take longer to secure the forms when I am in the capital than when I am not. No government works this way.

I will be in your city in a few days - the same length of time it would take Moneygram or Western Union to verify the forms and wire you the money.

Quit wasting valuable time and make the arrangements requested.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait

Abdoul Kader

He refuses to fill in the forms and demands I send him the money before he obtains the "certificates":

Dear Client,

This honourable chamber is hereby bringing to your knowledge that you have send the requested sum of 4,350 euro before we can proceed with your request.

With due respect, we are sorry to inform you that we are not going to work on your request, before securing those legal documents you have to pay the cost of the certificates so that those certificates will available before your arrival.

Hasten up and send the total amount to enable us proceed with your request.

Respect,
Hon.Abdoul Kader Chambers

Abdoul Kader

He wants me to use Western Union instead. He uses the same terminology as the bank:

Dear Client,

You are highly advise to send the requested fee through western union Money transfer, we are not filling any from Money Gram for your information.

With due respect, if you really needs our service kindly adhere to our directives and send this total sum through Western Union Money transfer and update us with your transfer details.

This honourable Chamber will not tolerate any atom of delay no matter whom it may concern, so go ahead and send the through western union with the information given you.

Lastly without receiving the money we are going to proceed with your request as your legal attorney.

Respect
Hon.Abdoul Kader Chambers

Lord Fuzzlewait

Attorney Chambers is told that regardless of what wire fund service he uses, he must fill in the "forms" and is berated for his attitude. The only way not to fill in these forms is if I personally come to Burkina Faso and give him the money:

Dear Mr Chamber:

I have received your email. Your English is extremely poor which makes deciphering your writing difficult and indicates that your reading comprehension is very low. May I venture to guess that you did not graduate at the top of your class?

As I explained previously, whether or not you employ Western Union, Moneygram, or some other wire service, all of these services are REQUIRED BY LAW to comply with federal anti-money laundering legislation. This legislation REQUIRES them to have the RECIPIENT, YOU in this case, fill out their forms and send a scanned image of the recipient's passport page. This is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT. I do not have a choice whether or not to comply with it. Western Union or Moneygram will REFUSE to sendFUNDS if YOU DO NOT COMPLY WITH THIS LEGISLATION. I sent you the Moneygram forms to fill out as they are more quickly filled out than the Western Union forms which are attached. If you do not fill out the forms, the wire service will simply refuse to send you any cash, for your information. As you insist on using Western Union, please fill in these forms and send the scans of the completed forms, along with a scan of the recipient's passport page to me, as quickly as possible.

"This honourable Chamber will not tolerate any atom of delay no matter whom it may concern, so go ahead and send the through western union with the information given you" - Chamber does not have a say in this matter, I am afraid. Either he complies with federal anti-money laundering legislation or he can showboat elsewhere. The federal government does not care about his personal feelings in the matter.

As I mentioned and you failed to grasp, even if you immediately fill in the forms and send them in to me, by the time Western Union verifies the information sent in, I will be in Burkino Faso. As I mentioned, one way to circumvent this legislation is for me to personally come to Burkino Faso with the required cash. This way, no forms need to be filled out. And I can meet Mr Chamber and if I agree to engage his services, I will pay the fees to him immediately.

"Lastly without receiving the money we are going to proceed with your request as your legal attorney." As you mentioned, I am glad that you are already proceeding with the forms as your sentence promises. When I arrive in Ougagougou, these forms should be ready then.

I did ask that you book a hotel and meet me at the airport when I land. That way, we can proceed to the hotel, meet Mr Madu, and transact our business as quickly and confidentially as possible.

I off to Heathrow right now. See you in Ougagougou.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait

Lord Fuzzlewait

(Me to Attorney Chambers. I thank him for picking me up at the airport and taking me to a hotel and I mention that I "gave" him money for the certificates at the hotel (he never did nor did I go to Burkina Faso but it screwed him up anyways):)

Dear Mr Chambers:

How nice it was to meet you in person, at last, after such a long journey, in Ouagadougou. You have a different personality from the pompous, conceited, semi-illiterate, half-wit that your reply emails seem to have indicated that you possess.

The hotel that you selected in Ouagadougou was not the one that I had specified but it is adequate, nonetheless. Following your advice, I checked in using an alias to remove any suspicion between Mr Madu and I.

After a wonderful meal, I gave you the fees that you requested for the certificates needed to complete the transaction. If these fees are inadequate or if any unexpected expenses occur, I do have a considerable sum of money left over to pay you. Just drop by the hotel and let me know.

I await your news.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait

Lord Fuzzlewait

(Me to Madu. I complain about Attorney Chamber's idiocy and ask him to inquire about the certificate's status:)

Dear Mr Madu:

As I explained to Mr Chambers, which he had a great deal of difficulty understanding, is that in order to wire any funds, he is first required to fill out some forms and send in a scanned image of the recipient's passport page for the wire transfer agency. All wire transfer agencies, whether Moneygram or Western Union, are REQUIRED by anti-money laundering federal legislation to have copies of the receipient's passport and have these forms filled in BEFORE they could transfer any funds. This fact went completely beyond Mr Chamber's comprehension ability. When I told him about this fact and sent him the Moneygram forms to complete, he demanded that I use Western Union instead. He even claimed that he would not tolerate any delay, no matter from whom. He should try telling that to the federal government when they demand to know why he did not fill out their required forms. A complete idiot! I never dealt with such a foolish clown masquerading as a man! And he is a lawyer? I then explained this fact to him again and then sent him Western Union's forms to complete.

Another fact that he had trouble grasping is that by the time he fills in the forms, sends them to me, I hand them in to the wire transfer service, and they have these forms verified, I would be flying to Burkino Faso. There is simply not enough time to arrange a wire transfer - these forms have to be filled in and verified before any funds are sent. His delaying tactics did not help matters any. I told him the only way around these regulations is for me to come to Burkino Faso with the necessary cash. That way there would be no forms to fill in and I could give him the cash directly.

After arriving in Ouagadougou, I met Mr Chambers. Although he is far from bright (or "not all there" as you may say), he may suit our needs.

I asked Mr Chambers to book a hotel room in Ouagadougou for me, citing several possibilities. The hotel that he selected and I was taken to after being met at the airport was different from the ones that I suggested but this hotel is still adequate. Following his advice, I checked in using an alias in order to remove any possibility of suspicion of collaboration between you and I.

I then gave Mr Chambers the requested amount for the certificates that he needs to complete the transaction. I told him that if these fees were inadequate or if any unexpected expenses occurred, I did have a considerable sum of money left over and could pay him. He just had to come by the hotel and let me know.

I am still awaiting news from him. I suggest that you contact him to find out where he is in the process of getting the certificates and completing our transaction and then relay this information to me.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait

Lord Fuzzlewait

(Me to Attorney Chambers. I complain that he did not drop by the "hotel" with the documents "as he promised". Then, I mention that at the hotel, I met someone with a more lucrative business proposal than his:)

Dear Mr Chambers:

After meeting with you at the hotel and giving you the required funds you said you need to obtain the certificates, you promised to come by the hotel Friday evening with the required documents. You did not turn up. May I ask what the delay is and when you will be coming?

Time is of the utmost importance here. I have emailed Mr Madu and asked him to contact you.

While waiting for Mr Chambers, I met a delightful fellow, Mr Abachi, who is much more professional and business-like than you. Mr Abachi has a much more lucrative business proposal than Mr Madu's, I am afraid. If I do not hear from you within the next day or so, I feel compelled to go with Mr Abachi's proposal. Come by the hotel right away.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait

Lord Fuzzlewait

(I ask Madu to contact Attorney Chambers and ask why he did not turn up "as promised". I then mention the other business proposal that I might adopt if he does not turn up.)

Dear Mr Madu:

After meeting with Mr Chambers at the hotel and giving him the required funds, he promised to come by the hotel Friday evening with the required documents. He did not turn up. Could you contact him and ask what the delay is and when he will be coming?

Time is of the utmost importance here.

Mr Abachi has a much more lucrative business proposal than yours, I am afraid. If I do not hear from Mr Chambers within the next day or so, I feel compelled to go with Mr Abachi's proposal. Please relay this information to Mr Chambers and have him come by the hotel right away.

(Attorney Chambers blows up:)

BASTARD IDIOT, DONT SEND ANY EMAIL TO MY ACCOUNT AGAIN BEFORE I SLAUGHTER YOU.

YOU ARE MORE THAN A FOOL.
Lord Fuzzlewait

(Me to Madu complaining about Mr Chambers blow-up:)

Dear Mr Madu:

I know, from past emails, that you were very desirous to obtain visas for your family to my country and invest the proceeds of the transaction in some worthy ventures here. As you said, your whole family was waiting upon news of the successful transaction with bated breath.

I afraid that the bank-accredited attorney, the Hon. Abdoul Chambers, whom you recommended that I use to obtain the certificates necessary to claim the deceased accountholder's assets is totally unsuitable. He just sent me the following email:

BASTARD IDIOT, DONT SEND ANY EMAIL TO MY ACCOUNT AGAIN BEFORE I SLAUGHTER YOU.

YOU ARE MORE THAN A FOOL.

May I express my shock and horror at his vulgar language? Any reputable attorney can express himself without the use of vile profanities. It just goes to show his low character - one that cannot be trusted. Are you certain that he possesses all of his mental faculties?

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait
Lord Fuzzlewait

(My final email to Mr Chambers:)

My dear Mr Chambers:

Such shocking language from a bank-accredited honorable attorney. Any educated attorney knows how to express himself without the use of vile profanity and illegal death threats, which opens you up to criminal prosecution. I will file a complaint with the law society in the jurisdiction to which you claim you practice in as well as with local law enforcement agencies.

Yours,
Lord Fuzzlewait
