SINCE YOU WERE SO KIND TO GIVE ME YOUR INFORMATION, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU. I STRUGGLED THROUGH COLLEGE AS A POOR WORKING CLASS KID. NOTHING CAME EASY. ENDS WERE TOUGH TO MEET. LUCKILY, I WON THE NCAA BASKETBALL POOL WITH MY BUDDIES RIGHT BEFORE GRADUATION. IT WAS ONLY $1500. BUT IT WAS BETTER THAN NOTHING, AND IT ALLOWED ME TO EAT THREE MEALS A DAYS FOR A WHILE. I KNEW SOMETHING HAD TO DONE, SO I BOUGHT A TICKET AND WENT TO THE ORIENT. WITH $100 TO MY NAME. I FLEW TO TOKYO, JAPAN. AS LUCK WOULD BE WITH ME, I PURCHASED A CARP FARM IN JAPAN FROM A LEAD FROM A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE MUCH LIKE YOU. AFTER A BIT OF SUCCESS AND BY HIRING THE BEST FISH EXPERTS IN ASIA, WE QUICKLY WERE ABLE TO GROW SUPERIOR FISH. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THOSE CARP MAN, THEY WERE HUGE. ONCE WORD GOT OUT OF OUR PRODUCT, WE WON A CONTRACT WORTH $1 MILLION USD TO USE OUR CARP ON THE IRON CHEF. THE EPIC CARP BATTLE WITH IRON CHEF JAPAN MOSIHITO MORIMORTO WAS INCREDIBLE. FROM THERE WE SOLD $3 MILLION USD IN CARP TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF JAPAN. PROMPTLY I SOLD MY CARP HOLDINGS TO A MR. HO LEE SHEET FOR $8 MILLION USD. GIVEN MY TRACK RECORD, WE COULD MAKE SOME SERIOUS CASH DUDE. Oops, that damn CAP lock button always sticks, sorry. Anyway, my architect, a MR. MICHAEL BRADY, is working with me about building a new Casino on the coast of North Dakota. This could be huge, and we are looking to raise capital. I need a trusted partner. Are you worthy?

I thought that I gave you the information, but here it is again in more detail, and I hope it is sufficient to move forward. Mike Brady is really starting to put the heat on me to close the deal.

I am currently in North Dakota reviewing the job site of the Casino. Man, let me tell you that the coast here is incredible. The sun, the waves, the clean crisp air... I wish that you could be here with me to see the incredible work that we are about to get underway! Anyway, I spoke again to Mike Brady and informed him that I had a group of foreign investors ready to assist the Casino funding. He informed me that he needs some kind of document to support the initial first right to financing, so the sooner I get something the better. He is a bit paranoid about it, but I assured him that it is ok. The good news is that he is taking vacation this week with his family, so that should buy some time. I am glad that you did not have to listen to his vacation stories of the Grand Canyon, King's Island, and Hawaii-it was rather tedious. Enough, sorry I am getting off the subject. I will keep you in the loop, or if anything else changes, let us know. My Administrative Assistant Shania Twain is always able to get a hold of me. May God help us together in business! Your Friend, The Count CEO Pendejo Builders THE COUNTSent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 7:57 AM To: 'dr.aligaruba@juno.com' Subject:Dear Dr. Ali, Hello my friend, how are you? It has been a couple of days, and I have not heard from you. I realize the strike and all, but we really need to get moving forward here. Hurricane season is rapidly approaching and I really want to break ground on my project as soon as possible. The good news is that the fine folks of North Dakota are great at hurricane management policies and your investment will be well protected by my insurance company. In the meantime, I have contacted my account manager Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Bank of Dummkopf in Berlin to advise that a substantial deposit is fore coming. Please do not worry, I kept our deal *Top Secret* and simply told them I had a mutual investment partner starting a corporation. I also offered him a small percent of the deposit to help keep things under wrap if you know what I mean. That Arnold is quite a Terminator when it comes to deals like that. It was like he was a Predator or something. Glad he is on our team. Whatever can be done to expedite the process would be greatly appreciated. My architect and partner Mike Brady has a friend Sam, who is a meat cutter, and he emailed me that Texas Beef Futures are due for a great rise in price this fall, so I may have to invest elsewhere if we can't close this out. Luckily for us, Brady is still on vacation this week. But I know he will ask me right away when he gets back what is going on.

He is very concerned about our business transaction, due to the large amount of money. Since he is a trusted friend and partner, I listened to his advice. In order to complete our transaction he requested that you fill out the form below and email back to me. I really don't speak German. Luckily, Ms. Twain my beloved assistant took German in college and was able to translate. It basically is asking for your address, copy of passport and a bank reference and signature. I told Mr. Schwarzenegger that things were ok, but he said it was some German law thing. Whatever. In any event, I got the final paperwork faxed to me from the Netherlands and will send them upon completion of your end. I thought this wouldn't be a dig deal, and just want to keep moving forward.

I am confused and frustrated. Please, please, help me. I am in dire situation. First the Post Bank sends me a fax to email my bank things to info_@post.com, and I did. Here is a copy of the email. (included previous e-mail to Miss Victoria) Now, you are telling me that I need to work it out with Mr. NICO, who I have already contacted? WHAT ARE DOING MAN! WHAT IS GOING ON??? I have done my part--yet I am STILL waiting for your information. My German bank is yelling at me. I had to bribe Arnold Schwarzenegger $10,000 USD to help me lock up the deal through the Bank of Dummkopf for our transaction. He is like a crazed Running Man to get this closed. He is just concerned that this deal may be True Lies so he sends the form to me to be safe and YOU CAN'T FILL IT OUT? Now, Arnold wants HIS money. Dr. Ali, I am not sure if you have ever dealt with big Bavarian Germans. If you anger them, that is a REAL bad thing. If I don't take care of Arnold, he will become enraged to the likes of Conan the Barbarian, and if that happens, my knee caps will become a shattered mess. Then, he'll want to find you, and we don't want that. [Scam-o-note: We feel compelled to point out that the Arnold Schwarzenegger which the Count probably has in mind is from Austria. We're not looking for trouble.] I am scheduled to close on the land deal of my Casino on Friday in North Dakota. I need cash to close. If we can't lock this up soon, I will be forced to cash in my bonds from the Texas Beef Market that Sam gave me a tip on. This is really dragging on too long, with too many people and now too many questions. I need your passport copy and form filled out. HOW HARD IS THAT? Then you send it to me, I send it to my bank and then you transfer the money. How hard is that? Please my friend, we must use EXTREME URGENCY or deal will be jeopardized.

Ugh. Anyway, Mike Brady submitted the plans of the Casino and they were approved by the North Dakota Coastal Commission. Woo hoo!! All they need now is the down payment and we are ready to go. I forwarded your information to Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, it is 3AM in Germany [and Austria, too, for that matter], so he won't see it until tomorrow. I am sure that everything will be okay.

I am beginning to think that this whole thing is a just some kind of game or something. I am a very busy person and we have been screwing around with this deal for 2 weeks now. I am at my wits end. Can you PLEASE get your banker to get his head on straight? More News: As I mentioned yesterday, I sent your document to Arnold Schwarzenegger, my bank associate in Germany. He just emailed me. He thanks you for the document, but is demanding a full passport or state ID copy. Due to the large amount of transfer, he stated that it is impetrative to know who exactly we are dealing with.

In accordance with US Federal Tax Code 6.9.45(a), I will be required to submit a detailed outline of the $1,245.50 "internal fee" for my fiscal 2003 year taxes. Basically, it will help me protect the assets that are getting transferred from taxation. It is great how the law makers make lots of loopholes and stuff. Trust me, if I had to pay 16% on this stash of wealth it would be quite a hit. Also, it will help avoid German surcharges as well. Please send that ASAP. Also, how am I supposed to pay this? THE COUNTSent: Friday, July 11, 2003 8:17 AM To: 'dr.aligaruba@juno.com' Subject:Dear Dr Ali, My friend, I got this email from Dr. Nico asking for $1245.50 Euro in fees. I responded that I need a detailed invoice for tax purposes to cover my assets from taxation. Not a big deal, that is petty change compared to the over all costs of the Casino project. I can cover that no problem. Anyway, Dr. Nico did not mention how he wanted the money sent, so I asked for that information. In the meantime, I called my financial adviser Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Bank of Dummkopf in Germany, to begin the process to transfer the fee. He became enraged and very mad. He demanded information about the plan, and I did. He told me that there is no Post Bank in the Netherlands. Dr. Ali, Mr. Schwarzenegger is a top banker in Germany and knows his stuff. I did not believe him, but went online and found no match either! This is horrible. I am worried that Dr. Nico is trying to rob you and scam me out of money too. Since all of the money is supposedly in the Netherlands, I am not sure what to do. I would hate to see your fortune be lost forever! Dr. Ali, What shall we do? (After several frustrating emails by me, Dr. Ali finally cracks when I accuse "Nico" of fraud, even though there really is a Post Bank in the Netherlands.)

DR ALI GARUBASent: Monday, July 14, 2003 9:15 AM To: The Count Subject: GET BACK TO ME TODAYDEAR COUNT, THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL , YOU SHLOUD UNDERSTAND THAT IS YOUR ACCOUNT MANAGER IS TRY TO BE UP TO SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT BELIVE SO I AM SORRY TO BE HARD ON YOU IN MY LAST MAIL TRY TO CAUTION MR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ON THIS DEAL PLEASE TRY AND CALL DR NICO, SO THAT THIS FUND CAN BE WIRE TO YOUR ACCOUNT WITHIN 48HOUR PLEASE LET MOVE FORWARD THANKS GOD BLESS DR ALIGARUBA (He just does not get it. This is beyond comical...oh what the heck, I'll press on..) THE COUNTSent: Monday, July 14, 2003 9:55 AMSubject: Dear Dr. Ali, O.K. I did indeed see that Post Bank exists in the Netherlands. I should have known better than to trust Schwarzenegger, he was quite a work of art anyway. I think that he was trying to embezzle the transaction. I have since fired him as my German Financial advisor over the weekend after reading your email. Thanks for your help and guidance. Through a network of contacts, I have retained the services of another Bavarian, Mr. Santa Klaus. It was like Christmas came early. He is much better. I tried to call Dr. Nico, all I get is your call cannot be completed as dialed. I don't know, it may be me or something. He sent me an email advising that the Western Union should be sent to MRS.LINDA VAN DIJK but gave no other information. How am I supposed to send something with out an address? The folks at Western Union looked at me like I was some kind of idiot. You know what, I have made tens of millions from the sale of my carp farm in Japan, and I was able to get financing for my oceanside casino in North Dakota from a private group of investors here in the US. We estimate that in the first year, we will make enough funds to pay for the project. (approximately $42 million US) Thus, every dollar made in 2005 is pure profit, and we estimate that between $32 to $35 million. So, I don't need your money. Mr. Klaus advised me that it is hard to cover this kind of jack from taxes anyway in Germany, and I would rather not deal with it. However, once you successfully liquidate your account, you are welcome to stay at the resort for free for a week on me. Just make sure you bring your millions to our casino, we will give you a VIP status. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused, and again wish you well in future endeavors. Sincerely, The Count CEO Pendejo Builders, Inc THE COUNTSent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 3:53 PMTo: 'nico ovewnij' Subject: RE: Hey Nico-- Where should the Western Union be sent? The Netherlands or Nigeria? There are Western Union surcharges and I need to know. Why are you such a pain to work with? NICO OVEWNIJSent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 2:49 AMTo: The Count Subject: RE: DEAR SIR, I RECIEVE YOUR MASSAGE BUT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM, HER FULL NAME IS LINDA SMITH VAN DIJK,SHE ALSO PICK MONEY WITH THAT NAME SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PAYMENT SO WE CAN CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION. BEST REGARDS DR.NICO OVERWIJN THE COUNTSent: Monday, July 18, 2003 8:36 AMTo: : 'nico ovewnij' Subject: What the ---- Hey Dr. Nico, You are by the far the dumbest banker in the history of civilization. Your stories change daily and the names are different. It is apparent to me that you and Dr. Ali have the IQ of a pile of rocks. It is obvious that you are either completely full of it, or completely incompetent. So for that, just go away and get a clue. (At this point, I frustrated the hell out of them and thought it was over....but then 2 weeks later....) DR ALI GARUBASent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 6:41 AMTo: The Count Subject: Latest Development, From Dr. Ali Garuba (Nigeria). My dear friend The Count, How are you doing with business? I hope your is well with you, if so glory be to God almighty. I know you would be surprised to hear from me again. Really, I have been trying to make things easy for us so that we can be successful men at the end of the transaction. Yes I really want to conclude this transfer with you because I like your person as a full business man and also an American Citizen. I really want to invest this fund in America that is why I chose you as my partner. I really thank God for his mighty work to this transaction. Now, I want to let you know that, the Funds (US$25.5Million) has called back to the Central Bank of Nigeria through the assistance of my friend who is the Director of Foreign Exchange Control Dept Central Bank of Nigeria. I have spent a lot of money to make sure I finalized this transfer to this stage. Presently, the fund is now with the Central Bank of Nigeria waiting for the immediate transfer in to your nominated bank account. But the only thing, we are to do is just to pay for the Cost of Transfer (COT) before the fund would be wired into your account. The total bill for the COT is 0.25% of the total sum of US$25.5Million, which is only but $125,000.00 to be paid as the Cost of the transfer through the Central Bank. Really my friend, I don't need you to spend any money in this transfer. I am capable to handle my transaction, the only thing I need from you, is to safeguard the fund on my behalf as soon as the fund hit your account. Now, I have a finance company in America who will borrow us the $125,000.00. I have concluded with them. I made them to understand that my partner in America will provide an account where the can pay in the $125,000.00 on my behalf. So what I needed now from you is to provide an account in America where they Finance Company will pay in the fund so that you can withdraw it out, then send it to the Central Bank for the immediate release of the total fund of US$25.5Million in to your account in Germany. So my brother and partner, this is the latest developments now. Please try to get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you and remain blessed for me. Yours friend & partner, Dr. Ali Garuba. THE COUNTSent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 7:36 AM Subject: The truth is out thereDr Ali, What a surprise to hear from you. I had thought that from the series of emails that we sent to each other, you would have figured out that I was a bigger scam artist than you. 1) I listed the Bank of Dummkopf in Berlin as my financial institution. Dummkopf is German for moron. 2) I listed a Trottel Market Management Account. Trottel is German for fool. 3) I listed my Administrative Assistant as a Ms Shania Twain to contact. Shania Twain is a popular musician in the US with several hit songs. 4) The address that I listed for the bank was 419 Dummer Verbrecher Rd. The address 419 is in honor of your Nigerian 419 scam. Dummer Verbrecher is German for stupid criminal. 5) I listed my company as Pendejo Builders. Pendejo is a vulgar slang word in Spanish. 6) My architect Mike Brady was involved. Mike Brady is a fictional TV character from the 1970's. 7) My lawyer in Germany Arnold Schwarzenegger, really annoyed you. Arnold Schwarzenegger is from Germany [Austria! please don't hurt us A.!], but he one of the most popular movie stars in North America, and might run for Governor of California. 8) I mentioned a casino on the ocean coast of North Dakota that I was building. North Dakota is a land locked state approximately 4,000 miles from the ocean in the middle of the US that borders with Canada. 9) I got YOU!!!!!! So you see Dr. Ali or whoever you are, it is time our game is concluded. I cooked your goose. You don't have $25 million. I know it, and you know it. It is over. Now that I have come clean, tell me your story. Were you laid off and can't find work? Are you really from Nigeria? How much do make scamming people? Just curious.... Good day. The Count [If only he hadn't spilled the beans about North Dakota. That was shaping up to be a pretty good ongoing tale.

I especially enjoyed the exchange between "The Count" and Dr. Ali Garuba titled "You have 250 hours to become a dead man." I enjoyed it so much that I sent fanmail to Dr. Garuba thanking him for a big laugh. You will find his response below. Enjoy!
