A Kindly Contributor teaches the Lads to practice safe computing. Note the absolute lack of feeling with which the Lads greet "Louise"'s tale of being searched at the airport or having to borrow her nephew's money to pay the Lad's fees. Note their lack of response after apparently downloading a nasty virus. Finally note the Lads' latest fake company, "Eurolite BV".

Following are all the email correspondences I've had with a Nigerian Scamster
along with my notes and observations. Please feel free to publish or use in
any way. Note that I am not attaching any of the fake documents and pictures
that I received, rather, I have posted them on a website as linked appropriately.
I am not particularly attached to the Louise Rockford
"nom de scam" so I don't really care if that is made public either. Note that the
punchline is a "nasty" little executable which was linked on this front website,
however, just so that it doesn't get out there I have removed the file itself
from the place where it used to be.
[ It starts with a scammy letter to a friend of "Louise" Louise wasn't clearly thinking humour. Louise was just thinking about getting to the "punchline" as soon as possible - which would be the delivery of something nasty ]

A copy of your international Passport identity (To identify that you) 4. $16,300 (Sixteen thousand Three hundred USD) to cover the demurrage, which has accrude over a period of I year and more. The problem now is how to come up with the $16,300 as you are aware my family is financially handicap and I have spent through my nose to get to this stage. I went an extral mile to even nogotiate with them if they can allow you to secure the consignment before payment of the $16,300 , but I was categorically told that it is not possible, due to the fact that the consignment is bond by one invoice, therefore, cannot broken domicile, also that the Consignment is covered by an insurance policy (international guarantee bond), suffix to say that it is only you the beneficiary that can tamper with the consignment or rather terminate the insurance policy, after you have signed for collection. My dear friend, this a problem which I need your urgent assistance on and if I must say here, it was never our intension to ask you for any financial assistance.

To assist you in opening an account with HSBC Bank or ABN Ambro Bank both of Amsterdam, where you can lodge in the funds, before transfering in bits to your account. Also he is making travelling arrangments for Saturday, so that he will be able to meet you at the airport. So what do you think or what is your opinion. I await your urgent response. Remain bless, Kevin NB: please furnish me with your confidential telephone number so that I can give you a call. From Louise Rockford Dear Kevin, Thank you for your quick response. Yes, your arrangement sounds very good. Since I have never been to the Netherlands before it will certainly be helpful to have someone assist me while I'm there. However, please note that I only arrive in Amsterdam on the morning of Sunday the 25th of August - not Saturday. I look forward to meeting Mr. Kennedy and hopefully we can clear the consignment by Monday. I have been in touch with Eurolite and they said that they would have someone meet me at a hotel but I think I might be able to stay with a friend's friend and perhaps they can meet me at the friend's house. I am currently on the road, travelling in Iowa to complete some fundraising efforts for our organization before I leave on Saturday for Amsterdam. Unfortunately I do not have a mobile phone and so there is no good number for you to be able to reach me. I will try to give you a call again tonight when I check into a motel and hopefully we speak in person then. Thank you again for everything, Louise From Louise Rockford Dear Kevin, Since my departure on Saturday is imminent I just wished to hear back from you if I should expect to meet Mr. Kennedy at the airport or not. If I do not meet him at the airport will he still have the keys and can I obtain the keys from him by appointment? Please do let me know at your earliest convenience. I hope you are feeling better and that all is well with you and your family. I am still on the road traveling until Saturday. I was unable to reach you again last night by phone but I think it was because my calling card did not have enough time on it to call your number (it said something like $12 per minute).

Please if you call tell her you want to speak with Raymond Kennedy became she and her husband my friend didn't know my purpose in Holland. Thanks, R.Kennedy. From Louise Rockford Dear Raymond and Kevin, Yesterday I had the worst day of my life and finally, with the help of several Bloody Marys and help from my friend, I've calmed down enough to be able to get back in touch with you. At the Minneapolis airport I was selected for a random check by airport security at the boarding gate. I don't know why but it might be because I was wearing a bright pink dress which I wore only so that it would be easier for Raymond to identify me when I got to Amsterdam. During the security search they found my $17,000 in cash and immediately took me away for detailed interrogation. I was strip-searched and then questioned for three hours about my life, work, and why I was travelling with that much money. It was so humiliating and embarassing. During this whole time I was able to answer most of their questions without revealing either of your names or the fact that I was going to retrieve a consignment from Eurolite. If you have ever been strip-searched and interrogated for several hours you will know how nasty and unpleasant it is. [ Louise Note: Louise, of course, did not go to any airport ] From the airport I called my friend and with her helpthe security personnel finally released me with the money intact. I told them that I carried that much money because I was going to Amsterdam to put a down-payment on a new apartment to share with my new Dutch boyfriend. Needless to say, I did not get on the flight to Amsterdam and I am so jittery and shaken up that I'm not sure I will be able to go to the airport in the near future. However I would still really like to pursue this opportunity since the money will mean so, so much to Conservation Corps and we can save so many endangered Striped Lutefisk with our share of the proceeds. I will contact Eurolite and see what alternative arrangements can be made. I will let you know when I hear from them. In the meantime I apologize for how things turned out and I hope it wasn't a big inconvenience to Raymond to have to be at the airport on Sunday morning. [ Louise Note: Lutefisk indeed! ] Please let me know that everything is okay and ifpossible please say a prayer for my peace of mind. Yours, Louise From Louise Rockford Dear Mr. Baker, I had a very unpleasant experience at Minneapolis airport and as a result I did not travel to Amsterdam. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause relating to the clearing of my consignment. In an earlier email you mentioned that you can ship the consignment to any location. If that is still an option I would like to transfer the clearance fees to you electronically and then you can ship the consignment to my address. I think this would be the best situation. My shipping address is: Louise Rockford XXXX [ Louise Note: The address is of a real funeral home in St. Cloud, MN ] Yours Sincerely, Louise Rockford Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 00:53:38 -0700 (PDT) From: peter@euroliteservicesbv.com Subject: Re: Account Details To: "Louise Rockford" [Louise's e-mail] This is to acknowledge the receipt of your mail.

Yours sincerely, George Baker From Louise Rockford Dear Kevin and Raymond, I am worried that I have not heard from you. Kevin, I am especially worried that I have not heard from you in over a week. Are you okay? I am trying to make alternative arrangements with the Consignment company to clear the consignment but I still need to hear from you about where and when we will meet up. Perhaps we can meet here in the U.S.A.? Please acknowledge receipt of this email. Sincerely, Louise (worried in St.Cloud) From Louise Rockford Dear Mr. Baker, Thank you for your prompt response. Please note that it will take me a few days to raise the additional $1,950 and then I will be in a position to transmit the clearance fees to you. As regards the modality of payment I feel hesitant about using a bank transfer since my bad experience at the airport and in fact I have a feeling that my bank accounts may be monitored. Hence I would prefer to transfer the money using a commercial money transfer agency like Western Union. I would feel that it is safer this way and I think there should be no problem at your end. To that effect please give me the name of a person from your company who will be receiving the money in Amsterdam and I can make arrangements to wire the total amount to that person's name to a Western Union office in Amsterdam. If you prefer I can wire the money to my business partner (Mr. Kennedy) and he will be able to bring the clearance fees to your office. Again, please advise me on the name of the person who will be collecting the transfer from the Western Union office.

From Louise Rockford Dear Raymond, I am really concerned that I haven't heard from either you or Kevin. In fact my last email to Kevin was returned due to a delivery failure. Is everything still okay? Should I still proceed with the transaction with the consignment company? I have to raise $2000 more but when I do I will have enough to send the clearance fees directly to the consignment company and they will be able to ship the consignment directly to me. But I still need to make arrangements with Kevin in order to meet with him and arrange for his investments. I will hold off on concluding the transaction until either you or Kevin gives me the go-ahead. Concerned, Louise From Louise Rockford Dear Raymond, Please ask Kevin to contact me as soon as possible. It still feel like I need to work out the modalities of settling everything once I receive the consignment. I am still feeling uncertain and unsure of everything. Are you sure that Kevin is okay?

Now I am really worried that I still haven't heard from Kevin. I think I am just worried overall because of what happened at the airport. I am fairly certain that someone is monitoring my bank accounts and I suspect that my organization is under surveillance too. I was finally able to raise the $2,000 extra needed to pay the shipping costs of the consignment. My young nephew lent it to me out of his savings and I have promised to pay it back to him tenfold. My nephew has also promised to escort me to the Western Union office whenever I want and that's a little reassuring especially when one is carrying over $18,000 in cash. Please, please have Kevin contact me so that I can proceed and conclude the transaction with the consignment company. I look forward to better days! Your Friend, Louise From Louise Rockford Dear Mr. Smith, Thank you for your clarification regarding the money transfer protocol. I understand and will do as you advise. I apologize for the delay but I am waiting to hear from my sponsor Mr. Kevin Kongolo Sese-Seko before I go ahead and conclude the transaction. May I ask whether you have by any chance heard from him? If you do speak with him please ask him to contact me urgently. I will contact you again once I have initiated the wire transfer. Yours Sincerely, Louise Rockford Conservation Corps From Louise Rockford Dear Raymond, I still haven't heard from Kevin. I am standing by to transmit the clearance fees to the consignment company but in good conscience I don't think I can proceed until I finish making final arrangements with Kevin for the disbursement and investment of the funds.

I will be sending the password in a separate email from a separate email account so that the chances of both these emails being intercepted is very unlikely.

Please refer to the following (419 Scam) pages for more information: 1. www.nigerianscams.org 2. www.scamorama.com 3. http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/ I am very happy to provide you with proof of his doings but I'm sure you can just as well examine his email correspondences and see for yourself. If at all possible I would be interested in obtaining copies of all his correspondences (with full headers) to gain more insight into his methods and to warn the other people he may be trying to scam (I've been leading him on for a while). Or if you don't trust me please forward it all to the Wipe Out Nigerian Scams Team at wonst@nigerianscams.org Sincerely, Louise Rockford From Louise Rockford Dear Brother Kevin, I hope all is well with you. I am glad that everything is going smoothly. It looks like the consignment company had some problems receiving my attachment but I'm hopeful that they have resolved it all by now. I have been through so much trouble to get all the money together - especially since the airlines have not yet refunded me the $2000 cost of the flight to Amsterdam and it also cost me $850 to send the money by Western Union. I am now heavily in debt until the consignment arrives. Yes, I look forward to meeting you and Mauritius sounds like a great idea. Have you ever been to the Seychelles? I hear that those are very nice islands too. As soon as I receive the consignment I will immediately send you $3000. Please give me the address to which I should send the money. My greetings and well-wishes to your beautiful family and your mother Mrs. Sese-Seko. Your Sister, Louise From Louise Rockford Mr Baker, Were you able to collect the money from Western Union? When are you shipping the consignment? My phone number at work is 1-900-267-8888 Ext. 4744 please call me immediately with an update on the status of the consignment.
