DUTCH TREAT: SCAM LETTERS ARE NO WAY TO CURRY FAVOR

wrapped up(?) Oct. 22

From a Kindly Contributor in the Netherlands:
Recently, this came in by mail. He claims to be from Zimbabwe, living in Spain, but his IP address is 217.78.76.162 and that belongs to an ISP from Lagos, Nigeria. Genuine proof we're dealing with one of the Lads!

Attn: Sir/Madam

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me 
personally, but I am sorry if I have intruded on your privacy.
I am Mr Ernest Mbendi NKALLA, the first son of NDLOVU NKALLA ,the most popular 
black farmer in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my 
country.

I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.Before 
the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of 
US18.5 million (Eighteen million, Five Hundred United States dollars), in one 
of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe 
this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from 
security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and 
chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland.

 This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced 
a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few 
black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean 
war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were 
killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the 
victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe 
for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the ( Spain) where we are 
seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's 
money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Spain prohibits a 
refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any 
financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Spain, As the eldest 
son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine 
foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge 
of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South 
African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the
dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going 
through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political 
history.

As a businessman, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future 
and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction 
is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do 
for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the 
consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here
in the Spain as i have already given directives for the consignment to be 
brought to the Spain from South Africa.But before then all modalities will 
have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more 
importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for 
you.

Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating 
your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for 
the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the 
option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 10% of this 
money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. 
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money 
while the remaining 70% will be for my investment in your country. 

I really want to rest your mind on the fact that this is a very legal course 
and it's to be faced with the utmost urgency it demands. I will like you to 
provide me with more information e.g your full name, address,occupation, etc 
about yourself as you know this is a very high responsibility I am about 
reposing on you. I really want an assurance from you as I have one time  
dealt with a fellow that was totally insincere with me and I dont want to 
fall prey.

Please, keep this as secretive as possible.

This time, I made up another fake personality. I know a few words in exotic languages and Internet helps to fill in the blanks. Enter Dr. Hiro Pakmesakkie from Jakarta, Indonesia! (*cheers*). "Hiro Pakmesakkie" sounds something like "here, grab my nuts" in Dutch and Afrikaans (which they speak in South Africa). I keep on calling him "tuan hitam", which means something like "black man" in Indonesian language. To make things look more genuine, I made a lot of grammatical errors. Furthermore, Indonesia is a corrupt country where bank employees might have pocketsful of money. Enough to make it all sound very real to an average Lad.

Of course I nagged every e-mail address the Lads use to the respective providers:

    Dear Friend,
   
    How are you doing there? I hope you are fine. I am happy to have heard
    from you and I will only be very happy if you are the honest type because
    this is a big responsibility I am about reposing on you.
    The consignment is  cash, which is sealed in a silver box and  I need you
    to help me clear or transfer the fund to any of your nominated bank
    account, but this depends on you, the money is not in a bank but in a
    security company, so you need to open an account in Spain were this money
    will be paid to, and you know it is very huge, your account here must be
    strong enough to carry such amount of moneyor instead, the Security
    Company will advise on how to open an account which gives you the right
    to withdraw money from any part of the world.
   
    I am under Political Assylum, I dont want the  Spanish Goverment to know
    that I have such amount of money because it is dangerous, that can lead
    me and my family to repatriation to Harare, hence all the fund will be
    under your care.
   
    I do expect you to come to madrid very soon. I do hope you understand all
    the details here, and be free to seek more clarification if any by 
    reaching me.
   
    Thanks and God  bless.
   
    Ernest Nkalla.

  Dr. Pakmesakkie:

Tuan hitam Nkalla!

Not worry about responsibility, trust my middle name. I deal with money most 
confidential, it my living.
Thank you for offer come to Spain. But many people there asking questions. 
Orang Indonesia dealing with orang hitam look suspiscion. You told earlier 
mail, cash in South Africa? Why not go there. Many orang hitam and orang 
Indonesia already live there, no need for worry. Easier doing business for me 
also. Heard from business relatives, they establish good business 
relationships with South Africa. I never there, but no problem going.

Slamat,

Do not talk about big money, please. Better contact e-mail, is safe.

Note: Above telephone numbers are from the Bank of Indonesia and a karaoke bar in downtown Jakarta respectively. And I picked some rude words to ask for, so the lads will definitely waste money when trying to call from Nigeria to Indonesia. How much would that cost them? $2 a minute? Muhahahahahahah!

    Attn: Dr. Hiro Pakmesakkie
   
    I have tried calling you immediately on the numbers you gave to me, but
    it was not going through, I will keep on trying anyway.  But I will
    really want to know your capacity to handle this for me.
    If you are willing to help, I will like to give you the contacts of the
    Security Company (Europe Credit Commision (ECC) )so you can make
    arrnagement with them on when you are likely to meet with them because I
    will like you coming down and disscuss the matter with them.
    I would like if this transaction will be handled by you than your
    company, cause I am a liitle bit afraid, so that one of your worker might
    disclose it to somebody who will expose me to my country Government. I am
    still under political assylum in Malaga and by next week they are going
    to transfer me and my family to Valencia another part of Spain, and I am
    not free to travel out of my assylum base for this reason
   
    I would like you to communicate directly with the Security Company where
    this fund is deposited, but before that you will have to tell me where
    you are going to invest the fund, and you will make arrangments on where
    you can purchase a residential house for me and my Family, because i
    cannot live in Spain, I want to move from here to a different place, but
    my problem is that i have no passport, I only have the assylum card which
    is not allowed to travel out with, and that is why I want you to act very
    fast if indeed you want to help me, the Security Company in Madrid does
    not know the content of the two silver boxes, I told them that is germ
    stone/Family treasure, so that the demurage will not be so much, all the
    money I have, I paid it to them as a deposit and i told them that i will
    pay the rest when my foriegn partner who is the owner of the consignment
    comes to clear it from them.
    So please tell me the steps we are going to take before they find out
    what is in the boxes, because that is the only thing left for the Family,
    our friends have deserted us, President Mugabe killed my Father and
    seized all our properties in Harare Zimbabwe just because my Father is a
    Friend of the white Farmers.
   
    So for this reason, it is very important you disclose your activity to me
    more, so that we can proceed.
   
    I look forward to your prompt response.
   
    Regards.
   
    Mr Ernest Nkalla.

  Tuan hitam, how is weather in Malaga? Here wet monsoon with thunderstorm.

Telepon system unreliable during thunderstorm, sometimes wrong connected. Try 
often and do not forget dial international number and 62 for Indonesia. When 
outside office hour, can try Telkomsel number 0811-878020 but I not carry 
handphone always, most time wife has phone.

Told you before, confidential guaranteed. I will handle matter personally, 
other people not involved. Even wife not know. Best confidential through 
e-mail, so please have security company mail me.

Investment in fund, should not discuss before meet. Not hurry, no good for 
business. Trust must grow. I need from you proof also you can reach money. 
Please send document by e-mail.

Meanwhile, you think about where you want to have house. Here in Indonesia? 
Not good for tuan hitam. Country in Europe? Country in Africa? You decision. 
You money I invest. You not worry.

Slamat,

DR. HIRO PAKMESAKKIE

    Dear Dr. Hiro,
   
    It's so hard getting through to your phone from here. But I am happy to
    hear from you once again. Please we really have to get started because
    the longer the money remains with them, the higher the demurrage, I will
    have to pay to clear.
    I have spent a lot of money getting the money transferred from South
    Africa to Spain and at the moment, I'm expected to pay a minor fee to
    clear the consignment containing the money.
    You should try and reach me on 34-676377982 as I will continue trying to
    call you.
    I would prefer you coming down and disscuss the matter with Europe Credit

  Pakmesakkie:
>>>
Tuan hitam, don't waste time. I tried phone number in Spain you suggested, got 
message phone not reached (I think, because Spanish I do not speak). Is very 
hard for me to get international connection, cannot try all time.

Where do you want me to travel? Flight to Spain very expensive and takes long 
time. No direct flight to Spain, must take jumbo jet to Amsterdam or Frankfurt 
first, then take small jet to Spain. Many airports in Spain, don't know which.

I can be trust. Only you and I know about plan. Even wife does not know, will 
tell her I go Europe for business, will tell work I go for holiday. My job is 
normally at bank of Indonesia, I invest for people who want invest safe 
without ask questions, in real estate, stock options and other such what not. 
Country is corrupt, many people pay bribe to get things done. I must always 
check origin of money I invest, however, I look other way when pocket fills 
with money. Everybody happy, because big money invested safely and I have good 
salary this way. I know thousands of ways to make sure your money grow. I only 
ask small fee, your 20% sounds just about right.

Question now, how we meet, when and where?

    know the content of the boxes, please reply this mail so that we can work

    they law in spain does not permit me to travel out of my base, and I dont
    want the authorities to know that i deosited some fund in spain.
   
    I want you to know that I will like you to keep accurate records of your
    expenses (including travelling expenses to Spain) partaining to this
    transaction as I'm doing so too so that we will be able to reconcile the

for Indonesia. I know call to Indonesia is expensive, also I am busy man 
today, have no access to international telepon. Please use mail, is secure and 
cheap, no co-workers or wife listening. Details we can discuss when meet.

Now I wait for instructions your side. What you want me to do? Your mail 
confuse me, time to make thing clear.

Proposal: I pay airline ticket, I travel Spain, I make untracable investment 
plan, I pay consignment fee and take cost incurred from box. No need to worry 
from you - I bring money, we make business deal, we share and invest money as 
agreed, both happy. You tell me details, I provide solution.

    Hello Mr Hiro,
   
    I had a hell of time calling your line today, once a woman picked the
    phone and the way she attended to me was very bad and I have been very
    discouraged calling back. I really want to appreciate your concern over
    me and my family, I told my wife about your offer to help us out and
    together we have been waiting to hear from you since we cant get you
    through phone. I'm really very sure that God will see us through as we
    are in the final level of this issues. Amen
   
    I would like you to tell me when you will  be chanced to come to Madrid,
    Spain to conclude this business cause the consignment has stayed too long
    a time with them and I dont want the demmurage to go higher than it's
    now, and the security of the boxes is so important to me because the
    security company does not know the content of the boxes  told you before,
    if you want, I will make available the name of the security comapany,
    thier contact addresses and the telephone contacts, thats is if you want,
    so please reply this mail so that we can conclude this very fast, my
    assylum life and that of my wife and two kids has been terrible and I
    want to get this money secured fast before I plan how to relocate.
   
    What is needed at this juncture is for you to get the demurrage fee ready
    as well as you booking a flight ticket to Madrid and inform me about the
    flight schedule so arrangements could be made ahead of your arrival here.
    Please, I know I just have to do this, but I'm trusting you to please
    when this money gets to your custody, be sincere enough to take just what
    belongs to you as well as the expenses you may incurr and keep my share
    for me as the life of my family now depends on it.
     
    Recently again, Mr Mugabe have confiscate more properties
    my father has and one of our account worth $6,000,000 has been
    frozen, and they killed my father, that is why we run away from
    zimbabwe for the sake of our lives.
   
    So please help and you will know us after we conclude this business.
   
    Thank you once again and God bless you.

Please tuan hitam Nkalla, do not use telepon. You probably spoken to wife, she 
very rude often. Apologies, do not worry, not you fault.

Please see foto attached, for better aquiantance. I have today obtained false 
Belanda passport on black market for sekurit reason. Obtaining visa for Spain 
otherwise take long time, this is fastest way to go, orang Belanda allowed 
into Europe without visa. My travel name be "HIRO DEPUTTA", which on passport. 
Please provide me foto of you, with sign holding my travel name, in order to 
recognise you upon arrival Spain.

I prepare well. Nobody know actual reason for trip, nor by bank, who think I 
am going holiday, nor by wife, who think I am going business trip. Passport 
cost me 10,000,000 Rupiah, which I deduct (1 US$ approx. 10,000 Rupiah). 
Airline ticket is around 40,000,000 Rupiah, no flight schedule known yet, 
plane very busy. How much cash I need for paying demurrage? Getting foreign 
currency very hard here, must deal on black market also.

Hope hear soon. Slamat!

DR. HIRO PAKMESAKKIE

Now hope tuan hitam Nkalla will buy I am using Belanda (Dutch) passport with Spanish insult. Will he wait at Madrid airport, holding a sign that make passing Spanish speaking people laugh loud? Will he make "mugu" out of himself? Dr. Pakmesakkie will keep you posted!

Hello Mr Hiro,

Thanks very much for your mail, meanwhile I understood that you have made
all the arrangments regarding your coming to Spain, well regarding my
photo which you asked for, I will mail it to you after but, remember that
you will represent me in the Security Company where the fund is
deposited, because  I am under Political Assylum, I am not allowed to
travel out of my base until my assylum is fully granted.

I would give you the contact address and name of the person whom is going
to release the boxes for you whenever you come to Madrid, then after you
finalise with them and I would give you the direction on and how you can
come and see me.
The demmurage for this consignment is 23,450 Euros which you will come up
with, and clear the consignment.

Please may I ask you how you are going to move with the boxes to Indonesia??

Regards.

Mr Nkalla.

WOW! 23,450 Euro! This is surely a greedy Lad! This is what I answered:

This is of course dangerous for the Lad, a potential victim who isn't as helpless in a foreign country as he thought.

Hello Mr Hiro,

Many thanks for your mail, I and my family are very happy that our
problem is coming to an end, we expect your arrival in madrid saftly, and
God will guide your flight to Madrid without any problem.

I had contacted the Security Company in Madrid this morning on receiving
your mail informing them that my foreign partner will be arriving  17th
on thursday, that they should be ready to release the consignment  same
day, and they told me that they are expecting you.

So as  understood in your mail,you wanted to know who will pick you up at
the airport, and your arrival time is 9.35am and the office is not open
before that time, and moreover, the Security Company told me that I
should forward to them your full name in the passport,
so that they will make reservation for you near the airport, which is
very close to their office, that is where their clients do lodge,  for
security reason. so when you arrive you will go straight to the hotel and
after that, the company's  Protocol Officer will come and pick you there.
They also told me that for security reasons that only you will be
attended to, no other person will be allowed into the security office or
saferoom,and you must strictly abide by this conditions.

I will want you to be very friendly with them as they will be of great
help to us afterwards

Please send down the name and I look forward in building a stong partner
with you in future.

Thanks.


Mr Nkalla.

Yeah, right! This is the very trap - the victim will be led to a remote place by the "Protocol Officer", who is just another Lad. Then, if he's lucky, he only has to pay the "demurrage". Less lucky victims can't tell the tale. I really hate these bastards.

Tuan hitam Nkalla!

Full name in the passport is "HIRO DEPUTTA" (pronounced in English "heegho 
duh'puttah"). I still need photo of person picking me up at airport.

All is ready now. Hope plane not delay, many tourist flee Indonesia now after 
Bali bombing.

Hello Dr Hiro,

The Reservation for the hotel has been made, and the
name of the hotel and addres are belows.

HOTEL TRYP BARAJAS.
AVENIDA LOGRONO NO 305
MADRID. SPAIN
TEL: 917-4777.OO.

So as i told you before, as soon as you arrive in Madrid, you call me on
my number, 0034-690-104-176. Go straight to the hotel and they company's
Protocol Officer will come and pick you up, because by the time you will
be in Madrid  the office may not be open at
that time, so the photo you are asking is not important, hence no one
will be at the airport for you.

Regards.

Mr Nkalla.

The phone number is a Spanish cellphone number, the hotel does exist and is indeed located near the airport. I didn't show up of course ;-) I gave the Lad a last kick in the butt, but never heard from him again, so I guess he figured out I wasn't real. The phone number is from the U.S. Embassy.

Tuan Nkalla!

I went to hotel Barajas, nobody know me there! I waited for Protocol officer, 
nobody show up! I tried to call your number, nobody answer!

I am in a Madrid internet cafe now and talking to a local computer geek, he 
tell me about scam artists from Nigeria. He say you real name is Mugu and 
your story about political asylum is a fraud. He look at your mail, say you 
are lad from Lagos, you never was in Spain, only your henchmen. There ain't 
no gem stone, there is only money to steal from me, he told.

Well, Mugu, if that true, I happy I missed you at airport! If not, call me in 
hotel at 91587-2200.

Tabeh!

DR. HIRO PAKMESAKKIE

That's it for Pakmesakkie vs. Nkalla, stay tuned for more Lads whose time is being wasted!
