YORKIE JERKY

A hearty scam-o-welcome back to Gene Rayburn, last seen in A STAR ISN'T BORN, in which Universal Studios Lagos cruelly toyed with Gene's hopes for movie stardom, and A PERFECT MATCH, a gripping tale of venture capital in the realm of teleportation. Here, the Lads offer a puppy for adoption. His probable fate as puppy chow doesn't seem to disturb them.

Cast, in order of appearance:

REV. BILL LONG: Lad disposing of puppy
who (through lack of Lad quality control, combined with hasty backing and filling on their part) becomes
REV. COLLIN OAKLEY: Rev. Long's 'wife' (and alter ego)

versus
GENE RAYBURN: background co-ordinator
JOHN SLUGGO: His mean boss

Featuring cute puppy pic, scammer chat transcript, and Yorkie Jerky package design by Gene Rayburn

Hello,

I'm so glad you wrote to me regarding your puppy. Can you please give me some more information:

1) What is the total weight of the dog?
2) Is it a male or female?
3) What is the puppy's name?
4) What have you been feeding him/her?

I have some more questions, but please respond as soon as you can. I believe I can help you.

Sincerely,
Gene

Hello!

What an adorable pooch! All of the information you provided sounds great. However, you failed to answer one of my questions, which is quite crucial to my expectations. I refer to question #4. Please answer it at once.

I want you to be assured that I will take care of your baby to the extent she deserves. I have some very specific plans, which I can go into with you later, but I can tell you that they are perfectly christian.

Also, please tell me more about your mission. Are you spreading the word? What religion are most of the people there, and how are they receiving your gospel? I really admire the work you do, and might be able to help out. I've always been a strong supporter of the cause.

Hello Again,

Thanks for the answer. That is very good. I was wondering if you could feed her some meat in the few days before you ship her my way. I mean real meat with some nice amount of marbling on it? She will need to be well fed for the flight.

Can you give me a bit more information about how the shipping will work? Will you be using FedEx?

Here is the contact information:

Full Name: Gene Cornelius Rayburn
Contact Address: 810 Virginia St., Seattle, WA 98101

I'm so sorry that you are unable to care for Katti, but your loss is my gain. I have a very large home where Katti can run free. We have been blessed by the great success of our specialty jerky business. It's amazing what a dehydrator and some packaging materials and the finest quality exotic meats can do.

Please let me know about the shipping, whether you'll be able to find some heartier food for Katti, and more about the local people there. What is their religion before you convert them?

also thanks for the contact information where the puppy will be delivery <snipped>

regarding the peoples over there most of them are idol worshiper and Muslim i have converted more than 100 of them and they have been attending church services since then .

Thank you for the info. I have no problem paying for the shipping. But I will need to see the paperwork you mentioned in your original e-mail before I spend any money. Can you please scan the records (medical, etc.) and e-mail them to me as soon as possible?

Great job on the conversions.

Dear Collin,

In an earlier e-mail you said that you are Bill's wife, but are you a reverend too?

I'm sure it's not a scam or anything, but I really need to know that the dog is disease free. We've had some problems in the past with animals we have "adopted" and some diseases that were passed on to our distributors (even through the shrink-wrap).

If you don't have a scanner, do you have a fax machine?

Thanks,
Gene
Rev. Bill Long/Collin Oakley

hello
thanks for the reply yes i m a reverend too also i want you to know that she is free from any form of diseases .no i do not have a fax machine but i will try to ask one of our member he have some one that have if so that i can fax all the informations to you .

also i want to know if you have more questions to ask about her.

Collin,

That's great news. I'm sure that one of your flock will help you out. Once I receive the paperwork, I'll be ready to go. I've already started preparing my facility, including the kitchen where she will be naturally be spending the balance of her time.

Another alternative to a fax machine would be to take a photograph of the paperwork and e-mail them to me like you e-mailed the pictures of the dog.

I hope that you've already started feeding her a meat-rich diet in anticipation of getting this going?

Thanks,
Gene

thanks for the reply . we could not see any one here with a fax machine , the one we could have used was faulty .i dont think there is any other option i can used i do promise you that you will have all the paper work be i trust in God and nothing else .

so get back to me if there something you can work out
Gene Rayburn
Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2007

Dearest Collin,

I am very sorry to hear that. It is crucial that I get that paperwork. Where exactly are you located?

Another thing you could do (as I mentioned before) would be to use the same camera you used to take the pictures of Katti to take a picture of the documents, then send me the digital picture. I assume that the papers were made by a vet there in Africa, and is handwritten?

Please get back to me soon. We are really working hard to get everything ready here, and our distributors are insisting on seeing *some* paperwork, even if it's just scribbled on a local piece of African paperwork with a seal on it.

I trust you perfectly well. It's just the distributors...I can't control them.

Thanks,
Gene

Bill,

I am going to be at the bank today, so it would be the best day to get this resolved. I am worried that I have not heard from you. Is Katti alright? Also, I have an idea to use your name on our packaging ("Approved by Reverend Bill Long").

I would be able to pay you something to allow me to use your name, of course. Can you tell me what you would charge me for that?

I would really like to get this transaction done today (for the dog's sake). And the folks here really want a puppy, not a full-grown dog. They are very excited about the markup involved. Every day we wait could ruin our plans.

Please get back to me.

await to read from you so that i can contact the shipper to pick her up for the delivery .

email me now

[Note that in the next e-mail, I took the questions from a real veterinary form, but added my own few questions at the end (in green)]

Gene Rayburn
Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2007

Hello Collin/Bill,

I think I confused you. I don't want to use your name on the shipping package. I want to use your (Bill's) name on one of our processed exotic meat packages. It just adds some credibility to it to have approval from a Reverend of your caliber. You just need to let me know how much you want me to pay you for that. I cannot go over $2000 US, but I can send it to you at the same time as the money for the shipping if you want. Please let me know soon, because I am going to the bank today.

I understand that you are unable to provide a veterinarian form. Here's what we should do. I got a template for a form from a local vet. If you just send me the answers to these questions, I can fill it in and sign on your vet's behalf. The distributors won't know the difference.

Here are the questions on the form, please fill them out as best you can.

How is your dog's attitude: (Happy-active-normal, depressed-lethargic, other)
Is your dog drinking (normally, more, less than usual)

Do you notice any of the following:
Limping?
Eye discharge?
Nasal discharge?
Sneezing?
Coughing?
Shaking head?
Scooting?
Scratching?
Vomiting?
Diarrhea?
Lumps?
Bad breath often?
Weight loss?
Lethargy/Weakness?
Seizures?
Hair Loss?
Pain or Straining when urinating/defecating?

If yes, date:
Canine distemper?
If yes, date:

Has your dog been dewormed in the last 12 months?
If yes, date:

Flea and tick preventatives:

Please measure and provide the length (in centimeters) of the gizzard:

If male, circumference of testicles (if not neutered):
If female, are the tits currently producing milk?

Has the animal mated with another animal, as far as you know?
If yes, was it within the same breed?
If not the same breed, was it within the same species?

Current medication and allergies:



Thanks again for going through this with me. It will make my distributors happy, and I'll make a photocopy of it and pretend it was scanned.

Dear Collin,

Thank you. You left out some questions, which I have reiterated in the bottom of this e-mail. You must answer them, so that I know what to put down.

Also, you still seem to be confused about the use of Bill's name, and what you will charge me for that. I have no problem paying the $550 for shipping the dog, but I need to know what you are going to charge me to be able to use his name on the jerky packaging, and whether or not it is okay for me to send that money to the shipper as well. I have attached our graphic arts department's rendering of what the packaging will look like for your approval and for you to provide me with a price as soon as possible, so that I can send it all through western union today.

Let me make it easier for you -

I, Collin Oakley have viewed the attached JPG file and approve of the packaging, and the use of the canine for providing the materials required for what goes in the packaging. In return, I request $______ as a license fee in compensation for the use of Reverend Bill Long's name.

Also, here are the questions you missed:

Pet name:
How is your dog's attitude: (Happy-active-normal, depressed-lethargic, other)
Please measure and provide the length (in centimeters) of the gizzard:

Thanks very much. I'm really glad that you don't have any problems with the use of dear Katti to bring gastronomic joy to our most loyal customers. Some of the clergy here in the US have difficulty with our ways, but it's good to hear that you know what's right in the world.

I can send you the file in a different format if you want (PDF, GIF, TIF, BMP, or whatever you want). Please let me know what you can read. It is critical that you tell me the photo is okay, and especially that Bill Long feels it is okay to kill the dog when it gets here. Can you assure me that he will be okay with that? I can't send the money until you confirm that it's okay to kill the dog and that the picture of the bag meets with his approval.

[It seems I'm not getting through here. He's sent the western union "money script" again.
I logged in to GMail on 10/4/07 at 2:15pm and saw Bill Long on GMail chat, so I decided to confront him:

[2:15 PM]
me: Are you a scammer?

[2:17 PM]
bill: no
i sent all the informations needed
so if you will it up to you

me: No, you still haven't sent the answer to the important request. Is this Bill or Collin?

[2:18 PM]
bill: bill
me: I need confirmation that it is okay to kill the dog when it gets here in order to use the meat in our packages for exotic jerky.

[2:19 PM]
bill: why will you kill my puppy
me: Collin said it will be fine.
I run a company that makes specialty meats and dehydrates them.
Our customers pay a lot of money for puppy meat.
If this is not okay, please let me know. I have not gone to western union yet.
I can't believe that Collin hasn't told you any of this. She told me that she has been in contact with you.

bill: ok kill her

[2:22 PM] me: Okay, thank you. I just needed your approval.
Now, all I need to do is tell the distributors. They've asked to see the medical records, which I have filled in based on Collin's answers to the medical questions. Then I will go to western union with the details Collin sent me.


[2:23 PM] bill: ok
no problen
no problem

me: Thank you for your kindness. And thanks for the great work you are doing out there.

[2:24 PM]
bill: om will the payment be sent today

[2:25 PM]
me: That is my plan. I just needed to hear that you approved the killing, and now I will bring the medical documents I made up to the distributors. They will give me the okay and I will go straight to western union from the distributors. I will send an e-mail to you and Collin as soon as I return this afternoon.

[2:26 PM]
bill: ok
me: Do you miss Texas?

[2:27 PM]
bill: yes of course
i will be back by next year

me: That's good. You can get a new dog when you get back.

[2:29 PM]
bill: ok
me: I'm leaving for the distributors' office now. I'll talk to you later.

[2:30 PM]
bill: ok
email me when you are back


Gene Rayburn
Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007

Collin,

I had a nice conversation with Mr. Bill today on Gmail chat. He approved the killing. However, there is a serious problem.

You have made me look like a fool!

I went to my distributers this afternoon, with the medical documents that I have made up based on your answers to the questions, and they were not happy.

I had told them that Katti had been vaccinated and de-wormed, as per your original reply to me:

"My puppy is current on vaccinations and worming with A Year Health Guarantee..."

However, in your responses to the medical questions:

> Has your dog been vaccinated against the following in the last 12 months:
> Rabies?
> If yes, date:NO
> Canine distemper?
> If yes, date:NO
> Lyme disease?
> If yes, date:NO
> Canine cough?
> If yes, date:NO
>
> Has your dog been dewormed in the last 12 months?
> If yes, date: NO

In addition, I filled in the question about shaking head with a "YES" answer, as you did in your responses. Apparently, this is a very bad sign of infection, and I believe Katti is sick.

> Shaking head? YES

They were so angry with me that the owner of the distributer (Mr. Sluggo) hit me over the head with a hammer.

Please ask Mr. Bill to take Katti to the vet and have those vaccinations done immediately. Also, have the vet look at the shaking head syndrome to rule out any other illness.

Once you have told me that you have had the vaccinations done and ruled out the shaking head disease, I will make up a new document and show it to Sluggo. He will then approve the sending of the money for the shipping.

Please don't make me look foolish again. We need to get this going, as I have many customers who are waiting for this to get resolved.

Dear Mr. Bill,

You nearly got me bludgeoned again with a ball-peen hammer. When I was on my way to Sluggo this morning, I had a look at the newly faked medical certificate I made up, when I noticed that I had put in "YES" under the part that asks for the dates of the vaccinations. You did not give me those dates!

Please, it is very important that the puppy get shipped so that she still a puppy by the time she gets here! Stop playing games with me.

Give me the dates of the vaccinations as soon as possible.

Also, can you tell me when her head stopped shaking?

Dear Mr. Bill,

I am John Sluggo, the owner of the distribution company that handles Gene Rayburn's exotic beef jerky business.

Please do not tell Gene that I contacted you directly. I think that he may be forging certain documents that he has been showing me regarding a puppy that you are meant to be sending to him, for use in providing meat for a new line of "Yorky Jerky" he is producing.

We have several customers who are very interested in this product line. I need to know several things:

1) Did you deliver the veterinary medical certificate that Bill delivered to us? He told us that your veterinarian filled it out, but he has now delivered it to us twice, with an extraordinarily quick turnaround for a veterinarian in Africa, and the fields and dates keep changing. I just need to confirm with you that your veterinarian filled it out.

2) Are you satisfied with your dealings with Gene? We have had some problems with him in the past, and have needed to resort in corporal punishment in order to bring him in line.

3) Would you be interested in dealing with Sluggo directly? I can probably offer you a much better price than Rayburn.

Again, please do not tell Gene we corresponded. Our mutual friend Mr. Hand is dear to us both, and I wouldn't want any sort of problem.

Sincerely,

Sluggo

Dear Mr. Bill,

I'm glad to hear that you will work with me. Let's cut Gene out of the deal this time. He told me you are charging him $2000 for the pup. I will pay $3000. Let me know, and please don't tell him.

The good news is that I went to western union. The bad news is that I was unable to send the money. The people there told me that I shouldn't send you money, because you are in Nigeria? They said that it was probably a scam. I explained to them that it is not a scam, and I explained to them that you are just sending me a puppy to take care of. I even showed them pictures of the puppy! Still, they suggested I never talk to you again.

I know this is not a scam, so I'm trying to figure out what to do. Do you have any means other than western union that we could use? I didn't like being accused by them.

After western union, I went to see Sluggo, and he asked me put the shipment on hold :-(

It was very suspicious. I do not know why he suddenly had a change of heart. Can you think of any reason? Anyway, he's asked for three days for his board of directors to decide.

I think I should use a different distributor. But the problem with going with M.A.D. as opposed to S.N.L. is that they haven't been around as long, yet they charge more for advertising. So, we can wait 3 days for Sluggo at SNL, or we can go with MAD right away. If we go with MAD, I cannot send you all $700. I can only send $250.

Please tell me what you want to do.

Dear Mr. Bill,

Please explain your message. You say you would not like to cut Gene out. If we leave him in, you won't be getting any money from me, so I don't know why you are asking me for money. You will need to deal with Gene. If you do want to cut him out, I will send you money. What is it going to be?

Dear Mr. Bill,

I am fascinated by your liquid nitrogen shaving cream! Please tell me more. There may be opportunity for us to make some serious money with this unique product.

Awaiting your reply,

hello

thanks for the reply this things you can do with liquid nitrogen shaving cream
Get a pot of boiling water and pour some nitrogen in it. You will watch the mists of hell shrouding the floor. It's good fun to test how long you can stand sticking a finger into it - a cool feeling also you can get a strong magnet and a superconductor that works at LN temps, cool the superconductor and the magnet will levitate

Dear Reverend Bill,

I've just returned from the hospital! I received a call from Mr. Hand to tell me that Mr. Sluggo had a horrific accident. I immediately rushed to the hospital to find that Mr. Sluggo had lost a finger in a liquid nitrogen accident. According to Sluggo, you sent him an e-mail suggesting he put his finger into a vat of liquid nitrogen??? He left it in there for 10 minutes, and upon removal he attempted to dry his hand and the finger came right off.

He is in excrutiating agony, and not very happy with you. In addition, he told me that you are actually in the process of trying to betray me and dealing directly with SNL? I thought we were best of friends. For a Reverend, this is quite sneaky work of you. I am beside myself.

If I were you, I would keep an eye out for sluggo or his thugs. They are a mean bunch. Obviously, neither of us will be doing business with you, unless you can provide me with a good reason for doing so.

There is a silver lining, though. The ambulance was able to recover and preserve the finger. (See below)

Sincerely,

Gene
