RESPONSE!

Good Morning My Dear Sister Gloria.

I am very much happy as to receive your mail as I am in the hope that you are in good health of today.

My dear I have gone through with your mail, I want you to know that this money we are talking about is not deposited in a bank, but in a security company, yes we need the account but that will be when the trunk box that conten the money is been delievered to you i  your country, then you can take it to the bank and deposite the money.

You said that you have no experience in banking?, you don't need to be worried about it, before I contacted you I have plan very well on how the consignment will be deliver to your without any hitch, now I contacted the security company office here in Abidjan this morning after reading your message and explain to them to know how they can deliver the consignment to you in your country, so they told me that they are going to use their Diplomatic immunity so that when the consignment is coming on it's way no one will search or inspect the consignment, also that they need to obtain change of ownership on your name.

So I will like if you can contact the security company so that you talk to them as well as to know the next step so I hope that it is better for you to talk to the security company head office here in Abidjan, as I have also talk to them they said that they will like to hear from you so I am giving you their contact information so that you will contact them and discuss with them on how they will deliver the consignment to you without any delay or inspection from customs as well.

As I have earlier informed that the security company does not know that the consignment contents are money so try to keep it with your self alone, what the company knows is Family Valuable not as money because my late father did register it as a family valuable to avoid rising of eyebrow from the security company. So below is the security company contact.

Company Name; IMPEX ASSETS TRUST SECURITY  COMPANY(C.I)
Address; ave/12 no 14/ cocdy abidjan Cote'd Ivoire
EMAIL ADDRES:
impexassets-security-company@laposte.net ;
CONTACT PERSON:
Dr. Steven Williams.
Telephone/ fax,00225-019-330-38
stevanwilliams1961@yahoo.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So try as much as you can to contact them and ask them what it will cost them to deliver the consignment to your country without any problem.
please I will also like you to send me your home address and if possible your photo and telephone number for more details.

I will be stopping here until I hear from you soon
Yours sincerely
Esther

There are websites devoted to Nigerian 419 scam baiting. See how far you can take it! The more you can waste the scammer's time, the better.

Keep us updated, as this could get very interesting!

Throw in some good stuff, like, "oh my God, my wife has been kidnapped by a local casino mafia outfit, and I REALLY need this money now, Esther."

I think you should make a reference to some local area and make up a story about it.

Here is some info from Wikipedia about their country...

On one hand the city is hot and humid, congested and full of street hawkers. On the other hand, Abidjan is referred to as the "Paris of West Africa" because of its parks, broad boulevards, universities, exotic fashions and museums. Neighborhoods include Cocody, an upscale residential area located east of the modern business district, and Treichville, located southward on Petit-Bassam Island, with its busy traditional market. Banco National Park lies north of the city.

Make up a story about how your wife bought some fine art from a merchant from there once.

That's the Sylvester Morris House that the Preservation Commission holds in such high regard isn't it..?[}:)]

[Johnboy976]

mmm, yeah. Roby, I'm going to need you to send me 30 grand. If you could do that, that would be great. Okay? Oh... And don't forget to create a cover sheet for those TPS reports.

Dr. Steven's:

I understand you have been contacted by an associate of mine, Esther, in regards to the transfer of a consignment to me in the United States.  We are hoping to achieve this transfer as soon as possible and must avoid any and all delays.

I have been instructed to contact you to receive further instructions on facilitating this transaction.  I am trying to help a friend out and would really appreciate any assistance you can provide.  I don;t really have any experience with this sort of thing and don't have the skill or knowledge to look into it on my own.

I am pleased to be given a contact that hold a doctorates degree.  It is also nice to work with educated people.  May i ask where/what you received your doctorate?  I have some college and was wondering if we share a common background.

Thank you for your assistance.

With God's love,

Gloria

[cannon_fodder]

That was my mistake, I apologize.  I have sent an email to the reference email address.

With Jesus' Love,

Gloria

At this point it should be pointed out all emails are to and from a yahoo account.  The other email address listed is for a French site that provides
"postal services" including email.  

Anyway... now there are two contacts going on.

Dear Estherm

I need help getting the following documents per the Trust Company you put me in touch with.  Clearly I have never been the Ivory Coast nor do I speak French, so it will be difficult for me to get this documentation.

Please help.

Steven:

I'm afraid your caps button seems to be stuck on your computer.  It made the email pretty hard on the eyes.

Anyway,  I am going to need an address to send the requested information to.  I dont think the Untied States issues digital copies of passports.  Information I can provide to you by email:

My address is unlisted in the phone book, so please do not release this information to anyone:
Gloria Lavern Smith
P.O. Box 55845
Boston, MA 02205-5899

I will inquire to my contact to get the appropriate documentation for next of kin status.

Please advise of additional steps I need to take.  I am going to ask my son to help me facilitate this transaction so hopefully that will help speed up the process.

In Gods Love,

Gloria

That's scary. I just looked up the Wikipedia entry on Abidjan, and it has been hacked pretty bad with lots of profanity.

This little tidbit, however, seemed like a legitimate entry:

quote:Because of the Ivorian Civil War, insecurity in Abidjan has risen, with some riots targeting foreigners as well as a sharp increase in criminality. Once one of the wealthiest and most peaceful cities in Africa, Abidjan is now considered one of the most dangerous cities on the continent.

Good Lord, and they want you to fly there in person! This is all good fun reading this baiting effort of yours, but everyone should keep in mind that the person on the other end of the keyboard over there is obviously a very dangerous individual.

If they work all day and bulk message people all over the internet, then eventually they will hook some poor sap, perhaps an internet noob, and God knows what would happen if someone actually followed through with this.

Entertaining, yet scary, if you know what I mean.
