419 - Spaß muß sein!

[Fidul]

Etwa vor einem Monat trudelte bei mir eine dieser einschlägig bekannten Nigeria-Mails ein. Absender war der ebenfalls einschlägig bekannte Dr. Usman Jaffer aus Lagos, der nun schon seit vielen Monaten (->Google) Erben für den verstorbenen (gräßlicher Autounfall) Eden Andrew Wilson sucht.
Da ich mich in solcherlei Angelegenheiten nicht besonders gut auskenne, forwardete ich diese Mail an einen alten Bekannten. Giorgio Betonshu (Giorgio Betonshu Import&Export, Fundament- und Seebestattigungen, Berlin - Munich - Palermo - Chicago) ist eine äußerst ehrenwerte Persönlichkeit und sogar Mitglied einer Gesellschaft!
Für Adressensammler hier das übliche Spamtrap-Futter: usmanjaffer0@lycos.com ffrd_nigeria@financier.com gani@lawyer.com (Es ist übrigens auffällig, daß diese Gangster sehr gerne Adressen auf consultant.com, financier.com und lawyer.com zu liegen haben.)

Ich leitete diese Mail also an G.B. weiter und der antwortete dann freundlicherweise.

Dear Sirs,
a close associate of mine forwarded your proposal to me because
he knows I`m the right person to fulfill your expectations. You
can be sure that everything will be handled with absolute
discretion and reliability.
Before we start discussing the details of the transaction I need
of course first some confirmation about your identity. Please
send me a few documents proving your identity and position at the
bank. Because my company has offices in two major cities here it
is necessary to fax the documents to both numbers listed below
and email them as attachments to me.
FAX (zwei 0190-Faxabrufnummern der VBZ)
Please keep the files small because there is only very limited
space on the email accounts and use "WILSON ENGINEERING NIGERIA"
as the fax title.
For telephone contact please use this mobile number:
PHONE +49-1033-11836 (Siehe S.2 Telefonbuch)
I`m looking forward to your answer.
Yours truly,
Giorgio Betonshu

[Bei jeder Antwortmail gab es die Hotmail-typische Fullquote unten. Ob Usman TOFU mag?]

Ist er nicht nett? Allerdings dürften sämtlich dieser Nummern nicht aus dem Ausland erreichbar sein. Und wenn doch, dann kann er sicher mit der Telefonauskunft auf türkisch nicht viel anfangen. Naja, wer reich werden, will muß leiden!

Wir kriegen euch alle!

[Fidul]

Und wirklich, bald darauf trudelte eine Antwort ein. Wie die vorige auch schon sah diese wie ein Standardschreiben an potentielle Opfer aus. Beim nächsten Mal bitte etwas mehr Einsatz, Usman! Und vielleicht mehr auf das vorige Schreiben eingehen!

Dear Giorgio Betonshu,

Firsly i must thank you very immersley for your e-mail
response to my prposal i thank you indeed. The truth must be told and
accepted foe nobody pointed you to me but i only secured your contact
address from our large chambers of commerce and industry.
As you are aware today’s global business transaction is mostly done by
persons living in different cities and many miles apart. Thus, trust has
become the bedrock and cornerstone of such dealings.

But note, ours is a proposal which you have the right to accept or
reject . you can reject it if it will bring you harm or any discomfort
or accept it if it will being you any benefit or cause you help others
which is what the Almighty God commended. The end justifies the means.

Our is a deal carefully calculated by a team of senior Bank executives,
who think that it is more reasonable to use said ‘fund’ for our
benefit rather than leave for irresponsible “seize” the fund for
their selfish use. Our federal fiscal law, require that if said fund is
not claimed after 5years, the government will confiscate the fund for
social development works which they will not carry out.
As the panel in charge of the funds, we know how to smoothly arrange and
effect the said transfer!
The joint Venture that i am talking about is an ivestment that we will
have to put the money in that will bring to us more profit,once this
fund is been transfered inot your account and you confirm the receipt i
will be coming over to meet with as to do as we have agreed.
To commence this transaction the following will be needed as to enable
me fill in your name as the existing next-of-kin to late. Eden Andrew
Wilson.
1) Your full name
2) Your contact address
3) An account will be needed were this fund will be
transfered into.
4) Your private tel/fax number for easier
communications.
All this will enable me fill in your name in the Bank and then you can
now apply for the fund directly to the bank.
I have to let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free for i
have already concluded every arrangements as to ensure your safty in
this transaction.
But note that we have never entered into any kind of transaction before
as to know the extent of your turst and honesty, but i base my trust on
the almighty God who has commended us to help one another.On the other
hand, your acceptance will bring some financial benefit to you but more
that that, it will bring succur, hope and untold happiness to our
already impoverished families, especially when we retire.
My friend, also know that my entire hope is on this fund for a better
feture for me and my family for it was on this note i consider it proper
to write and seek for your consent to support the transfer into your
account.
So do reach me asap as to enable us conclude this transaction, for this
transaction is the kind that will only take us 14 Bank working days to
transact following the day of the recepit of your postive response
towards the transaction.
I await your urgent response as to enable me fill in your name in the
bank as the existing next-of-kin to Late.Eden Andrew wilson.
Have a nice day.
Thanks & God bless.
Dr.Usman Jaffer

Toll, wie unser Usman auf die mitleidige Tränendrüse drückt, nicht wahr?

Wir kriegen euch alle!

[Fidul]

G.B. ließ sich offensichtlich von der Story beeindrucken und antwortete sehr bereitwillig. Usman war offensichtlich genau beim Richtigen gelandet...

Dear Dr. Usman Jaffer,
I am very glad that you did chose me for this important financial
transaction.
Yes, trust is highly important in this area of business. Thus I would
recommend that we set up together a special bank account especially for
this transaction. A Swiss bank would be the best way for this because
neither you nor I want the Department of Finance profite from the money.
We both would have exclusive access to this bank account and so could
easily have a way to deal with our expenses during the transaction too.
The easiest way would be that you or one of your representatives comes
to me and we open an account at the local bank office. Thus you can be
absolutely sure that you get your money after the transaction.
If you don`t want this I`ll simply use one of my bank accounts. But
in this case the greedy Department of Finance will claim its big,
too big share.
Please tell me which method you prefer.
Here is the data you need:
Full Name: Giorgio Lupara Betonshu
Contact Address: GEHEIM!
Mobile Phone: +49-1033-11836
Fax: wieder eine VBZ-Nummer
I await your response and I`m sure we can come to an agreement.
With friendly greetings,
Giorgio Betonshu

Usman hatte erst einmal alles was er braucht und definitiv nicht gebrauchen kann. Har har har!
Das irgendetwas mit der Nummer nicht so recht stimmte wurde ihm bald klar.

dear giorgio
i have tried to ring you but it appears your phone number is not
complete,please cend me a more correct phone number and reply my mail.
regards
usman

Die Nummer stimmt schon und Giorgio erklärte das noch einmal gaaanz genau.

Dear Usman,
sorry to hear that you couldn`t reach me. But my phone number is
indeed the +49-1033-11836. You know, the country prefix is the +49
or 0049. The 1033 is the prefix of my telephone company. Usually it
is 01033 but when you dial from foreign countries the leading zero
is lost. And the 11836 is the number of my phone.
I think the 0049-1033-11836 should work now. Otherwise please email
me again and I`ll setup a special stationary number for our contact.
Friendly greetings,
Giorgio Betonshu

Aussicht auf Besserung bestand aber trotzdem nicht.

[Fidul]

Aber was soll`s, Usman kam erst einmal direkt zum geschäftlichen Teil.

dear giorgio
Thank you for your prompt response. Regards To your e-mail
response, I was very happy to read your Mail, I believe that we will
work together as one Family to achieve the success of this business.
Please I want to remind you once again about the secret Of this business
it’s very important as any atom of Exposure will jeopardize the
transaction.
As for the account problem, because of the fact that time is not on our
side,i will advice that you use your local account for now and when the
money will be ready for transfer, we will now make an alternetive
arrangment for account number.
All you will have to do right now is reproduce the below Draft letter

Giorgio machte sich also an die Arbeit und füllte das Formular recht krativ und ziemlich plausibel samt Stempel und Unterschrift aus (Danke, Ulead PhotoImpact!). Da er ein kleiner Teufel ist, gab es den Schriebs zuerst als BMP mit über 2.7 MB. Leider will Hotmail nur Attachments mit höchstens 1 MB zusammen, so daß dann doch ein gering komprimiertes JPG zum Einsatz kam, sicherheitshalber zusammen mit einer HTML-Version. Beim nächsten Mal wird besser an der Grenze gekratzt!

Dear Dr. Okpan,
here is the requested application form.

Dear Usman,
I`ve sent the application form to Dr. John Okpan. I hope everything
was right. I`ve attached a copy of the draft below, complete with
signature and stamp.
Yours truly,
Giorgio Betonshu

Die Mailboxen platzten leider nicht.

[Fidul]

Usman war anscheinend schon etwas ungeduldig und hatte immer noch Telefonprobleme. Da kann Giorgio aber nichts dafür!

giorgio
why did it take you time to reply my lasy mail,anyway i thank god that
you have sent the application. please the moment they reply you, inform
me so that i will tell you the next step.
i have tried to call you so many times but it appears the phone number
is not complete, send me a better phone number.
usman

Ach ja, Giorgio hatte leider gute Gründe für die Verzögerung.

Dear Usman,
I`m very sorry for not replying to you earlier but I was in the hospital
for a few days. You know, the weather here is currently very bad and this
always causes my asthma going wild. But today it is much better again.
Well, the telephone issue is a strange thing. It is quite possible that
my telephone company has some roaming problems with foreign countries.
Please use the number (0190-VBZ) next time.
Only in the unlikely case this doesn`t work again you`d call me at my
company. Of course that is not recommendable because of the high
confidentiality of our transaction. So use the 0049-30-XXXXXX only
if the other number does not work. Tell my secretary you want to speak
me regarding the cement contract for Nigeria. I`ll let lookt it like
a normal proposed business exchange for a construction company.
With friendly greetings,
Giorgio

Na, das wird wieder nix werden. Die zweite Nummer ist allerdings nicht trivial.
Wenigstens war Usman erleichtert, daß sein lieber Partner sich nicht davongemacht hatte.

giorgio
it is nice to hear from you, i will call you later
usman

Und noch einmal:

i have tried to ring you but could not, i will ring you tomorrow

Try it again, Usman!

Hihi, Usman hat tatsächlich Geld in Anrufe investiert! Wirklich schade, daß die populären "Mehrwertrufnummern" nicht vom Ausland aus erreichbar sind, sonst hätte die VBZ jetzt einige Euros eingenommen.

giorgio
i called you but i was told it is germen police phone number, i wonder
what is going on.
usman

Tja, was soll man da machen? Jammern, lügen, Technobabble und unverständliche Fremdwörter verwenden!

Dear Usman,
I am very sorry about the inconvenience. You know, my company has
its office in the eastern part of Berlin because the office rent
there is much lower than in the western part. The problem is that
the telephone system here is still suffering from the effects of
communism. We still have a so-called "gezweierten Doppelanschluß"
with our neighbour, the pickpocket archives of the police. The
state telephone company is even twelve years after the end of the
communism not able to end this dreadful situation! No wonder why
their stocks have dropped by more than 90 percent during the last
few years. Luckily I don`t have any stocks of them. Sometimes our
number collides with the one from the police and because the
police always has the top priority in the telephone system the
call lands there. That`s why we use mainly the mobile phones for
communication in the company. The fax is not affected.
Did you use the other number (0190-VBZ) before calling my
office? In fact I got a few very strange calls yesterday. There
where only strange tones and nobody spoke. What kind of dialing
system do you use? There are some incompatibilities in the local
system with either pulse or tone dialing. I don`t know which
method causes trouble - I`ll have to ask the telephone company.
To solve this embarassing situation I`d say you should give me
your telephone number. Then I`ll call you to finally continue
our transaction.
Did you already prepare something I can send to Dr. Okpan?
With friendly greetings,
Giorgio Betonshu

Immer schön konstruktiv und kooperativ bleiben.
Usman ärgert sich, geht aber trotzdem zum nächsten Schritt über. Ich habe das komische Gefühl, daß unser lieber Giorgio irgendwann wieder mit den erwähnten 7000$ zusammentreffen wird...

giorgio
it is a pity that it is happening like this, anyway after much
deliberation i have decided to use the services of an attorney
to tender all the neccessary proves, it will be beter to use
the attorney because they might not take you serious if we
continue to contact them through email or fax. i have already
contacted him and he charged me $7000 to act on your behalf, i
will gather all the money on monday and he will commence work
on monday.
tell dr okpan that you have instructed your attorney in
nigeria to handle the neccessary documentation. the name of
the attorney is MR GANI FAYEMI OF GANI AND ASOCIATE(LEGAL
PRACTIONERS AND SOLICITORS) N0 4 SOLOGUN STREET AGUDA SURUKLERE
LAGOS. mind you, the attorney is not aware of the true history
of the payment, he believes that you are really the next of kin
to wilson. he has demanded to see your first, second pages of
your international passport. your should send it to him through
his mail box gani@lawyer.com he is waiting for it. on your
email to him, thank him very much for accepting to work on your
behalf, be diplomatic in your dealings with him.
my office phone number is 234 1 4801966,mobile 234 1 4719568.
for security reason, i am introducing a communication code and
the code shall be success 2002. if you call me, you should ask
me what the code is and if i cannot say success 2002, hang up
the phone. i must say the code before you start saying anything.
this code is very important.
contact the attorney immediately and call me later today
usman

Gibt es XXL für Nigeria? Nein? Na dann spart sich Giorgio eben den Anruf...

[Fidul]

Es war Sonnabend Nachmittag und ich nuckelte an meinem Kaffee. Da stach mich der Hafer und ich arrangierte für Giorgio eine kleine Reise. Mal sehen, ob er Usman zu einer kleinen Stadtrundfahrt überreden kann.

Dear Usman,
I`m just preparing the documents for the attorney and will send
them out immediately after I hear back from you.
I have very exciting news for you! Because of some important
unexpected last minute business negotiations I`ll have to
travel to South Africa this Sunday. There will be a two hour
(4pm-6pm) stop in Lagos so that we could eventually meet and
personally discuss the details of our transaction. I think
this coincidence is a very good omen for our business!
I have already tried to call you a few times because of this
exciting news but nobody picked up the phone (both numbers).
Please email me back as soon as possible what other documents,
forms and other papers you`ll need so that I can bring them all
with me. This should speed up our negotiations immensly. You
probably know a place in Lagos where we can do the paperwork.
Should I bring some money for the attorney with me or do you
have the 7000$ ready?
I`m urgently awaiting your response.
With very happy greetings,
Giorgio Betonshu

Und weil es so dringend ist, gleich noch einmal:

Dear Usman,
I`m sending this email again to you just in case you didn`t
get it the first time.
I have very exciting news for you! Because of some important
unexpected last minute business negotiations I`ll have to
travel to South Africa this Sunday. There will be a two hour
(4pm-6pm) stop in Lagos so that we could eventually meet and
personally discuss the details of our transaction. I think
this coincidence is a very good omen for our business!
I have already tried to call you a few times because of this

Please email me back as soon as possible what other documents,

with me. This should speed up our negotiations immensly. You
probably know a place in Lagow where we can do the paperwork.
Should I bring some money for the attorney with me or do you
have the 7000$ ready? And how are the visa regulations for
Nigeria?
I`m urgently awaiting your response until 8am on Sunday. If
I don`t get a message from you until then we`ll have to wait
until I return from South Africa somewhere next week. But there
will be again a stop in Lagos from what I know and maybe we
could meet then. But tomorrow would be the best because I
could prepare everything then already.
With very happy greetings,
Giorgio Betonshu

Was denn, keine Antwort? Na warte...

Dear Usman,
I`m now heading to the airport. It`s a real pity that you didn`t
get my mail in time. So we have to try it another day when I
come back from South Africa. I can`t get you a telephone number
there yet but you can reach me under my email address because the
hotel there has internet access and I have my notebook with me.
I would very much pleased if we could arrange a meeting on my
way back to Germany.
Sincerely,
Giorgio Betonshu
