Hello Don,

How can I be of assistance? My interest in your transaction has been rendered by 
the email you sent me.

Don seems to be getting straight down to business...

Dear Lilith Cova,

I have received your email dated Thursday, 26
September, 2002 regarding my urgent busines proposal.
Thanks so much for the prompt reply.I have no doubt in
my mind that you will handle this business perfectly
well hence my contact with you.In order to proceed on
with the transacton,I shall require from you the
information as stated below:-

(a)  The name/address of your bank including its
telephone and fax numbers.
(b)  The account number that the fund will be
deposited.
(c)  The account beneficiary (account name)
(d)  Your company's full mailing address
(e)  Your private telepone and fax numbers for direct
and confidential communication.

We shall use the above information to process and
obtain approvals from the relevant government agencies
here in Nigeria for easy transfer of the money into
your account.

With your maximum cooperation and support, I intend to
conclude this business within two weeks on receipt of
the above information from you.However, I had earlier
informed you in my proposal letter that this business
is 100% risk free provided you will maintain the
confidentiality it deserves.

I am awaiting your urgent response as time is of
essence in this business.

Kind regards,
Donald Martins.


30/09/2002 8:45PM

I can't be entirely willing to embark on the transaction that easily

Hello Don,

Exactly which government agencies do you need approvals from?

What account number do you need? Do I need to create a new account especially 
for this transaction? Why do need my company's name? What happens if they are 
contacted in relation to the transaction?

My fax here in London is +44 7092313346

More NNPC action...

Dear Lilith Cova,

I have received your email dated 30/9/2002.

In answer to your questions, I submit as follows:
(a) The approvals will be obtained from the government
agencies listed below;
 
i. Corporate Affairs Commission, Abuja
ii. Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
iii. Federal Inland Revenue (Tax Office)
iv. Stamp Duties Office

(b) You do not necessarily need to create a new
account especially for this transaction. All that is
required is a safe account that will accommodate the
US$25million without any problem. It could be a
private account or company account.

(c) The reason why I need your company's name is
because it will be used to process and obtain
approvals from the relevant government agencies as
mentioned above for easy and smooth transfer of the
fund out of Nigeria. There will be no problem if your
company is contacted by any Nigerian Government Agency
in the course of this transaction provided you will
always have access to any information coming into the
company. However, if you do not wish to use your
company's name, you can equally give me a name to be
used in processing the payment but you don't have
cause to be worried using your company's name given
the plans on the ground for a perfect and successful
conclusion of the 'business deal' without any problem.
If there should be any danger in this transaction, I
do not think I would involve myself. This is because I
have my family and good job including my reputation to
protect here in Nigeria. The transaction is very safe.

However, it may interest you to know that this
transaction will be packaged in such a way as to
suggest that you are receiving the US$25Million for
contract you executed to the NNPC in 1998 under
Contract No. NNPC/PPMC/FCP/315/98. The nature of the
contract is supply/installation of Petro-Chemical
Equipment to the Eleme Petro-Chemical Complex in
Rivers State of Nigeria. This is the contract through
which the over-invoiced amount of US$25Million
originated. Therefore, some vital documents will be
processed and approvals obtained in some government
agencies here in Nigeria in the name of the person or
company that will act as the contract beneficiary to
the US$25Million.

It is in view of the above explanation that I
requested you earlier to forward your company/bank
information to me in order to commence action on this
matter without further delay. Needless to inform you
that time is of great essence in this transaction and
that you should always keep this 'business deal' a top
secret; don't discuss it out with people anyhow.
Always keep it to yourself until the fund enters your
account.

I hope this message will find your co-operation.

Awaiting your urgent response.

Regards and remain blessed.
Donald Martins.


2/10/2002 11:37AM

Hmm what happens if a company name is not forthcoming?

Hello Don,

I'm afraid I can't use the name of the company I work for. It is rather large 
and I not able to access all the information coming into the company. In fact we 
have a mailroom because of the amount of information flowing into the company. 
So the use of the name of the company I work for is not possible. Is there some 
way to get around the requirement for a company name?

Lilith Cova


3/08/2002 3:19PM

Email to test the waters...

Dear Lilith Cova,

I have received your email of 2/10/2002.

I understood all your explanations concerning the
company where you work. It does not necessarily mean
that we should transact the business deal in your
company's name; we can register a company here in
Nigeria in your name provided you have an account with
such a name or you can open one. The company will be
registered thus: LILITHCOVA NIGERIA INVESTMENT COMPANY
LIMITED just for the purpose of this transaction. And
you have to make available little money for the
registration of this company at the Corporate Affairs
Commission, Abuja Nigeria. I hope this is clear to
you.

Awaiting your urgent response.

Kind regards and remain blessed.
Donald Martins.


4/10/2002 12:12AM

Well I certainly don't want to pay for a company registration!

Hello Donald,

I think I have found a better solution. My sister runs a small bakery here in 
London called the "Republican Bakeries of Great Britian" I frequently help my 
sister in here business especially since she has gone down with the sunstroke 
recently and the doctor told her to get a few weeks rest and recuperate and stay 
out of the British sunshine which London is so famous for. Why just the other 
day, the Home Office issued a warning saying that everyone should be wearing 
sunscreen due the amount of bright sunny days expected in London. 

I can intercept all communication into the bakery. I think this is a better 
solution. The bakery has been in business since 1997 and since the contract you 
talk of happened in 1998, I think its best to use the bakery. If you register a 
new business just for the transaction now, I am afraid it will generate to much 
suspicions since the contact was 4 years ago while LILITHCOVA NIGERIA INVESTMENT 
COMPANY LIMITED would have been created after the contract was completed! 

Now you could say that maybe by offering a bribe to the officials you can 
backdate the creation of the company to 1998 but lets keep this transaction 100% 
risk free, alright?

Lilith Cova


4/10/2002 8:37AM

Seems that once the scammer has the idea of trying to charge for a company name, the scammer won't let go...

Dear Lilith Cova,

I have received your email of today 3/10/2002.

There is no way we can use your sister's company for
this transaction without her knowledge. This is
because the contract fund will eventually enter into
your sister's company account. And you can imagine
what will be her reaction without prior information as
to this transaction. I know you may be trying to avoid
making expenses in the transaction but the fact
remains that expenses is quite inevitable in this
transaction no matter how little. Therefore, I think
the best option is to use a name that will equal serve
as an account provider for the lodgement of the
contract fund. I suggest we use your name provided you
have a bank account in that name. It will be safe and
convenient for both of us than involving a third party
into the business. However, we can still use your
sister's company if you so wish but it would be wise
you inform her. Or what do you say?

Awaitng your urgent response.

Regards, 
Donald Martins.


4/10/2002 9:13PM

We I still don't want to pay for the charges...

Hello Don,

I assumed that you will allow the fund to be deposited in my bank account 
instead of the business's. I doesn't matter, becuase my sister is still 
suffering from the effects of the sunstroke so I will be able to control the 
bakery's account for awhile. I don't think it will be that wise to inform her 
yet as you have said to keep this transaction confidential. However if it is 
your wish for me to inform her then I will.

Therefore I still think the wise decision is to use the Bakery as the business.

Lilith Cova


5/10/2002 8:23PM

Good, the Republican Bakeries can be used for the transaction...

DEAR COVA,
I HAVE READ YOUR EMAIL AND I HAVE AGREED WITH YOUR
IDEA OF USING THE BAKERY FOR THE TRANSACTION WITHOUT
LETTING THE OWNER KNOW ABOUT IT;THERRFORE YOU SHOULD
SEND THE INFORMATION EARLIER REQUESTED FOR US TO
COMMENCE THE DOCUMENTATION TOWARD TRANSFERING THE
FUND.

AWAITING YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.

REGARDS,
DONALD MARTINS.


5/10/2002 9:16PM

Now to get on with the fake bank details... "DMIAD" code stands for "Donald Martins Is A Dumbass"

Dear Don,

Thank you for agreeing with me. For a moment there I thought that the difference 
in opinion might shatter the relationship we had.

The name of the business is: Republican Bakeries of Great Britian
My Bank account information:
Account Name: Miss Lilith Cova
Bank Name: Royal Barings Bank
Bank Account Number: 2356 - 2529873
Bank DMIAD code: 344-EF11

Please tell me how to proceed from here.

Lilith Cova


3/08/2002 3:19PM

Email to test the waters...

Dear Lilith Cova,

I received your email of today 5/10/2002.

Could you please give me detailed information to
enable me process documents for the transfer of the
fund into your account correctly; perhaps you can
state it as below:

(a)  The name/address of your bank including its
telephone and fax numbers.
(b)  The account number that the fund will be
deposited including the account sort code (if any).
(c)  The account beneficiary (account name)
(d)  Your company's full mailing address
(e)  Your private telepone and fax numbers for direct
and confidential communication.

With these information, I will be able to commence
action on the transaction. You can call me on my
direct phone number 234-80-33151351.

Awaiting your urgent response.

Kind regards and remain blessed.
Donald Martins.


6/10/2002 8:30PM

Obviously not enough fake details to satisfy Donald in my last email...

Hello Don,

Here is the information that you have requested.
(a) 
Royal Barings Bank
57 New Easthampton Road
Tel: 7091297445

(b)
Account Name: Miss Lilith Cova
Bank Name: Royal Barings Bank
Bank Account Number: 2356 - 2529873
Bank DMIAD code: 344-EF11

(c)
Lilith Cova

(d)
Republican Bakeries of Great Britain
9 Downing Street
London

(e)
Fax: +44 7092313346


Also, I am not sure if you are aware. In the UK, there is a requirement that I 
notify my bank if there is going to me a large transaction. This is true for all 
British Banks. If the transaction is over 2 million pounds, then the banks must 
be informed and the suitable documentation be produced. This new requirement was 
a result of the terrorist attacks that you know of. Therefore you will have to 
send me some documentation in the transaction so that I can bring it to the 
bank. If not, then the bank might get suspicious on such a large transaction on 
my account.

Lilith Cova

8/10/2002 11:44PM

Oh well no phone calls unfortunately...

Hello Mr Martins,

I tried to ring you today but I couldn't get through. I get the message "All 
trunks busy" I assume that your line might be engaged? Or perhaps the Nigerian 
telephone system is unreliable? Anyway, anything you want to say can be said 
over the email. Why did you want me to call you?

The fax was actually received on the 16th. Probably someone on the Nigerian end screwed up... Hahaha

Hello,

Yes my fax does work. I went back to my fax machine and I think I've found the 
problem I had my fax machine on hold so it was storing my faxes instead of 
printing it out. But there seems to be a problem I have forwarded the fax I 
recieved to you at the end of this email. What is this Finance Ministry??

Lilith Cova


19/10/2002 3:18PM

Ahh... Nigerian fraudsters eh? and Mr Martins, you are?

DEAR MISS COVA,
I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR EMAIL.
  
PLEASE ALWAYS PUT THE FAX MACHINE ON PERMANENT MODE.I
THINK THE FAX NUMBER IS STILL +44 7092313346.

I THANK YOU FOR THE MESSAGE FROM THE FEDERAL MINISTRY
OF FINANCE WHICH YOU FORWARDED TO ME. FOR YOUR
INFORMATION,THE MESSAGE IS NOT FROM THE OFFICIAL
QUARTERS AND PLEASE DON'T REPLY IT.THROW IT IN WASTE
BIN.AT ANY TIME YOU RECEIVE SUCH MESSAGE,KINDLY LET ME
KNOW FOR PROPER CONFIRMATION FROM THE OFFICIAL
QUARTERS HERE IN NIGERIA.EVEN IF SUCH MESSAGE IS FROM
THE BANK,IT IS GOOD THAT I CONFIRM IT TO YOU BEFORE
YOU REPLY TO IT. THIS IS TO SAFE YOU FROM HAVING
CONTACTS WITH NIGERIAN FRAUDSTERS. I HOPE YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND ME ON THIS ISSUE.

REGARDS,
DONALD MARTINS

THE SO CALLED DOCUMENT PURPORTED TO BE FROM THE
FINANCE MINISTRY DOES NOT INCLUDE YOUR COMPANY
NAME,CONTRACT NUMBER, CONTRACT AMOUNT,YOUR NAME,OR ANY
INFORMATION CONCERNING OUR BUSINESS.I MIGHT THINK THE
DOCUMENT WAS SENT TO YOU ON ERROR WHICH IS THE REASON
I ADVISED YOU SHOULD NOT REPLY TO SUCH A MISDIRECTED
FAX MESSAGE.I AM IN A BETTER POSITION TO ADVISE YOU
PROPERLY AS FAR AS THIS TRANSACTION IS CONCERNED.

REGARDS AND REMAIN BLSSSED.
DONALD MARTINS


21/10/2002 1:24AM

Well the fax number is correct... And who are these fraudsters you are talking about?

Hello mr Martins,

Yes my fax number is +44 7092313346 has you have said in your email. Please tell 
the bank to fax the material again as I am sure that my fax machine is working 
fully now.

You talk about these "NIGERIAN FRAUDSTERS" how do they defraud people? is it 
that dangerous in Nigeria?

Lilith Cova


21/10/2002 10:14PM

Well the fax number actually does work...

DEAR LILITH,
THANKS FOR YOUR EMAIL.
YOUR FAX IS NOT YET IN ORDER AND IT IS DELAYING THIS

SITUATION IS STILL THESAME.YOU CAN GIVE ME AN
ALTERNATIVE FAX NUMBER FOR THE BANK AS I CAN ALWAYS
REACH YOU BY EMAIL.

AWAITING YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.

REGARDS,
DONALD MARTINS


22/10/2002 11:55PM

Well the fax number is correct... It works, unless of course yac.com are having problems. Sue Ridge = "sewerage" Say it out aloud... 235 + 184 = 419 so the title of the fictional book is "419 Instigators and other derck of the Earth"

Hello Don Martins,

I am perplexed by your inability to fax me. I have receiving my personal faxes 
just fine. In fact yesterday, I received a fax from my long time friend, Sue 
Ridge, she faxed me a copy over her new novella called "235 + 184 Instigators 
and other derck of the Earth" The fax worked perfectly, and she lives all the 
way over in Ireland!

Please try the fax again, I suspect is the Nigerian telephone system again. I 
can't ring you up as much as I tried I still get the lines busy message. Can you 
scan the documents and send them to me?

Lilith Cova


24/10/2002 12:08AM

*Yawn*

DEAR LILITH,
I CAN ALWAYS UNDERSTAND YOUR EXPLANATIONS AND
DIFFICULTIES ON THE FAX ISSUE BUT THE FACT REMAINS
THAT THE DOCUMENT TO BE SENT TO YOU IS NOT COMING FROM
ME BUT FROM THE PAYING BANK HERE IN NIGERIA;IT IS A
SITUATION NOT UNDER MY CONTROL BUT HOWEVER I SHALL
APPROACH MY ATTORNEY TO VISIT THE BANK AND DISCUSS THE
POSSIBILITY WITH THE BANK SENDING SUCH INFORMATION TO
YOU THROUGH ATTACHMENT.AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU.I
HOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME.

Perhaps Donald will have to work harder to gain Lilith's trust. Just to recap, I am faking various messages so thatt the Scammer will have to work hard to try to scam Lilith, I just wanted to see what the scammer will do when faced with these obstacles.

Hello,

I have to say I'm getting perplexed at which of you is the real Donald Martins. 
So I am writing to both of you to see which of you can prove that you are the 
real Donald Martins.

Lilith Cova

----- Original Message ----

Dear Lilith Cova,

Thank you for informing me of the email that my office staff has sent you. Make 
no mistake, he is an impostor tring to implicate me in the transaction. Do not 
email him again. To prove my identity I will send you a pictur of my pasport in 
my next email

I have received what the bank sent you in your last email. In my next email I 
will tell you what to do.

Donald Martins


6/11/2002 11:29PM

I suppose there is honour among thieves. I hoped that he suspect his fellow compatriots of trying to steal a piece of the action. Obviously not... I well perhaps the end is near for this thread?

DEAR LILITH,
I DO NOT NEED TO PROVE MYSELF TO YOU ANYMORE. PLEASE,
CONTINUE WITH THE OTHER DONALD MARTINS WHO KNOWS
NOTHING ABOUT THIS BUSINESS. ASK HIM ANY INFORMATION
ABOUT THIS BUSINESS AND GET TO THE TRUTH OF THE
MATTER. IS HE THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU APPROVALS ON
THIS PAYMENT? DOES HE KNOW THE STAGE OF THIS
TRANSACTION.? GIVE HIM A SIMPLE TEST ON THIS
TRANSACTION AND SEE HIM CRUMBLE LIKE A PACK OF CARD.

FINALLY, I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR NEW
FOUND BUSINESS PARTNER.

BYE-BYE.
DONALD MARTINS.
