Ok, here we go: I wanted to do some scambaiting, since I hadn't received any 419 for a while (guess I made the right precautions to prevent those bastards from mailing me), so I set up a fake mailaccount, amussert_1946@hotmail.com and spread it around on several guestbooks. Jackpot! within two days I received app. 25 urgent business proposals. Barrister Hamza Bello was the first, he sent me this within 24 hours...But not only because of this I picked him out :-)
(Okay, this is a plain case of cut and paste :-) He doesn't even notice (or does not bother perhaps) that his letter is twice in the same e-mail, right beneath the first one. I cut and pasted this exactly the way I received it. Please note that the horribly deceased accountholder in the first letter has the same last name as Anton; mr. John Mussert and in the second letter is just called mr. John!)

Dear Anton Mussert ,
I am Barrister Hamza Bello, a legal Solicitor and I was the Personal Attorney and legal adviser to Mr.John Mussert, a national of your country, who used to work with Mobil oil Company lome togo Plc.On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along lome Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also
proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before the get impounded by the security
company were my client deposited this consignment(two trunk boxes).

consignment valued at about Twenty Million United States Dollars ($U.S
20.000,000) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
consignment confiscated/impounded within the next ten official working days.

Dear mr. Hamza Bello,
I was quite surprised to find out I had a relative who lived and worked in
Togo! Did I got that right? He, along with his wife and children all died in
a car-accident? What a horrible accident that must've been! Could you please
send me more details about the accident. After all, if a relative dies, one
wants to know how and where, wouldn't you agree?
As far as your offer is concerned: it sounds interesting, please provide me
with more details.

Dear Hamza Bello,
I am sorry for the delay, but I had to see my doctor very urgent this morning, hence I was not able to contact you rightaway.
I would love to speak to you on the phone, but unfortunately since April 19th (exactly 9 years and 1 day this day) I have lost my hearing due to the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building. Let me explain this to you: on that day I was in Oklahoma for a meeting with possible Vaerckensbeersaed-licencees. As you probably will know, Vaerckensbeersaed (this is derived from a very old traditional Dutch drink) is after Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Seven Up, Fanta the most popular beverage in the United States, and since my company is the #1 manufacturer of Vaerckensbeersaed, we get requests for licences to carry Vaerckensbeersaed-vending machines at the office or restaurant or general businesses all the time. We collect them and on set dates we gather all the potential licencees for a meeting. You see we are very strict in our licencee-programme: before a business can comply, they have to meet certain demands, e.g.: they have to employ at least 25 people, the Vaerckensbeersaed-vending machine has to have a prominent spot in the building, and so on. If and only if a company meets all our requirements, they get an invitation to what we call a "Vaerckensbeersaed-slurperij", the name we gave to meetings of potential license-holders. On these meetings, there will be decided which company gets the vending-license, as we hand over only 50 licenses per annum. In 1995 this meeting happened to be in Oklahoma City in a party-center just across the street from the Federal Building. I was just outside, having a cigarette when the bomb that evil Timothy Leary had placed there, went off. Ever since I have lost my hearing. But in all, I feel very lucky to have survived it at all: the party-center collapsed and killed at least 25 people who were inside. Somehow the shockwave of the explosion only destroyed my hearing, but missed me for the bigger part. I am very grateful to God for that.
So, unfortunately I cannot contact you by phone, since I won't be able to hear what you are saying to me. I however do have access to a TextPhone, so if you have access to a Textphone, we can directly communicate by that means. If, however you do not have access to a TextPhone, e-mail is the only means of direct communication. So please let me know if you can access a TextPhone.
PS.: Let me know if you are perhaps interested in becoming a Vaerckensbeersaed-licence-vendor in your part of the World; you earn a decent salary PLUS you get a huge bonus every time a licence is sold in your part of the World! Also, I came up with a great idea: we can invest the amount of money you are offering me in a Vaerckensbeersaed Manufacturing Plant in your country, Togo, of which you, of course, will be the director and you will have to report only to me and the board of directors here in Alabama! How about that? Does that seem a good idea to you?

Hamza Bello,
Are you calling me stupid? As far as the original transaction is
concerned, I told you I was interested in your offer and I also asked you to
provide me more details about processing this transaction. You urged me to
call you on the phone, but since I am deaf (and it was just out of common
courtesy that I explained to you the reason why I am deaf) telephonic
conversation is not an option. I offered you to communicate through
TextPhone, but since you do not react to this offer/question, I assume you
are not in possession of such a device. That's it. I do not like to be
called stupid, as I am fully aware of the extend of your proposition.
Now, do you want to continue with this transaction? If yes, immediately
provide me with the details of this deal through my e-mail. I am a very busy
man and I have a company to run (together with my board of directors), so I
don't have time to fool around and wait until you finally decide to hand me
the details of a proposition YOU made. If you want to go through with this,
hand me over all the details, or else forget it.
PS: I am leaving my office now for a dear friend's birthday, and won't be
back at the office until tomorrow morning. If you are serious about this
transaction, I expect to find a fully detailed e-mail sent by you in my
inbox tomorrow. You have a good day, sir.

(hm, too bad the deal suddenly involves a bank and Anton, who is obviously monitored by his board of directors, has been forced to discuss this with his board. The board is kindy greedy and wants to go along, but demands a few things from hamza. I bet, our barrister does not like this. Just to ease Hamza a little, Anton sends his picture along, which is in fact a picture of Jean Marie Le Pen. I also bet this transaction could take a lot more time than 10 working days or 12 hours :-)

Dear mr Hamza Bello,
I see you want to continue this deal, since I found the details, thus I
hereby acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail.
I have discussed this matter with my board of directors, since it is a
bank we are dealing with and company-rules are demanding full transparancy
amongst the board if any transaction involves a bank, and not a security
company as you said in your earlier letter. Since banks are official
institutions and we have to avoid any risk of our company being exposed to
the suspicion of foul play.
The board went okay with your proposal, as long as we split our share
of 55% of the $20,000,000.= (twenty million US dollars), which will be
$11,000,000.= (eleven million US dollars). Of course I will get a larger
share of this amount than the four other directors, because I own this
company and I was the one who introduced them to this deal. Hence I get a
share of $3,000,000.= (three million dollars); while the four others each
get $2,000,000.= (two million dollars)
They however do have some demands/questions to be complied with, before
we settle this deal. Once you fullfil these, the form will be handed over to
the bank within 12 hours after receivement of the requested.
They demand the following of you:
- a copy of your (international) passport;
- a statement by the Togoan government that you are actually a barrister
(don't worry, you just go and ask for one, perhaps you do have one lying
around at your office; a copy of your diploma will do, in fact);
- a clear, large picture of you holding a sign which bears our company
slogan: "SPUYT ME NOG EENS LECKER VOL MET VAERCKENSBEERSAED" (this is just
to know with whom we are dealing);
Then, they have some questions:
- Do you want us to set up a fake bank account here in the US for the money
to be transferred to?
- On which term will you be able, after conclusion of this deal, to come to
Alabama and -after visiting our Vaerckensbeersaed-manufacturing plant of
course- collect the money?
On a personal level, I would like you to know that I am glad that we
have agreed to commence this transaction.
Maybe it would be nice to get to know one and another a little better.
Since you are a Barrister, you must be a man of great wisdom and knowledge.
Tell me, do you have a wife and children? If you have children, how old
are they and are they boys or girls or both? Luckily you are living in one
of the few peaceful countries in your region, Toko, and not in one of those
horrible war-infested countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia and so on.
I am sorry for all the demands and questions, but my four directors all
think: Anton's deaf, so he's a moron. They treat me like a little child and
are watching every step I make. Therefore I had to discuss this with them,
because else they would have forced me out of office (of my own company!).
Luckily for you they are all greedy bastards, each and everyone of them. As
long as they get their share, they will go along for the ride. As for me, I
do not really need the money, as our company makes 35 billion annually. I
just wanna help you, that's all.
Please find attached a picture of me as a token of good will to you.

He sent me a scan of a passport which is of course a fraud, and not a very good one. Or maybe he stole it from the real Hamza Bello, in that case I would like to offer my apologies to the truthful owner of this passport, who's definitively not the one that's e-mailing me. 
(Too bad Hamza, Anton did not want something you made up yourself, but an official paper to prove he is actually a barrister; time to remind him of this...Also he gives Hamza some personal background information :-) Note that there never was a civil war in the Netherlands in the past 175 years "Kippenvlooien" means "Chicken-fleas" Edah is a large chain of supermarkets in the Netherlands, Frisia, Drenthe and Groningen are provinces of the Netherlands, "Scheet" is Dutch for breaking winds, Wucbbo Ockels was the first Dutchman in space and finally, "Aansluiting" is Dutch for the Nazi-word "Anschluss".)

Dear Hamza Bello,
I am sorry I could not contact you any earlier, there was some trouble
in the computer network here and some computer repair guys had to come by
and it took them a day to find what the problem was. They told me what it
was, but I have no knowledge of computers whatsoever. So don't you go ask me
what it was, haha!
I reviewed your email just now and for starters I can say that it's
quite impressive what you wrote me, but it isn't an official statement,
which we demand. What I am trying to say is that we have to be absolutely
sure that you are who you say you are. This having said, we saw your
international passport, hence we believe that you are who you say you are.
But we need to be absolutely sure that you are a Barrister at law,
henceforth you are still complied to send us a scan or fax of the statement
of the Togolese government that you are in fact a Barrister. This could be
anything from the official stamped statement thru a scan of your letter of
installment as a lawyer to a scan/copy/fax of your University diploma. You
can send this as an attachment to me or fax it to us at the following
number:
+1 630-604-6224
Also you forgot to send the picture of yourself holding a sign with our
company-slogan "SPUYT ME NOG EENS LECKER VOL MET VAERCKENSBEERSAED". Please
remember that this photograph has to be large and clear. Please comply to
these swiftly and the deal will be settled before you know it.
The board and I actually think it's easier for you and us if we set up
a bankaccount for the sole purpose of this transaction. In fact our lawyer,
a colleague of yours, has advised us to do so. This due to two reasons: 1)
it's a fair chance this business gets mixed up with the regular businesses
our company has and 2) the internal revenue service (I.R.S.) might get
suspicious, as a large company such as ours is monitored and has to give
complete transparancy of our dealings to the public.
One other thing: we and our company are located in Alabama, and that is
not in Germany, but in the US. But I guess mistakes will happen. So you just
say when and our company will buy you a ticket to Mobile, that's the capital
of Alabama, since we all want to meet the kind gentleman who offers us a
deal of such magnitude. In fact, I just rang an employee to go to the
nearest airport next monday and purchase a ticket for you, which will be
sent to the adress you gave in your e-mail. Which date would suit you to
come to our beautiful state?
Also, you have not told me yet if you are married and have children, I
really would like to know that.
Let me tell you, for starters something about myself. The USA is my
country in exile, the country I was born in is The Netherlands, which I had
to leave behind. You certainly heard about the dreadful Kippenvlooien war
which raged the Netherlands early in the fifties? Where the Frisian
Seperation Group did a coupe d'etat in Leeuwarden, the capital of Frisia and
declared Frisia independent of The Netherlands. This was in 1948.
In 1950 they try to capture Drenthe, a province which had a large
minority of Frisians who wanted "Aansluiting" with Frisia (they wanted to be
part of the self-proclaimed Kingdom Of Frisia). Their king was King Wubbo
Ockels (KFK-II). Conflict erupted and for three years war raged over my
small homecountry. When it looked like Frisia was going to lose the war,
Germany invaded Groningen to come to Frisia's aide. Within half a year the
Netherlands had lost and Germany installed a new government and united
rebellious Frisia again with the rest of The Netherlands.
The Netherlands were ethnic cleansed of any forces opposing the
Frisians. All former enemies of the Frisians were deported to places were
they were not born and had to work in a working camp called Edah (this is
old Frisian for "work"). Unfortunately I never believed in the Frisians,
hence I had to flee, since I did not want to be forced to work at an Edah.
My parents were already deceased at the time and my only brother was killed
in the battle for Emmercompascuum. So I had nothing left to lose.
The US were always on the side of The Netherlands and I am grateful
they granted me political Asylum in 1954 and in 1956 I received American
citizenship, which allowed me to found a small shed in which I started to
produce Vaerckensbeersaed, a traditional drink from the Netherlands and it
caught on! It grew bigger and bigger and now our company is the fifth most
consumed softdrink in the USA! we have a turnover of $35 billion + per annum
and our profits keep rising.
But I still miss my own little country and one day, if the political
climate has changed over there (and from what I heard, this won't be very
long now), I will return there and live the last years of my life amongst te
people I had to be seperated from for mor than half a century. I'm telling
you all this, because I believe we can be friends and I trust you.
Hoping to hear from you soonest and wishing you a happy day "onder de
scheet van God" as an ancient Dutch saying goes, which means literally
"Under the grace of God".
Kind regards,
Your friend
(Since in Africa they don't seem to have weekends according to the amount of business proposals I get through Saturdays and Sundays, I expect some reaction from Hamza, but until today I have not received anything from him. But maybe the internet café in Lome is closed for the weekends. Or he probably wants to keep up the appearance that he is sending from his office. Anyway, Anton gets excited about this deal and sneaks up his office on sunday afternoon to check if there has been email from Togo. He also wants to know if perhaps Hamza is no longer interested in the deal; time to introduce a colleague-scammer from Burkina Fasso who has also a very tempting deal for Anton. The only thing Hamza has to do is to blow the deal off and Anton will go ahead with the Burkina Fasso-guy. Note that Makalele is a profession soccerplayer and is playing in the French national team)

My dear Hamza Bello,
How are you doing?
Even though today's a sunday, the holy day of God, I was just driving
around the lovely Alabama countryside and suddenly I was thinking: "Why
don't I stop by at the office and check if my good friend Hamza Bello has
sent me an e-mail yet!" I am really starting to get excited about this deal,
so I drove up to the site of my office and persuaded the security guards to
open up my office for me. They have strict orders not to let anyone in the
office during weekends and holidays you know. I might just give them a raise
in their salary, since they performed their duty so well! But alas, to my
dissappointment there was no email from you, my good friend. Is your office
closed on Saturday? Have you lost interest in doing business with us?
If you do not want to continue doing business with us, then that's a
shame, because I got the idea we were becoming good friends. Please let me
know if you don't want to do business with us anymore, so I can contact this
nice gentleman from the Citizen Trust Bank in Burkina Fasso, Dr. Benjamin
Makalele, who sent me an email last friday with an offer to transfer
$150,000,000 dollars into our account of which I get to keep 30%! So please
let me know if our deal is on (that is, if you want to comply to the few
things we demand to make this deal work) or that the deal is off, and I
should go and contact this nice gentleman from Burkina Fasso.
But remember, If you want to continue the deal with our company, please
comply to the demands the company is making. The sooner you comply, the
faster this deal is done.
Your friend and soul-brother,
dr. ir. A.R.S.C.H. (Anton) Mussert, Managing Director

(Maybe it was my last e-mail that convinced him to write me again, but actually I think it was introduction of dr. Benjamin Makalele that urged him to. Or maybe the internetcafé in Lome was closed during the weekend. Anyway, his tone is different, although he ignores the demands Anton and his board of directors are making.)

Thanks,
Yours Brother,
Barr Hamza Bello
He sends me once again his "passport"
(Even though it says in the headers that there is about 6 hours between these two mails, I received them within one hour...But I really do not believe he stays that long online with a dial up connection -check the last two digits of his e-mails; they are constantly changing, which to my knowledge can mean just one thing: a dial up connection OR he is constantly changing his internetcafe...Anyway, I decide to ignore this "hollow" e-mail.)

(Uh oh, Hamza does not comply to Anton's demands -probably because he doesn't have a scanner at home. Time to introduce Hamza's "competator" I created, Dr. Benjamin Makalele. I also created a fake hotmail-adress; let's see if Hamza contacts Benjamin. When writing Benjamin's letter, I tried carefully to misspell the right way. Also it is time to introduce the first notes of the endgame by turning Anton in a lonely old pervert who likes young African girls. Endgame, because Hamza is starting to get boring)

My good friend Hamza,
Thank you for your email! I am delighted to hear that you are a family man!
I would love to see them! Could you send a picture of them? How old is your
daughter exactly? Sixteen or seventeen maybe? I do think we can become good
(business-)friends!
I love to come to your country, just tell me when I have to fly!
But back to business: I am sorry to inform you that if you do not comply to
our company's requirements there will be no deal. Do not think I want you to
be put in an akward position, but since I am monitored by my board of
directors I am obliged to demand these things from you. And by the way: what
do you mean by childish? The picture of you holding the sign with our slogan
will be used for internal purposes, which is a very mature and usual way of
doing business in this part of the US. We, and other companies like us, do
tend to use these pictures for internal and external marketing purposes.
This kind gentleman from Burkina Faso, Benjamin Makalele, did not have any
problem with our demands, in fact, he promised us to deliver the picture and
the document we request before the end of this week. In fact, he promised me
much more. In fact our mutual trust has come to the point where he shares
some deep personal information with me. He offers me his sister as a wife!
Being a widower for almost 20 years now, that seems a very pleasant idea.
Let me show you what was in his email I received from him just today, mind
you, some parts are a little embarrassing for me, but I am sure you will
understand as you are a good friend and probably will understand that a
widower can get lonely sometimes, therefore I have no scrupules to show this
to you:

DR. MAKALELE BENJAMIN
CONTACT ME AT MY EMAIL: makalele_benjamin@hotmail.com
My dear Hamza, you see? If dr. Benjamin Makalele doesn't have any problems
with our demands, you, as a Barrister of highest standards in West Africa,
should not have a problem at all with these simple demands. If it's a
problem for you providing us:
- A picture of you holding a sign with our company slogan "SPUYT ME NOG EENS
LECKER VOL VAERCKENSBEERSAED" and
- A statement of the Togolese government, or any official document at all,
that you are defacto a barrister;
then perhaps we'd better going to deal with dr Benjamin Makalele, since he
doesn't have any problems providing us the requested items and fully
understands the importance of trust and official business and more.
Nevertheless we would like to do business with you, since you were the first
of you two, BUT, please comply with our demands or else we are going to deal
with dr. Benjamin Makalele.
Awaiting your most urgent reply,

(Hm, up until now there is still no response of our Barrister, and I have the slightest notion I won't be hearing from him again. One final attempt to stir him up is to let Benjamin Makalele mail him directly en have him tell Hamza to keep off. Perhaps Hamza will react. If not, then it's fine by me; I got bored with Hamza anyway.)

(Too bad folks, the saga probably ends here. Hamza did not want to send me a picture, and as this was the main goal of this scambaiting, it was boring to be with Hamza Bello. And so my first shot at scambaiting ends...)
