COLONEL THORN P1

Note: Do not worry about keeping track of all the characters right now. They will all easily unfold to you as you read.

BISHOP ABERNATHY -- 419 GUYMAN aka "MARK THE LAD" aka "JAMES CHUME" aka "MICHAEL WILLIAMS'"

ARTHUR ANDERSON -- MY SCAMBAITING FRIEND YOSSARIN. HE WILL POSE AS A "MAGA" (IN NIGERIAN = FOOL) NAMED "ARTHUR ANDERSON" WHOM THE COLONEL AND "MARK THE LAD" WILL SCAM

VLADIMIR STOYANICHIA -- ONE OF MY CHARACTERS WHO WILL WORK WITH MARK THE LAD TO SCAM ARTHUR ANDERSON.

Colonel Zule Thorn, hereinafter "CZT" opens this scambait by laying his cards on the table:

Is Best Regards,

Colonel Zule Thorn

"Big head " and "you can... raise cattle" are Nigerian phrases, both insults. The lad does not answer and so CZT writes to him again:

Comrade:

Is what country are you being live in? What is cell phone number? I levae Nigeria for new country.

Is American couple coming with $50,000 and I have to change them to other country. Big head, you want to help with this couple? I need to have them fly to your country? Where you at? I need to set up this meeting with couple for next week. I can send you all details on them. Job is all ready for them to fly over. Here is picture of couple proves I have magas ready:

Is couple of newlywed magas just get much money from inheritrance. Couple is greedy, man no want to work. Wants to play golf all day and live like fat slob king. Wife want big house and servants so she can get lazy and big fat ass. Already they send me $22,000 and $5,000 and are bringing over $50,000. But where? I need country. I need African man pretend he is NNPC Director of Contracts as say script on job. I can say trunkboxes in other country and they will fly where I say. Here is ID card used on job:

I take off name and title. I show you card for to see job is real and I trust you. But couples name and e-mail is what needed to get money and to get couple to lfly over. I control that part of job,. Just need you to be NNPC man and so if you look not same, so what? Most pictures look not like real life person, ja? Give me cellphone and ideas on what to do next and where to do job. Otherwise I can hire other guyman.

Do Svidaniya,

Colonel Zule Thorn

DEAR COMRADE,

IN NIGERIA RIGHT NOW, LET ME HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER. YOU CAN CALL ME ON 234823017238, KEEP TRYING IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING THRU. NETWORK HERE IS BAD. THEN WE CAN TALK.

Lionel Drinkwater reappears and writes a letter to James Chume, the original con artist. The Barrister in the original James Chume scam was Michael Williams. Watch, however, as Chume quickly disappears and Williams re-emerges as the attorney. In watching this lad, I know he likes to use his Barrister Michael Williams persona.

Dear Mr. Chume:

You are a barrister and I need legal help. One of my employees is in trouble in Nigeria. He escaped from the police last night and had some
$100,000 in American dollars. I would like to get him safely out of the country into Cameroon. How much would you charge to help me? He is in
hiding at present and called me on his cell phone. We cannot use the airports as the police are watching. What are your thoughts? I think the
police just wanted to get the money. I don't think this employee has done anything against the law. He is a former military man and is very
resourceful. He will be able to stay in hiding until we can get him a new passport with a different name on it.

I am also having a problem with another person in Nigeria. What does the law in say Nigeria about firing a minister from his position ? I have a minister I want to fire as I think he is lying to me and is perhaps using heroin as he as formerly a heroin addict.

These are complex questions and I need legal counsel. Please advise on your
fees.

Regards,

Lionel Drinkwater

Chume's reply looked liked it was printed and then scanned. Maybe the lad is being cautious?

DEAR LD,

I CAN HANDLE THE TWO CASES.

FIRST THE CASE OF YOUR EMPLOYEE I CAN GET HIM OUT OF NIGERIA TO CAMEROON WITHOUT USING THE AIRPORT. I HAVE TO SPEAK WITH HIM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND WHERE HE IS.

WELL AS THIS REQUIRES LAGAL AND PHYSICAL ASSIST I WILL BE ASKING FOR $35,000. I WILL NEED HIS TELEPHONE NUMBER TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM.

IT MAY TAKE SOME DAYS TO GET HIM OUT WITHOUT THE POLICE KNOWING ABOUT.

THEN I WILL GIVE YOU AN ADDRESS WHERE YOU WILL SEND THE PASSPORT.

WELL AS TO YOUR MINISTER WHAT DO WANT TO DO, SEE HIM TALK SENCES INTO HIM AND GETTING HIM STOP HEROIN DO WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO DO. SO IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU.

TILL I AM SURE THEN I WILL GIVE YOU MY CHARGES. BUT I THINK THAT’S A SMALL PROBLEM.

IF MY FEES ARE OKAY WITH YOU, THEN MAKE THE PAYMENT THIS WAY.

$7,000 TO THE BELOW NAME AND ADDRESS FOR A START. THAT IS IF YOU WANT ME TO ACT IMMEDIATELY

ONYEBUCHI LINUS OBIANO

ADDRESS- COTONOU, BENIN REPUBLIC

THEN AFTER TALKING WITH YOUR EMPLOYEE ON PHONE I WILL GIVE A BANK A/C TO PAY IN $20,000 THEN TRAVEL TO NIGERIA TO SEE YOUR EMPLOYEE AFTER CONFIRMING THE PAYMENT INTO MY A/C I WILL ARRANGE ON HOW TO MOVE HIM TO CAMEROON, I WILL RECEIVE THE BALANCE IN NIGERIA, I MAY NEED TO SPEND MONEY THERE.

HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU SOONEST.

CHUME

Dear Mr. Chume:

Colonel Thorn has disappeared without a trace in Nigeria. He disconnected his cell phone and I have no way of getting in touch with him. The Colonel also withdrew a huge sum of cash from his accounts with my bank. He took out over $200,000 USD. Colonel Thorn knows criminals from his days in the KGB and so may have turned to crime.

I suspect that Colonel Thorn somehow met up with Bishop Abernathy because the Bishop knew I was going to have to fire him for insubordination. Bishop Abernathy knows secrets about my organization that I do not want known. I am afraid that the Colonel will bribe Bishop Abernathy with heroin to tell him all of my secrets. If I have to I will bribe both Colonel Thorn and Bishop Abernathy to keep their mouths shut about how I run my organization. There are too many secrets I do not want known and Bishop Abernathu knows almost everything.

I have no problem paying you the $35,000 but as of the moment I have no idea where either of these two men are or how to find them. I will just have to wait and see if they contact me. If they do, I will contact you.

Regards,

LD

DEAR LD,

OKAY I WILL WAIT TILL YOU CAN GET ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THEM.

IF YOU HAVE THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS I CAN USE THAT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM AND SEE IF I CAN HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM.

I THINK THAT WILL BE OKAY.

CHUME

Comrade:

I threw away old cell phone. Was being monitored by authorities. I have small satellite dish is made from cloth and I can fold and put in pocket. No one can trace satellite e-mails! Will buy disposable cell phone this weekend that have on it 100 minutes. Only ever buy 100 minutes then throw away. Keep cell too long and they can triangulate signal. No good. I will call you when I buy disposable phone.

Hey, I am in The Netherlands. Can you fly over for to meet me? Is Anderson couple wants to come here next week but I need

African to pose as NNPC boss. I tell Andersons trunkboxes are in security company and so they say okay, will come here.

Deal is close. Can you fly over to help? We meet somewhere safe, maybe lobby of motel or at Schilpol? Somewhere must be public. I send you my picture. You send me your picture.

I stay low. Have old KGB friend to help keep me secret. Is good to know people all over world like I do. I finish a few jobs then I go somewhere else. I only need to make maybe $200,000 more and then I be set for many years with money I already have. How long you think is take to make $200,000 doing jobs?

Is no good for Russian in Africa. Is better for Russian in Holland, Russian blends in better. I speak little Dutch to get by. So can you fly over for us to do one time job with Andersons, you show me how is done right way? Bring partners if you need. We keep private and confidfential, ja? I get hotel room and chaffeured limosine to do job.

I was in internet cafe and see guymen. They look at me. They know I guyman too. All want to know my jobs and ask why Russian doing job meant for African. I tell them go to hell. Is job enough for everyone. They laugh and say "you dey yarn opaks" which is means what?

Do Svidaniya,

Colonel Zule Thorn

COMRADE,

WELL RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT TRAVEL TO NETHERLAND, BUT IF YOUR CLIENTS ARE WILLING AND ABLE BRING

THEM HERE WE CAN TAKE THEM TO BANK WITH YOU THAT WAY IT WILL BE BIGGER MONEY. TO THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA. GET ME YOUR PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS. THEN REACH ME WITH DETAILS I WILL GIVE ADVICE. OR THEY CAN BE PAID THROUGH THE PAYING OFFICE IN BENIN REP. THEN IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN TWO STEPS. YOU CAN MAKE MORE $200,000 FROM THEM. BYE HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOONEST.

So now "Bishop Abernathy" admits he is a 419 criminal and also admits that a 419 conman can make more than $200,000 from their victims once they get them into Africa. Disgusting but true. This shows the premeditated thievery the lads engage in to destroy people financially, often destroying their souls in the process.

Comrade:

Okay, I will have Anderson couple come to Nigeria. Is Lagos? This laptop with satellite link is secure. What signal I send into sky in encrypted. What I download from you is encrypted. Friend in Russian Space Agency (RKA) takes care of privacy of this e-mail address so no worry. Is Kremlin level security. I pay him back with favor in Moscow of arranging free apartment and car for his Mistress. Is no problem, we Russians help our comrades.

So I can be safely in Nigeria week of 14 March 04. I arrive by my own means. No worry about me that way. Where I tell Andersons to stay? What hotel? What airline?

How you guarantee my safety in this transaction? I need only 50% of monies and then I give you laptop after I make $200,000 total. Laptop belonged to how you say is "Don"? Boss man? Is picture with wife he sends to magas:

So deal is this: You help me make $200,000 and guarantee my safety. Then I give you laptop belonged to this Don. Is full of marvelous information from three years. Man had ten people work for him. I still get e-mails on his laptop. Some are not so good, some ask for money back from people he guyed. Some e-mails still ask where to send WU monies. Is strange how people beg to be guyed. Is free money for they hope to get millions of dollars. I have maga in Cincinati which is in US, is wanting to know when he can come to get his trunbox full of money. He even e-mailed me picture of trunkbox to remind me.

Guy, how long you do jobs? I grow up in Moscow stealing to support myself and Mother. Is all I could do in 1960's so I know it is hard to make living. When I join Soviet Army in 1976, I get recruited to KGB to do work in Afghanistan and then Biafra. Was able to steal from everyone when I was in KGB. I was feared because KGB is all powerful in Soviet Union. After many years, I become Colonel in Moscow and travel world. Then comes Perestrokia and is not so good for me. Then I leave KGB and work as private detective. Do investigations for wealthy clients in West. Make much money but still do some of my own jobs on side to make money. Once thief, always thief, ja?

Send details of how we do this job. I will then have Andersons contact you and you take over job. This is satifactory arrangement in exchange for laptop and help to make me $200,000? Not greedy. Want to do one last job and then go retire in small village with nice dacha and servants.

Do Svidaniya,

Colonel Zule Thorn

An alarming note is suddenly sent from Drinkwater Headquarters:

[Original Message]

From: Lionel Drinkwater

To: <bishopabernathy@voila.fr>

Date: 3/7/2004 7:54:53 AM

Subject: URGENT TO ALL E LEVEL MEMBERS

THIS IS A REBROADCAST OF YESTERDAY'S MESSAGE FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT RECEIVE

IT:

WITH EFFECT FROM 06 MARCH 04 COLONEL ZULE THORN IS TERMINATED AS DIRECTOR OF

SOCIETY HAS TAKEN THIS ACTION DUE TO COLONEL THORN'S EMBEZZLEMENT OF

$3,000,000 FROM THE BANKING ACCOUNTS OF DRINKWATER VENTURES LLC. AND THE

ELOHIM SOCIETY.

THIS THEFT WAS PERPETRATED VIA THE INTERNET BY COLONEL THORN USING SECRET

PASSWORDS. THE THEFT IS COVERED BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. NO PUBLIC MENTION

WILL MADE OF THE THEFT.

THE ELOHIM SOCIETY HAS RAISED THE "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" REWARD ON COLONEL

PLEASE NOTIFY THE ELOHIM SOCIETY IF HE CONTACTS YOU AND WE WILL CONTACT THE

AUTHORITIES VIA OUR LEGAL STAFF.

YOURS IN CHRIST,

MRS. BETTY FERGUSON

This letter was sent to see if the lad would betray CZT for the reward. The lad does not approach Drinkwater for a few days and so CZT responds to lad concerning these very serious charges:

Comrade,

The note (sent by Drinkwater) is a lie. Is Mr. Drinkwater who steals his own $3,000,000 and blames me. He even has nerve to send me copy of e-mail he sent you and other E Level members to taunt me. He has no shame. I take some money from him, but is what he owes me, maybe $300,000 or so. Now he goes to Interpol and FBI and says I steal money. Is I think Mrs. Judy Smythe is in conspiracy with Mr. Drinkwater to frame me. If I had $3,000,000 would have no need to do jobs. Could retire and tell world to go to hell. Have no more contact with Mr. Drinkwater. He is dangerous man. He will tell lies about you if he has chance. He is uses peoples.

I have Anderson couple ready to come to Nigeria. Is job ready on your end? Guy, what you need from me to do Anderson job?

Do Svidaniya,

Colonel Zule Thorn

COMRADE,

YEA, STOPOVER HOTEL LTD, HIS A GOOD HOTEL; IT’S ALONG AIR PORT ROAD. I WILL GET MY CONTACT’S READY TO TAKE HIM TO BANK, AFTER THEM BILLS CONTINUE BEFORE WE TAKE W/W THAT IS THE ONE YOU TALKED ABOUT.

I HOPE YOUR CLIENTS HAS MONEY IF THEY DO THEY WILL PAY WELL.

I WILL CONFIRM TO THEY THAT C.B.N WENT TO PAY THEM DIRECTLY.

BUT WE WILL SIT WITH THEM FISRT B4 TAKING THEM TO THE BANK.

YOU ARE VERY SAFE HERE; JUST DO NOT LET MR. DRINKWATER TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR MOVEMENT. HE TOLD YOU ARE IN NETHERLAND, BUT AS YOU KNOW I CAN WORK WITH HIM IS NOT A GUY.

CZT now butters up the lad by promising to get him a great deal of money from Lionel. He also tells the lad of an evil plot. All misspellings in CZT's letters are intentional and intended to show that English is his second language. In this next letter, CZT tells the lad that the real Bishop Abernathy died several months ago. However, the lad will continue to pretend to Lionel that the Bishop is alive:

Comrade:

Your help means much to mean. I will repay favor of trust. I will tell Anderson couple to fly to Lag next week.

Cannot come this week as wife has some doctor appontment. Husband wnats to come alone. I say no, is no good,

bank must have both man and wife for to sign papers. Have snet pictures of trunkboxes. Say that bank decides

to keep money in Lag and not send to Holland to save couple $12,500 USD in transfer costs, so I cover my stroy that

money was to be moved.

I wrote LD and told him I would go to Interpol with facts of his fraud which I obtained from Russian Intelligence.

Told him he must withdraw charges and now his attorney is calling to drop charges against me. But I say is not enough. I tell

LD he must settle insult to me with $250,000 or I sue for defamation of my character. He agrees. I then tell him,

and you will like, that he MUST settle with Mr. Barrister Michael William old bill of $25,000 and MUST settle

with Bishop Abernathy for $50,000.

I tell LD that Barrister Williams and Bishop Abernathy are Men of God who protect me in time of my great trouble.

But guy, you must know this: The real Bishop Abernathy died in October, 2003, of pnumonea. I was in Cameroon

alone with Bishop when he died. I bury him in secret and keep sneding of e-mails in his name. I then was monitoring

LD's e-mails and had him send Bishop Abernathy's e-mail to you when I first see that maybe you are a player. I think.

"maybe this guy can help me in future." So I was behind scenes trying to get you money and Range Rover. LD was ready

to give you $25,00 and Range Rover until both claims for $25,000 come in with same signature. I was even the man

who tell him to e-mail you Dr. Crocker's signature to satisfy Judy Smythe.

LD asked me to analyze and I say, "Mr. Chume and Mr. Williams okay, should pay them. Is normal in Afrique to amend

documents this way. Not to worry, LD." Then LD get mad after you sent two claims with same signature and this caused

Judy Smythe to go is, how to say, batshit crazy?

But say, "No need to call authorities. That only cause publicity

we not need." LD agrees. He thinks is all honest mistake and lets go. Stupid, evil woman Judy Smythe then writes you nasty letter. Calls you and Williams thief. Inside I laugh at how stupid is Judy. So I tell LD to order her to got to Manila

for three months to cool down. She goes over to see lesbian lover Lourdes La Palma and then they arrange with LD

behind my back to steal $3,000,000 using my name! Is Judy's way of getting even with me and getting money. Her and LD

were going to split 50/50. But Lourdes La Palma has loose tongue in bar when she is alone and I hire young, beautiful

lesbian espionage agent to loosen Lourdes tongue with alcohol and sex, ja? Is KGB way and works. I take secret photos

of sex session. Watch out Judy! Is not good to cross Zule Thorn! I hope photos not become public nor details of you

stealing $3,000,000. I already tell LD how to cover his tracks so it looks like Judy did it all herself.

Guy, I will be out of touch for three or four days while I take care of Judy Smythe with old friends from KGB. She

will be, how they say in US, fucked over? Ja. She will be fucked over big time. But LD? No. Is not safe to fuck over

LD. He is very, very, very powerful man. Has unbelivable power and friends in high places. Better to leave him alone.

He is not man to mess with. He knows getting Judy is my price for his crime against me and he will be okay.

As long as others pay price he not care. Big man like him uses people and then throws them away, ja? Is way of power.

Cannot fight way of power. Only lose if you fight power. Must cooperate with power to be powerful. Is hard lesson,

but is truth.

So in conclusion: I will call Andersons. What day you want them to land in Lag week of 14 March 04? Please to advise

and I will handle. I will get intoi Lag my own way, no worry.

Do Svidaniya,

Colonel Zule Thorn

Barrister Michael Williams quickly reappears to make a financial demand upon Lionel Drinkwater. Williams has doggedly insisted for five months now that Drinkwater owes him money for so-called "legal services" which consisted merely of e-mailing a fake death certificate of a fake dead guy:
