BISHOP ABERNATHY

Colonel Thorn, who had been speaking perfect English, now slips into Russian-English. The lad never notices this glaring discrepancy:

Privet Bishop Abernathy:

 

Mr. Drinkwater instructs me to send you by WU monies for airplane ride to Nederlands or Spain.

I send you monies for one ticket. Why you ask for two tickets? You have no wife. Who now is your companion?

We must know if you have companion so that security is not compromised? Please explain.

 

Tell me where to send WU monies. I will expedite. Most important question: where is Elijah's Dagger? Did

you flee Cameroon without finding dagger? If so, we put in new archeologist to dig. Must find Elijah's dagger

in cave.

 

Okay, so tell me now where to WU your monies and how much for airplane ticket? Advise please. Money

will go out with urgency. Which airline will you arrive on? I will have my agent pick you up and we will

put you in hotel and will have meeting with Mr. Drinkwater.

 

Do Svidaniya,

 

Colonel Zule Thorn

Mrs. Betty (I signed it as Sister Judy because I lost track of who's who) replies to the lad with bad news about the money. She cannot send money by WU to Eze Williams. This will not be so easy:

Dear Bishop Abernathy:

I went to WU to send the money to (Eze Williams) and WU told me that my name is now on their "WATCH LIST." They gave me a piece of paper which said:

"When a sender of money to a person on the banned list is identified, the sender is not allowed to circumvent the banned person list by using alias names for the banned person(s). The sender must therefore file an affidavit under the penalty of perjury stating that they are not seeking to circumvent the law or banned persons list by using alias names. Providing false information to Western Union and its affiliates will subject the sender to severe criminal penalties as specified in their country of residence."

WU said that the only way I could send Eze Williams money was if he filled out the form and then sent the form with $50.00 for what is called a "Conditional Use Permit." I can then send the $7600 to Eze Williams or you for on the condition that it is for church-related work. I cannot pay the $50 according to WU. It has to come from Eze Williams with the form. If you want to do this, I will send $7650, but in any case we still need the form sent to some bureau that WU has handling this matter. I feel like WU is treating me like a criminal and all I am trying to do is to help a man of God. I feel like crying.

I just had my photograph taken for the annual report. I am attaching a copy for you.

Love in Christ,

Sister Judy
Here is the WU "Conditional Use Permit" form Mrs. Judy sent; it was made by the brilliant RevRKK:

DEAR SISTER JUDY,

WELL ARE YOU BACK FROM MANILA, THANK GOD YOU HAD A SAVE JOURNEY. WELL THOSE THAT
WANTED TO HELP, MR. EZE WILLIAMS AND CHIKE JAMES HAS DECIDED TO DISCONTINUE WITH
THE HELP. FOR REASONS BEST KNOWN TO THEM.
BUT COME TO IT, I HAVE BEEN MEETING THE WRONG PEOPLE SINCE I CAME HERE, NOW YOU
TOLD ME THAT COLONEL THORN IS IN NIGERIA FOR WHAT AND HE NEEDED VERY BIG SUM OF
MONEY FOR WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT. I STILL THINK I AM NOT SAVE HERE BUT I DO
NOT KNOW PEOPLE TO AVOID AND PEOPLE TO MEET.
NOW WHERE IS SISTER BETTY, I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND YOU PEOPLE ANY MORE.
I WILL WANT TO TALK TO MR. DRINKWATER CAN I HAVE IS TELEPHONE NUMBER. OR WILL
YOU SEND ME SOME OF THE MONEY TO AN ACCOUNT AS THE WU DO NOT ALLOW ANY OF YOU TO
SEND MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO ACCEPT ASSISTING ME TO CLAIM THE MONEY. THAT ALSO
MAKES ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL, THE HOTEL OWN MR. WILLIAMS AND MR. JAMES WHO OWNS A
TRAVELLING AGENCY IN THE HOTEL, I LOOK TO THEM LIKE A CRIMINAL RUNNING AWAY FROM
SOME KIND OF CRIME COMMITTED SO MANY OF THEM DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MUCH WITH ME.
BUT MY PERSONAL PROBLEMS IS THAT MORE PEOPLE HERE KNOWS MY IDENTITY NOW. I HAVE
TO MOVE OUT OF HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU ARE STILL INTERSETED IN SENDING THE MONEY ME, THEN DO IT TO THIS A/C-

BANQUE BANORABE
38-40 AVE DES CHAMPS ELYSESS 75008
PARIS
SWIFT CODE: BANOFRPP
A/C NO: 2600282610176
BENEF: T.T. INTERNATIONAL
 
AS WU DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO DO IT THROUGH THEN.
WELL OR LET ME LOOK INTO OTHER OPTION BEFORE ME AND KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND I AM NO LONGER FEELING SAVE HERE SO I WILL LEAVE I WANT TO
LEAVE SOON.

THANKS AND BYE
MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
YOURS IN CHRIST

Mrs, Betty will not allow the lad to ignore the WU form; she also hints at problems with Colonel Thorn:

Dear Bishop Abernathy:

I am still waiting for you to send me to WU form so I can send you the money. WU will not allow me to send you money unless I return the
form. I have the money ready to send. I thought you urgently needed the money. On another matter, have you heard from Colonel Thorn? He has
disappeared and not reported in for duty at headquarters. He said he had urgent personal business to handle. He just called in to ask me to send him expense money by WU and so I sent him some money. Yet I just checked his bank balance at Drinkwater Financial Services and he has deposited a total of $76,350 in cash in the last four days. I assume this is coming from the religious crusade you are holding. Is Colonel Thorn at your religious crusade, Bishop? If so, why is he depositing money for your church in his personal account?

This is so unusual. Colonel Thorn now has over $200,000 in just one of his accounts and I don't know which churches it is coming from. Sometimes he
couriers money for the churches so it is safe, but this is a lot of money from a crusade in Abuja. We usually only collect $6,000 or so.Mr. Drinkwater is gone and I don't know what to do. Mr. Drinkwater is in Europe on private business and asked not to be disturbed. So what is happening? And where is the WU form? I want to send you money and I just can't. I don't know why everything is crazy and mixed up right now.

Yours in Christ,
Sister Betty

The lad does not like the form and he never filled it out. Instead, he again tries to circumvent the form by asking Mrs. Betty to send money to a bank account and not through WU, thereby avoiding the form:

DEAR MRS. BETTY,

I HAVE GIVEN THE WU FORM TO MR. EZE WILLIAMS WHO INSIST ON CONSULTING HIS
ATTORNEY BEFORE DOING ANY THING. MR JAMES ALSO HAS GOTTEN IS ATTORNEY TO ACT ON
THE ON HIS BEHALF. YOU SEE I MR. EZE WILLIAMS OWNS THE HOTEL I AM PUT UP FOR NOW. BUT I DO NOT
DISCLOSE MY TOTAL IDENTITY TO HIM FOR SECURITY PURPOSE. MR JAMES OWN A
TRAVELLING AGENCY WHICH I INTEND USE FOR TICKETING FOR THE TRIP. BUT NOW THEY
HAVE KNOWN ME I WILL WANT TO LEAVE HERE VERY SOON.
MR EZE WILLIAMS INSIST ON GETTING THEIR ATTORNEYS TO REACT TO THE WU FORM, SO
THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME, HE DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS SHOULD BE SO.
WELL I HAVE NOW TO GO TO A REV. HERE AND TELL HIM MY PROBLEMS. THEN HE ACCEPT TO
ASSIST, BUT HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE MONEY IS MUCH, IT SHOULD BE SEND TO TWO,
THEN HE GAVE ME THIS NAMES AND ADVICE YOU NOT TO USE ONE WU OFFICE, AND DO NOT
USE THE SAME WU OFFICE.
THE NAMES ARE

MRS. MARLEEN M. DESHASC---NIGERIA
MR. CHUKWUKA R. OGUGUA-----NIGERIA

THE TWO OF THE ARE PERSONAL ASSIST TO THE REV. THEIR WILL BE NO PROBLEM WITH
THEM.

I AM VERY SORRY FOR THE PROBLEMS THIS HAS BEEN COURSING YOU.
PLEASE I HOPE I CAN MEET UP WITH MR. DRINKWATER IN EUROPE. REMAIN BLESSED

YOUR'S IN CHRIST.

Sister Betty offers a curt reply to the lad's suggestion that monies be sent to a corporate account:

Dear Bishop Abernathy:

Mr. Drinkwater said he will give you some money as a donation, but that he will not deposit any money into the corporate account you have provided. He said to remind you that you are not allowed to mix God's money with any corporate investments you may have.

Mr. Drinkwater also said that he can have Rev. Porter meet you with some money. Rev. Porter is in Cotonou at the moment, but can travel to meet you in Lagos. I assume you are in Lagos?

Mr. Drinkwater wants you to meet Rev. Porter in person to give a full account of what happened and why you fled Cameroon and what happened with the Crystal Cave. Once you have filed a report in person, Rev. Porter will arrange for you to receive $15,000 for your 2004 stipend.
The Board of Directors of the Elohim Society has said that they will not send you any money, however, until you give Rev. Porter a full report in person.

When you abandoned the Crystal Cave project you disappointed many people who had so earnestly prayed that Elijah's Dagger -- the most Holy of the Seven Relics of Gad -- would be found. Yet we understood that people, strangers, were trying to kill you. Still, you have to file a report to settle this matter.

On another issue, Colonel Thorn is in Nigeria and he keeps making very large cash deposits into his personal accounts. He says the money is from religious crusades and that he is working as the bodyguard to Pastor David Achia of Maranatha Ministries. Do you know this Pastor David Achia? We have never heard of him or his ministry. We are suspicious because Colonel Thorn left in such a hurry. Has Colonel Thorn contacted you? He has not checked in with us since last week and this is not like him. He usually calls everyday. Please let me know if Colonel Thorn contacts you. Tell him that Mr. Drinkwater has ORDERED HIM TO CALL ASAP. Use the code phrase, "J. DOG SAYS HELLO." Mr. Drinkwater urgently needs to send Colonel Thorn some funds for a special mission mandated by the Elohim Society.

Mr. Drinkwater is busy with other matters and has asked me to liase with you. Mr. Drinkwater has many people on his personal staff and so I understand why it is difficult for you to keep track of everyone. You too seem to have many friends and acquaintances. Whatever happened to Mr. Usman Bello? He wrote me an e-mail the other day asking me to send him $5,000 so he could get the tax stamps. Mr. Drinkwater told me to ignore him. He is some kind of con man I think.

Father Thurgood told me to send you his regards and asked me to ask you where you wanted the 25 Yamaha electrical generators you ordered last July shipped. He said they are the 20,000 watt generators for the YWAM crusades that Campus for Christ is helping you conduct in April. The generators are here and we are ready to send them by DHL. Please advise.

Yours in Christ,

Sister Betty

PS: Sister Judy Smythe is still in Manila with her friend Lourdes La Palma.
 

The lad replies, but whines about not being treated fairly. He demands money:
 

Dear Betty,
I have tried to contact Colonel Zulu; I am waiting for his email. I will tell you out rightly that I do not like the way you are treating me.
I am now dry up now. Please send me the money, tell Mr. Drinkwater That I am complaining out the treatment I am being given.
The a/c I sent is not a business a/c but if money is been transferred into it with the payment slip the company that owns the a/c will give me the money here in their local currency. I hope you can send me the money asap.
BA
 

Sister Betty mentions a growing concern about Colonel Thorn:

Dear Bishop Abernathy:
 
Colonel Thorn will not answer my e-mails. Can you please try to contact him?
Maybe he will answer you. Something is very wrong. Please use the code
phrase, "J. Dog Says Hello." This is very urgent, repeat: VERY, VERY URGENT.

Who is this Pastor David Achia? We fear trouble!
 
Regards,
 
Sister Betty

Colonel Thorn suddenly reappears in a very menacing manner. By cross-checking with other scambaiters at the 419eater board, I find that this same lad has attempted to con a colleague of mine at 419eater.com by using the name of Eze Williams. He even sent a photo of himself as Eze Williams. In order to prove his KGB credentials, the Colonel produces the picture of Eze Williams which comes courtesy of my colleague. The lad has to think that Colonel Thorn hacked his computer. It also shows the power and reach of our scambaiting network:

The lad then responds to Colonel Thorn:
