Dear Mr. Douglas:
 
This transaction is of interest to me. However, I am a cautious man and would like more details.
It is not everyday that a stranger offers me a $22,000,000 once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How is
it that you got my name and private e-mail address? I live in my own island in Tahiti and use a satellite connection
that is routed through San Jose, California for my internet. I am very hard to get in touch with an prefer it this
way. My Uncle just died. Did he give you my contact information?
 
Regards,
 
Lionel Drinkwater, Esq.
CEO
Drinkwater Financial Services
 
My Dear,
 
I must first of all, thank you for your response
irrespective of my offer. My dear this transaction is
very clean and risk free in the sense that I am the
only one that knows about this transaction and again
this money is not stolen money but a contract sum. So
my dear this is an agreement between the contractor
and me before the contract was awarded to him. I will
go step by step to throw more light on the transaction
to you, believing that this time, you will see more
reasons to believe me.
 
Concerning the point, you raised, is not your dead
uncle that gave me your contact, i got to know you,
when my country had a similar here in Nigeria, with
your Country Chambers of commerce, so base on
recomemdation, i strongly believes you can assist me
to get this money out from Nigeria, My dear, i am not
a small boy, so just feel free and coporate with me
OK.
 
This said money (US$22M) is an over-invoiced amount,
which I personally made possible, as it is the vogue
here in my country Nigeria. An opportunity of this
nature is not one to be toiled with. Past
administrators has done it and that proves their
expensive lifestyle and display of wealth in public.
When I was left with the duty of overseeing the work
on the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the Kaduna and
Warri refineries, in 1997, it was then that my own
chance to make it came. And it was then that I was
able to inflate the contract amount by the tune of
US$22M which is now lying in the covers of the NNPC
under the care of our apex bank (The Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN)). And the system I need to get the money
out is what I want you to assist me with. A Company
name of your choice, or even your existing company
will be registered here in Nigeria under the Nigeria
companies and allied matters decree.
 
And again what I mean by over-invoice is by the time
the contract was awarding I now make an agreement with
the original contractor that I will add additional
US$22M together with his money due to I was in
position to do that been the head of my department and
it was my department that is in control of the site.
 
My dear don't worry your self because I have made all
the necessary arrangement in my department to avoid
any mistake that is why you have to keep this very
secret, is only both of us that knows about this,
please make sure no one knows about this OK. To enable
us be like order rich people and we will continue
laughing for the rest of our life, your BANK NAME,
BANK ADDRESS, your ACCOUNT NUMBER, ACCOUNT NAME, your
PHONE NUMBER and FAX NUMBER. I believe that is all.
 
I hope this would have shed more light to you on the
project. Note upon application, we will then wait for
approval of the payment and subsequent transfer of the
money into the account that you will provide as the
company's account. And moreover I am putting all the
necessary information in place concerning this
business. To avoid any mistake.
 
My dear, you don't need to be afraid of anything
because I will furnish you with all the necessary
information about the contract. Because I have put in
place all the necessary things to conclude the
transaction, and also reply me back on
this new email address (joedouglas_2003@yahoo.co.uk)
as my secetary has the access to the former one in
plasa, and also open the attach file is my staff id
card.
 

I am waiting for your call and urgent reply.

 
Thanks and God bless you.
 
Engr. Douglas.
 

Dear Mr. Douglas:

 
Thank you for the clarifying information.
Here is the data you requested. Please keep it confidential:
 
BANK NAME: Grand Cayman Royale Banque /Private Banking Section
BANK ADDRESS: Grand Cayman Islands
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 148563
SWIFT CODE 00cvb5.009 (call to preauthorize with secret code)
ACCOUNT NAME: Drinkwater Ventures, LLC
PHONE NUMBER: I use a marine band radio as I live on an island. There is no cell service
FAX NUMBER: I must use a satellite relay via an American internet service. Can you transmit documents by e-mail?
 
Please keep in mind that PRIVACY is the watchword here. I have moved huge sums of money before and will need
to be kept apprised of all modalities. The Reverend Doctor E. Dwayne Looper is my associate and he may be involved.
The Rev. Dr. Looper is the President of the Tahitian Pentecostal Association and is an extremely powerful man who refers to
Sir Charles Wheatley-Hume as his patron. Sir Wheatley-Hume can make anything happen should we need his help.
 
Good Day,
 
Lionel Drinkwater, Esq.
 
PS: Please do not call me "Dear." That particular form of address is reserved only for women in my culture. I know you meant no insult, but a man who was not charitable - as I am -- might think you were a homosexualist. You are not a homosexualist or a pederast are you? That would be very disturbing indeed as I am a devout Christian and cannot associate myself with these sorts of ungodly reprobates.
 

 

My Brother,
 
Thanks very much for the informations, no problem
right now, i will follow up everything and make sure
your informations are kept very safety. I will let you
as soon as i forward your informations OK.
 
Meanwhile, you can call me on my direct line
234-1-7768843. I will be waiting for your call, while,
i will contacting you through email OK.
 
Thanks and remain bless.
 
Engr. Douglas.

 

Engineer Joe then sends another e-mail to clarify that he is a Christian:

My Brother,
 
How are you? In respect of your mail, my dear, even
myself is a christian, about all you said, Really, you
don't know me right now, but with time, we will both
see and know each other more better. Anyway, by
tomorrow i will send you my picture. Pls. you can also
send to me your staff Id card and picture as well.
 
Like i told you told i have take note, now, you have
to note onething, because i am going to submitt your
informations, to the federal Ministry of Finance, by
tomorrow, as in partnership with ATLAS CONSTRUCTIONS
NIG. LTD. this is the company that did the contract
here in nigeria, and the nigeria government have paid
them $25 million, since in the record, it was $47
million and 25 have be paid still remaining 22, so
that note on this, because i know as soon as they got
your informations, surely they will contact you
concerning that, so you have to take note on some
necessary points. Because first thing tomorrow morning
my lawyer will submit it.
 
And, again we will leave an instructions with them, to
me contacting you through only this email
(my scambaiting account) 
 
Thanks.
 
Engr. Douglas.
 
In this next letter, I begin to lay out my strategy to get a sample of Engineer Joe's DNA. Part of scambaiting requires the taking of detours to get the lad as far off track as possible. Left to their own devices, the lads are boors who will always focus on when you will send the money by WU. The goal in scambaiting is to control the agenda by making all sorts of demands and creating time-consuming diversions -- which hopefully cost the lads money in internet cafe fees or in other ways.

Dear Brother Douglas:

 
Attached please find my employee ID card. Please treat it confidentially. It contains biometric data that you cannot access.

 

         (Bill Murray, one of my favorite actors and comedians, is here cast in the role of Lionel Drinkwater)

 

In order to transact business above $1,000,000 USD, I will require a DNA sample from you. I assume you will not have a problem with mailing me a sample of your hair for DNA sampling. This will be necessary if, for example, we meet and I transfer to you any sum of money. When we meet I will be able to check your DNA with a portable device to ensure that you are indeed the same person with whom I have been corresponding.
 
This is a new protocol in international cash exchanges and it ensures the safety of our transaction. I began using biometric technology after I was almost swindled of $175,000 in cash in Miami, Florida, by a man posing as an agent of the CIA. Fortunately, his DNA proved to be false and, as we were meeting in a public place, I was able to walk away with my money and my life. We cannot take any chances in a transaction of the magnitude you are proposing. After we transfer the monies, I will fly you on my Citation X business jet to my private island so that we may celebrate.
 
I am a considered a Chieftain in Tahiti and have 27 wives and 42 concubines. Life is very good and I shall make sure you are feted in style at the conclusion of our transaction. You shall have wine, women, song and I will gift you with a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow V. It is said in wealthy private circles that Lionel Drinkwater knows how to treat his friends and clients as if they were the kings of the earth.
 
Regards,
 
Lionel Drinkwater

Drinkwater is such a tempter! He certainly knows how to play to the greed, lasciviousness, and the other appetites of the flesh so common to the mugus. Yet like Mephistoles, Drinkwater requires a little blood or a little part of your body to seal the deal.

My Brother,
 
How are you today? Thanks very much concerning your
efforts and contribution, My dear, you don't have any
problem OK, because every of your data is keeping very
safe by me, no one will see it, even my own wife so
feel relax and let just keep on praying for everything
to work out fine OK, about the DNA text, you have no
problem on that, as soon as the money is in your
account, then we will now follow that up, as i will be
coming over, because i don't want any of my own share
to bring into nigeria.
 
Right now, the moment we are waiting for as come, as i
have submitted your informations to the ministry this
morning, so concerning the points that i raised to
you, just keep them in mind, OK. Anyway, you should
open the attach filed is my international passport and
picture that i took with my sweet wife, maybe when i
come over to you, i will learn how to get upto 20-30
wives, brother you are really a strong man, i so much
praise you on that, but please make sure you take good
care of your chlidrens and wives, because it is very
necessary OK.
 
Thanks and remain bless.
 
Engr. Douglas.

Engineer Joe wants his money first and only then will he give DNA. In lieu of DNA, Engineer Joe offers his passport and a picture of he and his wife.

Next we see Engineer Joe sprawled out on a sofa with his big smelly mugu feet on his wife's lap. What a lucky woman she is to be married to such a trophy husband!

The man in the passport is not the same man seen in the employee ID card or even the same man seen with his wife. None of the three "Engineer Joe Douglas" photos show the same man. The lads commonly do this sort of thing and it is astonishing to believe that people accept these bogus, mismatched photos and actually send money. This shows how greed can blind the victims of 419 scams, for it causes them to deny obvious photographic discrepancies.
