Right, lets get back to Chinweoke's battle with Thomas Cook. Monday morning arrives, and Chinweoke is getting rather impatient for his payment.

 

From: Chinweoke Trevor Nwauzor
To: Thomas Cook
Subject: ARE MY EMAILS NOT INVALID TODAY?

DEAR MR. TOM,

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE FEELING BAD AFTER WORKING FOR YOU.

I WONDER IF IT IS STILL NIGHT LONDON OR IF MY THREE EMAIL ADDRESS ARE ALSO INVALID. PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHAT I AM INTO HERE, IF YOU DONT WANT TO PAY ME MY MONEY, I WILL RESERVE MY WORDS.

THIS IS 10:AM IN LONDON AND YOU ARE STILL NOT PICKING YOUR PHONE AND CANNOT EVEN SEND ME ANY EMAIL OR RATHER CALL ME. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY MR. TOM. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I BORROWED MONEY AND ENTERED INTO CREDIT BECAUSE OF THIS YOUR JOB.

I AM GETTING FED UP WITH YOU IF YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.

Chinweoke.

 

 

From: Thomas Cook
To: Chinweoke Trevor Nwauzor

Dear Mr. Nwauzor,

I really would appreciate it if you could try to be a little more patient. It may well be a surprise to you, but I have a large and busy business to run, dealing with many many people on a daily basis. Do you think perhaps that I am just sat at my desk all day just waiting for your calls/emails?

For your information, on Mondays I do not even arrive into my office until 11:30am UK time (I believe you are one hour behind London time). Once I am in my office I will see to some usual work and THEN I will arrange your Western Union payment.

Sincerely,

Tom Cook - CEO
Pesky Pirate Audio & Video Productions Ltd.

Right. After this reply to Chinweoke I take to ignoring him for the rest of the day.

 

 

Chinweoke sends about 20 emails in rapid succession, and as many telephone calls, none of which receive a reply. He then takes matters into his own hands and emails all the other "contacts" listed on my fake Audio & Video Production website. Of course, I get to see all the messages!

The Managing Director of Pesky Pirate replies.

From: Charles Babbage
To: Chinweoke Trevor Nwauzor

Dear Sir.

I received your email below in my offices a few moments ago. A number of my employees have also reported that you sent the email to them also. My name is Charles Babbage and I am the director of Pesky Pirate Video & Audio productions.

Please note, Mr. Thomas Cook no longer works at Pesky Pirate Video Productions. He has not worked here for nearly 4 months. Mr. Cook was removed from the board of directors for illegal activities which I do not wish to discuss at this time. It is unfortunate that his contact details are still showing on our website, I apologise for that, and I shall have his details removed ASAP so as not to cause further confusion.

My only advice to you would be to not communicate with anyone using the name of Thomas Cook as it is most probably that this person is not the real Thomas Cook, and may be acting on behalf of one of our rival companies.

If you require further information, please contact me directly rather than emailing all my employees.

Thank you for your email.

Charles Babbage - Director
Pesky Pirate Audio & Video Productions Ltd.

 

 

Chinweoke writes back. He is unimpressed, and is reporting me to the appropriate authorities!

Subject: Re: INFORMATION

Dear Charles Babbage,

Thanks for your email, any way I must tell you that I am going to have my action taking right away. Find the below email which I have prepared to contact the appropriate authorities to get my money from him.

I borrowed money from several people to record a 35 chapters of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy which he sent to me. I have also attached this agreement which bears the logo and letterhead. You should pay me my money immediately if you dont wish me to go further because I shall do every thing at my reach to get my money and pay all the monies that I have borrowed to complete this work.

See the below:

Dear Sir,

I am writing this email to you to one inform Mr. Thomas Cook of the Pesky Pirate Audio & Video Productions Ltd London [It's BOLTON, you doofus] with the address below:

To pay me my money for the work I have done for him and because I am not happy at his behaviour to me and will take action if after today, I did not hear from him.

I read and recorded a book "THE HITCH HIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY" of 35 chapters with 109 pages which he was due to pay me on Saturday and uptil now, I have not heard any thing from him. Please can you use your office to assist me in relating my complaint to the appropriate office to inform him to pay me my money for the job which I have done for him.

I have attached to this email, the agreement document which he sent to me that I have signed and sent back to him since Saturday, the 28th July 2007.

It's time to set Chinweoke straight on a few things.

From: Charles Babbage
To: Chinweoke Trevor Nwauzor

Dear Sir.

I can understand your frustration, however the paperwork which you attached to me is not our official paperwork, and we are able to prove it.

We cannot contact Mr. Thomas Cook simply because we have no idea where he is. Again we have not had any contact with Mr. Cook for over 4 months now, and he no longer has any associations with our company.

Regarding the paperwork you attached; We do not have pictures of pirates on our letterheads, and also the VAT number is completely incorrect. Added to that there is no contact address, no contact email address, no contact telephone number, no contact fax number, and also the name of the board members are fake. Am the director of this company. My name should appear on an official agreement form, yet it does not appear on your copy. You sound like an intelligent man, do you think that a real agreement form should be missing such important information?

All the names of the board members are fake. They are actually related to "pirate" names. Let me explain:

1. Mr. Jim Lad
"Jim Lad" is a character in the famous pirate book, "Treasure Island". It is not a real name.

2. Mrs. C. Worthy
Obviously, this is a joke name, meant to sound like "Sea Worthy", describing a ship that is safe to use in the Sea.

3. Mr Valk De Planc
Again, this is a joke name. It is supposed to sound like the pirate phrase, "walk the plank".

4. Mr. Aye Patch
Once more, another joke name, made to sound like the "Eye Patch" that pirates sometimes wear.

As you can see, all those names are related to pirates and the sea.

I am sorry that you have obviously been the victim of a scam, however my company cannot be held responsible for the fact that you have not taken precautions or done your research. Please do feel free to report the offence to your local law enforcement. I wish you luck.

Thank you for your email.

Charles Babbage - Director
Pesky Pirate Audio & Video Productions Ltd.

Dear Sir.

Your previous email was very insulting. I quote:

And NOW you have the cheek to ask me for help?! You really must be crazy!

I tried to be polite and respectful to you, but for some reason you took it upon yourself to be rude and disrespectful to me. Do you really expect people to help you with an attitude like that?

Until about 30 minutes ago I knew nothing about you and your so-called "deal" with Mr. Cook, yet you send me abusive emails and then expect me to help you? I suggest you calm yourself down, apologise and then think carefully before you email me again.

From: Charles Babbage
To: Chinweoke Trevor Nwauzor

Dear Mr Nwauzor.

Thank you for your apology.

I can completely understand your frustration and anger directed at Mr. Cook. Believe me, Mr. Cook has caused this company a lot of trouble over the past few months. Although I cannot go into too much detail, it all started when Mr. Cook was approached by a rival company and offered a huge lump-sum payment to go to work with them and also take our customer database with him.

Since then he has been defrauding people using the name of our company to convince people to produce audio books, pretending to be representing this company. Obviously with our esteemed reputation, many people were happy to work for him, knowing that we were very well known for generous payment terms and our honest reputation. It is very sad that Mr. Cook has turned over in such a way.

Regarding your request for help; I am afraid I cannot offer you any money at all. UK limited companies are governed by very strict trading laws and very diligent tax assessors. It is not within my power to give you any kind of payment for nothing.

I know this will not rest well with you but there is one way with which I can secure the full payment to you (though I cannot include the expenses without receipts):

If you are willing to legitimately do some audio recording work for us as you say you did for Mr. Cook then of course I can pay you for that work. However please note that due to possible criminal charges against Mr. Cook we cannot accept any kind of work that you may have completed for him.

I am willing to send you payment of £8,000 if you are able to complete a similar project for us. On top of that I can include your expenses however they must not exceed £2,000 and receipts for any expenses claimed must be provided to us.

I have no idea what explanation Mr. Cook gave you previously for how to conduct the recording but I will assume he sent you our standard instruction letter so I will presume you are well versed on the procedure.

This is my offer to you Mr. Nwauzor. It is all I can offer you because it is impossible for me to give you payment in any other way.

I know that the prospect of repeating your previously unpaid job will not be a good one, however at least this time you can rest assured that your payment is guaranteed. I can offer you book work probably 50% shorter in length than the 109 pages you say you have previously completed.

Let me know your thoughts. If you decide to refuse my offer then that is fine. I will wish you good luck in pursuing Mr. Cook for your recompense.

Subject: Re: INFORMATION

Please confirm this picture for me to be Mr. Cook, also let me know if you will accept the Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy so that I will send it to you. I need money to replace my school fees, if you can equipt me with material which I shall use to do the work for you, I will start it immediately. I have a very big problem here, my senior brother who I am staying told me earlier before I started this that I should not do it. As I disobeyed him, he moved me out of his house, now both the hotel where I stayed to complete this work and the place I hired laptop, the D.J who made the recording for me are all after me.

Please what do I do now? I am just confused, if there any way you can equipt me pls, kindly do before I find myself into prison. I am one leg to the prison as I am writing this email to you.

I do not know what to tell this people when i will be leaving here or if I will kill myself and stop looking and hearing what is going to happen to me.

God, in fact am finished. I do not know what to do, please help me pls, I am pleading with you, if you can even set your eye on the so called Thomas, tell him to help me out of this problem he has putting me. Tell him to even send me a thousand pounds so that I can settle some of the pressing debts, I do not have any hope to be looking out to the sky till this weeChinweoked.

Please help me,

Chinweoke.

Chinweoke attached a picture of some guy I have never seen before. I won't show it here as it's probably some innocent guy's picture ripped from the 'net.

 

 

From: Charles Babbage
To: Chinweoke Trevor Nwauzor

Dear Mr Nwauzor.

The picture that you attached is not that of Thomas Cook. I have attached Thomas Cook's picture to this email. I hope that helps you.

Regarding the work, I am afraid I cannot accept any work commissioned by Thomas Cook because it may be subject to a pending police enquiry. You would have to submit brand new work to us, however again the work will only consist of about half of the amount that you did for Mr. Cook.

I shall pass your message on to the last known email contact address of Mr. Thomas however of course I cannot offer any guarantee that he will see it. I myself have sent him many messages and they have all gone unanswered.

Sincerely,

Charles Babbage - Director
Pesky Pirate Audio & Video Productions Ltd.

Subject: Re: INFORMATION

Are you sending me the work immediately? Please help me with some mobilization funds so that I can start your work and then settle some people who I am owing before they kill me here.

Please kindly call me on 00225098XXXXX or 00225662XXXXX. I am just losted in the see as I do not know what I can do. I have called and called his telephone and he never picked and finally he put it into answering machine.

Please reply fast.

 

 

From: Charles Babbage
To: Chinweoke Trevor Nwauzor

Dear Mr Nwauzor.

You say you have been calling Mr. Cook? Please can you inform me what number you have been dialling. The telephone number that I have for him has been dead since over a month ago, so if he has a new number I would like to know what it is because we also need to get in touch with him regarding money that he owes us also.

Getting back to your personal plight. As I told you, the only legitimate way I can help you I am afraid is if you are able to do work for us personally.

Unlike what Mr. Cook has told you, we do not force people to complete entire books. We pay a flat fee of £60 per recorded page and it is up to the person submitting the work how much they wish to do. The only requirement we ask is that a minimum of 50 (fifty) pages is submitted. After that you can decide to stop, or if you wish go on to complete the entire book. The choice is totally yours depending on how much you wish to earn. Please do note however that we can only make ONE SINGLE payment. For instance you cannot record 50 pages then ask for payment, and then decide you want to do some more pages. We can only authorise one single payment per person.

In case you are still interested, I have attached a PDF file containing the book "The Time Machine". I assume that you have already had instructions previously from Mr. Cook as to how to make the recording. If not, please get back to me and I will send you our standard instructions.

In this particular book there are a total of 148 pages. You only need to do the minimum of 50 pages for which we will pay UK £60 per page. Of course, if you wish you can carry on to complete the entire book, in which case the total payment due to you would be UK £8,880 (148 x £60).

As explained previously, my company do pay expenses on top of the standard payment, however you must be able to supply us with signed receipts for any expenses incurred.

To send the work to us you may use one of three methods:

1. Ship to our offices by courier on CD/DVD
2. Send the chapters (there are 12 chapters plus 1 epilogue) by email attachment
3. Upload the separate chapters to a service such as megauplod.com or rapidshare.com

Once more I am assuming that Mr. Cook provided you with the explicit details of how the book is to be recorded.

If you are in agreement to our terms, please let me know immediately because our turnaround times are very quick and very swift. Any delay may mean that your work is handed to another person.

We offer various methods of payment, however I think that probably what would suit you best is a bank transfer as this way we can have your payment made within a few minutes of receiving your final submission.

We do not put strict time limits on how long you must take to complete the work however of course the sooner that you are able to complete it then the sooner we will be able to offer you payment.

Kind regards,

Charles Babbage - Director
Pesky Pirate Audio & Video Productions Ltd.

Dear Mr. Nwauzir,

I'm not quite sure if your are able to comprehend basic English, or perhaps you are on some kind of mind numbing medication? I will once again repeat that my company do not give out advance payments. This may come as a great surprise to you, but did you know that there are people on the Internet who like to scam people? Don't you know that there are thieves out there who deserve nothing more than to have their testicles removed and fed to them.

Now, if you cannot do the work requested then that is fine by me. You are most welcome to seek recompense elsewhere, but please write down all your expectations about getting an advance payment from me, seal them in a large envelope, and post them to the following address:

Dear Mr. Nwauzor,

Thank you for your last communication. Call me stupid, but I get the sense that you are unhappy about something? Have I perhaps upset you in some way?

Instead of contemplating what you would like to do with various parts of my body, may I suggest that your time could be better served by completing the work for me? If you do that then not only would you benefit from the possible satisfaction of a job well done, but you could also earn yourself a little cash at the same time. What do you say Chinny?

Dear Mr. Nwauzor,

I'm sorry? Could you possible repeat most of your previous email in some kind of understandable English? At first I thought I had received a letter typed by a blindfolded dog, however the appearance of your name at the end of the message led me to the conclusion that it is you Mr. Nwauzor.

This monkey you talk about that apparently did the work for you; is he an impressionist? The reason I ask is because the 9 hours of audio recordings the monkey (sorry, you didn't mention the monkey's name) did for me sounded exactly like your voice on the phone. Now THAT is talent. Let me tell you Chinweoke, with a talented monkey like that, you should forget about talking to time wasters like me and get yourself a showbiz agent. Have you any idea at all how much money that monkey could be making for you right now? We could be talking about millions of dollars, easy. Listen, how about we go 50-50 on the monkey? You ship the the little furry primate to me and I will make arrangements to have him interviewed by a few agents I know. Before you know it we could both be swimming in cash, or in the monkey's case, bananas. Actually, forget the last bit. What the hell does a monkey know about showbiz and money? No need to waste our profits on him, he won't know the difference. Is he comfortable in front of TV cameras?

What about your office rats? Do they have any kind of showbiz talent? If you have a talking monkey that can do impressions, I can only imagine the wondrous things your rodents are capable of. Please do not keep them to yourself. The world deserves your rats too.

I'm afraid I'll have to turn down your offer of one million people; I just don't have the office space.

Sincerely,

Charles Babbage - Director
