Dear Mr. Davis,

I do not know when the police will be calling Mr. Jones, all that I know is that they asked me for his telephone number and also not to speak to anyone involved before they speak to Jones.

I do have some more photographs of Mr. Jones which I am waiting to receive once they have been developed. I believe one of them will show Mr. Jones holding the cash in his hands quite clearly. Hopefully this will prove to you that I am telling you the truth in this matter.

I will send you more proof of Mr. Jones' dishonesty later this evening once I have receive the last of the photographs.

Sincerely,

Max N. Paddy.

Dear Davis,

Sorry to be so long getting back to you. This whole thing has me so upset that I had to take a sedative last night.

From what I understand, Mr. Max has contacted the police. Perhaps Mr. Jones has run off with the cash. It certainly looks that way. I do have the address for Mr. Max, but we are all fearful of Mr. Jones so will not divulge it at this time.

1) Mr. Max gave out the money to your trusted friend who double crossed all of us.
2) I have no idea how long this will take us. I am out the cash.
3) What good would a signature do. He has photos of the so called Mr. Jones.
4) If you had decent friends all this would not have happened.

Please keep me informed. I would like to have the police here work on the case in conjunction with Interpol and Scotland Yard.

Hello Shanks

I don't know any yet as the two party are still not cleared to me who is acting funny I am working underground investigation concerning this case, before then I am making an arrangement to see the funds transfer into your account, while investigation is going on , I am using the pictures sent to me by Mr. Paddy Max to the security company that we have some little problem concerning money am sure the company will understand me . if they do I will use them to make transfer WHY to avoid USA investigating about the Fund as you know since September 11 USA has been monitoring every funds coming from African to states and that goes out as well.

Please will this be Okay with you ??
Can you travel out of the USA to any Europe if necessary ??
Because the company can only help getting the funds to Europe for easy transfer, you know well that when the money is transferred from Europe the USA FEDERAL INVESTIGATION WILL NOT INVESTIGATE IT,

I believed this will be Alright with you.

Waiting to hear from you soonest

Dear Davis,

I am still in a state of shock! How can we still transfer the fund if the fees have been stolen. Please give me some time to think about this and let the investigation continue.

Thanks to Charlie Fake, we get some fake security camera images put together, showing Peter Jones with the money that Max N. Paddy handed over!

Dear Mr. Davis,

I have been sent some security camera images taken at the place where the meeting place was. I have attached two images from the security camera to this email. You can quite clearly see that Mr. Jones has got my money in his hands as he walks away from the meeting. I have circled the areas to make them more clear to you.


[Peter Jones counts the cash!]


[Peter Jones handling the cash!]

I do not know how much more evidence I can give you before you believe me. You can see with your own eyes that Mr. Jones is a thief. I want to know when I will get my money back from this man.

Dear Mr. Davis,

I REALLY hope that Mr. Jones DOES take me to court. I look forward VERY MUCH to seeing this thief put behind bars. I have all the evidence I need.

I have the photographs, the security footage AND today I have also received VIDEO FOOTAGE of this thief Jones also. You may also find yourself in deep trouble because of your association with this person. I will be contacting the Ghana police shortly also if I do not get my money back within 7 days.

Tell Mr. Jones that he can look forward to many many years in jail for what he has done. I am very excited that he is being foolish enough to lie to the police!

Goodbye.

To: Matins Davis

Dear Mr. Davis,

So, you are also in on the SCAM? It seems you must be because after all the solid evidence I have given you you still believe that I did not give Mr. Jones the cash.

The police have informed me the Peter Jones is NOT that mans real name. He told me he was English, and now the police tell me he is in fact South African. It seems Mr. Jones (or whatever his real name is) has a lot to hide. Is Mr. Davis your real name? We will soon find out. I do not know if the police have spoken with Jones yet, they do not tell me everything, just the important information I need to know.

Mr. Jones has STOLEN my money. The evidence I have is as follows:

1. Photographs of Mr. Jones holding the bag of money I gave him.

2. Security camera images showing Mr. Jones COUNTING my money.

3. VIDEO footage of Mr. Jones STEALING my money.

4. Eyewitnesses (three of them) who witnessed me handing over the cash to Mr. Jones. One of the eyewitnesses is a Father of our local church and will be happy to explain in court what he saw. He has even agreed to let YOU question him by email. If you want to please let me know and I will give you the church email address. This MAN OF GOD saw your THIEF friend STEAL my money. Father Perkins saw ME and Mr. Jones TOGETHER and WITNESSED me handing over the money. You may call a man of God a liar if you please but you will be denying all the evidence.

I have also been told that there is security images of me AND Mr. Jones talking with each other and showing me handing over the cash. I have not received this yet, but when I do I will send it to you. Then you will HAVE to believe what I am telling you.

The police already believe my story 100% The reason they believe my story 100% is because I CAN PROVE EVERYTHING I SAY. Your THIEF friend Mr. Jones can prove NOTHING.

I have even shown the police my bank statement showing the withdrawal of the $18,000.

The police have told me they WILL be arresting Mr. Jones when he arrives here. Let me know when he is coming.

I cannot believe that you are being taken for such a fool by Mr. Jones. After all the evidence that I have given you, you still think that I am to blame. Ask yourself WHY I would do such a thing? I have NOTHING to do with this "deal" you have got going with my friend Ed Shanks. All that I know is that Mr. Shanks needed my help, and as a good friend I gave it to him. Now I find that I have been robbed by common thieves. Believe me, I will not rest until justice is done.

Subject: my questions to you

Hello Max

Please answer this Question for me, WHY did you chose to pay this MONEY in Cash and not Bank , if you cloud remembered All the agency I sent to you refused to come Scotland for the money, all asked for bank transfer, Mr. Jones did not even know about all this , and he is the only who accepted.

Well for not accepting the Bank transfer and NOT calling me makes me not having 100% trust on you for now , I hope you will understand me. why don't you answer your telephone

Davis

To: Matins Davis
Date: 28 March 2005

 

 

Dear Mr. Davis,

I have ceased telephone communication because this is what the police have told me to do. I am following their orders. I will call you in the next few days.

You asked me why I did not call you just before I gave Mr. Jones the money. The answer is that I DID try to call you, twice, but I could not get through to your number. If you recall about 1 or 2 weeks ago I had exactly the same problem and I even told that to you. You then explained to me that the telephone lines to Ghana are bad and sometime it takes many attempts to get through.

I DID try to call and I even telephoned Mr. Jones to ask him to call you to tell you that I wanted to speak with you. It seems he had other ideas and did not do as I requested.

The reason I wanted to give cash rather than transfer the money by bank transfer/Western Union etc., was because I foolishly thought that if I met face to face with the person receiving my money I would get an explanation of the proceedings and also some form of receipt for my money. I am NOT in the habit of transferring money across the world to people I have never met. I have never done this and I never will. Unfortunately I did not realise Mr. Jones was a thief with a previous record of felony and I also never received my receipt for the money.

I have just this morning received more security images which show BOTH me and Mr. Jones TOGETHER, and the picture clearly shows me handing over the cash to Mr. Jones. I will send these pictures to you later today. At the moment I am too busy as I have a meeting to attend.

If you see the new pictures and STILL do not believe that I met with Mr. Jones then all that I can assume is that you are also in on the scam that Mr. Jones is perpetrating.

Finally, what is Mr. Peter Jones REAL name. You MUST know as I do now hat the name Peter Jones is false. If you have been doing business with him for so long then you must know his real name. I want to know what it is and I want his full postal address and post code. I have given you my details, now I am requesting that you give me his. If you are unwilling to help me in this matter then the only conclusion I can reach is that you knew all the time that M. Jones was going to steal from me.

Subject: re: my questions to you

Hello Max,

Look I have told you that Mr. Jones is an agency, I REMEMBERED I told you NOT give him any money till you hear from me. REASON for these is because I need his agecy to hear him accepting that the money is given to him with the agency accepting it will help me pick the money up here.

Truth is that I could Not ask any money from them here because it was not confirmed that you have paid any money as they did not hear him accpting it with you.

Your friends knows that I must speak to you and Peter before handling the money to him. But WHY did you give without hearing from me ????????

Peter said he never met you, because you called him on phone that you know it is {419 SCAM} So you cannot give him the money again , while you are saying that paid him. WHO DO I BELIEVED ??????

Well I have every reasons to believe you based on the evidence you have given so far but on their hand peter denied meeting you.
Now it is time to deal with peter agency here

But I will need your help to deal with peter agency here,

CAN YOU HELP ???

{1} I will need to file this case to Court before I do this I need to involve some top men in force , to avoid them having their way .

{2} I want all the evidence you have with you. Concerning the peter movement.

{3} lastly the issue in involve money { $18,000} and I will need $5,000 to get them paid within Five days BUT I have only $2,700 with me , please can I get $2,300 UDS from you ???? to stop them from empowering the top men here.

With the money and evidence I WILL gather here will help to trap their company here and that will make Peter pay all the money there with expensive made .

Please let us work together now by helping me outwith the information and the money

Thank you waiting to hear from you soon

Time to send Davis another fake security camera image, this time shwing Max N. Paddy meeting with Peter Jones.

From: Max N. Paddy (Shiver Metimbers)
To: Matins Davis
Date: 28 March 2005

 

Mr. Davis,

Attached you will find YET ANTHER piece of evidence. This security camera image shows ME with Mr. Jones, face to face just after I handed over the money. Now, there is not much more I can tell you to prove that I am telling the truth. Mr. Jones told you that I never even met with him, but as you can see quite clearly there I am. I shall await your apology.

Mr. Davis, IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO YOU ON THE PHONE! I tried 2 or 3 times but could not get through. What would you have wanted me to do - come back to my office without giving the money? If I had done that then you would have been angry with me!

You say below "Peter said he never met you", but you can see with your own eyes that I did indeed meet with him. The evidence is there for any fool to see. Please let me see Peter's evidence that I was not there. Show me now.

You have asked for my help to prove Peter is guilty of being a thief, and I will be happy to help you AS SOON AS I GET MY MONEY BACK. I have already given you much more evidence that I should do. You STILL have not given me Mr. Jones real name and real contact address. I am waiting to receive it.

I cannot believe you are now asking me for MORE MONEY?!!!! You will not get one single dollar from me until Peter has been put to jail.

Now, you have seen the very best evidence of Peter's guilt. Do you STILL believe this thief?

After being forwarded the "evidence" above, Peter Jones asked Davis to forward a long list of excuses as to why he should be believed over me, however I get the feeling Davis is slowly coming around to my way of thinking. Peter is not very happy!

 

 

I decide tell Davis I'm cutting off contact as I believe he is in on the scam:

From: Max N. Paddy (Shiver Metimbers)
To: Matins Davis
Date: 29 March 2005

 

 

Mr. Davis,

I have shown you the evidence I have. Mr. Jones has none, and a call to my police station this afternoon informs me that Mr. Jones has NOT spoken with them at all. I think we all know who the liar is here.

I do not understand the technicalities of the security camera images, I am not an expert in such things, but what I can tell you for certain is that the images I sent to you were from THREE different cameras. Perhaps the times were set incorrectly on some of them, I just do not know. All I know is that you simply refuse to be man enough to admit you have been fooled by Jones, so the only assumption I can make is that you are part of this crime.

I have no further things to say to you Mr. Davis. It is clear that no matter what evidence I give to you that you will not believe me, or are for some reason unwilling to believe me, therefore I can only assume that you are in on this scam and you are also what ever this 419 scam thing is. I shall forward all your emails and correspondence to the Paisley police first thing tomorrow morning. I see I am wasting my time with you. I will do this no longer. I shall let the polices speak with you instead.

Mr. "Jones" is correct only in that the telephone number is of the transport police. As the crime was committed on their territory they were the people I reported the crimp to. They own and run the meeting place known as County Square, which is directly in front of the train station as you will know because I sent you a picture of it nearly 2 weeks ago if you recall. This IS a Scottish contact number, and to aid you EVEN MORE, here is their webpage with the number plain to see: http://www.btp.police.uk/areas/scottish.htm just click on "Paisley" and all the details you will need are there. Again, more evidence that Jones is lying.

Please do not bother me ever again, I am now sure that you are in on this crime, and I simply no longer believe anything you tell me anymore.

Sincerely,

Max N. Paddy.
