Title: A STUNT TOO FAR
Scammer Name: DR. AHMED IBRAHIM

From: Klench Mychiques
To: Mr. Gbamuda
Dear Mr. Gbamuda,
It is with a heavy heart that I (try) to email you
today. Unfortunately, both of my arms and right leg are in plaster
(again) and I am finding extremely difficult to type. I do not know
if anything is broken, but the doctors told me to wrap myself in
plaster just in case. Good doctors are so hard to find.
As I informed you yesterday, I was making an attempt
at the world record for jumping over shopping trolleys', but the
stunt went badly wrong. Although my stunt co-ordinator set up my
jump ramp perfectly, during the night some bastard moved it up against
a brick wall. As I have so much faith in my stunt co-ordinator I
asked no questions and performed the jump with disastrous consequences,
hence my trip to Amsterdam may be delayed slightly.
Please find attached a photograph showing my failed
attempt. I would not like you to think I am trying to delay you.
I will make my flight booking ASAP and then I will
await the contact from your representatives.
Sincerely, and in no small pain,
Klench Mychiques.

what's going in with his own crew either]

Dear mr klench,
I am in receipt of your mail.I wish to advise that
each time you correspond to mr Amanda,please copy me by bcc or cc
which ever one you prefer for transparency purpose,because i am
still wondering what must have been delaying Mr Amanda in replying
to your mail you said you sent to him.
[Come on man. You're seeing everything anyway!]
I am looking forward to to fast conclusion of this

Dear Mrs. Williams,
Please find attached a copy of my booking receipt for my flight
to Amsterdam. Also attached is a copy of my passport. The flight
No. is BA0434 (British Airways) and will arrive in Amsterdam at
approximately 1.30pm in the afternoon of the 15th of September.
I am hoping my plaster will be removed by then.
Please ask the person who is to meet me to hold a large sign with
my name at the arrivals lounge ( Klench Mychiques ) so that I am
able to recognise the person I am meeting (Mr. Philips).
I would appreciate confirmation of receipt of this email.
Sincerely,
Klench Mychiques.

Dear mr klench,
I am happy to hear that at last you people have
been able to communicate each other.It is also nice to hear from
you that you have booked your flight for 15th and have advised Amanda
accordingly.
Please always get me informed of every step as
soon as you arrive for the completion. I will advise you after the
completion on how the fund will be kept and managed after my meeting
with Dr Ahmed. Has Amanda acknowledged your booking scheduled you
sent to him?
Finally,have you people agreed on meeting and identification?
[Nope]

Dear Mr. Gbamuna,
Thank you for your email.
Mr. Williams had returned my email, BUT I am still waiting for
the person who is to meet me to email me. Please STRESS to Mr. Amanda
Williams that until I have received identification from the person
who is to meet me I will not make the flight, and I will spend the
time seeking out prostitutes in London instead.
Sincere regards,

Dear Sir,
Every arrangement about your arrival has been taken
care. The are going to hold a placard with your name on it. J.T
Philips will receive you and he is going to show you a photocopy
of your passport for you to be sure of the person receiving you.
There is nothing again that we can do because of
Security reasons that is why we are always careful with our clients.
[We'll see about that Mr. Williams]
God Bless and wishes you safe arrival to Amsterdam,
The Netherlands.

Subject: Re: YOUR PASSWORD: PEACE - MY PERSONAL PASSWORD: TIGHTLY
Dear mr klench,
Many thanks for your mail.I like to say that you
are bring back issues,i told you that your passport copy has been
forwarded to Mr Amanda Williams for documentation,which can as well
be used for identification upon your arrival. Note that you gave
me a condition of sending you a photographed picture which i did,and
the reason for that was to maintain trust in what we are doing and
to prove to you that i am not hidding my identity.
Moreso,because i believe you and i are one and
are working with one spirit to achieve our goal. The issue of Amanda
doing same as i did should not arise because they are different
body only concern in making payment to us.I believe they should
have their mode of operation.Your passport copy sent to them is
enough for identification,except you have another motive. [Well
spotted Ahmed!]
Finally,i like to suggest that you ask mr Amanda
williams or colleague (J.T philips) whomsoever will be seeing upon
arrival to present your passport copy which i sent to them and identity
of the person before following the person.This is to be sure you
are meeting with the right person.Alternatively,a code can be given
to Amanda williams or his partner just like we are communicating
with"tightly and peace" for easy identification to support
your passport copy they are having.
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister N.Gbamuda.
PEACE.
[I get stroppy]
From: Klench Mychiques
To: Mr. Gbamuda
Dear Mr. Gbamuda,
And I told you that BEFORE I travel to Amsterdam I require proof
of identity from the person I am meeting. If the person I was meeting
was to be you then there would not be a problem as you have already
proved yourself to me. However, I now am expected to travel hundreds
of miles to meet someone I have never seen. Sir, honestly, would
you do this without any proof of identification? Everyone in this
deal so far has seen my identity. I have sent evidence to EVERYONE
when asked. YOU are the only person whose identity I have seen.
If you do not like the way I work sir, please let me know and I
will cancel my flight and close the deal. I have other business
affairs I can be attending to.
Sincerely,
Klench Mychiques.

Subject: Re: YOUR PASSWORD: PEACE - MY PERSONAL PASSWORD: TIGHTLY
Dear mr klench,
Many thanks for your mail. For you to have taken
my identity is enough to believe what i am telling you and to follow
whonsoever i introduce to you. Well,the identity issue with mr Amanda
or mr phillips [make your damn mind up how you are spelling
his name] can be discussed very well with mr Amanda,so contact
him and ask him how this can best be resolved.
This is not enough for for you to decide to cancel
your flight or back out of helping,except you actually do not want
to continue.If you insist on withdrawing,well that is your decision
because i have done all you required.
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister N.Gbamuda.

To: Mr. Gbamuda
Dear Mr. Gbmuda.
I have asked and asked and asked and asked for identification from
Amanda, but I have not received it. I have so far spent £431
on airline tickets AND I am required to bring with me SEVENTEEN
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED EUROS, the total cost to me so far in US
Dollars being TWENTY THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND TWELVE ($20,312).
If I am to spend $20,312 then I must INSIST that I receive identification
BEFORE I board the plane on the 15th. I suggest you contact Amanda
and tell him that he will be wasting Mr. Philips's time at the airport
waiting for me, as I will not be arriving until I receive OFFICIAL
identification.
Mr. Gbmuda, please note that all further emails will be ignored
until I receive what I want. [So there!]

Dear mr klench,
This decision is not mine.You can contact Amanda
for all these arrangement.I am not a staff of Global Financial Network
and as such will not dictate their working ability or modus operandi.I
believe they should have their working skills.
If you decide to drop here because of identity
from Holland office,well like i said before,that is your decision.I
have proven myself to you as demanded. We are working as one body
and co and only a paying body.I have never done a business with
a bank and demand the bank to send me a picture of the director
and i have never heard it before.Like i said except you have a different
motive.

I am not surprise that the way you authoritave
write on e-mail can jeorpadise this transaction. You wrote to us
about the person meeting you to hold a large sign on your arrival,
which we agreed. The name of the person to meet you, which we agreed.
The next step is your withdrawal which you think you are doing for
us or Gbemudia.Since i started working, i have never seen a client
behaving this way.Anyway, Thank you and God Bless.

I didn't, but what the Hell] I am here now as I write this,
waiting for your contact to arrive. My room number is 117. I have
told the attendant at the booking desk that I am expecting a visitor.

I needed to sleep with a prostitute for a short while before I meet
with anyone.

CC: Amanda Williams
Dear Mr. Ibrahim (and friends)
Here is what is going on:
By now you will probably have guessed that you have been fooled
into believing that I was coming to meet your mugu friend in Amsterdam.
I never left the country. Whilst your foolish friends were running
around in Amsterdam trying to find me, I was sat in my very comfortable
chair at home, drinking coffee and checking my emails!
How did you think that my name of Mr. Klench Mychiques was real?!
You must do your homework before you try to steal money from people!
Your introductory documents were full of spelling and grammar errors,
and your communication skills are plain awful.
Ibrahim (or whatever your real name is) from your very first email
I knew you are a 4-1-9 advance fraud fee scammer. There is NO $28,000,00.00,
I know it, and of course YOU know it. I'm not sure if Mr. Amanda
Williams knows it though. Going by the communication between you
two I'd be surprised. Also, what the Hell is with a name like Mr.
Amanda Williams? Don't you know that Amanda is a GIRLS name?
I know you have been using false names and details, and of course
I know that you and your friends are a thieves.
All the documents and photos I sent to you were of course false.
Do not worry though, your time with me has not been wasted completely.
I run a web site where your pictures and all the letters will be
displayed for all my readers to see, so you are going to be quite
famous soon.
Of course I have saved ALL the emails and pictures you sent to
me, along with ALL the email headers. Soon they will all been sent
to the Nigerian Police's fraud section, and also the FBI's advance
fee fraud department. Hopefully you will be hearing from them very
soon.
Do not bother to reply to me with your excuses Ibrahim, I have
heard them all. I KNOW you are a THIEF, and I KNOW your friends
are THIEVES also. Do not try to convince me your proposition was
real because it was ALL A COMPLETE LIE!
[Lets see if Ahmed's up for a bit of tuition]
I tell you what I will do. I will make a deal with you. You send
me US $8,000 by wire transfer, and I will show you where all your
mistakes have been made, and show you how to produce REALISTIC documents
and wording. Being a businessman myself (a REAL one!) I know how
such thing SHOULD look. I will also keep your activities out of
the news and police files!
[$8,000 from a scammer would be a MAJOR coup. I suspect that
just isn't going to happen though, and anyway, if he had sent me
the cash, I'd never help the scumball out!]
I hope we meet again soon Ahmed I look forward to making a fool
of you again!

I am not the fool here Ibrahim (if that is your real name), YOU

YOU are the one who sent me the picture of the IDIOT in the suit!
It does not matter if these pictures are not you or your real people.
The fact is that I FOOLED you into going to the trouble of TAKING
the pictures and wasting your time! It does not matter to me if
the pictures are really you or not. YOUR TIME WAS WASTED MAKING
AND SENDING THEM!
You NEVER suspected me for one second. You were fooled every step
of the way.
I will leave you for now Ibrahim. I have plenty of other scammers
to deal with.
Also, if you are supposed to be in a non-UK country, try not to
use a UK based email address like the one you have now. This is
VERY amateur. Just because you are using a tiscali.co.uk email address,
do not think that you cannot be traced back to your origin because
you can. It is very easy to do. This is a very basic mistake that
most 419 scammers make.

YOU FOR THE LITTLE ADVISE AND MISTAKES CORRECTED.I WILL WORK ON
THAT.BUT I TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN NEVER TRACE MY STATION VIA YOUR
COMPUTER,WHY DID YOU NOT TRACE THAT I WAS SENDING THOSE MAILS FROM
ABIDJAN.
SECONDLY,I TELL YOU THAT THESE: YOU are the one
who sent the VERY BADLY made passport. FOR SURE IT WAS MADE BY A
COMPUTER EXPERT. [Thanks for the compliment.... I think!]
YOU are the one who sent me the picture of the FAT MAN on the
chairs! .I TELL YOU THAT NO ONE EVEN KNOWS IF
THE FAT MAN IS DEAD OR ALIVE CREATURE. [Sorry readers,
he's completely lost me here]
YOU are the one who sent me the picture of the IDIOT in the
suit! SAME WAS DONE TO THIS PERSON.ACTUALY,HE MIGHT BE CALLED IDIOT
BECAUSE HE IS SOMEWHERE ELSE WHILE PEOPLE ARE USING HIS IMAGE TO
FRAUD.
THANK YOU,I LIKE TO BE YOUR FRIEND.WE CAN DISCUSS ON FRIENDLY
BASIS.TO BE FRANK WITH YOU,I AM BASED IN ABIDJAN.AND A CITIZEN OF
GHANA. IF YOU ARE TRUELY RICH,PLEASE YOU CAN HELP ME.WE ARE POOR
IN OUR FAMILY.

I made the passport my friend, and I can prove it.
Send me a picture and I will duplicate the quality for you!
Your mistakes are not corrected because you have just repeated
them in your email to me.
Ibrahim. I am sorry, but I think you are a little crazy. The picture
of the fat man was sent to me by YOU. The man holding the KLENCH
MYCHIQUES TIGHTLY page WAS sent by you. You may need your memory
fixing! Stop lying to me Ibrahim, it will make me respect you more!
No, the IDIOT in the suit picture was sent to me by your 'Mr' Amanda
Williams! Don't you don't even know what your own dumb partners
are doing?!
I am happy. I know the truth. No matter what lies you give me.
Bye.
