George Ochonogor contacted me with another standard donation
scam. I ran the "tattoo" routine with him, but the pictures
he sent back to me were so bad I decided to have some extra fun
and spare no regard for the fact I might lose him! It starts all
serious then insanity is slowly introduced!

A note to people unfamiliar with these types of scams:
George sounds pretty desperate doesn't he? I can well understand
how a charitable person might be taken in by his sob story, however
I have the benefit of the experience of many many hundreds of these
types of scams, and also George has been sneaky. He has in fact
sent similar scam letters to around a dozen of my other scambaiting
accounts, but for some reason he decided to change his name and
some minor details in most of them. For instance, in one email "George"
calls himself Martin Eze and his parents died in a traffic accident.
He uses the same email address in all his scam emails, so he isn't
the brightest bulb in the box. Perhaps he didn't get the education
he needed after all.
Don't be fooled by people like George. These guys can earn many
many thousands of dollars a month from such simple scams, and you
DEFINITELY don't want to meet up with him on his patch, unless you
have a penchant for having your throat cut...

So, lets start the usual Tattooed Saint procedure...

Date: November 17, 2005

Dear brother George,
Thank you so much for your very nice email. You sound like a very
caring person, and I hope that God rewards your hard work appropriately
and I am sure he will look after you and ensure you receive everything
that you deserve. I will most certainly pray for you this evening
and ensure my members do the same. I am sorry but in this instance
I am unable to help you with your current predicament.
Please do note that my church give yearly donation and financial
help to the underprivileged, sick and needy every year. In total
we give approximately $12 million a year to the less fortunate and
needy of the world.
Sadly I am afraid that I am unable to help you at this time. You
see the rules of my Christian ministry forbid members of my church
from any business dealings personal, charitable or otherwise with
people who are not part of our church or faith, so although I would
normally be most pleased to help you my hands are tied. I would
like to help your very noble cause by sending a generous donation
of perhaps $40,000 or $50,000 to help you to help others as you
are trying. But because you are not a member of my church it is
sadly out of the question. The rules of my ministry only allow financial
help to others who are members of our faith and church.
Of course, if you were to go through the induction procedure and
join our church then of course I could help you, and even send a
donation for you to pass on to the less fortunate and spread the
word of our church, but of course I do not and would not expect
you to go through the induction procedure for our church because
it requires a lot of commitment to our church so of course I can
understand if you refuse.
So once more, I apologise that I cannot help you at this time,
but I will pray for you this evening that you find the help that
you require.
God be with you,
Father Bruce Corbin

Notice George's change to uppercase pleading. This is usually
a good indicator that the first introduction letter was not actually
written by the scammer himself but in all probability written for
him by an accomplice, of maybe even perhaps stolen from another
scammer. This is a very common occurrence.
For the first couple of letters scammers usually have a set
of "form" replies at the ready, all usually prepared by
someone with a half decent grasp of the English language, however
once you get them "out of script" they have to rely on
their own writing abilities, which sometime leave a lot to be desired.
This is one of the many many ways to spot a scammer in action. You
need to watch out though; some scammers deliberately make their
emails looks as though they are coming from a complete moron in
order to fool the victim into thinking they might have the upper
hand, so just watch out!

Dear Brother Ochonogor,
Thank you very much for your kind email
I have to tell you that I am extremely excited that you are indeed
considering joining our church. Your commitment is to be admired
greatly. However you must understand that in order for me to be
able to help you it means you will have to join our church, and
you must (like all our members) prove your absolute devotion to
our cause and church. You must complete our short induction procedure
before you can join with us. The induction procedure is simple,
but you must be warned that it must not be taken upon lightly.
I must tell you that to join our church you must show great commitments,
however the rewards are great. Once you have become a member and
have completed the induction procedure I am sure that my board members
can help you with a most generous donation, especially if as you
say you are interested in setting up a branch of our ministry in
your country to help spread the word our church. I cannot give you
a firm commitment as to the amount of the donation we can send to
you to help others, but it is normal in these types of cases for
my church to offer sums of between $40,000 to $60,000 if you are
indeed serious about helping us to spread the word of our ministry.
Of course, in order to receive such financial help you must become
a full and willing member of our church.
Again I must repeat I that to enter our ranks does take great commitment.
All members of our church (myself included) must bear the tattoo
mark of our saint, Saint Bartholomew Shiver. As an example I have
attached a photograph of the tattoo mark as shown on our latest
inductee, Mary Clifford. This mark of faith is tattooed on to each
individual member of our church. Not only does this serve as a graphic
reminder of our commitment to our faith, but all over the world
it helps us to recognise our brothers and sisters. It is a golden
rule of our church that our members must do everything in their
power to help and aid fellow members.
So, to be inducted into our church, you must agree to the following:
1. Agree to have a tattoo showing the mark and name of Saint Bartholomew
Shiver. This can be placed on any part of your body. Most of our
members have this placed on their arms.
2. Provide photographic proof of the tattoo mark
3. Agree to use any donations sent to you for the good of your fellow
men & women.
If you can agree to the above requirements then I see no reason
why we cannot start your induction procedure immediately. On receipt
of the photographic proof of your tattoo mark of St. Bartholomew
we can provide you with a generous donation and regular help within
24 hours of receiving the photographic proof. We will also of course
send much information by posts contain our scriptures, information
about the church, and how we would like you to help spread word
of our church and cause.
Of course agreeing to have a tattoo placed upon your body is a very
important one, and committing yourself to this is a great request,
but it is exactly this which will show us your willingness to be
a part of our ministry.
Please note that you must be able to fund the tattoo and photographs
yourself. We will of course refund you all your costs as well as
provide the donation to you, however this can only be given once
the induction procedure has been completed successfully.
Let me know if you are in agreement to the above requirements and
I will forward you more detailed information and also a picture
of the tattoo mark of St. Bartholomew so that you can make your
own arrangements to have the tattoo applied at your place of choosing.
Thank you again for your email.
God be with you,

From: Father Bruce Corbin
To: George Ochonogor
Date: November 19, 2005

Dear brother Ochonogor,
Thank you so much for your reply.
As you have requested, the induction information is as follows.
Please take care to follow the procedures very carefully. The four
church board members will decide on your donation amount which depends
on how strictly you have kept to our procedure.
The induction procedure, which we call "the baiting of the
faithful" should take very little time to complete. How long
this takes is completely up to you and how quickly you are able
to present the photographic evidence that you have completed our
procedure to the satisfaction of the four church board members.
As I told you previously, the faster that you are able to complete
the procedure the faster you will receive our financial help.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. I have attached a sample image of our induction logo. It bears
the name of our Saint, St. Bartholomew Shiver. Phase one of the
induction procedure is to have a copy of this logo tattooed onto
a part of your body.
2. You may choose the part of the body which you feel comfortable
with having the tattoo, however you must ensure that the completed
tattoo is large and clear so as to be able to be photographed clearly.
To aid you, I have also included a photograph of one of our recent
inductees, Mary Jane Branson. As you can see, Mary chose to have
the induction logo tattoo on her right shoulder.
3. You must ensure that photographs of as much of the tattooing
procedure are taken as possible. Take photographs of the various
steps of having the tattoo applied.
4. You must supply various photographs of the tattoo from different
viewing angles, and also a photograph of yourself for identification,
and if possible, showing the tattoo at the same time.
** VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ***
You must understand that the tattoo MUST be a real tattoo, not a
drawing or other type of fake tattoo. In other words, being a real
tattoo you will of course have it with you for life, so it is important
that you are absolutely sure and happy about your decision to join
our church.
Of course, as you will know, real tattoos leave slight scarring
for the first few days until they heal. Photos MUST be supplied
so as to provide proof that a real tattoo has been applied. Sadly,
some people have tried to fool us by applying fake tattoos, but
I must warn you that our four man board are extremely diligent and
can recognise a fake tattoo very easily. If your tattoo shop need
it, we are happy to provide them with payment for their services
and allowing you to take photographs. Payment to the tattoo shop
can be up to US $1,000. If you provide us with a receipt after the
tattoo has been applied we will send payment to them immediately
the photographs have been received.
We require at minimum for you to send by email attachment HIGH QUALITY
PHOTOGRAPHS of the following:
1. The first stage of the tattoo being applied to the inductee.
If possible, photographs showing the tattoo artist actually applying
the tattoo would give great encouragement to the board members.
2. Photographs of the tattoo immediately after it has been completed,
so that the board members will be able to ascertain it is real because
of normal scarring or marking.
3. Photographs taken 24 hours later, showing the healed tattoo.
It is your decision what colour to make the tattoo, but please ensure
you choose a colour which can be photographed clearly. Most of our
members choose to have a black tattoo applied.
Please remember that MULTIPLE photographs are required, with at
least one close-up image so that the board members can determine
the tattoo to be real.
Again, it is entirely your decision what part of your body to have
the tattoo applied to. All you need to do is ensure the tattoo is
large and clear enough to be photographed clearly. Places that our
members usually choose are: arms, top of the legs, or back shoulders.
VERY IMPORTANT
I must stress to you again that the tattoo must be real, and the
photographs you send will be inspected very carefully to ensure
that they are. I am sorry that I have to keep repeating this to
you pastor but as I have already told you, sadly there are ungodly
people out in the world who try to take advantage of our church
by applying for donations by sending in fake photographs, this is
why it is very important that the photographs you send by email
attachment are very large and clear so that the validity of the
tattoos can be checked easily. Poor quality or small images will
be rejected by the board members.
Once we have received satisfactory photographs from you, we will
then send you a copy of the church induction application form. This
is a very simple form which the applicant must complete ad sign
with their name and date. Once the form has been returned to us
then your donation payment can be processed within 24 hours and
sent to you by whichever method best suits your means.
I offer one piece of advice brother; the board members usually give
larger donations depending on the size of the tattoo. So the larger
the tattoo the larger the donation payment is liable to be, but
the very minimum we send to help is $40,000 so as you can so you
will be able to do a lot of very good work with such an amount.
Of course, once you become a member you will be invited to our yearly
gathering here in the UK (your flight fees and expenses will of
course be paid by us) and you will be able to meet many of our members
and well as myself.
I hope that explains things clearly to you brother, and if you have
any questions please feel free to contact me any time.
Please will you reply to this email as soon as possible to let me
know when you expect to be able to email me the photographs. The
four board members work all across the UK so they will need to be
gathered to examine your photographs and make the donation payment.
This may take 2 or 3 days, so if I know in advance when you are
likely to be ready to send the photographs I can ensure that the
board members are gathered together in readiness for your photographs.
Please also let me know by what means you would prefer the donation
payment to be made.
God be with you,

Thank you for your email.
You did not make me angry, so do not worry yourself over that. When
writing it is very hard to convey emotions and it is easy to mistake
the intentions of a letter.
I look forward to receiving your photographs. Please ensure the
images are clear and large, and remember that at least one close
up image is required by my board members.
In the meantime, please make a note of this reference number: 1178291-115
This is your payment reference number and you will have to ensure
you remember it because you will need to quote it to use when you

Yo mi bruvva ochonoga, ows it angin?
I am not doubtin dat da tattoo is real bruvva. I did not tell yous
da tattoo was fake. I told yous dat da tattoo was unacceptable as
it as bin so well badly done. I cannot believe fa one moment dat
anyone would charge yous any money fa a sorry-ass job such as dat.
Da main man dat applied da tattoo fa yous is obviously a complete
amateur and as no experience whatsoeva of wot a real tattoo is supposed
to look like, yo.
Take a check at dis image Georgy:

Yous will recognise da image above as da church logo which we require
to ave tattooed onto our members
Now check at dis image:

Dis is (apparently) da "tattoo" dat yous did ave placed
on your arm. can yous check any similarity to our church logo at
all? No one would recognise da image on your arm as our church logo,
it's a bag of shite to be onest main man.
I cannot understand why yous employed such an amateur lunatic to
apply da tattoo. By doin such a fin yous is denyin your entry into
our church and deprivin yourself of angin wiv many wicked people,
such as old geeza Father Frolic Ruffly whose picture I ave attached
below. As yous can check, we can for real get down and do da deed
just dig old geeza Ruffly, and yous is not in da house out on all
dis just by attemptin to pass off a lumpy arm as a tattoo.
I is awaitin your cringeworthly reply.
God be with you,

I attach a slightly edited picture of Father Frolic Ruffly:


George then surprises me by actually agreeing to a new tattoo.
I thought my antics above would have scared him off.

MY FAULT.WHAT WE USED HERE IS NEDDLE,BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU TO WAIT

Father Jack agrees to a "compromise"!
From: Father Jack Hackett
To: George Ochonogor
Date: November 25, 2005
Dear bruvva George,
I am chilled dat yous ave at least decided to concede dat a new
tattoo is required, therefore I is made to try to help make fings
easia fa yous.
It seems yous is avin some aggro checkin a tattoo maka who as some
skill, so ere is mi my suggestion to yous: If yous is made to ave
da tattoo placed onto your back, and in large letterin then instead
of puttin in da more complitaced church logo yous may if yous wish
just ave da single word SHIVER tattooed. Howeva, if yous agree to
dis then it must be placed on your back and da letters must be large
and clear.
If yous is in agreement to dat thun please notify me whun yous
expect to be able to ave such a tattoo applied.
God be with you,
Father Jack Hackett

After a delay of over a week George decides to contact Father
Corbin to scam a bit of spare change.

Time for Father Corbin to lay down the law to George.
From: Father Bruce Corbin
To: George Ochonogor
Date: December 3, 2005

Dear brother Ochonogor,
Thank you for your email.
Read this VERY carefully because it is the last time that I will
tell you this. I have already explained this to you THREE times
already:
I cannot help you financially or spiritually unless you are a member
of our church. If you cannot complete the induction procedure correctly
then you are not a member of our church, therefore we cannot help
you.
Please do not keep asking me for money because it is the LAW of
my church that we do not help people who are not members of our
church. Do you seriously expect me to break one of the most important
laws of my church? No, this will never never never happen.
I am sorry, but there is at least $30,000 waiting here for you to
help you, however if you are unable to help yourself then perhaps
you do not deserve to be a member with us?
I am sorry to sound so harsh, however I made it perfectly clear
to you before you started that we cannot help you until you are
a member.
God be with you,
Father Bruce Corbin
Accounts Department
Holy Church of The Tattooed Saint
Not sure if George will notice that Father Corbin
actually replied to his email when it should have been Jack Hackett,
and also, Father Corbin is supposed to be in Las Vegas until the
8th of December!

UPDATE: 24/1/2006
Unfortunately after numerous attempts to get George
to reply he never did. I guess I stretched him a little too far.
I'll have another crack at him after giving him
a few weeks rest, though I suspect George no longer has much confidence
in The Church of The Tattooed Saint!
END.
