From: Ed Shanks Dear Mo,
Mohamed's scamming partner, Peter Corey quickly gets in touch with instructions on paying the "fee". From: Peter Corey Dear Shanks, As discussed on phone awhile ago, i would need the sum of $7,500 in order for me to get your consignment cleared so as to come immediately to make delivery to you.Please,i would advise you send the above amount to me by western union money transfer to the following names: 1) Mr.Peter Corey 2) Mr.Scott Lake 3) Mr.Tony Andrew As soon as the money is collected i'll proceed to get your consignment cleared and come to you for the delivery.Please,let me know the nearest airport to you so that i'll route my ticket there. You can give me a call on my phone number: 1-713-478-9116 as soon as you receive this mail. Regards, Peter

From: Ed Shanks Dear Mo, I will be away from home this weekend, but am not sure if I should send the cash. I would feel better by meeting them somewhere and handing it over. Then Peter Corey could send me the consignment later.
From: Mohamed Lucien DEAR SHANKS, YOU CAN GO ON, ON WHAT SO EVER YOU WANT BY SENDING THE MONEY OR FEELING TO MEET THEM TO HAND OVER THE CASH TO THEM, ALL I WANT, IS YOU TO RECEIVE THE CONSIGNMENT TO YOUR HOUSE THEN THE WIDOW CAN START READY TO COME OVER TO MEET YOU OK.
At this point we will have to skip a few emails as they were accidentally lost, but they are not integral to the correspondence.
From: Mohamed Lucien Dear shanks, I have verify to make the change of the agreement, you know that this agreement was made very long time ago. so the security compant told me that you want want if this can be done, then you can meet with peter corey to pay him personal, because the order will be given to him by the head office from ghana as you know, but i will advice you to send the $7500 directly to them over there then you can help the widow to receive the consignment. I know how it feels to send money to some body . but never be afriad since you have clear with this regard. thanks DOCTOR MOHAMED.
From: Ed Shanks Dear Mo, I don't mind paying the total which would be $10,200. On one hand I would like to get the money the widow offers, but on the other hand I want to give my money to someone hand to hand. I am very close to concluding this deal, but could always use the $10,200 for something else. I am thinking about buying a boat. I am a little suspicious that Corey won't meet me anywhere. I wonder if he would even meet me in Houston, although I don't want to go to Houston. See if you can change the Agreement! Sincerely, Ed Shanks
Another missing email, basically where Mohammed is telling Ed Shanks what a terrible situation the widow is in. She needs help, and she damn well needs it now!

I WILL TOP FROM HERE TO HEAR FOR YOUR CO OPERATION AND YOUR KINDLY RESPONSE TO HELP AS WELL. THANKS DOCTOR MOHAMED LUCIEN.
Note: At this point A. Skinner contacted me (Shiver Metimbers) to tell me that there was a possibility of baiting a scammer based in London. Of course, I was definitely up for that, and told A. Skinner to tell Mohamed that he had a partner in the UK who was only too happy to hand over $11,000 in cash! From: Ed Shanks Dear Dr. Mo, This news about the widow's health has me in a fit of discomfort. There is no way I can travel to London due to my cash flow and other various reasons. However, I have a very good friend in Glasgow, Scotland by the name of Mr. Max N. Paddy. This gentleman and I have been business partners and friends for years. I spoke with him this weekend and he would be willing to make the payment of $11,000 USD in my behalf. He will pay it in person and in cash if you will have a representative come to Glasgow to meet him there. London is only a 5 hour train journey from Glasgow. Mr. Paddy N. Max can be reached at +44 8707 659 XXX or by email on [email protected]. Max is a director of a large communications company, and his website can be found here: www.the-dark-side.co.uk Sincerely, Ed Shanks
Mohamed gives us an update on the widow's health problems, and also agrees to accept payment in the UK. GAME ON! From: Mohamed Lucien Dear Shanks,
True to his word, Mohammed gives Max N. Paddy (Shiver Metimbers) a call to discuss terms, however, he must be short of credit on his phone and asks me to call him back. I DON'T think so Mo!: Date: 20th Feb 2005:Mohammed calls Max N. Paddy - 185k MP3
The next day Mohammed calls again and attempts to persuade me to come to London with the cash: Date: 21st Feb 2005:Mohammed calls Max N. Paddy - 1.6 Meg MP3
Mohammed is a little disappointed that I cannot make the trip to London, and emails Ed Shanks to tell him: From: Mohamed Lucien SAHARA CLINIC &MATTERNITY, 21 FEBUARY 2005. DEAR SHANKS, THANKS FOR YOUR KINDLY CONCERNED. I WAS SO GRAETFULL WITH YOUR ASSISTANT, I HAVE CALL MR. MAX N. PADDY TODAY. I DISCUSS WITH ME VERY WELL, HE WAS SO KIND LIKE YOU,BUT HE IS NOT IN LONDON .THAT IS THE ONLY PROBLEM, HE PROMISE TO CLEAR THE CONSIGNMENT FROM THE DIPLOMAT. TRY AND TALK TO YOUR PARTNER TO TRAVEL TO THE SECURITY COMPANT BRANCH OFFICE IN LONDON. SINCE IT IS NOT WRITTEN, IT CAN NOT BE CARRY TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY SINCE NO ONE CAN CLEAR IT FROM USA. I DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPAIN TO THE WIDOW NOT BECAUSE SHE IS UNCONCIOUS. TELL YOUR FRIEND TO TRAVELL TO LONDON IMMEDIATELY.FEARLY PERCNTAGE WILL BE GIVEN TO HIM, I HAVE NO BODY IN LONDON EVEN THE WIDOW, SHE ONLY WANT TO INVEST IN USA NOT LONDON , SHE WILL WANT YOU TO COME TO LONDON AND CARRY IT BACK TO USA, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR FRIEND TO TRY ALL PASSIBLE BEST TO COME TO LONDON, TELL HIM THE CONDITION OF THE WIDOW AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS HER LIFE ,HELP HER, MAKE HER DREAM COME TRUE, SHE WILL COME OVER TO MEET THE SPECIALIST DOCTOR IN USA. NEVER ALLOW THE WIDOW TO DIE AND LOST HER CONSIGNMENT FOR NOT THING SAKE. I WHICH I CAN HELP I WOULD HAVE TRY, BUT NO FRIEND I HAVE IN LONDON. THANKS DOCTOR MOHAMED.
From: Ed Shanks Dear Dr. MO, Well, this is a fine state of affairs. Here the widow is suffering and unconscious with her trunk boxes in London and no one to claim them. As I explained earlier, all I want to do is make sure the Security Company is paid NOW for the widow. That is what Mr. Paddy Max agreed to do for me. I did NOT expect the diplomat to deliver the trunk box. I will take care of receiving the box later through some other form of shipment to the USA. I simply want the diplomat to be paid before someone else lays claim to the box. Mr. Max Paddy has the cash ($11,000 which can be converted to British Sterling if you like), but it will be necessary for someone to meet him in Glasgow, Scotland. That is a simple task that diplomats do all the time. It would be the same thing if Mr. Max Paddy came to London to meet Mr. Michael Dannis or an associate. Please get this done as quickly as possible so we can quit wasting time. Sincerely, Ed Shanks
From: Mohamed Lucien Sahara clinic & Matternity, You have to contact him immediately :
From: Ed Shanks Dear Dr. Mo, This is excellent news for all of us, the widow especially. Please advise Mr. Dannis that a meeting on Friday or Saturday would be most convenient with Mr. Max N. Paddy. Have diplomat Dannis contact Mr. Paddy by telephone or email to work out the details. You have both his telephone and email address. Certainly the contents of the box will NOT be revealed to the diplomat. Sincerely, Ed Shanks
Are you all sitting comfortably? We're now going into a long session of telephone calls and very little in the way of emails! WARNING: Some of the language in the latter part of these calls is of a very adult nature. PLEASE do not listen if you are easily offended, though I hasten to add I myself behave impeccably! Shortly after mailing Ed Shanks, Mohamed gives Paddy N. Max a call to try to worm his way out of sending a diplomat to Scotland. That just isn't gonna happen Mo! Date: 22nd Feb 2005:Mohammed calls Max N. Paddy - 546k MP3
Mohammed calls again to tell me the "diplomat" Michael Dannis will be calling to discuss his meeting with me in Scotland. Date: 23rd Feb 2005:Mohammed calls Max N. Paddy - 216k MP3
Michael Dannis calls just a few short minutes later. What a coincidence! Michael doesn't fancy the trip though. Date: 23rd Feb 2005:Michael Dannis calls Max N. Paddy - 657k MP3
Later that same afternoon Michael calls again. Looks like the meeting may be on. Michael passes me onto his partner Ken Wilson. Date: 23rd Feb 2005:Michael Dannis/Ken Wilson calls Max N. Paddy - 971k MP3
The next day, Ken calls me to tell me he's on the way: Date: 24th Feb 2005: Ken Wilson calls Max N. Paddy - 318k MP3
After a 5 hour trip, Ken has arrived at Glasgow airport! A little bit of research gives me the names of various cafe's that are in the Glasgow airport terminal. My plan is to get him to a cafe and then call eh cafe itself to confirm Ken IS actually there! Date: 24th Feb 2005:Ken Wilson calls Max N. Paddy - 316k MP3
I decide to give Ken a call to ease his mind a little, and let him know I'll be there soon. Date: 24th Feb 2005:Max N. Paddy call Ken Wilson - 180k MP3
Ken called me to tell me he had found a meeting spot. I decided to waste his time a little by sending him to three other meeting places. Unfortunately during my excitement I forgot to record the next two calls, however, I got the important stuff! I then called Ken to tell him that because of security reasons I could not meet him in that part of the airport and had him suggest a meeting place (this would help ensure he was actually there): Ken found a cafe called "Deli De France" which I confirmed was an actual cafe in the airport. Date: 24th Feb 2005: Max N. Paddy calls Ken Wilson - 269k MP3
A quick call to Deli De France confirmed to me that Ken was indeed stood there waiting for me. So that was visual confirmation that I had managed to get Ken to fly a few hundred miles from London to Scotland for absolutely nothing! Time to give Ken the bad news: Date: 24th Feb 2005: Max N. Paddy calls Ken Wilson - 330k MP3 Ken wasn't quite as abusive as I'd hoped for, but don't worry readers, it gets worse!
Ken's partner calls to ask for an explanation. This is where the bad language starts folks! Date: 24th Feb 2005: Ken's partner calls Max N. Paddy - 348k MP3
Just when I was recovering from the disappointment of the rather lame threats, a great call comes in late in the evening. Apologies for my rather juvenile behaviour, I was just trying to wind these guys up! Date: 24th Feb 2005: Scammers abuse Max N. Paddy - 1.16 Meg MP3 NOW we're getting somewhere. Pity that they didn't give me much of a chance to taunt them some more!
I call the guys back and try to provoke them some more: Date: 24th Feb 2005: Max N. Paddy irritates the scammers - 288k MP3 Shortly after the above call I release this scammer's telephone number to all the members on the 419eater forum. It appears they got a LOT of calls and the phone is now dead!
Ed Shanks send a message to Dr. Mohamed to try to explain what the hell is going on! From: Ed Shanks Dear Dr. Mo,
Dr. Mohamed, suitably unimpressed with the day's proceedings decides to contact Ed Shanks for an explanation! From: Mohamed Lucien SAHARA CLINIC & MATTERNITY, I AM NEVER A CROOK OK ,I AM A GOOD ISLAMIC MAN WHO HAVE THE FEAR OF ALLAH. IF THE DIPLOMAT DISAPOINTED ,LET GIVE THE GLORY TO ALLAH, ALL I KNOW THE CONSIGNMENT MUST BE GIVEN TO YOU. WHAT PAINS ME ALOT IS THE NAME YOUR FRIEND TRY TO CALL ME. I DONT KNOW IF HE HAS FORGOTTEN THAT I AM NOT THE DEPOSITOR OF THE CONSIGNMENT, I AM ONLY DOING A FAVOUR FOR MY CLIENT / PATIENT AS YOU KNOW . AS YOUR FRIENT IS A DIRECTOR TO A COMPANY ,THAT IS HOW I AM STILL SOLE PROPRIETOR / DOCTOR TO MY HOSPITAL. I WONDER WHY HE SHOULD ADRESS ME LIKE I AM A CHILD. OH OH MY GOD. No reply sent!

I WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU URGENTLY . THANKS
Myself and A. Skinner have decided it would be fun to try to persuade Dr. Mohamed to apologise to me (Max N. Paddy) for the abusive threats of his partners. Not only would it be a good thing to hear, but after having given an apology, if we screw him over again it will make him even more angry! Ed Shanks sends the following email to Mohamed, along with a copy of and email I am supposed to have send to Ed: From: Ed Shanks Dear Dr. MO, I was certainly glad to receive your mail. During our conversations you always came across as a kind and gentle man. Let me explain the situation to you. Some years ago Mr. Paddy was scammed out of several thousand dollars and thought you were trying to scam me. We have had a long talk and I have convinced him that you are a truthful and honest man who just has the widow’s welfare at heart. Therefore, we will both be available to fly to Ghana to meet the widow and your kind self, and hand over the $11,000 USD. There is only one hitch to us coming to Ghana. Mr. Paddy Max insists that the person who gave him the death threats must call him and apologize. He must apologize and promise not to kill either of us. Let me know what you think of this idea ASAP, so we can make our travel arrangements. Your Friend, Ed Shanks My made up message to Ed Shanks, which is also given to Mohamed:
Max N. Paddy.
After a slight delay, the apology from Dr. Mohamed comes in: Date: 1st Mar 2005: Dr. Mohamed apologises to Max N. Paddy - 437k MP3 Short and to the point, but it's one-up for the good guys!
Dr. Mohamed contacts Max to send the payment information (the poor deluded fool!): From: Mohamed Lucien Sahara clinic & matternity, Dear Paddy N. Max, thanks for your co operation during our brif conversation on the phone today. I am very happy to get you on the phone today, i have been calling all day but no one picks the call. But mr. ED told me that it wes your office line. may be you are not on site by then, so sorry. I will give you the name right away to send the money toay as you know, there is no time to be wasted from you, immediately you have send the money to day ,i will rushed over to the head office and pay the money immediately ok, then you can tell me where i will order the diplomat to do the delivery as you know. I have told the WIDOW the that her consignment will be cleared to from the diplomat, she was so happy and she was full with joy, but right now she has gone to bed TH NAME TO SEND THE MONEY IS GODSTIME AGOBA . PLEASE IMMEDIATELY YOU HAVE DO THE SEND, YOU HAVE TO CALL MY ATTENTION ON THE PHONE AND GIVE ME ALL THE SENDING DETAILS AND YOUR PASSPORT. I WILL STOP HERE TO WAIT FOR YOU OK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS DOCTOR MOHAMED LUCIEN..
Mohamed lets Ed Shanks know the deal is near to an end (or so he thinks): From: Mohamed Lucien Sahara clinic & matternity, Dear Shanks, Thanks for your email ,i was so glad when i heared from you all day, i have spoken with mr .MAX N.PADDY,today and he has agreed to send the money via western I understand your words of travelling , i wiches you safe jonney. i will advice you to always have a contact with MAX N.PADDY ALWAYS to be updateing you alday,Please i will advice now to please wait for the diplomat at your house ,because immediately the money is paid today, you are going to recieved the consignment this week. Please i am begging you to do me the favour by checking your email untill you are back ok. I will email you immediately i have recieved the money today. [Don't hold your breath Doc!] I will stop here to hear from paddy Max N. inregard of the sending of the fund today. Thanks
Time to send Mohamed his payment:
Max N. Paddy.
Sincerely,
I attach a copy of Max N. Paddy's passport (UK readers will recognise the photo as that of Peter Kay!). Note that I have marked FAKE on this passport so that scammers don't try to use it on real victims.
Above is a copy of the Western Union payment I sent to Mohammed. Note the American Express Corporate Platinum card added for extra effect, and the Rolls Royce car keys!
I think the fake Western Union payment pushed Mohammed over the edge. It has been many weeks now and he never got back to either Max N. Paddy or Ed Shanks. Looks like this particular case is over! END.
