Jim should ask for specific details about WHO and WHERE: - Of course we want to see pictures with the "agent from Turkey"... I mean real pictures, with the agent holding a big card with Jim's name on it (he will use it in the "arrivals" terminal at the airport). - Following the failure in Greece, Jim is distrustful and wants additional assurances that everything is ready. Credible. - Jim wants to make sure that the new agent picks him up from the airport and takes him to the hotel. Right? - Of course you will "choose" to land at the airport located in the Asian part of Istanbul... it's about Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. It is 50 km between the airport and the city and access is difficult because you have to cross the Bosphorus sea channel. Your scammer will be delighted.

Hobdi -> Green Same account as previously, already reported. Meanwhile, via Jim's compromised computer, the nefarious harker Mr.Oliver Ibori Oyinlola is following this exchange of mails with interest.
By the time Jim reads the message from Zazah, with his bank details, it's somehow got a bit garbled. In particular, although Jim doesn't notice, the bank account is now in Accra Ghana.
Jim lets Katherine know which account Zazah wants his gratuity payment paid to.

you're not telling me you will both end up in different cities??? Well, originally that was a mistake waiting to happen, because as chuckbutt points out, scammer seemed to think Istanbul is the capital. He's now reaffirmed that we meet in Istanbul so I guess that misunderstanding can't happen. On reflection, I should have just said that I'd meet him there, rather than ask for his confirmation. Birlic I think notes that the city is served by 2 airports however.

I don't think getting to such a point is at all likely, but suppose Jim & Zazah both arrive in Instanbul but at different airports. The natural thing to do would be to agree on some meeting spot elsewhere in the city.
Does anyone have suggestions as to suitably equipped locations?
Can only find places in Turkey far from Istanbul. Eg:
Think there were some in Istanbul but they've been switched off.
Only a remote possibility that a cam could come into play anyway. Without talking with Jim on the phone, I don't see scammer having enough faith to make any effort.

He will send you some of his partners. I don't think he will personally show up.

dm60: He is probably located somewhere in West Africa and works with various accomplices. I think your character should be concerned about his personal security and I think he should ask for some details and some pictures with the person in charge in Istanbul. Of course, Jim wants to see what the person who will be waiting for him at the airport looks like.

Couple of mail exchanges since then.
Green -> Hobdi
Hobdi -> Green
What I'd been thinking was to arrive at an airport somewhere to the east of turkey and then, assuming scammer to be based in Istanbul, meet somewhere inbetween, where one of the webcams I linked to above are. Doing tourist stuff with a large amount of cash is however inconsistent with being very concerned with peronal security. So I'll abandon that idea & try and get a photo.

dm60, I find it suspicious that your scammer doesn't seem eager to give details about the "agent in Istanbul". Normally, given your background in Greece, your character (Jim) should make it clear that he doesn't get on a plane as long as he doesn't know WHO to meet at Istanbul airport. Of course, a simple name is not enough. No Sir! Jim will want to see a copy of the agent's ID and also a real picture of the "agent" holding a large card with Jim's name on it. As is the case when a driver has to pick up a customer from the airport. I am convinced that it will not be easy for the scammer to deliver these 2 trophies , but finally he certainly has to do everything for the security of the transaction and it is a legitimate request that Jim has. Right?
