My first serious attempt to get a scammer to send me a dumb picture of himself. The picture was dumb, but not quite what I wanted. My talk is in bold, annotations in parentheses.
Attn:Sir
How are you today? I hope you have receive your funds? Very sorry i saw your funds file what of ($US 22, 500,000.00) on Contract No:FGCR/FED/PED/SAP/X91-94 Million United State Dollars marked with red here, then i decided to write you. But if only you will obey and follow my instructions, You will surely receive it soon.
Why are you driving forward on a reverse gear. You cannot make a headway because you are putting the cart before the horse. Even the holy book the bible said what can the righteous do if the foundation is bad.
You can not receive your fund because the proper something has not been done and that your fund has not been properly approved from the authorized approving quarters.
My name is Mr Edet Okon,the Director of Operations,Federal Ministry of finance Abuja Nigeria.
Please call me let me tell you a simple thing to do and you will see your fund in your bank account in 7 working days.
I am not joking,I am serious.You have suffered enough.
Reach me through the email: edetokon44@hotmail.com
Mr Edet Okon
Director of Operation
Ministry Of Finance
Dear Edet Okon:
I really want to do the proper something. When I put the cart before the horse and tried to go in reverse, I realized what a fool I was. Please help me Mr. Okon. I know I've dug this pit I'm in, but you must have mercy and help me. I'm in bad shape financially, and with a business trip coming up in two days, I have little time to waste. Please reply back to me as soon as you read this letter.

Dear Sir
Thanks for your mail response.Have you ask your self why have i not yet receive this very fund for a very long time now. Let me first informed you know that before any fund will transfer to
you , It must be properly approve. The reason being that the foundation of the fund was faulty. I am the director of Operations, Federal ministry of finance Abuja Nigeria.
Sir, the funniest aspect of the whole thing is that the process of securing genuine approval is just a small amount of money, I am talking about something like $490 but the only thing is that it must be properly approved through a federal high court of Nigeria. Get in touch with me so that I can explain everything to you because once we secure the court approval, your fund will be in your account within one week.
Again, once We get the approval and the permission for your fund to be broken up and be paid in bits, then you are as good as paid because anybody telling you that you will be paid a large sum of money once now is a joker because we are under recession and does not have money as before.
I will advise you to do your possible best to send the money soon today through western union or money gram with the name below.
Receiver's name: JAMES UCHE NWAOGU
Address:91 Bank Street Abuja Nigeria
Amount:$490.00
My Regards.

Please call me 2348020999313
Dear Mr Okon:
Everything in me says I should follow your advice. But one thing is holding me back. First, I leave for a business trip tomorrow. Secondly, I need a photograph of yourself so that I may ensure all is genuine. After I receive your photograph, I will be more than willing to proceed with this transaction.
Dear Alex Gaarsland
I want you to trust this very transaction that is for real no doubt about it ok, Go ahead and send your full information details and also make the requested payment to enable us move forward in this very transaction. I will be waiting to hear from you soon.I have attached my office id card here for you to see who i am Mr Edet Okon.
(No clue who this bozo is in the passport he sent, but I doubt it really is Mr. Okon. The passport is attached at the bottom of this post)
Dear Mr Okon:
I am sorry, but that photograph isn't exactly what I wanted . Do not misunderstand, I like your promptness very much, and am excited to get on with the transaction. But its very easy for an identification card to be forged, and the chances of forgery are too high.We are dealing with too much money to put it at risk of theft by someone pretending to be you. Therefore, I am afraid I must ask you for another photo. Here is what I wish you to do. I am part of a group called the "Bee Keepers of the Red Cross." To show friendliness to our group, we require members to paint a red X on their face. This may sound silly, but it is the only way I can think of to prove that we can trust each other. Please paint a red X across your face and take a photograph of yourself with the mark on your face. Send me the photograph at this email. After I receive the image, I promise that there will be no more delay. We will get straight to business.

Dear Alex Gaarsland
I have just gone through your mail with great concern. You react as if you are paying this money to me. Please I want you to remove such impression from your mind. To have been deceived by these little crooks does not mean that all prominent Nigerian is a thief. Even though fraud seems to have institutionalized here in Nigeria , but we still have decent and clean images, some of us treasure our reputation individually and collectively and our law enforcement takes this very seriously.
(This made me suspicious. I never said anything about Nigerian thieves. I think somebody’s guilt is showing through)
This post was handed over to me with a lot of caution, and I accepted it with all honesty. Therefore, I should be a fool to do or get involved into anything that will mar my new position. I am given you my full assurance that as soon as you pay for this very approval fee charges, consider your funds already with you. I will not be able to send you any more photo of mine ok.
Think about it all and get back to me.
Mr Edet Okon
Dear Mr. Okon:
I do not intend to offend you or question your honesty. I know I'm not paying you, but the Federal Ministry. However, I've been contacted by evil people, not from Nigeria, but from Zimbabwe, Austria, and other places saying they had money for me, so I have some caution. As I said in a previous email, everything in me wants to trust you. I'm very sorry about this confusion over photographs, but please, understand that here in America, we do business in ways that may seem strange or offensive to others. It is not our intent to offend, it is just our culture to exercise care in our business dealings. If you cannot send me a photo, then the least you can do is send me an audio recording of yourself saying these words "I, EDET OKON, SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO THE BEE KEEPERS OF THE RED CROSS," That will be sufficient for me.
Alex Gaarsland
Mr Alex, Look , I am not interested in your so called the bee keepers of the red cross ok. I want you to trust this very transaction that is for real no doubt about it ok, Go ahead and send your full information details and also make the requested payment to enable us move forward in this very transaction ok. I just you to receive your fund that is all ok.
Please re-confirm the following;
Your Full Names,
Your Surface Address,
Your Direct Phone Number
I will be waiting to hear from you soon.
Mr Edet Okon.
Dear Mr. Okon:
Very well. I have done my utmost to comply with you, yet you will not do me this simple favor and comply with me. I suppose that this means our business dealings are at an end. Contact me if you have a change of heart.

Alex's Honey Farm
Look, I have no reason what so ever to comply with your so called bee keepers of the red cross ok. For you to insist on me to comply with it, you must be a joker ok. You dont even talk about how you can receive your payment here.Even to send any of your contact details you did not send any. I see you as a joker. Please if you are not willing to make the requested payment do not border to write me again ok.
Bye
Dear Mr. Okon:
I am not a joker. I'm a serious businessman. I run my own company (Alex's Honey Farm) and have been doing so for the past 4 years. I'm not going to talk about how
I can receive my payment until you talk about how you can receive my instructions in a more polite manner than you just did. I'll send some contact details, but only to pacify you. If you still aren't happy, your colleague Mr. Henry Makonda has offered to help me receive my fund. I can work with him instead of you.

You can go ahead with Mr. Henry Makonda ok
bye go way far way ok
(What gets me is that Mr. Makonda doesn’t even exist! I made him out of whole cloth, yet this scammer recommends me to him!)
I didn't expect you to reply, but I guess you deserve to know the truth. From the start I knew you were a scammer. I never received email from you, I found your email on an antivirus site and decided to play around with you. There is no Alex Gaarsland. He is imaginary, as is the Order of the Bee Keeper Cross, or whatever that was I sent you. I must congratulate you on your persistence with trying to keep suckering money out of me. Thanks for the fun!

Dear Edet Okon:
You're right. I have suffered enough. I got stung by bees twice today, on the eye and leg. Hearing I can't get the money I deserve just made my wounds hurt more. You're correct when you say I'vesuffered enough. But that Holy Book said "Man is born to suffer as the sparks fly upwards."
I really want to do the proper something. When I put the cart before the horse and tried to go in reverse, I realized what a fool I was. Please help me Mr. Okon.
