I have been corresponding with Mr Uzoka on and off since June. He eventually wisened up to my antics and stopped responding in October, but not after I had extracted two mule bank accounts and reported them both (via another forum). Going through my old correspondence a few days ago, I sent him another e-mail asking if I could send the funds, and to my amazement, he replied. He now believes, over the course of our entire correspondence, that I have tried a Walmart transfer, a bank transfer, and a trip to an Apple store, with many modalities along the way (needing to contact an uncle for approval as part of a cultural tradition, needing to gather the money, declining to use bank accounts on various pretenses, trying to send the money via bank transfer but being blocked from doing so as I had shown the teller his emails.) With an inheritance of $8.5 million on the line, Mr Goreman feels that travelling to Africa would be the most straightforward option to deliver the fee, though he has not yet revealed this to Mr Uzoka.
This just goes to show you should never burn your lads - this resurrection of the bait would never have been possible had I called Mr Uzoka a 'silly mugu' as a parting shot, even when I believed we were finished.
So, being such a new baiter as I am, is it advisable to try to get Mr Uzoka to go on safari? Should I prolong the straight bait before doing so? What is your advice? Note also that I am not actually aware of his location - all of his mules so far have been American and he claims to be located in New York.

The first step would be to determine where your scammer is located. 99% sure he is not in the US. What reason does Mr. Goreman have to travel to Africa? Is the 8.5 million located there?

My plan is to offer to have a relative in New York pay the fee and collect the money. This would be the most straightforward option, given all of our recent difficulties. He would then have to divulge that he was not in New York. After that I could offer to go to Africa.

How large is the fee? It will need to be a decent amount for a scammer to travel. You seem to have a basic outline of how you want to try for a safari. Go with it! Make changes according to how your scammer reacts.
When you offer to have a relative pay the fee in person, I expect the scammer will insist on payment via any and all of the means you've already tried, again. I'm not sure that he will just divulge that he is in Africa.
Try it and then see where you stand. Let us know!

If we do not know the whole story and have not read his lines, it is difficult to appreciate the situation correctly. - He will probably refuse to meet with your relative and will ask that the money be paid "classically". - He is probably somewhere in Africa, and in the USA he only has one mule. |

The morning after I left the Apple store in frustration over his failure to call me, after about an hour of waiting and repeatedly e-mailing him, he replied: As you see he does not seem too amenable to any meeting in person just yet and I am now waiting for him to provide an alternative proposal. He has provided me a Walmart transfer recipient in Oklahoma and bank accounts in California, Maine, and New York, so he may have access to several mules. Of course it is very unlikely that he himself is in the United States. I have only had about 120 e-mails back and forth with him so far, and have not yet spoken together on the phone; perhaps it is necessary to build additional rapport before attempting a safari. |

Absolutely true. Building rapport and establishing credibility are crucial to any bait if you intend trying for a safari, or a trophy, or anything on that scale. In this instance, I would say that a safari is definitely a long shot, because I doubt that Mr Kennedy is going to admit that he's in Africa.
But did he actually give an address in NYC and claim it as his own; for example, in a letterhead? You might tell him that your younger brother went to that address to pay the money and met someone who worked for Mr Kennedy and received the payment. Give the stranger a Nigerian (or Ghanaian) sounding name, perhaps. It would rile Mr Kennedy, that's for damn sure.

It seems that this bait has come to an end as Mr Uzoka has not replied to my e-mails for three days. I suppose I should have expected as much from a lad who had already resolved that I was messing with him. I waited for a while to reply to your query, thinking he would return, but sadly this is not the case. To answer your question, the address he provided was 1 Rockefeller Plaza where the United Bank for Africa has an office.
This was our final correspondence:

I have decided to organize a mass bait as a final sendoff for my old friend and my first long-term lad (9 months and counting on and off). There is just one catch - I am the only participant in the mass bait. I have been working on this for a few days now, with three characters currently engaged separately with Mr Uzoka, and I will continue creating and adding more until I decide to stop. Then, in about a week, all of my characters, all at the same time, will ask Mr Uzoka (in different ways and with different words, corresponding to the particular characters) if they can get their friend Jebediah Goreman, who once worked as a banker and should be more knowledgable about finance, involved in the transaction, so as to speed it along. The objective is to supremely confuse Mr Uzoka, and hopefully receive a nice long rant from this lad. I will report back with the results whenever they emerge.
As an aside, here are the last emails me and Mr Uzoka exchanged. The lad is gone, but not forgotten.
