| This is one of the many scambaits I’ve had with the infamous Charles Soludo. Notice in the first email that he misspells his own last name – I hate it when I do that! Also, quite humorous was how “he discovered my precious name” in the second email. My emails are in blue, his/hers are in black, my comments in red. Happy reading! |

So, what you are saying is that my name wasn’t on a list or in your database, that you are just looking for someone to help you steal this money. Is that correct?
Thomas |
|
Dear Thomas,
The answer to your question is YES. If you agree to assist me you should let me know so that I can commence the process of the will in your favour as the Beneficiary to the fund. Regards, Prof.Charles C Soludo, CBN Governor www.centbank.org. |
|
Now was that so hard to tell me the truth? Instead of pretending that this transaction was something else, you could have been straight up with me and told me all this first. I know it must be difficult for you to be truthful, but if you expect me to help you, then it is the one thing I will insist on. So the answer is yes, I will take on this endeavor as long as you are up front with me about everything.

Atten: Thomas Payne,
Dear partner, How are you today, anyway i have expect to hear from you to give you the details of everything going on well, Sequel to your coming to Nigeria you will also need an attorney here in Nigeria to endorse the three classified document. Moreso, i have looked at it coming down here to pick an attorney and making it double, So i have yesterday apply for one of the accredited attorney in Nigeria National petroleum corporation (NNPC) whom will assist you overhere to endorse the document as the original beneficiary of this fund usd14M However, please write to him with a power of attorney telling him you want him to represent you here as a local representative to endorse the three classified document of your contract entitlement fund executed with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, he will notify you as well. but please never tell him this is a deal, it is only both of us and my colleague knows that this is a deal, but the accredited attorney believe you are the original contractor that does the contract. So, contact him so that he will assist you to procure / to obtain the document. Moreso, please use his office contact to reach him immediately you receive this mail.

I’m sorry, I will not give a lawyer who I have not met or don’t know a Power of Attorney – that would be foolish. I will either find my own lawyer or come there myself to conduct this transaction.
Thanks, Thomas |
|
Dear Thomas Payne,
How are you doing I do hope fine. please give response to my mail, this is because the accredited attorney from (NNPC ) Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, the Attorney is waiting to hear from you for him to start the processing of the three classified document. I will call you later today for discussion. Awaiting to hear from you soonest. Regards. Prof.Charles C. Soludo......... |
|
I don’t care if he is the Grand Poobah of all lawyers on Earth. I would never hire a lawyer who I knew nothing about. Do you realize how stupid this would be? I might as well through my money out of the freaking window. I will find my own lawyer – who are they to tell me I have to use their lawyer. That is ridiculous!
Thomas |

Atten: Thomas Payne,
Dear Partner, Based on your e-mail to me as regards hiring a lawyer yourself or you come down to Nigeria, I have the honour to inform you that you cannot hire a lawyer yourself, why, because the lawyer must me an accredited legal consultant to CBN and must be a notary public officer and a registered member of Nigeria Bar Association{NBA}.Therefore Mr. Thomas, I am in a better position to tell you what to do regarding this transaction. Thanks for your understanding awaiting your urgent respond. Yours in service, Prof. Charles C. Soludo Governor CBN. |

Ok, good luck to you then.
Thomas |

You misunderstand my meaning. I mean ‘good luck to you then’ as in go find some other patsy to help you. I will not use a lawyer that I don’t know and if you insist on this then good luck in your search for a new person to help you.
Thomas |
| I did this to get him off his script and force him into unfamiliar territory. I figured he would beg me to come back and figure out another way to induce the fees, etc. into the scam. But I have not heard from him since! Oh well, taking the hard line stance like I do with these idiots, you’re bound to lose a few… Did you like that slip that he didn’t say anything about when I referred to myself as “one of his victims, oops, clients”? He didn’t even bat an eye at that! |
