| Mac's Bait Store | Worms Maggots Leeches 419 Scammers |
| This is a typical Bank Scam where they lead you to a fake bank website and have to open an account or pay transfer charges to the bank. I never let it get that far by carefully inspecting the website and complaining about everything wrong with and eventually finding the right website. This pisses the scammers off when I discover the real website – because they can’t say it isn’t authentic, can they? My emails are in blue, his/hers are in black, my comments in red. Happy reading! |

From: CHIEF JAMES ONANEFE IBORI [mailto:chief_jamesibori59@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2009 9:58 PM Subject: EXGOVERNOR JAMES IBORI (DELTA STATE) Importance: High Dear Sir/Madam, I am looking for your cooperation in building a Tourist Hotel or Real Estate in your country. I am sorry if this is not in line with your profession. I need an experienced person like you to assist me to set up, develop the project and assume responsibility of ownership as chairman but will be bringing in profit /distribute profit monthly or annually. I shall give you more information. Please contact me at my private email: chief_jamesibori59@yahoo.co.uk Regards, Chief (Governor) James Ibori. |

What are you contacting some random person from the internet to help you in this endeavor? Why do you need my help?
James |
| I will contact you through my private email address. |
|
Okay Spanky, sounds like a good plan. I agree that you shouldn’t use your Official Business Yahoo Free Email Account for personal or confidential purposes. Get a hold of me on your personal account.

Compliments,
Thanks for your prompt response to my mail and your williness to partner with me in this Project. I am very sorry for the delay in responding to your mail, this has been due to my health condition. Based on the early notification mail sent to you, I wish to inform you that I was the immediate Ex-Governor of Delta state, the richest oil-producing state in Africa and I know you will be familiar with my predicaments. Read below this BBC article dated 12 December 2007, to have a better understanding of my situation: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7141047.stm I sent our current conversational status to my attorney and I've been advised to proceed with you, and get some clarifications both ways. Before I am able to give out the information that will enable you access the funds to proceed with this investment project, I would need some information from you: 1.Your full name and complete address 2.Your mobile telephone number and any of your identity All the answers will be kept very confidential. I must explain why I am asking these questions: If you do have existing profile problems, We may end up inheriting your backlog thus creating a problem where none exist. I intend to liquidate a large investment (worth over USD$50,000,000.00 with a bank), and take the capital appr. derivative to provide a new investment fund, under your management for this investment project, thus negating any requirements for taxation or declaration of process for income generation. However, if you do have issues prior to this, it puts anything you do in the light, and thus puts me in an uncomfortable situation. As you see, my assets are frozen in Switzerland, and while I have excess of USD$5Billion lying there, I am unable to liquidate them, or use them as guarantee for payment of the USD$3.5Billion back taxes inflicted on me by the government. If the situation does not improve, I shall be bankrupt before the end of first quarter next year. The funds being liquidated arise from independent investments of my conglomerate outside the African soil, so we can legitimately do so, only if this is done quietly. If the authorities hear about this, I shall have to tender it for hearing before the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), and that will cripple me. Hence answer the questions in honesty, and let me know that I am comfortable with you. I am trying to ensure that you do not put me in any trouble, and likewise, I shall provide you with an input as an entity with no history to the investment. As soon as I get the necessary informations above, I will immediately forward your personal datas to my attorney to revalidate all necessary documents in your favour to enpower you act as the beneficiary of the funds and enable you proceed with the investment project. While this process is going on and I await the verdict of the court, I will be making preparations to meet with you in your country of residence to enable us discuss in details on the modalities of the investment project. Thanks for your cooperation, bye now and hope to hear from you soon. Regards, Chief (Governor) James Ibori Tel: +234-7060420042 |
|
I was eager to help you in this endeavor, but all of your babbling about the EFCC and your government has gotten me scared. I really don’t want to go to jail or cross your government. I think that I had better pass on this deal.
James |

Please send me your informations so that I can forward them to the lawyer who will prepare the documents.While this process is going on and I await the verdict of the court, I will be making preparations to meet with you in your country of residence to enable us discuss in details on the modalities of the investment project.

Can you read English? I haven’t said that I would help you or get involved with this – I asked why you contacted me in this regard. After reading this last email that you wrote, I think that I better not get involved – it sounds like it could be more trouble than it’s worth. The last thing I need is problems with the EFCC or anything like that.
James |
|
There is never be any problem, my attorney is the one fronting. He will take care of everything. Gov. James O. Ibori. |
|
What is this supposed to mean?
James |
| I mean there is no risk involved |
|
That what was all of this about the EFCC and you worrying about the government finding out? What happens if they do? I am not going to go to jail because of this.
James |
| There will never be any problem, that has been solved. |
|
So what do we need to do?
James |
|
I will need the informations i requested from you to forward to my attorney to proceed. Gov. James O. Ibori. |
|
Here is the info you requested.
James Cagney 1778 Northeast Avenue Akron, Ohio 44305 USA 330-634-0638 |

Dear James Cagney,
This is to acknowledge receipt of your mail. Your information have been forwarded to my attorney with instructions to revalidate all legal documents in your favor to enable you assume beneficiary status of the funds and empower you claim the funds from the bank. Every documentation that will back up this fund will be changed to your name by my attorney and he will advise you on how to reach the bank, where this money was lodged as the original beneficiary of the funds (USD$50 Million). As soon as these documents are prepared, original copies of the documents will be faxed to the bank to inform them of the change of beneficiary. My attorney will give credit advise to the bank to provide you with information to access the funds and ensure that the entire money (USD$50 Million) is transferred to a more secured bank account. I need you to know that me and my family are depositing a great trust in you. Thanks for your cooperation and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Chief (Governor) James Ibori. |

From: Donny Afuze [mailto:bar.donnyafuze@live.com] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 12:33 PM To: j.cagney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com Subject: POA From Barrister Donny S. Afuze. ATTN: James Cagney, I am Donny S. Afuze (Esq) of Afuze Chambers and Attorney to Chief James Onanefe Ibori of Delta State, Nigeria. Your information was forwarded to me by my client Chief James Onanefe Ibori to prepare you as his trustee/beneficiary to claim funds worth Fifty Million United States Dollars deposited with a Financial Institution. Attached are copies of the Power of Attorney for your record. Original copies of these documents and other legal papers have been faxed to the Financial Institution with credit advice to transfer the funds (US$50 Million) into your care in your favour. All information regarding the transfer have been forwarded to the Financial Institution. Yours in service, Donny Afuze (Esq). Silly looking POA sent to me – riddled with spelling errors. |
|
I just received the PoA from you concerning Chief Ibori – I need you to correct the spelling errors in the document and to resend them to me.
Thank you very much, James |
| What correction please? |
|
I mean to correct all of the spelling errors in the PoA you sent me. I am not signing a legal document that has a bunch of spelling errors in it.
James |
|
Am sorry for the spelling error, i have rectify if and am sending it again.
Regards, James O. Ibori. |
|
Thank you for correcting some of the errors, although September is spelled like this (not semtember).
I noticed that in this email you just sent me you signed it with the name “James O. Ibori” instead of your name “Donny S. Afuze”. Did you forget your name? I didn’t mean to confuse you so you would forget your own name and use my business partner’s name. That is strange. Might want to write your own name on your hand so next time you write an email you can remember what your name is. James |
|
James, No, it's not like that, i was try to refer it to my client and you at the same time, that was what happen. Donny Afuze Esq. |
|
So when you signed your email using James Ibori’s name, you were really trying to tell me that you were just referencing his name? And you didn’t sign it at all with you own name…Hmmmm, that’s weird. I guess someone should you teach you to type a letter properly. Ah well, we can’t all be educated. Okay, I will send all of the information that you sent me to the bank, I just wanted to clear this little matter up.
Thanks, James |
| Interjection – in most scams, the original scam artist will pass off the scam to the next level, who is usually the closer in the transaction. It is known that this second level is the higher up and the first gets a percentage of the scam amount if the closer closes. I usually don’t check, because I don’t care who I am dealing with, but in this case I did check their IP Addresses and it just so happens that they are exactly the same. This means that the “lawyer” and the “Chief” are most likely the same person or at the very least, using the same computer (at the internet café). This explains why the lawyer signed the name, James Ibori, to his email. Obviously, this scammer is extremely stupid and gets confused easy. |
|
I am still waiting for the attorney to send me a revised PoA, because the first one was riddled with spelling errors that needs corrected. I’ll let you know when I get the new one.
James |
|
OK, how far have you gone with the bank? Respond now. |
|
First of all, speak to me a little more politely and don’t bark orders at me. I am still waiting for the lawyer to send me a corrected PoA. The bank stated that they need the PoA plus some other documents, but I can’t send them the PoA until the errors are corrected.
James |
|
James, OK, i have called my attorney and he told me he will rectify it and get back to you tomorrow, i also call the bank and i was informed they need just your identity to reconfirm as my attorney has already send them all legal paper making you the heir to the estate, send the bank your identity to reconfirm, do that now. Gov. James O. Ibori. |
|
Okay, thanks – I will wait until I get the corrected PoA and when the lawyer gets a hold of me.
James |
|
Dear James,
What's going on? I called the bank, i was informed they have contacted you and there was no response from you, why the delay? Gov. James O. Ibori. |
|
The bank requested those forms from me and I needed the corrected Power of Attorney!!!! Can you read?
James |
| I have told him, he is on it. |
|
I have no confidence in this lawyer – not only can’t he spell simple words, he seems to have forgotten his own name in his last email and he thinks he is you.
This was his last email to me from this email address (bar.donnyafuze@live.com) Dear James, Am sorry for the spelling error, i have rectify if and am sending it again. Regards, James O. Ibori. I have never seen a lawyer who forgets his own name in an email. We need to find a new lawyer because this person is incredibly stupid and obviously a complete and utter moron. That is unless this is really you, and you are pretending to be the lawyer too… James |
|
Dear James,
I called my attorney and he explain to me that it was not a mistake that he was trying to let you know that i told him to rectify the POA, listen, i work with Honesty/trust and Fair dealing, this transaction is very important to me, this is not a joke, he told me he has rectify the POA and sent to you, i will talk to him, send the bank and let's proceed. Sincerely, Gov. James o. Ibori. |
|
So why did he sign his email with your name? Are you sure that this moron is capable of helping us in this business. I have never met a lawyer that could not spell simple words in a legal document AND doesn’t know how to write a professional letter. Where did he get his Law License? A Cracker Jack box? Anywho, if you say he is capable of this, I’ll have to trust your word – hopefully he will be smart enough to correct the POA and get it back to me.
James |
| I have explained that to you, that he wanted to refer it to me as well, because i called him to rectify the error. |
|
I saw that you wrote in your email that the bank contacted me? I never received an email or phone call from them. What is their contact information or have them call me.
Thanks, James |
| You told me the bank has contacted you and demand the power of attorney, send them your identity and the power of attorney. |
|
I need the contact address of the bank! Is there a freaking echo in here? I just told you that I don’t have their contact information.
James |

|
Mr. Jeremy Devin The Director of Operations, Banco De Paribas Online & Tele Banking Here is the POA from Mr. James Ibori that he spoke with you about. Sorry about the spelling errors – I had the lawyer correct some of them but he was incompetent and that’s the best he could do. Thanks, James |
| What is the status? Have you contact the bank? We need to do this fast as time is not our friend on this. |
|
I just sent them the POA. Sorry about the delay.
James |
|
James,
I was informed the bank has sent you your account details, i need you to start transfering the funds to your personal account, this is very Vital. Respond now. Call me. Gov. James O. Ibori. |
|
Something is wrong here. I went to the banks website from the link he sent me and the website has all kind of errors and most of the links don’t work. I wasn’t able to log in as directed and the whole thing looks wrong.
James They send me a link to a fake bank website for Paribus Bank (which is a real bank). Whenever I get one of these, I browse through the whole website to see what works and what doesn’t. Most of the time, the only links or form that works is the one they specifically want you to use. |
| Have you contact the bank? |
|
I emailed them the same thing I sent you and they have not returned my email. Have you been to their website? The whole thing is screwed up. Look at it – most of the links don’t work, I keep getting errors, I can’t log in, etc.
Are you familiar with this bank? James |
| Yes, i have beenn banking with them for long, can you go to Bahamas? |
|
Did you look at their website? It is ridiculous. What would I need to go to the Bahamas for?
James |
| To inspect and clear the funds. |
|
If it was imperative that I go – I could. But it might take me a few weeks to make arrangements and everything.
James |
| OK, try and call the bank so you can start transfering the funds to your account. |
|
James;
I just did a search on Banco de Paribas and here is the correct website for the bank - http://www.bnpparibas.com/en/home/ That idiot gave us the wrong link to the bank, I think. I will call them and see what needs to be done to transfer the money. Thanks, James |
| OK, call the bank and get back to me quickly. |
|
I just looked on the website – it says that they don’t have a branch in the Bahamas.
James |
| That means that is not the correct site, call the bank. |
|
How many Banco de Paribas can there be??? The web site looks similar to the one that idiot sent me, but this time all of the links work. I will call the bank as you suggested – the phone number on this correct website is different from the one he gave me too. That’s weird…
James |
|
If you are not serious with this transaction and have to follow my directives to achieve success. This is not joking matter and you have to contact the banker at bd.paribas@financier.com. This is the correct email contact informations from the bank not where ever you got that address or phone number. Do this now a disrfegard any contact with other peoples at the so called bank.
Gov. James O. Ibori. |
|
So you want me to abandon contact with the people I spoke with from the real website of Banco de Paribas and go back to speaking with that idiot from the website where none of the links work? Is this right? It looks to me that your choice in bank contacts isn’t any better than your choice in lawyers as both are complete and utter morons. Since you want me to use the website that doesn’t work, how do you propose that I get this money transferred? Magic?
James |
|
You are not serious in the transaction and I will look for a new partner to help me in this matter. Please do not contact me again.
Gov. James O. Ibori. |
|
Did I offend you in some way? Or are you just feeble-minded? I thought I was dealing with a man, but obviously I was wrong. I don’t know why you are blaming or mad at me about everything – it was your choice in lawyers and banks that screwed everything up. I also see that the bank’s website that you gave me is now shut down – gee, that's weird, huh? I wonder why that happened. Well, I'm still here if you want to apologize to me and continue on with this. Let me know…
Thomas |
| After about twelve weeks of my questions, insults, and complaints – he finally gave up. Probably didn’t know what to do when his “bank” website was shut down, in which I may have had some hand in that... |
