Russian To Africa

This was one of two “Russians” whose IP Address traced back to Nigeria that I was baiting at the same time. I have about 7 scambaits going on at the same time so this one really does not get the attention she deserves… My emails are in blue, his/hers are in black, my comments in red. Happy reading!

Why did you contact me? Do you always contact random people from the internet with business deals of this magnitude? Sounds like someone should have stayed in school a teensy bit longer.

Where are you at right now?

Regards,
Thomas

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for your mail and understanding in this transaction.

Mr. Thomas you have confidentiality of this transaction, please I don’t want you to relate it to anybody to keep us in a safe part, I know you perfectly understand all this.

I will need a scan copy of your ID or passport number so that I can use it to prepare the DEED OF AGREEMENT that will bond the both of us in this transaction, right now I am in Russia.

Do get back to me with all this information I have requested from you, so that I can proceed to make the DEED OF AGREEMENT.

Regards

Larisa

I asked where you were right now.

Here is my ID.

Thomas

I traced her IP Address – yep, Nigeria.

Dear Thomas,

Thanks for the ID.

I have send your information to my attorney to get the DEED OF AGREEMENT done, He said he will be sending the DEED OF AGREEMENT to me by Monday as soon as my attorney send it back to me I will send it to you so that you can sign and send it back to me.

I said i am in Moscow Russia right now.

Thanks for your understanding.

Larisa

Okay, thanks. It’s nice to see that you are actually coming through in this transaction, contrary to my initial instincts. Think of it, if I would have followed my gut feeling about you being an incompetent buffoon, we wouldn’t be this close to bring this project to fruition. You should be proud that you conquered the odds and accomplished something worthy in your life. Mighty impressive…

Thomas

DEAR THOMAS S. PAYNE,

THIS IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF YOUR EMAIL. I AM GLAD TO HAVE YOU AS MY PARTNER IN THIS TRANSACTION. FROM YOUR EMAIL I CAN SEE A CLEAR INDICATION OF YOUR COMMITMENT TO THIS BUSINESS INTEREST.

HAVING AGREED TO GO INTO PARTNERSHIP IN THIS VENTURE, THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR US TO DEFINE OUR RESPONSIBILITIES BEFORE GETTING DEEP INTO THE PROJECT AS THAT WILL HELP BOTH PARTIES TO BE WELL ACQUAINTED WITH OUR VARIOUS RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH WE ARE EXPECTED TO CARRY OUT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THAT YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE IN THIS VENTURE IS FOR YOU TO OPEN AN OFFSHORE ACCOUNT AND THIS ACCOUNT MUST BE WITH THE SAME FINANCE INSTITUTION IN WHICH THE FUNDS WAS DEPSOITED (THE REASON FOR THIS WILL BE EXPLAINED IN THIS EMAIL AS YOU PROGRESS). YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCOUNT SETTING-UP PROCESS AND YOU WILL BEAR ALL EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROCESS (IF ANY) WHILE I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LEGAL CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERFECTION OF ALL LEGAL DOCUMENTATIONS.

THIS IS BECAUSE I CAN PAY ANY MONEY RIGHT HERE IN RUSSIA BUT AT THIS MOMENT I CANNOT SEND OUT ANY MONEY DUE TO THE RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON ME BY THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT BECAUSE OF THE TRIALS WHICH MY BOSS IS PRESENTLY FACING. MOREOVER,I BELIEVE THAT PARTNERSHIP IS ALL ABOUT MUTUAL CONTRIBUTION AND BENEFIT FOR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. THE FUNDS WILL BE TRANSFERED FROM THE BANK ACCOUNT WHERE IT PRESENTLY LIES INTO YOUR NEWLY ESTABLISHED ACCOUNT WITH THE BANK WHICH I AM GOING TO INTRODUCE TO YOU.

I ALSO DID INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE MAPED OUT ALL POSSIBLE WAYS TO SEE THIS PROJECT THROUGH TO SUCCESS, HENCE THE NEED I HAVE TO EXPALIN PROPERLY TO YOU WHY THIS PLAN WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY POSSIBLE GETTING THE FUNDS ACROSS TO ANY OF YOUR DESIGNATED ACCOUNT OF YOUR CHOICE BUT ITS SO UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS METHOD CANT BE USED IN EXECUTING A PROJECT OF THE SORT AND MAGNITUDE BECAUSE THE MONETARY BODY WOULD OR MIGHT INVESTIGATE ABOUT THE FUND IN QUESTION WHEN A LARGE SUM OF THIS AMOUNT IS BEEN TRANSFERED FROM THE COUNTRY.BASICALLY BECAUSE OF THIS REASON I HAVE DECIDED WE USE THE SAME BANK IN EUROPE THAT HAS A TRANSACTION AGREEMENT TERMS WITH OUR BANK IN RUSSIA AND ALSO BOTH BANKS SHARE SAME TELEX TYPE. THIS METHOD STANDS AS THE FASTEST,SAFEST AND EASIEST MEANS THE FUND CAN LEAVE THAT ESCROW ACCOUNT AFTER ALL DOCUMENTS IN YOUR NAME AND FAVOUR HAS BEEN FILED FOR APPLICATION OF FUND RELEASE. BOTH FINANCE ESTABLISHMENTS HAVE SIGNED A TRANSACTION AGREEMENT TERMS (MY COMPANY AND THE BANK) AND YOU ARE STANDING AS A CONTRACTOR TO MY COMPANY ( YUKOS OIL) WHICH IS ANOTHER ADDED ADVANTAGE WE HAVE IN GETTING THE FUND EASILY TO YOUR NEWLY ESTABLISHED ACCOUNT WITH THE BANK. PLEASE ATTACHED TO THIS E-MAIL IS THE DEED OF AGREEMENT PREPARE BY MY ATTORNEY.

I WANT YOU TO READ BOTH PAGES VERY CAREFULLY AND IF SATISFIED AFTER PERUSAL,DO SIGN IT AND RETURN TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO THAT I CAN FURNISH YOU WITH THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE BANK SO YOU CAN MAKE ENQUIRIES ON HOW TO SET-UP AN OFFSHORE TRANSIT ACCOUNT WITH THIER FINANCE ESTABLISHMENT.
I AWAIT YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE TO THIS MAIL.

BEST REGARDS TO YOU AND THE FAMILY.
LARISA.

I am not sure what you mean about being responsible for all expenses associated with opening an online account with the bank. You realize that opening a bank account is free, right? No banks charge money to open a bank account. I will have my lawyer look over this document and then I will sign it and get it back to you upon his recommendation.

Thank you,

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

You have to understand that the kind of account you are require to open is not just an online account, It an Offshore Online Account.

Maybe in the USA they don’t require fee, but you are to open this account in UK with the information of the bank I will be giving to you as soon as you have sign the DEED OF AGREEMENT.

I wait to get the document from you so that we can proceed further.

Regards

Larisa

Have you ever opened a bank account before? Doesn’t seem like it, which is kind of weird. Banks do not charge you to open a bank account. Final. End of story.

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

I know in all country they don’t require money to open saving account, I have told you in my pervious mail that this is not a saving account it an Offshore Account you can ask from your bank what does it take to get an Offshore account in the UK BANK, because the details of the bank I will be giving to you where you are to set up the account is a bank in the UK as soon as I receive the sign DEED OF AGREEMENT I will send you the bank information for you to contact them yourself and inquire what it will cost you to get an offshore account with them.

I hope I have made myself clear? And let me know if you are still interested in this transaction because I cannot understand you anymore, I told you from the on set that this transaction should be keep as secret I don’t know why you want to show the document I sent to you to attorney.

Do get back to me with your decision.

Regards

Larisa

Why exactly do you think I should not show this document to my lawyer? You said yourself that this is a totally legitimate transaction, right? At some point in the future when you open a bank account for the first time in your life, you will see that not only is opening an account is free, but sometimes you get a free toaster.

Thomas

Where did you say you are located right now?

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

I told you before that I am is Russia right now, Please do let me know if you are still interested or not.

You are delaying this transaction.

Larisa

Then why are your emails coming from Nigeria?

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

Yes presently I am in Nigeria.

I never wanted to disclose my location to anybody for security reason.

Like I said before as soon as the money is transfer to your account I will be coming over to your country so that I can invest my share of the money in your country and leave a normal life again.

Larisa

Since you are a lying whore, you can go fuck yourself, you dumb bitch. You preach to me about honesty and trust and you have the gall to lie to me about you living in that cesspool? How dare you? I must tell you that this does explain a lot; like not knowing anything about how to open a bank account, or how to spell common words. I pity you.

Love,
Thomas

That was it – this one ended because I was sick of her and scambaiting in general. I have a lot of scambaits going on at one time, and I'm working on a big project for work, so something had to give…

Don’t worry, I am not done with scambaiting, just needed a small break!
