Nigerian scammers John. You've been RV'ing in the boondocks too long. For fun, I suggest this site, particularly 'The Trophy Room'. https://www.419eater.com

Yea, these scams have been around for decades.

Sadly, people must still fall for them as they still send them out.

I had a lot of fun with one of these scammers several years ago. I carried on a correspondence with them. It took them awhile but they finally either looked up or called the phone number and address I gave them. I don't think they ever caught the name though. Let me see if I still have it all in my old email. It may take a few posts to show it all

I want you to know that there are no risks involved anymore because all the risk in getting this consignment to the states has already been taken care of by me. All I need is someone that is capable enough to take care of it and has a good place to stash up the consignment for me till I can leave the UK and get to you.

I am a single Father with two kids, I would not get my self involve in anything that is illegal. My kids are my pride. We shall relocate to your country as soon as the consignment gets delivered to you, I need your 100% assurance now that you will not betray me or made away with the consignment when it is delivered to you.

All you will have to do now is to contact the diplomat and you will tell him that you are contacting on behalf of Mr. George Padmore who handed over a consignment to him. .Tell him that you have been out of town for some time now and you just came back that you will like to know what and what is needed for you to clear the consignment and for them to deliver it to your address because it will have to deliver it to the address you will give to them. I also told them that when the person who is the owner comes back that he or she would contact them ok.

I also want you to know that there are some demurrages which has to be settled before the diplomat will get the consignment to you, which i will want you to handle as i spent all i have in getting consignment shipped to New York and i think it will not cost you much so please i would like you to try as much as you can to meet up with that. This is my private number where you can reach me (+44) 7024027478 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting (+44) 7024027478 end_of_the_skype_highlighting

Listen friend, its not my wish that you spend a penny from your pocket but as it is right now I have spent all the money I have ever worked for just to make sure that the boxes get to New York safely so please you have to try to understand, I promise you that at the end of this transaction you will be very happy and will never regret partaken in this transaction I also want you to know that it’s a life time opportunity please I do not want us to miss it.

I will wait to hear from you so that i can give you the contact of the diplomat so that you can contact him and find out how much it will cost for you to clear and for them to deliver it to your address. Please note I am ready to release 40% of the total sum to you and the both of us are going to pay the fees together.

Waiting to hear from you as soon as possible, as this transaction is going to be of great benefit for you and me. View attachment to see my passport and i also want you to send to me via attachment a copy of your passport or driver's license so i will also know who am dealing with.

Dearest John E. Hoover,
Your email was well noted. I must say that your mail gave me light and joy that this consignment will be safe when it gets to you until my arrival to meet with you in your country. I will really love to invest and I know you can help me out in that too. In any case let us move forward with this transaction immediately.

This is the contact of the diplomat
Name: Mr. John Johnson
Phone Number: 217 364 3413
Email Add: cargo25shipping@gmail.com


Contact him tell him that you are contacting him on behalf of Mr. George Padmore who handed over a consignment to him that you are the real owner of the consignment that you have been out of town on a business trip that you just came back and you want to know how much it will cost to clear and for them to deliver your consignment to the address which you will give to them. Also give them your full names and phone number.

It is best you contact them through email so that when they ask you any question you can come back to me immediately in other to let you know what to tell them. I will like you to also give them this code 1142 because it is the code i use that when the real owner contacts him that he or she will send this code ok. I will wait to hear from you as soon as you contact him. My number is (+44) 7024027478 you can reach me on this number at any point in time ok it is my private number.

This transaction is not going to take more than 3 working days for us to conclude it, After you receive the consignment i shall give you the combination code to open up the consignment boxes so that you take some money out of it and send to me to arrange my traveling to join you in your country. Please let me know as soon as you contact the diplomat.

Warm regards,
Mr. George Padmore

George, are you sure of that phone number for the diplomat in New York. My sister lives in ILLINOIS and has the same area code. Was that just a typo? Can you please make sure of it? I don't want to mess up and call the wrong person and let anything slip out about our transaction. I am getting extremely excited about all of this. Please feel free to call me at home, at the number listed in our previous emails.

John Hoover

In other news, yesterday a Mr. George Padmore was found deceased at his luxury home in the suburbs of Lagos, Nigeria. Police also found 85 million dollars in US bills in the home. Servants there said Mr. Padmore had been trying to give the money away to perfect strangers for several years.

It's stuff like this that makes me proud of that guy in Chicago who pulled the hoax on being attacked.

Many people are upset with him, but not me. I realized he is the first American to scam two Nigerians.
