DR ROY ROLU
Doctor Rolu replies and starts by rolling out the 'stumbling blocks' and
letting the scammer 'know' that Dr. Rolu has money to 'spare'.
Dear Dr. Shagaya:
I am somewhat confused. You must have me confused with someone else because
my name is not "Lucas". I am Dr. Roy Rolu. I am a research scientist for
the Prairie Heart Institute. I have been a heart surgeon for many years but
had to cease practicing medicine because of a serious automobile accident a
couple of years ago. My vocal chords were severed and, thus far, they have
not been able to re-attach them. As a consequence, I can not speak. I
correspond with a writing tablet type computer.
Your offer of 20% is most generous but I wonder whether or not I can be of
assistance.
First, my inability to speak does present some hardship in corresponding -
Email is the only way that I usually correspond.
Secondly, if I deposited such a huge amount of money into any of my
accounts, the government would be taxing me for almost 50% of the deposited
moneys. As it is now, the IRS audits my returns every year since the
multi-million dollar settlement I received after my auto accident.
I would be pleased to help in any way that I can but keep in mind the above
mentioned handicaps.
Thank you.
Dr. Roy Rolu
Shagaya starts reeling in the big fish. He considers Rolu's inability to
speak as an asset for his mission.

DR. WILLIAMS
A brief note to the scammer to get him to salivate over a possible big hit.
DR ROY ROLU
Dear Doctor Shagay
I received your correspondence last night and have just been able to get to
answer you. Please understand that I am anxious to participate in this
venture. Personal aggrandizement is not a factor because I have enough
wealth for my retirement. My automobile accident with a Ford Explorer with
Firestone tires was settled for just a bit over ten million dollars. After
paying my attorneys and taxes, I was left with less than half the amount.
Then, my spouse divorced me and she received a settlement of $2,500,000 thus
leaving me with a similar amount.
Taxes were exorbitant. In the United States, taxes are difficult to avoid
because banks are required to report to the government any bank large
transactions (deposits, withdrawals, or transfers of over $10,000) to The
IRS (Internal Revenue Service). Because of this fact, some other way must
be found to deposit this money into a bank account that need not report to
the IRS for transactions greater than $10,000.00. I thought perhaps we
could make multiple deposits to many banks for amounts less than $10,000.00
but that would mean making over 2,500 separate deposits. I doubt very much
that I would have time to do so. I'm sure if we investigate this problem
further, we can find a solution.
The second problem (my inability to speak) is not as serious. Needless to
say, I can not count on my ex-wife. She's probably is gallivanting the
streets of Paris with some young dude and my money! After what she has done
to me, I will find it most difficult to trust any person - especially women.
I received the picture of yourself and your spouse. How long have you been
married? Does your wife know about this transaction? If so, you need to be
careful because large sums of money can change attitudes very quickly.
Believe me! I know only too well.
We have, therefore, two problems to resolve. One is the bank's requirement
to report to the IRS and the other is my inability to speak. As long as we
continue using Email, my inability to speak is not an insurmountable
problem.
I want to emphasize that, I too, am anxious to get this completed. Although
I definitely do not need the money (I have enough for my needs), the Heart
Institute could certainly use it for our advanced research.
Thanks for your patience.
Dr. Roy Rolu
PS. In what discipline did you receive your Doctorate?
He assures me that the IRS will not be a problem. He is correct but doesn't
tell me why I need not worry about any large deposits to my account -
obviously, there will be no deposits to my account. However, I'm not aware
of that fact.

DR ROY ROLU
Someone probably requested that his yahoo mail account should be shut down
and I questioned him at once. Note that I mentioned 'speaking to' my
attorney but he hadn't picked up the 'fact' that I could not speak.
Special Note:
My reply to you was returned with "addressee unknown". What happened?????
Dr. Williams:
Please do not misunderstand me. I am definitely committed to carrying out
this 'venture'. My Heart Institute needs the funds to supplement the
shortfall of funds coming from the National Science Foundation and the World
Health Organization. Their budgets have been cut back and then so too have
our budgets been reduced.
Also, as a surgeon, I am naturally trained to be attentive to every detail.
Therefore, excuse me for covering the following details for which I have
some comments.
Firstly:- My name is not Roy LUCAS. I am not sure where you picked up the
'Lucas' name. I have the impression that you are making your request to
others because you have used the Lucas name from the outset of our
correspondence. How else do you explain the error in my name? Once again,
my name is Dr. Roy Rolu. I just don't understand how a transaction of this
major proportion can be arranged without a problem if you can not even get a
minor detail like my name correct. Please correct this at once.
Secondly, regarding the income tax situation. I am not concerned about the
legitimacy of this proposed transaction. I am convinced when you say, "THE
FACT THAT THE LEGALITY OF THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTELY ASSURED. AS
CONTAINED IN MY PREVIOUS MAIL, EVERY REQUIRED LEGAL DOCUMENT AS REGARDS THIS
TRANSACTION SHALL BE OBTAINED AND PERFECTED IN YOUR NAME THEREFORE
LEGITIMISING YOU AS THE RIGHTFUL BENEFICIARY OF THE FUND. IMPORTANTLY,
IMMEDIATELY ON YOUR CONFIRMATION OF THE REMITTANCE OF FUND IN YOUR NOMINATED
ACCOUNT THE CONTRACTUAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS SHALL BE FORWARDED TO YOU FOR YOUR
KIND PERUSAL. I DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
BECAUSE YOU HAVE EXECUTED A CONTRACT TO HAVE BENEFITED THE FUND. IT IS
ABSOLUTELY LEGAL."
The legality of the funds is inconsequential! Years ago, Al Capone, last
century's world famous thief was sent to jail for failing to pay his income
tax on illegally obtained funds. The fact is the funds will be considered as
income as soon as they are deposited to an account in the United States. The
income will be subject to Federal and State income taxes. I have discussed
this with my tax attorney (Don't worry. I spoke to him in hypothetical terms
without revealing the exact nature of the transaction). He has previously
helped me when I settled with Ford and Firestone and helped me reduce my tax
liability by over a million dollars. Here is what my attorney suggests that
I do:
(The following paragraph was copied from Scamorama):
Register three (3) new company names and then open three (3) corresponding
new bank accounts in those names in different banks; and, if it can be
managed in time, in different countries. I will then communicate with you
all three bank account details. One of the accounts will have you as a
co-signatory. That means you will be able to withdraw the money from that
particular account. The initial deposit will go into one account and then I
will quickly transfer 20% of the money into the second account (mine). Your
share (70%) will appear in the third account soon after. The remaining 10%
will be used for reimbursement of expenses (although, I don't understand why
our expenses would be so much).
I feel that this procedure is absolutely necessary in order for me to avoid
any tax liability and/or suspicion regarding the funds.
Thirdly: Because of my problems with my ex-wife, I can not divulge my
present account information to anyone. It is a secret numbered account that
will be revealed only upon my death to the Prairie Heart Institute as the
main beneficiary of my estate.
In my initial contact with you, I stated that I had some doubts that I could
help you. If it is possible for us to overcome some of these limitations, I
will be pleased to move ahead. If, however, you feel that these 'handicaps'
will prevent a successful conclusion to this project, then perhaps we should
not continue to pursue this goal. As I stated earlier, I am committed to
making this work well for both of us.
Thank you.
Roy Rolu, M.D.

I need some answers from the scammer before I can setup a bank account.
I am so pleased that this weekend is over. I agreed to relieve a friend of
mine who was assigned to take the weekend duty at the hospital. I took his
place so that he could attend a funeral in California. From Friday evening
until Sunday evening, it was a nonstop marathon of emergency surgeries.
Since my accident, I have never spent this much contiguous time in surgery.
I think I will be much more careful in the future and only volunteer to help
when I know that I will have plenty of support and help from other surgeons.
Regrettably, I have not had much time to dedicate to our 'partnership'. I
spoke to my banker at the Hickory Point Bank and Trust this morning in
regard to opening accounts for our transactions. It seems that a lot of
restrictions have been put forth because of the Homeland Security rules that
have been placed into effect. The government is watching banking activities
very closely ever since 911.
The banker asked me a multitude of questions that I could not (or would not)
answer. Will the moneys be deposited in the form of cash? Check? EFT? For
large deposits, the form of the deposit is an important consideration.
Also, are the funds in US denomination or in another denomination?
I was definitely correct when I concluded that large deposits to (or
withdrawals from) an account were reported to the Federal Government.
Since the banker is a friend, he will look into offshore accounts for us. I
will therefore need some answers in order to get this moving expeditiously
in the right direction.
Could you please outline a plan of events for me? With a workable plan (one
that also includes a budget of expenses) it will help me stay on course.
I hope you are well. I look forward to one day meeting you and your spouse.
Warm regards
RR

Dr. Rolu has good news for The scammer
Dr Williams:
Greetings and salutations. I have news.
With the help of my friend, the bank manager where I hold my irrevocable
trust, I have located a bank in Nassau in the Bahamas. The application to
the bank is complicated and requires references and $25K USD as an opening
deposit. It will take a few days for me to get everything together
(references, corporation papers for an LLC , etc). They are also requiring
that I declare my source of funding. So I need more info from you, please.
The financial conglomerate is BFD Financial Services, Nassau, Bahamas.
My trustee explained that the World Bank Organization is cooperating with
the United States and Britain in order to prevent any moneys to go to or
from international terrorists.
In effect, I need some answers from you as well as Proof of (or Certificates
of) deposit. If invoicing is to take place instead of CD's, than I will
need some particulars for the bank. Even though the deposited amount is
free from taxation, the deposited moneys must be legitimate and free from
encumbrances.
Please get back to me as I requested earlier with a plan. The plan should
include dates and a budget of all expenses.
The $25,000.00 opening deposit is mine and shall not be considered as an
expense. I do however; need to know of any other expenses that we shall
need.
Well partner, the 'ball is in your court' as they say. Please get back to
me soon.
BTW. Where have you been? Are you OK? I was surprised to not hear from
you for awhile considering this matter is, as you say, URGENT

Dear friend,
Thanks for your mail.
Though I appreciate that you have put up arrangement as regards opening the
account for the fund, I must confess that you are rather slow. Consequently,
I do not appreciate the fact that this transaction is being delayed. It is
most unfortunate because, by now, we ought to have accomplished this worthy
transaction. It is really unfortunate.
Sequel to your mail, as clearly stated in my previous mail, the legitimacy
of this transaction is absolutely assured because we have put every
machinery to have the required documents obtained, legitimising you as the
beneficiary of the fund. These documents legitimise you as the true
beneficiary of the fund as Nigeria National Petroleum contractor. You should
note that you are beneficiary of the fund because you have performed a
contract of supply with NNPC. However, the said account information is
required to have the necessary documents perfected in your name as the
beneficiary of the fund. On the obtainance and perfection of the said
documents, your name shall be presented as the beneficiary of the fund. On
your confirmation of the fund in your nominated account, these documents
shall be sent to you.
importantly, I will have my picture sent you. You also send your picture to
me in your response. I want to believe, at this stage, it is very important
that we get to know each other very well.
I await your immediate response.
Your friend,
Dr. Williams
DR ROY ROLU
Dr. Rolu is upset.
Dr. Williams:
Where have you been since last week? First, my email to you was refused
(non-existent mailbox) and then you seemed to drop out of existence for
awhile.
Twice, I have asked you for a PLAN of action! But none has been forthcoming!
You have yet to answer any of my questions in regard to project timing and
budget. You stated, "I do not appreciate the fact that this transaction is
being delayed." Neither do I appreciate your obvious neglect to outline your
plan. (Or is it 'inability' because a plan does not exist?).
If I'm to be registered as a "Nigeria National Petroleum contractor" then
please tell me what service I was to have provided to the NNPC. I need this
information to inform the bank as to the source and nature of funding. This
is now a strict banking requirement (the source and nature of funding of the
account must be declared). They seem to suspect terrorist activities or
money laundering when large deposits or withdrawals are made. It seems
ludicrous that anyone would believe that a Heart Surgeon would have provided
some 25.5 million in services to NNPC. I am about ready to open the offshore
account but I need to know if I should open it as a corporate entity, a
personal account, a trust, or an LLC. Or should I buy a shelf company?
Without a detailed plan of action, I am just plodding along like a blind
man. It's embarrassing for me to not be able to answer some simple questions
of my attorney and my banker. I feel that if I am not careful, I could end
up owing a great deal of money in taxes, etc. Or worse, I could end up in
jail! Let's face facts! We are obtaining this money under less than exact
pretenses.
I am a firm believer that one needs to "make haste slowly".
I AM NOT SLOW as you say! I am deliberate and exact. That is my training.
If I were replacing your heart or doing a by-pass, I am certain that you
would want me to be careful and take all the time I needed so as not to make
a mistake. Even though this is not surgery, it is nonetheless not a game or
something to be casually committed.
Please, I need information and I need it to proceed. It is you, my friend
that has created a bottleneck. I have the 25K dollars waiting to open the
account. But I can't open it without some answers from you.
By the way, I fail to see how exchanging pictures is going to help get us to
know one another very well. The only facts that I know of you are your
Email addresses (and one of those is now null and void). For the time being,
let's keep this transaction as a business proposition because that is what
it is - a serious business. I am certain that our friendship will quickly
develop once we have successfully completed our transaction.
I am sorry to have expounded in this way. But I am aggrieved that you
accuse me of being 'very slow' when in fact I have been working very hard to
get this transaction moving in the right direction. Let's move onward!
Regards,
RRR

For whatever reason, you can't seem to get my name correct. At first, you
called me 'Lucas' and now you address me as 'Leonard'. It seems that you
are 'dealing' with others and you are not doing a very good job of keeping
tract of your correspondence.
Also, as I stated in earlier Emails to you, I need a plan. There are many
items such as travel requirements, budgets, fees, licenses, incorporations,
and legal agreements that need clarification.
Last week, I told you that I have a bank that will serve as a repository of
the fund and I have the $25K USD ready for deposit. The only thing that is
holding up this step in the project is information from you regarding the
name of the account holder.
Furthermore, on May 8 you advised me that you were disappointed that this
process was being delayed. You clearly stated that you felt that I "was
very slow". I responded to you immediately but then you needed four days to
reply and answer my questions. To add insult to injury, you answered
"Leonard" and here I'm left standing with 25K USD "in my pocket" because you
failed to inform me and answer my questions.
As I told you before, I am committed to carry this project through and
forward to completion, but I need to see the total picture! You, however,
seem to be content to 'feed me bits and pieces' of the project. Believe me;
I have handled more involved projects than this one; admittedly not for more
money but certainly projects with more details.
So let's move along. Correct names, budgets, short and long range plans.
Warm regards.

DEAR ROY,
IMPORTANTLY, I MUST STATE THAT A VERY HUGE SUM OF MONEY IS INVOLVED IN THIS
TRANSACTION THEREFORE I MUST TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION TO SAFE GUIDE IT. EACH
SITUATION DETERMINES HOW I ADDRESS YOU. YOU SHOULD PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
AS CONTAINED IN MY PREVIOUS MAIL, I SHALL HAVE COMPANY INCORPORATED IN YOUR
NAME. THIS COMPANY WILL BE THE SOLE BENEFICIARY TO THE FUND. ON THE RECEIPT
OF YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WILL BE OBTAINED WHICH
LEGITIMISE THE SAID COMPANY AS THE BENEFICIARY TO THE FUND. ON COMPLETION OF
THIS EXERCISE, YOU, THE OWNER/CEO OF THE SAID COMPANY, HAVING EXECUTED YOUR
CONTRACT SHALL NOW APPLY TO THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE FOR THE RELEASE OF THE
FUND. I MUST ASSURE YOU, ON YOUR APPLICATION FOR RELEASE OF THE FUND, IT
SHALL BE RELEASE WITHIN 14 WORKING DAYS.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE EXPENSE BUT, FOR NOW, WE DO NOT KNOW
PRECISELY HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST. THE CONTRACTUAL DOCUMENTS WILL COST
US REAL GOOD MONEY BECAUSE, ON THE INCORPORATION OF YOUR COMPANY, WILL HAVE
TO INCOME TAXES FROM THE DATE THE INITIAL CONTRACT WAS AWARDED TO DATE.
HOWEVER, MYSELF AND COLLEAGUES HAVE PUT UP REASONABLE ARRANGEMENT TO OBTAIN
THE DOCUMENTS.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE ACCOUNT OPEN IN NAME OF LEONARD DELK NIGERIA LIMITED. I
CAN HAVE THIS COMPANY REGISTERED IN TWO DAYS. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD FORWARD
YOUR FAX NUMBER SO THAT I CAN HAVE IT FAX ED TO YOU. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FAX
NUMBER IN YOUR NEXT COMMUNICATION.
I AWAIT YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.
YOUR FRIEND,

DR ROY ROLU
There is a 'leak' somewhere and Dr. Rolu is getting nervous!
Dr Williams:
There is something absolutely weird going on here. Today, in your email,
you say that "I SHALL HAVE COMPANY INCORPORATED IN YOUR NAME". Yet, two
paragraphs later you instruct me to "HAVE THE ACCOUNT OPEN IN NAME OF
LEONARD DELK NIGERIA LIMITED." Who in heavens name is LEONARD DELK?
Before we take one step further, the confusion of names and procedures must
be eliminated. If we can not get these minor points straight, how in the
world are we going to handle millions of dollars?
Now! I received this email today (see below) and I need you to tell me what
this is all about. Since I have not corresponded with anyone in Nigeria
except you, I therefore assume that the information leak is on your side.
Please explain forthwith because I will not proceed with this venture with
such an existing and glaring security breach.
By the way, I have checked the bank named in the following email with the
International Bankers Association and they informed me that the named bank
is bogus. I suspected as much when I viewed their Web site.
Regards,
RRR, M.D.

Dr Williams:
I am absolutely filled with fear that hackers have been intercepting your
mail.
How else would some Nigerian thieves have information that proves that know
of our project. As I told you a short while ago, I have been 'ripped off' by
my ex-spouse so I am therefore always a bit concerned if I 'smell a rat'.
And, I SMELL A RAT.
Please read the email that I received below. I have my doubts that it's
real
but nevertheless, this is now the second email that I received this week
in regard to our project. Does you spouse have access to your computer?
Does anyone else have access to your computer?
No one person is above suspicion.
Is there some way that our privacy can be secured?
I hesitate to send you any of my data (banking, personal) for fear that
it would fall in the hands of the unscrupulous crooks who would
attempt to steal everything that I have.
I am anxious to get this project completed but I dare not move ahead
unless I have some concrete assurance that our moneys and personal

Shortened version: career military man, served with the UN in the Congo, studied in the UK and at Fort Bragg, took part in several military coups, worked his way up to lieutenant general, spent some time in private life sitting on corporate boards, has been minister of defence since 1999.

YOUR FRIEND
DR ROY ROLU
Rolu is rankled!
Partner:
In your last email, you said "IF YOU HAD SENT YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION; WE
WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM." I resent the implication that any delay
in my fault! If you had answered my questions promptly, we could have
achieved a whole lot more. You apparently didn't care about my tax
liabilities. That would have been my problem and I don't believe you would
have been around to help me out with any tax problems. In addition, I have
asked you often for a plan and none seems to be forthcoming. How dare you
insinuate that we would not have had this problem if I had sent my account
information earlier?
I would guess that the computer(s) that you are using are infected with a
'Trojan' and a virus. My computer is absolutely secure with virus killers
and a firewall that makes it almost impossible to hack into. I have never
opened an executable attachment so I'm certain that my computer is not
infected with a worm. Plus, no other person uses my PC.
If you are using a computer that is accessed by others, you may be risking
our privacy. I've heard of some people install Trojan Programs (like
SpyWorks) in these Cafe computers that copy everything going into or out of
the computer without your knowledge. The Secret Service and our FBI do this
regularly to catch thieves who use the computer to scam or steal. If this
is the case, changing your email to a new one will not do any good. You
have to change your computer and be sure that absolutely no one else uses
it. That's the least you can do to protect our privacies. Particularly,
because we have so much at stake.
I have some bank information but I need you to provide me with some
information so that I can list you as a managing partner of our
International Business Company (IBC).
There are over 400 banks and trust companies licensed to do business within
or from The Bahamas. In addition, there are over 82,000 International
Business Companies, registered at the Registrar General's Office and the
numbers rising by 20,000 per annum. All banks and trust companies are
supervised by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, and they are also responsible
for licensing and compliance of these institutions.
Bahamian law strongly protects the right to confidentiality and privacy of
bank clients. The Bahamas considers it a criminal offense for a bank to
release information on a client to another that has no signing or vested
authority on the account. They have no tax treaties with any country and the
enactment of anti-money laundering legislation late in 1995 reinforces The
Bahamas position in the forefront of reputable, secure, international
financial center.
A non-resident owning an International Business Company has many advantages
that covers and protects his assets and protects him/her as an individual
under this entity in a foreign jurisdiction. Some of the advantages are as
follows:
* An International Business Company may have local bank accounts, held
in any currency;
* It may also lease office premises and employ Bahamian staff members.
However, should its beneficial owners, the non-residents, choose to work for
the International Business Company from the Bahamas, work permits should be
obtained for these individuals;
* An International Business Company may have shares issued in Bearer
or Registered and in any currency;
* An International Business Company may have a single Director or
officer;
* An International Business Company may have Directors meetings held
electronically or in any country;
* There is no public record keeping of beneficial owners, directors or
officers;
There is no annual profit/loss reporting to the government.
On the other hand there are some things that an International Business
Company is prohibited from in The Bahamas. Some of the 'cannot's' of an
International Business Company are as follows:
* An International Business Company may not act as bank, trust,
insurance or any sort of financial institution;
* It can not own real estate in The Bahamas; however, it can supply
the funding for its purchase;
* It can not enter in profit making business with Bahamian citizens;
* An International Business Company is not allowed to open a Bahamian
Dollar account, with approval from the Exchange Control department at the
Central Bank of The Bahamas;
* An International Business Company can not act as Registered Agent or
Office for other IBC's;
An International Business Company may not contain the words "Assurance,
Bank, Building Society, Chamber of Commerce, Chartered, Cooperative,
Imperial, Insurance, Royal, Trust" or a word conveying a similar meaning or
any word connected with Her Majesty or any member of the Royal Family or the
Government of The Bahamas.

initial deposit of 25K USD. My attorney feels that I should not deposit the
entire amount on my accord as I had instructed him to do. His logic is
simple. Since in this partnership my share is 2/9 ths and you and your
partners will share 7/9 ths then I should only have to contribute $5,666 USD
and you and your partners should deposit $19,444. A certified check made to
the order of the bank will do just fine.

DR ROY ROLU
I show my annoyance with our good Dr. Williams
Yes indeed it must have been a long time since we last communicated. You
have even forgotten my name! - (My name is NOT "LEONARD ROY DELK" as you
have addressed me). I don't understand how you can give so little attention
to details and yet expect perfect compliance to your own particular requests
(or 'demands'). And! Have you forgotten that I am unable to speak therefore
I have no phones - voice or fax? It is irritating that you seem so obtuse.
Can this be a warning or harbinger of things to come?
You have also forgotten that I informed you that I would be away for about
ten days at a conference of the American Medical Association. I am very
concerned about your obvious lack of attention to details regarding this
matter.
You state that you "DEMANDED" my phone and fax numbers. When did you
'demand' this of me. I don't feel that you should 'demand' anything. If
ever you demand anything of me, you may soon find that you have lost a
partner in this venture.
Awhile ago, I asked you for some particulars concerning yourself and yet,
you have yet to send me details.
I have already invested nearly $2,400.00 USD of my personal funds to open a
shell corporation and have opened the account with the necessary $25,000.00
minimum required. I am now beginning to feel that I may have made a mistake
to create this shell company.
Now the next step is definitely yours. If you have any papers that you wish
to send me, please scan them and send them as jpeg files. The only fax
machine that is available to me is rather public and our confidentiality
will be violated.
Please get my name correctly and send me your personal particulars. Let us
get this moving in the proper direction.

NUMBER IS NOT MANDATORY BUT THE FAX LINE IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE

Your Contributor: Keeping the scammer on the defensive and giving him hell
again!
I am totally bewildered by your ineptitude in handling the details of this
project. You continue to come up with new requirements. If you are, as you
said, the DIRECTOR GENERAL OF NDDC and SHAREHOLDER OF NIGER DELTA
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION FOREIGN CONTRACTOR'S COMPANY, then you certainly
should have the authority to get this project moving!
You mean to say that you are so powerless that the lack of a fax line "in my
bedroom" is going to prevent this project from continuing to completion. Do
you expect me to believe that the Director General of the NDDC can't bend
the rules to get around any minor roadblocks?
If your position with the NDDC is in the upper echelon and on a Director's
level, then I'm sure you can find a way to resolve these minor problems.
Also, can not the NDDC afford a scanner? With all those millions just lying
there, can't they afford some modern computer devices?
Make it happen. I'm beginning to feel that there is no 25 million and that
you are just fooling me. Can you assure me that my ex-wife has nothing to
do with this?
As I requested many times before, what is your plan? I have lain to bare
all concerning my deficiencies from the outset so that there would be no
surprises. Would you kindly do the same and not issue any more surprise
demands?

SITUATION, ON MONDAY, THE NIGER DELTA DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION WILL OFFICIALLY
HAVE YOUR NAME FORWARDED TO THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE FOR THE IMMEDIATE
PAYMENT.
PLEASE NOTE THAT A CLAUSE WILL BE INSERTED IN YOUR CONTRACTUAL DOCUMENTS TO
BE FORWARDED TO THE MINISTRY, STATING TO BE COMMUNICATED ONLY ON EMAIL. I

DEVELOPMENT, IMPORTANTLY THE REMITTANCE OF THE FUND INTO YOUR NOMINATED
ACCOUNT. PLEASE ALWAYS KEEP ME INFORMED.

DEAR ROY,
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
HAS THE MINISTRY COMMUNICATED YOU ON THE REMITTANCE OF THE FUND?
YOUR FRIEND,
DR. WILLIAMS
DR ROY ROLU
I have been insisting on a plan from the outset and as soon as he introduces
a next step in his procedure I will object and accuse him of bringing new
conditions to the table.
Subject: June 4
Williams:
Not yet.
RRR M.D.
He has been real quiet for the last few days. I imagine that he is probably
searching for a means to scan his phony documents. He may be trying this on
his own since I planted a seed that a hacker is into his system.
Nonetheless, I expect that more will come.
Then, after a long hiatus...
Dear friends at Scamorama: Enclosed is a revised part two of Dr. Rolu's
adventures. I did not realize that the email was two megs. I now have it
reduced to 100K. Part three will be on the way shortly. It's hard to
believe that we have had this one going since the end of April.
Correspondence with the lad had slowed considerably. I was beginning to
think that our scammer was reading about himself on Scamorama. But I guess
that he was simply fed up with my constant objections and bickering which
probably led him to think that he would probably get zilch from me.
He introduced a new character: Mrs. Jane Musa who made a cameo appearance
as the director of the Federal Ministry of Finance.
He must have forgotten that Dr. Rolu is absolutely distrusting of any woman.
Suddenly, a ruse that I created caused such an outbreak of emails. I knew
that I touched the scammer's most tender nerve. I convinced the scammer
that he had been scammed out of $1200 by one of his own kind. That hurt him
real, real bad!

You can't be serious!!!! I sent the $1200.00 USD via Western Union just as
you asked. I sent it to the Barrister's assistant via Western Union exactly
as you requested. As a matter of fact, I had a difficult time sending the
entire sum because the clerk at Western Union did not want to make the
transfer out for more than a Thousand Dollars. I had to write on my slate
for about an hour to convince her that the amount to be sent had to be the
full Twelve Hundred Dollars.
Now you are trying to convince me that you know nothing about this! This
situation is absolutely incredible!!!!!
I'm not in my office just yet but when I get there I'll look up your email
and check the names of the Barrister and his assistant.

july 13 email to Mugu
Williams:
I located in my files the email you sent me regarding sending money to the
attorney the purpose of which was to finalize some authorizations and
subsequently to pay the money to our account. In your email (see copy below)
you gave me very complete and explicit details and I followed these
instructions exactly as you instructed.
Now you tell me that again I have apparently poured more money down the
sewer. Earlier, I sent 2400 dollars to attorneys to setup a shelf company
account to receive the money and this time, I sent your 'mysterious'
barrister 1200 dollars. And now here I sit with zilch to show for my
efforts. The email below is from you and you had better explain yourself. I
absolutely resent the implication that this boondoggle is my fault and due
to my negligence.
Obviously, someone has access to your email. It seems like your password has
been violated. They are probably receiving your mail and diverting it to
themselves because I have kept you informed of every action that I have
taken and yet you claim that you were not aware of what was going on. Are
you using your own computer? Or, are you using a cafe? I have known of
situations where every stroke made on a cafe computer is stored on the
computer's hard drive so that it can be recovered very easily by a hacker
after you're done with the PC. Williams, this is big time business and you
may not be up to handling this business alone. You should probably get
someone to help you.
I am beginning to think that this proposition of yours is rather risky and
is going to cause a whole lot of trouble for you and me but there's a whole
lot of money involved and we have to move on. We need to establish better
security and you MUST prove your identification by attaching a copy (scan)
of your driver's license or passport with each email that you send me.
I will no longer reply to any mail that is not certifiably from you.
NOTE HACKERS: If you are reading this mail be aware that your emails have
been forwarded to the United States Secret Service.
Williams, please reply immediately to acknowledge receipt of this
communication. Include proof that it is you that is actually you sending
the mail.

Dr. Rolu replies with his usual expression of indignation. Note the
reconciling attitude in the last paragraph because I'm not done with him
just yet. I must set him up for his next disappointment his venture to con
me.
DR ROY ROLU
Williams:
I received your emails with your picture ID. I suggest that you use this ID
in any correspondence that you send me in order to verify that the email is
in fact from you.
First of all, I have to state that I am not at all pleased with the demeanor
expressed in your emails of July 12 - July 14. Remember, I did not get
hacked. You did! You are extremely defensive in your remarks to me and you
are attempting to blame me for an obvious security violation. The fact that
someone has your email password is your fault not mine. So I would suggest
that you 'cool it' and accept the blame for compromising your Email
security.
Secondly, you have asked me about the $2400 in a couple of recent emails.
Don't you read my emails to you? I have told you twice about the $2400 that
I spent to setup the shelf company in the Bahamas. Perhaps, you did not
receive those emails. Perhaps they were intercepted by others who have
access to your email. I know that all my emails to you were read - either by
you or someone else - because I would have received notification from my ISP
if the mails were refused, undeliverable or left unopened.
Thirdly, on 13 July you stated in your email: "PLEASE NOTE THAT IF SUCH
SITUATION ARISES AGAIN, I MAY BE FORCE TO DISCONTINUE THIS TRANSACTION WITH
YOU. IF WE MUST ACTUALIZED THIS TRANSACTION SUCCESSFULLY YOU MUST ADHERE
STRICTLY TO MY INSTRUCTIONS IN ITS RESPECT." Do not ever again use that
tone with me. If you want to discontinue this venture with me, you just go
right ahead. As I told you in my initial correspondence, I don't need the
money because I have my millions. Don't ever resort with veiled threats
because I have very little tolerance for that type of idiotic statements.
Fourthly, I have often asked you to send me an outline of the complete
initiative. You, again, have failed to provide a total picture of how this
project is going to work. If you don't have a plan, than admit it. On the
other hand, if you do have a plan, then reveal the details. I feel that I'm
wandering in the dark just waiting for the next step to take. I fail to see
the advantage of working this way.
Fifthly, changing the names in our salutations is totally useless as far as
email security is concerned. You should get a new email address because
yours has obviously been compromised. Next, whenever you send me an email
sign it with you name and add a number. The number that you use should
equal one more than the last number I sent you. For example: If I sign my
email to you as RRR M.D. 416, then you will sign all your responses to my
409 Email as follows:
Dr Shagaya Williams 417.
By using this folioed system I'll know the mail is from you. By using a
sequential number, we'll both know if one or more emails are missing.
Don't worry about the money. It is very negligible in comparison to what is
to come and also, I can make 20 times that amount on a good day at the stock
market. Remember to change your email.
Regards,
RRR, M.D. #418
Taking an offensive stand with our scammer has helped quiet him down.
Although, I attempted to get him to sign his next email with #419 attached,
he decided to start from #001. Shucks! He sent the following email twice.
Once in script with his 454K jpg ID attached. If he continues to send his
photo ID with every email, he will fill my mailbox to capacity in no time.

DEAR ROY 001
DUE THE FACT THAT THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IS NEW, I ADVISE THAT WE START

COULD BE PHOTOGRAPH, INTER NATIONAL PASSPORT ETC. AT THIS STAGE, I WANT TO

I received the following from Jane Musa:
"We write to inform you that the sum of twenty five million, five hundred thousand US dollar has been approved in your name. Please also be informed that we have thus forwarded a copy of your payment approval to the central bank of Nigeria for immediate payment."
I am a little concerned that the payment approval sent to the Central Bank of Nigeria indicates that the payment is to Rolu Enterprises, USA. Our company is Rolu Enterprises, LLC Bermuda. Rolu Enterprises USA is my uncles company. His company manufactures air conditioners for trucks and other large vehicles. I'm afraid that there could be some confusion and mis-application of the funds.
Also, by sending the funds to Rolu USA, you can bet that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will want a slice of the 25.5.
Let me know if you want to get this corrected or if you want me to direct this issue directly with Jane Musa.

AS REGARDS WHEN THE FUND WILL BE REMITTED, YOU SHOULD SEND AN EMAIL TO THE MINISTRY, INFORMING THEM THAT YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE FUND IS REMITTED IN YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; THIS IS DUE TO FACT THAT YOU NEED THE FUND FOR YOUR COMPANY PROJECTS IN THE US. YOU SHOULD DEMAND A TIME FRAME FOR THE REMITTANCE.

Dear Mrs. Musa,
Thank you for your information regarding the moneys to be deposited to our account, Rolu Enterprises LLC. For security reasons, I am not including the account particulars in this email as they have already been submitted and verified in previous and separate emails.
Would you kindly send me details of when the funds will be deposited to our account? At the present time, we have an urgent need for the funds to finance additional international projects. Cash flow for us is at a critical stage and it is difficult to program any additional projects with the income from previous completed assignments. Anything that you can do to expedite payment of the funds due our firm will be greatly appreciated.
On the hand, if there is anything that we can do to help accelerate payment, please let me know. We are certainly are ready to comply with any request if will help expedite the payment for our services.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Roy Rogers Rolu, M.D.

Now then, what I needed to know is whether you are going to take care of the above. Or, do you want me to deal directly with the CBN? My banker has checked with CBN but Johnson Issa is not listed anywhere as an employee, stockholder or director.

Dear Roy 017,
On the receipt of mail, I have had to verify the authenticity of the recommended Director of International Remittance. I was convincingly informed that Pro. Johnson Issa is the Deputy Director general of International remittance in charge of your payment. I was told that they are more 10 deputy directors within the International Remittance.
In respect of the mail address, I was told that the wed site is specifically built for the central bank of Nigeria with modern Internet security. This sequel to fact that, over the years, the Central Bank of Nigeria have had their official hacked and useful information stolen. I was informed that the site(minister.com) can not be downloaded on any computer system; you can only send to and received from the website. I was told by my contact within the central bank of Nigeria that this initiative is basically for contractors' money like yours.
I hereby advise that you communicate with the director immediately on the release of your payment. You should also send a thank-you-email to the ministry of finance for their assistance.
Importantly, sequel to nature of this transaction, I want to believe that you and I should be careful of how much information that we give out. This is very imperative so that we will have this transaction actualized as soon as possible. People may not be happy you want to make additional money. please be careful

I received an inquiry from Prof. Issa today and I answered with the information that he requested. I also copied you but I'm uncertain if you are receiving these copies. Please let me know because I feel that this is a good way to let you know what is happening. It is also possible to send you a "blind copy" so that the recipient is not aware that a copy is going to you.
Please let me know if you are receiving the copies. From the context of your recent emails, I seem to get the idea that you are not receiving these copies that I am sending you. If you are not receiving the copies than someone else is because if they're not delivered, my ISP notifies me immediately.

Thu, 31 Jul 2003 19:28:57 -0500
Dear Williams: 025
I hope you are well and are feeling much better than I feel. At the moment, I am extremely upset.
I have just received a declaration from Prof. Issa informing me that I needed to visit CBN in person to sign three documents. The hook here is that I must have presented myself yesterday, July 30th. Needless to say, meeting this criterion is impossible unless I can find a time machine to take me back a couple of weeks (joking of course). I was, and still am, certainly willing to travel to Nigeria if it meant expediting this transaction, but there is little that I could do to meet these ridiculous timing demands. Imagine receiving a citation that states: Be here yesterday. Its absolutely preposterous!!
Coincidently and so very conveniently, a second option is offered and that is to engage the services of an attorney but therein again is another hook. The attorney must be a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) according to the declaration. From my past experiences in Latin America, I gather that this means that the attorney must have close (meaning financial) ties to Issa. Most of these attorneys are maggots that could suck blood from a stone. Ill bet any money that Issa is on the take and can be bought like any cheap trollop that lives in a house of Ill Repute. He is probably ready to hit us up for a list of outlandish fees because he knows that we have a good sum of money coming to us. Believe it! I've run into this type of low-life character many times when I lived in Latin America. I've lived there many years where this type of shenanigans goes on every single day!
Nonetheless, I guess well simply have to "play the game" and grease the wheels of these never-do-well officials in order to get things moving in the right direction. Otherwise, they'll just keep putting stumbling locks in our path. So lets get this transaction moving despite the cost. I promise you that if Issa and his cohorts become too damned greedy, he wont live very long to enjoy the proceeds. There is a saying: "Take my goods and take my money but dont take me for a fool!" It is good advice for Issa and his band of groveling thieves. What do you expect me to believe when the idiot sends me an idiotic demand to be here YESTERDAY!
I apologize that I've vented my spleen with this situation. Please get back to me so that I can get an answer off to Issa. I need to wait a bit because I need to calm down. If not, I'll certainly say the wrong thing and upset him. They'll be plenty of time to find our revenge after we get our funds. For the moment, I'd better quiet down and let him think that he's pulling the "wool over our eyes". Hopefully, you and I will soon laugh about this as we count ouir millions at the bank. Hell simply have wait and hell undoubtedly miss his artificial quarterly deadline.
Warm regards,
RRR, M.D.

Subject: ask for an extention
Dear Roy 026,
How are you today?
The timing is really unfortunate. It is most unreasonable. You should communicate him on this time situation. You should ask for an extension to make arrangement for the signing of the documents. You could ask for seven working days. However, it is very important the documents are signed soonest so that our money could be remitted immediately.
For the attorney with my contact at the bank, we could get a lawyer who is a senior advocate of Nigeria to sign the documents for you. However, the bank officials may not be happy about this arrangement and they could make things difficult for us. You could ask the bank to recommend an attorney to do the signing of the documents.
You should please communicate the bank immediately on the receipt of this mail. This very important because we are lacking behind.
I await your response.

Prof. Johnson Issa of the Central Bank of Nigeria suggested that I contact your firm in regard to retaining your services. It will be necessary to act on my behalf for the signing of three classified documents in connection to the release of payment to our firm, Rolu Enterprises, LLC.

Email to Lad Williams 8-05-2003
Dear Williams:
I received an email from the attorney, Dr. Bukky Yahaya, regarding the signing of the three documents. The attorneys suggest that we need to pay the sum of $25,000 as a sign-on fee as well as $15,000 as the attorneys representation fee. (Please see a copy below)
Is this legitimate or are we again embroiled in yet another fraud by yet another hacker?
If indeed this is legitimate, the attorney fee for signing three documents is simply outrageous! It insults my intelligence. For $15,000, I would rather go to Nigeria and sign the documents in person.
Regardless of the circumstances, I am not able to raise that amount of cash (the $40,000) in just a short period of time therefore the extension of seven days is useless. I have Certificates of Deposit that are due for renewal on the 15th of this month and Ill have the cash available at that time. Had I known the money was needed a month ago, I would have kept it available rather than tie it up in cash bonds.
I plan to personally attend to the signing of the documents; therefore I will not need the luxury representation of Bukky Yahaya. Secondly, we need an additional extension one that will allow me time to withdraw funds from my expiring Certificates of Deposit and then bring the funds to Nigeria. Thirdly, I need to know now if any additional funds will be necessary because there is always a delay if I need additional funds. Please understand that it is not always possible to withdraw funds from my accounts at a moments notice.
Please get back to me as soon as possible.

THE ATTORNEY FEE IS HIGHLY EXORBITANT. WHY SHOULD HE GET THAT MUCH FOR SIGNING OF THE DOCUMENTS. THOUGH I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL, (Really?) I BELIEVE IT IS TOO MUCH TO HAVE SUCH DOCUMENTS SIGNED. NEVERTHELESS, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS TRANSACTION, WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL SO THAT WE DO NOT LOSE THE FUND. WE MAY HAVE TO PLAY ALONG WITH THEM.
YOU SHOULD PLEAD WITH THE ATTORNEY THAT YOU COULD PAY HALF OF HIS FEE AND THE BANK'S FEE. WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS HOW SOON YOU CAN MAKE THE SAID MONEY AVAILABLE . IF YOU CAN MAKE THE MONEY READY BEFORE FRIDAY, IT WILL BE GOOD SO THAT THE FUND CAN BE REMITTED SOONEST. CONSEQUENTLY, I SUGGEST THAT YOU CONTACT THE ATTORNEY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

3. I WILL PERSONALLY SIGN THE DOCUMENTS AFTER THE 15TH.

THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL. I AM CONVINCED THAT I AM PRIVILEGED TO HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH YOU IN RESPECT OF THIS TRANSACTION. I APPRECIATE YOUR PEDIGREE.
THOUGH I APPRECIATE YOUR POSITION IN RESPECT OF THE ATTORNEY, IT IS MOST REASONABLE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BANK OFFICIALS BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF MONEY INVOLVED THIS TRANSACTION. I MUST CONFESS THAT IT IS REALLY UNFORTUNATE THAT THE ATTORNEY IS DEMANDING THAT MUCH TO HAVE THE DOCUMENTS SIGNED. HOWEVER, IT IS MOST REASONABLE THAT WE CONTINUE WITH THEM OR HAVE ANOTHER ATTORNEY RECOMMENDED BY THE BANK SO THAT THE BANK OFFICIAL WILL NOT MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT FOR YOU. I WILL HAVE MY HOME SOLD TO PUT UP A LEAST TEN THOUSAND ($10,000.00) US DOLLAR OF THE ATTORNEY FEE.
IN AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LOVED YOU TO COME TO NIGERIA (I WANT TO MEET YOU) BUT DUE TO NATURE OF THIS TRANSACTION (YOU NEVER EXECUTED ANY CONTRACT) AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR CONDITION, YOU COULD BE ASKED TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER, AND THE BANK OFFICIALS MAY HAVE TO SUSPEND YOUR PAYMENT. IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT THAT AM ATTORNEY WHO KNOWS THE SITUATION OF THINGS ON GROUND (NIGERIAN FACTOR) SEES TO THE SIGNING OF THE DOCUMENTS.
I KNOW THAT YOU MAY NOT NEED THE FUND BUT I NEED IT PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF MY PEOPLE, THE NIGER-DEL TANS WHO HAVE SUFFERED ECOLOGICAL POLLUTION IN HANDS OF OIL COMPANIES OVER THE YEARS. IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS MY PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF VENTURING INTO THIS TRANSACTION.
AS EXPLAINED IN YOUR MAIL, IT IS PRACTICABLE THAT YOU ASK THE BANK FOR AN EXTENSION TO PUT UP MONEY FOR THE SIGNING OF THE DOCUMENTS. YOU COULD ASK THE BANK FOR AN EXTENSION OF 2 WEEKS. TELL THEM THAT YOU NEVER KNEW THAT YOU WERE GOING TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR THE SIGNING OF THE DOCUMENTS. ALSO COPY THE ATTORNEY.
YOU SHOULD SEND MAIL TO ATTORNEY, REQUESTING HOW HE WANTS TO RECEIVE THE MONEY. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED SO THAT HIS FEE COULD BE REMITTED TO HIM ON MY SALES OF THE HOUSE.

Selling your house is not the solution. The amount of money that the attorney is speaking of is not, in of itself, a lot of money. I can handle it easily. What bothers me is that I just think that Yahahaha (or whoever) is simply taking advantage of the situation and he feels that he can charge whatever he wants to charge. I'd love to get him on the Operating Room table with a scalpel in my right hand and a contract in my left hand. He would then truly know what coercion is.
I'll send an email to Issa wherein I'll beg for an extension. I'll also send an email to Yahahaha and I'm going to offer him $2,000 to sign the documents. If he fails to accept the $2000, I'll go directly to the Bank and over Issa's head and request an honorable attorney (honorable attorney is an oxymoron) to take Yahahaha's place in this endeavor..
Don't fret. Well get the money out of the country. We'll get this accomplished without compromising our personal integrity.
We have a saying here: "Don't Shit a Shitter" which means don't steal from a thief. Yahahaha had better understand that trying to 'screw' a rogue is a dangerous business. We are going to pull this off and soon. So don't worry. Keep your house - you'll need it to hid you stockpile of US dollars.
If you can think of any possible additions to the moneys we will need to complete this transaction, please let me know now so that I cash in a sufficient number of CDs.
I'll copy (BCC) you when I email Issa and Yahahahahaha.

We have a saying here: "Don't Shit a Shitter" which means don't lie to a liar or dont steal from a thief. Yahahaha had better understand that trying to 'screw' a rogue is a dangerous business. We are going to pull this off and soon. So don't worry. Keep your house - you'll need it to hide you stockpile of US dollars when this project is completed.
I continue to feel that a personal visit is definitely in order. I dont intend to travel alone. I will be accompanied by my nephew who is extremely capable of acting as my spokesperson and bodyguard. I expect that Ill stay at the US Ambassadors residence because the newly appointed ambassador is a very dear friend of mine. I once saved his life when he had a serious heart attack
My situation is ideal because I can always have an interpreter to help answer any questions. Perhaps you can serve in that capacity. That would be ideal since you have all the answers to any questions that the bankers could possibly ask. There is a fairly good sum of money involved and I simply dont feel comfortable allowing it to be out of my hands or view. Remember what happened the last time I sent funds there! For that reason, my assistance is obligatory and is not subject to debate. As I said in an earlier email, if this is not OK with you then someone else should spearhead this endeavor.
On the other hand, if all systems are go then you must think of any possible additions to the funds we will need to complete this transaction, please let me know now so that I cash in a sufficient number of CDs and have the funds available.
I'll copy (BCC) you when I email Issa to request the extension and his recommendation of another attorney.
Have a great and wonderful day.
Warmest regards.

Subject: mutual respect
Dear Roy 037,
I convinced that the foundation of this transaction should be basically on mutual respect for every person involved. Due to the fact that you are richer that I am does mean you should be insulting in your mail. I had suggested to sale my home to pay the attorney fee because, though you may not it, myself and people need the fund however this does not make my home where to hide stockpile of US dollar. You should try and be more respectful.
I do not want to believe that my suggestion on you visiting Nigeria is terribly out of hand because of the nature of this transaction. However, if insist on coming so be it. Nevertheless I may not have to forgive if we lose this money.
I want to believe that, by now, you have contacted the bank for an extension on the signing of the documents and recommendation of another attorney. Always keep me informed.

Prof. Johnson Issa:
Thank you for your recent efforts to extend the deadline for activating the payment due to Rolu Enterprises, LLC. We were unaware that such a large fee was due and payable at closing time. I need to liquidate Certificates of Deposit in order to have sufficient cash available to liquidate the assessed fees. Unfortunately, since my CDs are of the type that can only be cashed at the end of its cycle, the funds will not be available to me until the 15th of this month. Allowing for time to travel to your country, I respectfully request an extension of 14 days to complete this transaction.
Would you also send me another recommendation for an attorney that is qualified to assist me when I present myself to sign the necessary documents? Please also include the location (address, etc.) of where I need to be to sign the documents.
I am anxiously waiting for your kind reply to this request.

Permit me to introduce my firm, Rolu Enterprises, LLC to you and myself.
Prof. Johnson Issa of the Central Bank of Nigeria suggested that I contact your firm about retaining your services. Apparently, it will be necessary for your firm to act on my behalf for the signing of three classified documents in connection to the release of payment to our firm.
I am not at all certain what the exact nature of the documents is but if you contact Prof. Johnson Issa at his email address I am certain that he can better explain the requirements to you. His email address is: johnsonissacbn@minister.com
Would you kindly forward to me by return email, a precise estimate of the ENTIRE cost of effectuating this transaction. Would you please itemize the individual cost? It is important that I am aware of the entire cost because my personal funding is limited to time sensitive Certificates of Deposit. I beg you to not procrastinate in this matter because I have only twelve days to have e the documents executed. I respectfully request that you respond to my inquiry as soon as possible.

I received an email from Emma Oboh Saturday regarding her representation of me for the signing of the transfer documents. I still feel that we are being ripped off but I promise to not aggravate the situation. We'll pay but I'm going to be very careful so as not to repeat the blunder of last month.
By the way, have you had any success in tracking down the culprit who took me for the $1200.00? I guess we can probably kiss that money goodbye.
A thought occurred to me regarding Dr. Emma Oboh. Last week, I simply inquired regarding her fees and expenses but as of this writing, I did not actually retain her services. From the tone of her email, she is running off to the capital to represent me without any authorization or a Power of Attorney that assigns to her the authority to represent me concerning the particular matter at hand. I have some experience with attorneys. Usually, the first thing they do is explain their fee structure and the next is having a retainer signed, which includes a Limited Power of Attorney.
Well, I haven't written to Dr Oboh yet. I'd rather like to hear from you before I agree to her terms. We have until the August 26th according to the extension from Prof Issa. Nevertheless, I'm sure you want to get this over with as soon as possible and so do I.
Please then, let me know if you know anything about this new attorney that Prof Issa recommended.

Dear Williams: 045
You missed the point of my email! I question the attorney's professionalism and attentiveness to detail. If in fact he is taking direction form the ministry then we must conclude either incompetence of the attorney and/or collusion between the banker and the attorney.
You seem to be intent on getting money to this attorney. As I told you before, I'll deliver the money personally and not before the 15th when the entire sum will become available to me.
The only point I need to clarify with the attorney is to whom the registered bank checks shall be made to the order of. For example, should the check for the $25,000 be made to the order of the bank or to someone else?
As I stated earlier, we have time because I can not get the funds until the 15th of this month. Meanwhile, don't you think the attorney should prepare the Letter of Intent as well as the Power of Attorney? She wants $10,500 for her services and I feel that her services should include the preparation of all pertinent documents.
Don't you agree? Be patient, soon this will be all over and you will get all that you are entitled to. I promise you that!

Thank you for your email of 12 August, 2003.
Regarding the Power of Attorney I feel that the preparation of such documents are better prepared by you, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, rather than having it prepared by someone unfamiliar with Nigerian legal protocol.
Permit me to suggest the following. Since I will be traveling to Abuja to arrive on either the 17th or the 18th of August, any paperwork can be completed at a personal meeting with you. Furthermore, I expect that it will be only a matter of minutes to prepare the Power of Attorney and the Agreement for Representation.
At that time, I will have with me Bank of America Certified Checks in the amounts that you have designated in your previous communication. It is imperative, therefore, that you forward to me the Legal Entity names written exactly as they that should appear on the checks as well as the amounts. Preciseness is absolutely necessary because once issued by the bank, only the bearer can deposit the check into his similarly named account. It is not possible to obtain a certified check unless it is assigned to a specific bearer. I will not travel with an excessive amount of negotiable funds. I am sure you understand.
Please also forward an itemized list of any additional expenses that may be incurred so that I may plan for these additional expenses and bring sufficient funds with me.
Sincerely,
Roy Rogers Rolu, M.D.

Dear Sir,
It is delightful you are coming to Nigeria. Is this your first time?
Succinct to your mail, the Central Bank of Nigeria accepts only Barkley's bank of London and Union of Switzerland certified bank draft for contractual payments. However, if you have difficulty with these bank, we could arrange the receipt of the money here in Nigeria.
As regards the Power of Attorney, it against the ethics of legal profession prepare such document on your behalf. Nevertheless, I could give you a spacemen of Power of Attorney which you must sign and be noted by a notary public. You also have the option of preparing an appointment letter on your company letter headed paper empowering this chamber to act on your behalf - however this letter must be signed with your company seal on it. This option is also acceptable at the bank.

Dr. Rolus reply to Oboh with BCC to Lad
Dear Dr. Oboh:
Thank you for your prompt reply to my inquiries.
In answer to your question regarding if this is my first ever visit, I was assigned to the US Embassy for six months when I was in the Marine Corps. Sentry duty at an Embassy is usually boring and in this case it wasn't any different. My nephew, who will accompany me to Nigeria, is anxious to visit because he can also get the same assignment as a Marine Guard at the US embassy in Nigeria. I have been trying to discourage him from volunteering for said duty and maybe this trip will make him realize that he should seek an assignment elsewhere. He has an opportunity to join the Political Division at the embassy in Mexico City and he is hesitating to decide. I am hoping that this trip will help him decide.
A Barclays Bank of London certified bank draft for contractual payments is not a problem as long as I have the legal entity to whom the checks should be assigned to. I am under the assumption that the one check for 25K is to be made to the order of the "Central National Bank of Nigeria". The second check for 10.5K must be made to the order of whom? Please get back to me with any corrections.
I don't believe I'll have difficulty with the Power of Attorney but if you would please send me a 'specimen' - as you call it - it would assure us that we are using the correct format. I find your choice of the word 'specimen' amusing since it has an entirely different connotation for us in the medical field.
Thank you for your information. Please reply forthwith as document preparation is a time consuming problem for me.

I am rather disappointed although, not at all surprised - with the inadequate service that we are receiving from Dr. Emma Obohs office. I just dont understand why attorneys seem to feel that shoddy customer service should be their modus operandi. I am relieved, however, that you suggested that Abu Waziri get in contact with me in case Oboh did not work out. Since he also is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Im certain that he is equally competent to handle our situation. Unless I hear favorably from Obohs office, Ill contact Waziri tomorrow and have him meet me sometime after Wednesday morning.
I will be flying from Chicago tonight via British Airways and will arrive in London tomorrow morning where Ill meet my nephew. Later in the evening (20:20), we will both fly to Abuja via BA0083 and will arrive at the Abuja International Airport at 04:45 Wednesday.
Although I usually do not fly first-class, I have decided that the long duration of this flight to Abuja warrants an extra degree of comfort. British Airways has a particularly comfortable arrangement for first class travelers. Flying can be stressful, which is probably why British Airways operates a spa out of its London first-class lounge. They offer a range of treatments and massages "designed to relieve the stresses of the journey and prepare you for a relaxed and comfortable flight." The first-class section is impressive, too. Each individual seat is called a "demi cabin" because it converts not only into a bed, but an office of sorts with a separate seat where another passenger (presumably also from first class) can "visit" with you. British Airways also has a reputation for having an excellent on-board "cellar" with a selection of wines, champagnes and spirits but alas, no bar.
I am also anxious to try my new PcAnywhere software which permits me to use my office PC from, supposedly, any where in the world. If everything works OK, Ill be in touch with you without a hitch or interruption (except for in-flight time).
The end is near!

Response sent to Professor Issa with BCC to LAD on 8/20/0. Time to change attorneys to one highly recommended by Scamorama.
Dear Professor Issa:
Thank you for your advisory with respect to the acceptance of cash and only cash for settlement payments made to the Central Bank of Nigeria. I find it highly unusual that CBN will not honor a draft from a correspondent bank.
Although I requested information of this nature from Dr. Emma Obohs office some time ago, I have yet to receive a reply from the attorney as of this date. As a consequence, I have had to travel with a large sum of cash. It was an experience that I would rather forget worrying about carrying so much cash and being mugged or robbed. Fortunately, all is OK as the cash is now safely tucked away in a large personal strong box which in turn is placed in the hotels safe.
Please be advised that Dr. Emma Oboh is no longer representing me in this matter.
Henceforth, please direct any inquiries or information in regard to this transaction to:

I lost my aged father. I had been away for one week. I have just returned and decided to reach you immediately.
I received your copied mail and it is really unfortunate that the bank wants all payment in cash. This sequel to the fact that it is prohibited to bring such money in cash to Nigeria. This the more reason you need an attorney who can make arrangement on your behalf. If you try smuggling it into the country, the money could be stolen. I can possibly arrange a friend who has a foreign account. He can easily make the money available here.

DR ROY ROLU
Dear Dr. Williams:
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Please accept my condolences. I have to admit that I was a bit disconcerting not hearing from you shortly before and during my trip. I was irritated with Emma Obohs silence. Why is it that some attorneys feel that the world must revolve at their pace? More about attorneys later.
This has been, for me, a most exciting week. I flew to London Monday evening and arrived at Heathrow early Tuesday morning. In London, my nephew Darryl met me at the airport when I got off the plane. This was indeed a thrill for me because I had not seen him since a couple of months before the USAs attack on Iraq. Just imagine how dignified and regal he looked in his parade dress uniform. We spent the entire day visiting London and that evening we flew to Abuja. We arrived in Nigeria about 30 minutes earlier than scheduled at 04:15 Wednesday.
When we arrived, Darryl and I were treated to another pleasant surprise. A flight attendant asked to remain seated until all the passengers left the plane. After everyone disembarked, two young Marines came on the plane and escorted us out of the airport via the diplomat exit and into a limo. We were taken first to the US ambassadors residence for a delightful breakfast and a short visit with some of the embassy staff. Although everyone was curious to know the reason I was there in Nigeria, I merely said that I was there with Darryl so that my nephew could look into the possibilities of an assignment to the embassy in Nigeria.
Later, they chauffeured my nephew and me to the NICON Hilton. Upon our arrival at the Hilton, they advised us that our stay was gratis. Our suite was splendid and appointed for royalty. All the while, I wondered why this was happening. I thought that you had arranged such a warm and royal welcome. Later I discovered that all of this first class treatment was a courtesy extended by Ambassador Jeter. Apparently, my nephew had advised the embassy of our pending visit to Nigeria and Jeter responded by appointing me USA Diplomat to Nigeria Honoraria Causia. Although the diplomat designation was only honorary, it afforded us all the rights and courtesies of a career diplomat. The ambassadors reason for this warm welcome was that he remembered that my staff at the Institute saved his life. This royal treatment, then, and this was his way of expressing his appreciation and gratitude. It was a fantastic and memorable experience.
Now, changing my focus to the subject of attorneys. I asked Emma Oboh several times for clarification as to whom the payees were to be for the 25K and the 10.5K but the attorney failed to inform me of any of the details. The thought of arriving in Nigeria without any contact caused me to be wary. So much so, I decided to return to home on the next flight. My nephew convinced me to continue with our planned visit. Obviously, he wasnt concerned about being stranded. I therefore decided to contact Waziri and informed him that I needed to see him. Waziri visited me at the hotel with an associate Wednesday afternoon. His knowledge of every detail regarding our situation and even including the Bermuda bank details proved to me that he was indeed the same person that you recommended. Only you had the complete knowledge of our situation therefore only you could have possibly passed this info on to him. Incidentally, I was very surprised that you denied recommending him in your email of Saturday. I thought that I was the only person that suffered from memory lapses.
On Thursday, Waziri accompanied my nephew and me to the adjunct offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria where I signed our transfer papers, paid our fees, and authorized an EFT fund transfer to the Bermuda account. The officials at CBN indicated that the Bermuda Bank will receive the funds within 72 hours. They explained that the transfer would first deposited to the New York Divisional Bank and then subsequently to the Bermuda account via a Toronto, Canada correspondent bank. The process is overwhelming but appears to be logical.
As soon as I confirm the deposit into my account, I will let you know. Meanwhile, you should let me know what you want to have done with your share.
By the way, Waziri only charged me $4000.00 for his services. He also confirmed my own suspicions that Issa is somewhat of a shady character and that he is in collusion with the attorneys that he recommends. He also mentioned that Issa is in realty a common and unsophisticated scammer that subscribes to many aliases such as: Williams.Issa, Issa Williams, in order to hide his identity. I received a couple of emails from Issa. In one of his directives, he stated that checks were unacceptable by the bank. Can you imagine such ridiculousness. In another directive, he stated that I could not bring in cash into the country. How did he expect me to settle the account, with gold? Well it matters not now because our money is on its way to Bermuda and we no longer have to deal with the Professor whoever the hell he is!.
I expect to go there next week for the fund distribution. Will you also be going there?

Dear Roy 061
How are you today?
Have you sent the money? This has become necessary because I need the money urgently. I will pay you back.
Meanwhile have received your contractual entitlement?
I await your immediate response.
Your friend,
Dr. Shagaya 062
DR ROY ROLU
Dr. Williams: 063
How are you?
Your emails arrived intact, I suppose.
Western Union is absolutely the worst company that I have ever had to deal with. They have now established security measures that border on the ridiculous. Twice now, I have had a most difficult time to send money overseas. Because of Homeland security rules, WU now require photo Ids of both the sender and the receiver if the amount transmitted is over $1000. They claim to need the senders identification in case there is any illegal activity associated with the transfer.
Permit me to suggest the following two possibilities.
Send me your account particulars and I will have your money transferred as a direct deposit into your account by the Bermudan bank as soon as the CNB transfers the funds. I have just checked and the EFT is not yet complete. The money transfer should have been completed by now. I certainly hope that all is OK. Perhaps if you have time you can verify the situation at the bank.
A second possibility is that I can send the cash via USPS International. I can insure the package and it should be there within 48 hours. If this option suits you, please rush the name and complete address to where I can send it. It must be an office or residence because someone there will have to have an ID to sign for the package.
Once you decide on one of the two above options, please hurry and email me with the necessary details.
I would prefer to discuss your recommendation of Abu Waziri later. Im certain that you have more important issues to be concerned with at this particular time. After we each get what is coming to us, who cares who recommended Waziri!
Keep the faith. This will soon be over.
RRR, M.D.
The lad will simply not identify himself.

Dear Roy 064,
If actually that you want to send the money to me, you should have it sent in multiple transactions via Western Union. If you are sending $3,000, You should send $900 in three transactions and $300 in one transaction. You can make the transaction two or three western union offices or their agent.
Your suggestion of USPS is uncalled for because the money will not be delivered here in Nigeria. I am in Nigeria and I know what is obtainable here. The money will be stolen on transit and your essence of sending it will be defeated.
I want to believe that the supposed Central Bank officials that you signed the documents with are not demanding for more money from you. Please keep me informed on this situation. I will visit the Bank tomorrow for more information on your payment. For now, do not send money to the supposed bank officials or any government official on this transaction till I am true with my investigation.
Try as much as can to send the money in multiple transactions. I await your response.
Your friend,
Dr. Shagaya 065

I await your response

Dr. Shagaya 066
How are you?
I have received you emails concerning the money for your fathers funeral. I fully realize the urgency of your request for the funeral money. However I have not sent the money yet. As I told you before in an earlier message, I will not send money via Western Union.
It is simply too risky and I could get in a whole lot of trouble attempting to bypass our Homebound Security systems.
Please dont suggest I send multiple sums via Western Union because WU now has a worldwide integrated computer network and has a record of each transaction. They will know immediately if I am attempting to break down the total money shipment into multiple and smaller shipments. The moment I try to duplicate a transaction (i.e. send multiple transactions), I will probably be arrested as a suspected contributor to a terrorist or some drug related activity. As I stated earlier, Western Union is, for me, outside the realm of consideration and I will definitely not ever use that mode of sending money again.
Im sure that you know what may be received in Nigeria but I know from experience what are the circumstances and difficulties that a sender from the USA has when attempting to send money to Nigeria.
If USPS will not work for you then send me your account particulars and I will have the money wired directly into your account and you will have the cash almost immediately.
Damn! If you had only stayed in touch with me last week, I could have personally given you the money because I had a surplus of cash with me. Well lets not cry over spilled milk. Get back to me with your account details and I will get the money to you immediately.
Apparently, the transfer has not yet happened. I am beginning to be concerned because the transfer should have been completed by now. Last week, I was told that it would only take 24 to 48 hours to complete the transfer. Yesterday, you said that you would check into the transfer with the bank. Have you done this yet? Let me know.
Forward your account details and Ill get the funeral money to you right away. Please hurry because we are starting a long holiday weekend (Labor Day) and I will not be able to transact any banking business as the banks will be closed until Tuesday of next week.
Regards,
RRR 067

Dear Roy,
I have spoken with a friend who has foreign account. On you payment of the money into his account, he will have it given to me over here. I have decided to use this method because of time; if you have to send directly to my account, it will take two to three weeks to clear for collection. I will have the account forwarded to you on Monday.
What is the situation with the payment.Has the fund been transfered? I will be at the bank on Monday for proper investigation if actually you have signed the documents with the real bank officials. For now, I must advise that you do not make any payment until I have conducted my investigation.
Dr. Shagaya
This submission is probably the last one that deals with Shagaya Williams.In the past two weeks, some twenty newcomers have bombarded me with their proposals. I just forwarded most of them to the lad since he is probably the instigator of all these new emails.

Yet another objection. Remember that I got Abu Waziri's data from Scamorama.
DR ROY ROLU

Dr. Williams: 068
How are you?I hope everything is fine with you.
I am possibly paranoid but there is something going on that troubles me a whole lot. The last few emails that I have received presumably from you lack the security codes that we have established some time ago. In addition, 'you' are requesting that I send money to you via a third party.This situation seems to be a repeat of the last time I sent money.
It also seems rather strange that you seem to be far more concerned about receiving a few thousand dollars than the millions that are on the way to us.Should you not be more concerned that the CBN transfer of funds is yet to be completed?
The subject of Abu Waziri also bothers me.You were aware that I was going to visit with him and you said nothing until after my return fromNigeria.Why did you wait to warn me?
Could you have not nominated someone to meet me inNigeria?Were you too busy to spend a moment to welcome my nephew and me? Your priorities are directed in rather strange directions.
In your email of9/1/2003, you suggest that I send the money toSingapore.If the money can be sent fromSingaporeto you, why can't the money be sent to you directly? Why must you use an intermediary?
All of the above details leads me to believe that I am not communicating with the same person with whom I started this venture.Someone has access to you computer and seems to be modifying your emails.They are sending me instructions that divert funds to others.You should look into this very carefully.
I will send the money. I will however, only direct that the money be deposited to an account named for you, Shagaya Williams.I am adamant about this and no one will convince me to do otherwise. Send me your account details.
Regards.
RRR, M.D.
It seems that the burial has been postponed a couple of weeks in order to wait for the money.

Dear friend 070,
I personally sent you the below copied email as how you will have the money sent to me. This is consequently to the fact that If you have to send the money to me directly, it will take 3 to 4 weeks before the fund is cleared here. However, on my friend confirmation of the money in the said account, according to him ,2 days, he will have the money given to me here. Note he is only trying to help me.
I have asked many times if you have received the fund. I personally warned against Abu Warziri but you never listened. You have the bank contact, you would have communicated them to authenticate the accreditation of the aforementioned attorney but you never did. Presently, I am still visiting the bank with assistance of my contact to verify the true nature of things; hopefully in good time, I should be able to get authentic information as regards the position of things. You should please note that I do not believe in speculations.
I have warned you that you should not for what soever reason pay money to another person that is indirectly involved in this transaction. In other words the supposed bank officials or collaborators. This has become imperative till the completion of my investigation. If you have paid money to wrong persons again, we may have to start afresh. You may even have to comeNigeriaagain. Please remember that I warned you against Abu Warziri
You friend,
Dr. Shagaya
Included a copy of his previous email.
9/3/2003 This email should be the beginning of the end but who knows?
DR ROY ROLU
What is happening?
You first warned me about Warziri on August 23.The problem with your warning was that it was made after I returned from Nigeria.This was after I paid the CBN fees and paid Warziri his fee. I asked you about the suggestion you made for a lawyer and I stated that I thought it unusual for you to suggest someone else.This was weeks ago. Why did you wait so long to warn me?
I can only conclude that one of two possibilities exists. One possibility is that you are not reading my emails completely and therefore you are not paying attention to the questions that I am asking you.
The other possibility is much more serious. You are in collusion with Warziri and he is in reality your partner in a swindle to defraud me.
It is easy to conclude that my latter conclusion is correct.You have unknowingly revealed to me that there is something amiss in this transaction. I cannot comprehend why any moneys that are sent to you must be forwarded via a third party.I think that with all the security problems we have been witnessing you would not want to risk not receiving the money.
Whatever!Something is just not right. And I am con cerned. Perhaps you can explain.
RRR, M.D.

DearRoy071,
I have received a confirmation from the bank that your payment has been suspended. Consequently, if actually you were inNigeria, you have been defraud again. I have been comprehensively informed that the said Abu is not an attorney and not accredited to the Central Bank ofNigeria.
You may not have to send more money to me because with situation of things, I am displaced to receive whatsoever fund from you because what we have together is in jeopardy because of you. I will burial my father with or without you
Importantly, Please note that I do not know warziri. If knew him, I should not have been against him. Think about it. Consequently we are not, for whatsoever, reason working together.
I initiated this transaction and without me, It can not be actualised. You have totally refused to obey my instruction. I am not happy with you.
your friend,
Dr. Shagaya

DearRoy072
How are you today.
I write to knowif you have received the money. I believe that if you had signed the payment documents with right people, by now, the fund should be in your account.Ihope that you have not sent more money to the fake officials. Be warned, do not send any money to any body again until I say so. I want to personally see to this transaction.
You communicate the bank now on why you payment was suspended. Ask what is the next step forward so that you get paid. If an attorney is required, I will personal get one on your behalf who will see to this transaction.
I await your.
Dr. Shagaya
DR ROY ROLU
Dr. Shagaya:
I was about to answer your email of yesterday wherein you stated,"You have totally refused to obey my instruction. I am not happy with you." While I was in the process of answering yesterday's mail, I received your email dated today.In today's correspondence, you said, "I want to personally see to this transaction". Both emails, sent within the last 24 hours, obviously convey opposite messages and attitudes.
Your attitude is schizophrenic and displays to me that you are a very immature and unstable person.Anyone with the personality swings that you have demonstrated to me in you emails has serious problems.Over the course of the many emails that I received from you, I detected an explosive personality with deep routed anger.Put in easier terms, you think the world owes you something and you are trying to reach your goals in any way possible and regardless of whom you "step on" or hurt.
I would rather not deal with your condescending and patronizing attitude.As you said yesterday, "Consequently we are not, for whatsoever, reason working together". You are probably correct - we should not work together.

IF YOU WERE IN MY POSITION, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL WHEN TRANSACTION THAT INVOLVES HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IS BEING MISMANAGED? UNSTABLE, YOU ARE RIGHT.
AS STATED IN MY PREVIOUS MAIL, I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MR. ABU WAZIRI. I DO NOT KNOW HIM. THE BANK HAS COMPREHINSIVELY INFORMED ME THAT HE IS NOT ACREDITTED TO THEM THEREFORE I ADVISE THAT YOU STOP DEALING WITH HIM.
I AM PREPARED TO CONTINUE THIS TRANSACTION WITH YOU BUT I NEED AN ASSURANCE FROM YOU TAHT MY FUND SHALL BE SAFE. THIS IS SEQUEL TO RECENT DEVELOPMENT.
I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE.

More aptly, my dear pet:
You must realize that you have been my pet mugu for the last five months.That is correct; you have been my pet just like a dog, a parrot or a squirrel monkey. Well I guess it is time to change pets because you are beginning to bore me. Thanks for giving us so much enjoyment with your ridiculous and incredible emails.
I hope you noticed the word "us" in the last sentence. Every one of your ridiculous emails is published on a web site that is available for hundreds of millions of decent folks to see.The web site exists for the purpose of exposing thieves like you. I could tell you how to find a copy of all you emails to me but I would rather that you look for the web site yourself.
Start with "419 Nigerian Scams" or "Advanved Fee Scams" on any search engine.You will be surprised that there are so many people who are just itching to take you for a "ride".If you can not find your "gems or articulation", do let me know and I will help you.
BTW, I knew you were a 419 scammer from the very first email that you sent me.I created Dr Rolu just for you in the same way that you invented the millions of dollars that do not exist. My only regret is that you are such a poor excuse for a scammer.Any self-respecting crook would have been far less predictable.
We have had many laughs at you and your stupid remarks.You are a much better comedian than you are a 419 scammer. I told you a few times, that you would get what you were entitled to and, from me, that is precisely what you get - zero, zilch, nada, rien, nothing.
Good Bye, my pet.We have little time for you because we must be on to another stupid mugu! If I catch you swindling again on the internet, I will be back.Next time, certainly not as Doctor Rolu but with a new name, a new profession and a new email site; all created especially for you.
RRR
More to come? I doubt it. The lad has apparently sent out my 'particulars' to others because I've been flooded with scam emails to Dr. Rolu's mailbox. The mailbox was created just for this mugu.
more to come?
