Here's the latest installment. I REALLY need to get another hobby.
... well shiver me timbers, I guess we are going to have Act III of
this little play after all. I really thought this one was over, and
can you blame me after the last few messages? But now is where we
start getting REALLY creepy.
Donna to Buthele:
Well you must have a lot of time. We put together nearly 50 pages of messages between the five of us. Or two of us. Or however many of us there were. How many people have you really gotten money from? Actually, I find it amazing that people actually do send you Nigerians money, but I know that some do. How much do you make doing this? It must be a pretty good living if you have so much free time to engage in fake correspondence with an American college student just having a little fun. Really, I'm curious how much you actually pull down doing this stuff. It's gotta pay better than teaching undergraduate computer science classes, which is what I have to do to pay for school at C-M. No animosity--we both had some fun with it--maybe we can learn a little from it? Donna [Ed. Note-I started sending e-mails to all his From: Donna Dixon Subject: Hee, hee! To: louis.kotova@caramail.com Hello again, Buthele! Donna From: Donna Dixon To: htsala@hknetmail.com Hi, Buthele! donna To: buthelem@yahoo.com From: Donna Godchaux Subject: More?

[I really figured this one was done a week ago, From: buthele madinga buthelem@yahoo.com Subject: Re: More? To: Donna I REALLY MISS U SO MUCH. I HAD FUN WITH YOU.I WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU.HONESTLY SPEAKING. B.M.Donna to Buthele: Really, truly? Don't fool around now. If you are serious, that's fine, but I don't want any more joking around. I miss you, too, but how do I know you are not just continuing the scam? I really am interested in what you guys do, too, but if you don't want to talk about that, that's fine. I know you work really hard at it because I know how much time it took me to weave my little stories for you. Are you really making any serious money, or are you just making enough to pay for your expressos and lattés at the internet café where you send these things from? How would I get involved in doing it? Just curious. Where should we meet, you devil, you? Amsterdam? Lagos? How about Sandton? Maybe the Grace Hotel? Hee, hee. Sounds like Zaire is out of the question, though? What's your real name, anyway? I know all your fake ones from looking through your computer already. By the way, your "hint" word for your password on your e-mail account "ahmed_cole2001@zwallet.com" is "Bingo", just in case you think I'm fooling. Unless someone other scammer is using the same computer you are at the internet café! Wouldn't that be funny? If you have instant messenger, we wouldn't have to do e-mails. How about it? And quit typing in all caps. It's considered shouting! And I wouldn't sign off using the initials "B.M." Here in the States, that means "Bowel Movement". EEEW! L&K DonnaButhele to Donna: Is your name really donna? if not, what is your real name? I can come on line for you either on MSN or YAHOO messenger so we can chat. Thinking of you, B.M.Buthele to Donna: Donna, get a yahoo or hotmail ID so we can chat online. let me know when you will be online. one more thing,are you black or white? married or single? how old ar you?pls anwer these and any more you think i should know. thinking of you. me.Donna to Buthele: To: buthele madinga Okay, I already have a Yahoo ID I set up a couple years ago [xxxxxx]. I have to figure out how to use the IM software though--I haven't used it. Email I'm comfortable with, but not IM. Speaking of e-mail, my 30-day free trial of this internet provider is almost over, and I don't want to pay for the e-mail service, so I'll be going back to the yahoo e-mail. Please use that from now on, because you might be getting bounces soon from this account. I'm white, single, and 27 years old. How about you? DonnaButhele to Donna: Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 08:31:03 -0800 (PST) From: buthele madinga <buthelem@yahoo.com> Subject: come online now i am online now.just log on to yahoo messenger and invite me for chat.my ID is hakbacrier_airlords@yahoo.com. i wish we met under different circmstances,other than this. hope to catch you online. me.Donna to Buthele: Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 13:08:45 -0800 (PST) I got your message, but I found out that C-M doesn't allow instant messenger programs on its network! They block all the ports used by the IM programs because it is so easy to send viruses via IM programs. Sorry! We could continue via e-mail, though? Donna [Ed. Note-I was really stalling because I wanted to make sure what is your real name? what would you like to know about me.? i really wish we met under different circumstance.i really do. its a pity. me.Donna to Buthele: From: Donna Dixon Sorry I'm so slow to respond. I'm carrying an extra class this semester, and I've got teaching duties for the undergrads, too. Also working part-time for a software firm. Busy, busy. Like I said in a previous e-mail, my real name is Donna. What's yours? How do you keep straight all the names you use in these letters? Do you get them out of a phone book? Seriously, I'm curious. My uncle is an immigration lawyer in New York, and a lot of his clients are Nigerian. A couple are sitting in jail right now for scams similar to what you do, so I'm really curious about how profitable the activity really is. I mean, I'm sure you wouldn't do it if you weren't getting something out of it, but how much do you really make? I literally get three or four of these e-mails every week, and all my friends are in the same boat. I guess it's like the old adage my grampa used to say, "The wider the net, the more fish you catch." Anyway, I'm just curious about how the whole thing works. I don't care about names, places or anything like that--I'm sure you have to protect whoever you work with, but I'd love to hear how the whole thing works. DonnaDonna to Buthele: From: Donna Dixon I haven't heard from you in a little while. I hope all is well with you. I heard there was a terrible explosion in Lagos the other day. I hope you weren't affected by it. Hope to hear from you soon! Donna [...sad, but true. Something like 45 people were killed Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2003 06:00:07 -0800 (PST) Donna, Give me a specific time when you will be able to go to a cyber cafe and come online so we can chat. i was not affected by any explosion anywhere. me. Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2003 06:03:48 -0800 (PST) From: Donna Dixon I'm glad to hear you are okay. I would like to chat, but it seems like every time I get to a cafe, you are not on line. Am I doing something wrong? I haven't used these IM programs much, and I was using Yahoo Messenger the one time I sent you a message. Is that the right one to use? Do you know how much of a time difference there is between Pennsylvania and where you are? BTW, what on earth does your IM user name mean? It sounds so intimidating! What's an "Airlord"? I still don't know your real name, either. Hee, hee. Also, I got a notice that my other e-mail address has been disconnected now--it was fun while it was free! You should use this one from now on. Sorry for the switch, but I'm a student on a limited budget, and I have to save money where I can! I wish I had money like my little character Donna Jean! Donna [Actually, I do know a little about what an "Airlord" is- Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2003 08:50:01 -0800 (PST) dear donna, i got your mail.what you should do is to PM me whenever you are online.if i am online,then we can chat.i am online now for the next 30 mins.if you are online,click "message" then put in my ID and semd me a message,i will then respond.oki? miss u. me.
[Enough of the chit-chat. From: Donna Dixon Subject: Re: come online To: buthele madinga Sorry for the silence--I went to Atlantic City with a couple girlfriends over the weekend. I was playing the quarter slot machines, and I won $6800! We decided to stay a couple extra days because the hotel paid for our room after I won. I guess they wanted me to put the money back in the slot machines! NO CHANCE! We stayed out late, drank a lot of champagne and generally had a wild time. Back to the grind, though. You still haven't answered any of my questions about you. My but you are so mysterious... Why the secrecy? Still trying to figure out the IM. I'll try what you suggested, though. DonnaButhele to Donna: Dear Donna, I got your mail.I am happy you wrote to me.Its good to hear that you are having a nice time.I wish it was the same for me here.Life is like hell that why we delve into this kind of "business".I hope you will understand.No one plans to end up like this. In your heart of hearts,will you be willing to assist me financiallly.I am only asking you for a favour.Here,only the high and mighty( the mediocres) in the society reap everything.We the common men are left with little or nothig.If it is your wish to assist,please let me know, and i will furnish you with the details of how to go about it.Otherwise,lets still be friends. Forgive me for my actions as you have already told me that you are working with the law enforcement agents.How do then expect me to feel free about my identity?I am only being human to exhibit my fears.Wouldn't you? I really like you and once again, i wish we met under different circumstances. If you should know,I am 32 yeas old,6ft 3" tall and averagely built.I wish i could feel safe to tell all about my life.I miss you. Thoughts, Me.
[These guys NEVER give up. To quote Black Flag, From: Donna Dixon Oops. I just re-read my earlier message, to you, and iI forgot a period--I won $68.00, not $6800! Can you imagine carrying $6800 in quarters around? I'm not THAT strong. As it was, $68.00 took up almost a whole bucket. Gotta re-read my messages before I hit "Send". Buthele (that's what I have to call you since I STILL don't know your real name), I'm really not in a position to send you money, I'm afraid. I mean, if I had it, I might consider it, since you sound like you are in a bind. But I'm a student, and I can barely pay for tuition as it is. C-M is REALLY expensive, and part of the reason I'm in school again is that the tech boom went bust, and jobs are hard to find now. A couple years ago, I was working in Silicon Valley making a ton of money, but I lost my job in when the dot-com bubble burst. Too bad I didn't save more, but all my very meager savings is going towards my graduate degree. I'm teaching part-time, and working for a software company, but there's always more month than there is paycheck. For example, I live in a one-bedroom apartment with one other girl, and I sleep on the couch. She pays more rent, so she gets the bedroom, but you can imagine that it's hard on my social life not even having a bed! This past weekend was a rare one out for me, but I've been cooped up all winter, and I'm getting cabin fever--If you ever spend a winter in Pittsburgh, you'll know what I'm talking about. Atlantic City is a drive, but it's cheap entertainment, because all the drinks are free at the casinos. We blew almost all the money I won on gas to get back! I don't know how expensive gas is where you are, but it's climbing here! Anyway, I know you are concerned about the police, so I won't pry. I don't work for the police, but they sometimes ask for our programming help, since where else should you go to get a good programmer but a university? Listen, too. I'm not in the forgiveness business--you do what you have to do to survive, right? I'm sleeping on a couch and working two jobs--you're scamming REALLY gullible people. Both are means to an end, right? It is what it is. A first name would be nice, but I guess Buthele will do, eh? Is there anything you can tell me about your "business" that wouldn't reveal personal details? I mean really, you said things are tough, but are you making enough to pay for your computer time? It looks like you have your own computer to me, so that must have cost something--how do you get your internet access? You know so much about me--it's not really fair. It is nice to have some picture of you in my mind, though, which I now do. Thanks for the details! DonnaButhele to Donna: Dear Donna, I am in receipt of your mail.I understand what you are going through right now because I have been through it and I am even going through worse conditions now.I have to meet up with my house rent in two weeks time.Thats why I asked you for help.Please do not be offended.I only thought that as we have become friends, I could use a little assistance from you. I pray that God finds a way for you to success and you will be in a position to assist fellow human being like yourself. If only you can give me a time when you will be online tomorrow,I will PM you and we can chat.I feel uneasy giving you my mobile phone number.Do you have a phone where I can reach you? Please send it to me so I can give you a call. My first name is mike.Thats as far as i can go for now. Thinking of you, M. [I figured out a way to do IM without a trace- Donna:are u online? Donna:<ding> Donna:I bought another cup of coffee, so I have another five minutes--they're watching, though. Are you there? Buthele: yeah Donna:WAHOO!

Buthele: maybe you should save it for 2 morrow Donna:Nah, I've got you now, and I'm amped from the caffeine Buthele: so we can chat tomorrow Donna:I've had four cups already! Donna:shaking Buthele: better stop it now Buthele: Probably right! Buthele: its not good when its too much Buthele: health reasons Buthele: ok? Donna:I'm a graduate student-remember? I frequently abuse coffee! Buthele: do u have a phone number? Donna:Late night coding requires large amounts of caffeine Buthele: whats coding? Donna:Phone--no. Well, not really, but part of the little story I told you is true--I have an unlisted number because of an old boyfriend--he was stalking me, so I don't give out my phone Donna:Coding is writing computer programs. Buthele: ok Donna:Sorry. Buthele: i will give u my mobile number Donna:I know you even less than I know my old boyfriend. Buthele: can u call me? Buthele: whats that supposed to mean? Donna:If it's international, doubtful--hey how do you afford a cell phone? Buthele: its cheap here Buthele: thats the only cheap thing here Buthele: you can bet a connect card and make int' calls Donna: Nothing personal, Mike, and I didn't mean to offend, but things are not always what they seem sometimes on the internet. We have stories all the time of guys luring women to meet them on the internet, and they never return home. Just being careful, that's all. Like you. Donna: right? Donna:I can look into it.

I guess the Sept. 11 terrorists were using the calling cards to communicate so they didn't leave phone bills showing their calls. As such, I can't get a calling card to most countries in Asia (except Japan, Korea and Singapore), and all of Africa. Nigeria is explicitly listed. Sorry! Try e-mailing me.

I forget sometimes that I'm not just a computer geek and that people might like me for something other than my ability to string together apparently meaningless lines of programming. The guys don't "flock" around me because I'm still very cautious about men after my last boyfriend. Can you blame me? Have you ever seen a dead squirrel after it's been in a car for three days? Not a pretty sight! I still get a cold chill down my spine every time I hear the phone ring because I'm afraid he's found me again. I hope you send your picture soon, since I really want to know what you look like, now that you've seen me. In the interests of TOTAL honesty, though, I'm not really a blonde, though my previous picture makes it look like that. Look carefully, and you can see the dark roots. I'm actually a brunette. Sorry if you are into blondes! I colored my hair last summer when I went to California for a summer job. I wanted to blend in with all the beautiful people out there. It seems like every other woman in California is blonde! It's hard being a blonde in Pittsburgh, though, so I don't even bother while I'm at school. I'll bet there aren't a lot of blondes in Lagos, right? I've attached a couple more recent pictures so you can see my real hair color. I hope you're not disappointed. Say hi to your dad for me. Does he live in Lagos? I'm going to take a nap now. I'm REALLY tired. I'll talk to you when you get back. Donna [Ed. Note-Ashley Judd shore is purdy, ain't she? be going back to my house to be with him in 30 mins time.love,mike [Ed. Note-yep, he's fallen for me. Noboby calls me "baby" who doesn't love me. donna: I miss you too. So, when do I get to see what you look like? You've got something to hang on your wall, and I want the same! Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2003 11:55:45 -0800 (PST) From: Donna Dixon Mike, It's been several days since I heard from you. I hope you are okay. Please drop me an e-mail when you get a chance. Donnadonna: mike, I haven't heard from you in days. I don't know why you aren't writing back, but I'm sad because of it. I don't know if I offended you, but if I did, I'm sorry. Please let me know why you are being so silent! [It's been over a week since I heard from him, |
