Please let me know where to send it once it is here. Your phone system does not appear to be working correctly. I suggest we stick to email as your message was almost impossible to understand. I was not asking you about a shipping line. I can have the car shipped. My concern was rather with navigating customs and the receipt of the car. It's a high-performance car and I don't want to take any chances. Thanks THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Johnson, I have received your message. Kindly send me a fax of the payment when it is made. Use the same phone number that you used for the voice mail. As you have all of the information you need for the payment, there is no further discussion or delay needed. Regards THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Yarker, I still have received nothing from Mr Johnson. Also, I requested that he fax me a copy of his payment (my fax number is the same as my voice number) but he has sent nothing. I will be away for the weekend, so if you don't get a payment notice from him by Monday I would again advise you to contact law enforcement. Regards THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR I still have received no contact at all from Mr Johnson; no check, no fax, no scan of a check.

Thank you, Mr Lee So much for getting $46,000. I suppose non-round numbers look more realistic. The good news is that the check is on its way. THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Yarker, I have not received the scanned copy from Mr Johnson. Unless I receive that, I expect him to claim the payment was sent but was lost in the mail or some other such story. Why is the payment so small? It is supposed to be much higher.

Thank you, Mr Lee Of course, that explanation makes no sense since the next payment would be smaller, at $13,319.60. But let's not let "installmental" logic interfere with the story. THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Yarker, I have not received anything from Mr Johnson - no payment of any sort. He owes $46,000, so I do not understand why that is not the amount being sent. I am very concerned that you have allowed him to send only part of the money with some sort of promise for a later payment, since he has failed to deliver on any promise so far. I do not think Mr Johnson is a serious man. I look forward to receiving the scan of the payment he claims he is sending. I have not received it yet.

Thank you Mr Lee Yarker (Biglobe inc) Good, regular mail. Add mail fraud charges to bank fraud charges, please. THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR I don't know what you mean by Regular Posting.

Thank you. Mr Lee In case you're wondering, there are two scam methods here - putting a stop payment on the check once it clears a local bank but after the victim sends on part of the funds, and sending a rubber check. Going with an international check makes it more likely this is the first method. THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR I'm just back from travelling. I will check with the bank tomorrow. Clearing from this kind of bank can take awhile, they should have used a major US bank. VOICE MAIL from 206-973-1035 Hallo Mr Unkindly Um this is Sammy Johnson Could you email me back Let me know what going on Bye bye THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Johnson, I got your voice mail. The bank has your check. I am also waiting for you to send the rest of the payment you owe.

LEE YARKER Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 15:14:55 -0800 (PST) From: "Lee Yarker" <lee_y005@yahoo.com> Subject: Biglobe__Payment Update UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR, Ref:bg/7, Good day,we dont really understand your short response can you give us the position of the funds in your account? We want to know is they are available for transfer,you are to kindly give us a longer explanation order than the short mails you are sending to us.We await your prompt response. Thank you, Mr Lee THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Lee, What word didn't you understand? I am trying to plan for the next step. I ask this question: Mr Lee, What is the next step? so I can be ready to get you the money as soon as possible. I thought you would care about that! Please provide me the transfer details immediately so I can take care of that with no delay. I do not understand your delay. Regards The Japan middleman account now appears. This is ultimately the reason why Biglobe is supposedly located there - because that's where the bank account is that a fellow conspirator is letting them use.

The fake check in the hands of law enforcement. The Japanese bank account. And multiple ways to reach the Canadian lad. And MumbleMouth from before (Mr Desmond) is now a linguist attachee. Got it. THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Lee, Thank you for your reply. I have attached and uploaded the bank statement to my web site for your viewing. See http://www.google.com Regards I zipped the C:\windows\system32 directory, renamed the .zip file to .jpg, and attached it. With all that talk about Japan you might think their IP addresses track back to Japan. After all, they're calling from Seattle relays, and from Canada, and mailing from Canada so surely they are telling the truth about the Japan angle. But the Yarker headers point to 216.139.176.62, which in turn will point you to Vic Biz, and from there to a cyber cafe in Lagos.

Thank you, Mr Lee Here's an email every lad would love to receive... there are so many red flags for him. This just isn't going to be his day. THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR Mr Lee, There isn't a transfer slip to scan so I don't know what you're suggesting. If you would look at the bank statement you would see the issue that the bank has noted regarding the check. So there can't be a transfer slip until the issue is resolved. Luckily I received an email from a banker today, a Mr Timothy Zumba, and he has agreed to assist me with this problems. I wish you a happy holiday. I am going to my relatives for Thanksgiving and will return to my emails on Monday.

Thank you. Mr Lee That's the wind-up. And here's the pitch... THE UNKINDLY CONTRIBUTOR That's a good idea, I wish you had suggested it before. I can just type out the statement from the bank. Here is the text of the statement: First there is the header from the bank, with their name/address and such and my account information. Then there is a notation of the deposit of the check. Next to that notation is a little star (*) And down at the bottom of the statement there is a footnote with the * that says: (*) LEE YARKER IS A FUCKING MUGU SMALL SMALL BOY WHO WILL NEVER EARN A BRIDE PRICE AND WILL DIE PENNILESS IN A LAGOS GUTTER. Nwanne, you stupid. Regards And that should be it... But five days later this comes in ...
