Yep, thats what Murrays letter looked like. The paper was wierdly
translucent.

Cheers

From decades of dealing with Asia, the good stuff was called
"onionskin" and you could put a bunch of pages into an airmail
envelope and still not be kicked up to the next postal rate, but this
stuff was especially nasty and flimsy. I doubt current laser printers
could handle paper that thin without jamming. The good old Multi 1250
had no problems feeding and offset printing it, but they had the
luxury of compressed air riffling and vacuum sucker pickups to help
the edge grabbers get a single sheet.

Well, I understand that avariciously stupid people deserve a good lesson,
but if they go to jail we have to pay to keep them there.
If they commit suicide they leave behind upset families.

Most of all I hate the fact that a bunch of thieving vermin are making
millions while I'm trying to earn an honest crust.

They're probably laughing loudest at you and I.

I think the west should deduct the amount scammed from the amount we give
them in aid.

Only then are their governments going to make a crackdown,
when it comes out of their pockets.
Cheers!

I milked it until they stopped calling. Nothing more fun than scamming
a scammer.

You dirty rotten scoundrel!

I did a similar thing with some junk mail I kept getting from a finance
company. I rang them twice (1-800 number (0800 actually but I translated
:))and asked to be taken off their mailing list, but it never happened.
So one day when I was watching a particularly tedious simulation and
another one arrived, I rang them and wasted a good 20 minutes of their
time. They duly couriered me ($4) the $20,000 loan agreeement docs to
sign (about 20 pages worth), along with a pre-paid courier bag ($4) with
which to send them back. After a few days, I rang and asked when the
docs were gonna arrive. They sent me another set, with another courier
bag - whereupon I rang them back and got them to change some of the
agreement. Another agreement + bag, another "where is it" call, and yet
another agreement + bag turned up. One last call, when I tried to talk
down the interest rate, and the guy wasnt having any of it. He got
snotty and asked why I was wasting his time, whereupon I told him about
the junk mail that wouldnt go away, thanked him for the $16 worth of
prepaid courier bags, and hoped that the 80 pages of documentation and
$32 worth of courier bags had provided a suitable object lesson. He hung
up, and I have never received another piece of junk mail from them
again. I have also used the courier bags :)

Aid should *never* be given to governments.

Usually governments are the people who create disasters in the first place.

And pocket aid before it gets to the victims.

Western governments don't seem to care who it gets to.
Just as long as they are seen to be giving out aid money (from our pockets),
they take the public credit (and the private arms contracts).

When money talks - it swears.

A lot of so-called "aid" is advanced weaponry. They certainly wouldn't
want that stuff in the hands of their citizens. Hmm... maybe you have
a point!

Nah. Money itself is neutral. It's what us peons use to buy stuff
with.

The thing that needs to be examined is intent.

I saw some guy on teevee (so you know it's true ;-) ), who, when a
telemarketer called, would say, "Would you please tell me the exact
name of your company and the exact name of your supervisor? You
see, I have to know whom to bill, because you are using my private
telephone instrument to conduct your business, and my fee for rental
of my personal telephone equipment for marketing purposes is one
thousand dollars per hour. Thank you."

According to the TV report, they hang up and never call again.

It is morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money. ;-)

Do a whois on "koded.co.uk" and you'll see it's registered at the same

Go to www.koded.co.uk and click "view source"....

The result? "Author...Matt Cartwright"

I have a feeling that his attorney is really himself and everyone I
had talked to in the prior scam in Lagos all used cell phones. Must be
easier to operate "on the run"... from the law that is.

Awww... cut the guy a break. Give him a call and tell him you'll do it. But,
you'll need a bit to cover your expenses, and he can send you a cashiers
check post haste...

I would have thought names mentioned in that letter would scare almost
everyone off, not to mention the crimes they'd think they could be
charged with if they believed it to be true. I guess its a way of
filtering out the sensible folk and targeting only the really stupid
and desperate.
