Tiscali Scambusters

Buried treasure

We've received a new email from Antony Talbot who was sent a 'scam' request from Mr Bonaventure. Luckily for Mr Bonaventure, he found a large sum of money buried in a box and wants us to help set up a business in the UK.
The money has been moved to Thailand-Bangkok and we've been asked to keep this whole affair very secret, so please don't read the correspondence on these pages...

Mr Bona

Attn Sir:
I am Mr.Bonaventure Gray,from Sierra Leone.me and my partner Mr.John Caley discoverd a huge sum of money in $100.00 dollars note from the former dictor of Liberia Mr.Charles taylor's house when he was on exile in western african country, the money was buried in a Big hole digged right inside his house,we saw it while on a search at his home. We eventually made our way to thailand-bangkok with this money, When we get here,we deposited the money with a security firm for safe keeping before we can find someone to help us make use of it in investment wise and we want to remain in Bangkok till we get somebody to help us, though we pay the company dumuurages for the safe keeping of our luggage because we didn't let them know the real contents because of security purposes.

If this money is removed from the security firm and be in your custody in your country then we have to plan where to invest but that will depend on your advice since we never go into any business before.,so please try and keep this our secret for us in order to help us build our future. We read that your country are growing rapidly well in the business circle,so we kindly need your trust sir.Do not be borthered because you will be rewarded with some good percentage of the total amount hence you agreed to assist us. Rememebr that full trust will be of more importance in anything doing on earth today and that was our major reason of contacting you frist and we know also that you will not be a disappointment to us.

Once again,you shall be rewarded wonderfully well if you can run to our rescue,please help us to survive,you don't have anything to loose at last,thank you very much and have a nice day. Yours,
Mr.Bonaventure Gray.

Hello Lord Buster,

I really appreciate your last mail and was very impressed about your profile,i thank you very much for that.Now that i'm sure you are capable to handle this proposal,i am suggesting that you have to meet me in Bangkok-Thailand so that you will help me remove the money from it's present location because i cannot do it on my own that is why i need your assistance.

Therefore,may i know the date of your arrival so that i will give a prior information to the security firm that im about to clear my consignment with them.This will not take more than 2- 3 working days for us to finalise everything then,when you go back to your country,we will prepare for me how i can come over there for final settlement and to start up a business.

Thank you once again and hoping for your urgent responce soon,infact i am glad for you my dear friend,have a nice day till then,bye.

Sincerly Yours,
Mr.Bona.

Our reply

Dear Mr Bona
I'm a bit tied up at the moment, my wife, Lady Buster, being into that sort of thing ever since watching a documentary on channel 4 about S and M, however I could send one of my staff with all the relevant documentation?
I was thinking of Nigel in accounts, a nice lad with a wonderful disposition and a slight limp.
Anyway, let me know when you would like him to fly out to Bangkok and I'll make all of the arrangements.
Regards and Interference
Lord Buster

Mr Bona

Hello Lordbuster,
Thanks for your mail.It is you that will tell me when you are coming so that i will informa the security company of your arrival.just let me know in your next reply,Thanks.
Mr.Bona.

Our reply

My dearest Mr Bona
I am preparing Nigel for this arduous journey, into the great unknown, as we speak. Nigel is extremely excited as he has never been north of Watford before, mainly due to the slight limp and also because his Mother refuses to let him stay out past 10pm in the evening.
I'm going to book his flight as soon as possible and as my personal emissary; I trust you will afford him every courtesy that I would expect as a British citizen in a foreign land.
Nigel is a little concerned about the heat, as he does burn quite easily, but hopefully you will supply all the necessary information relating to safety and security in your wonderful country.
I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Regards and UVfilters
Lord C Buster

Mr Bona

Hello lordbuster,

Just like i said in my last mail to you,tell me when you will send your emmissarry,i will want to know whom the person is,introduce him to me in your next reply and you have to give me some days interval to arrange with the company so that i will know how much dumurrage to pay them before claiming my consigment,then i will let you know how much to make it easy of claiming so that you will get prepared well.

I am waiting to hear from you,have a nice day.
Mr.Bona.

Our reply

Dear Bona
My emissary is ready and waiting. Nigel's mother has packed his bags and made him some sandwiches for the long and arduous journey.
As I previously mentioned, Nigel is quite young and doesn't get out much, but he's keen and is willing to undergo various tasks for my company.
I do hope your dumurrage isn't too painful and that it's being treated by trained medical staff.
Anyway, must dash old bean. Please let me know when you will be ready to accept Nigel?
Regards and marmite butties
Lord C Buster

Mr Bona

Hello Lordbuster,

Please i cannot understand you at all because you are sounding like you not serious and i have no time to waist please.
I am telling you about the money to pay the security firm for my consignment and you are talking about medical staff,what do yoiu mean by that please?. don't waist my time unesscessrily. The dumurruage is about $us18,000.00 and i have only us5000.00 remaining us13,000.00 which i want you to help me with after we remove the money from the security firm,i will balance you immediately apart from the percentage i will give you out my willingness.so if your emmesirry are coming,give to them the amount of us13,000.00 cash if really you are serious to assist me. thanks and waiting to hear from you.

Mr.Bona.

Our reply

Dear Bona
So you want me to give you $13,000, but you only have $5,000 left to share with me?
I gather this would see me $8,000 out of pocket if my calculations are correct.
I have therefore sent Nigel back to his desk and can see no further need to communicate with you. I will be dealing with Mr Connycoluture in the future as he has $3 million and his scam is so much more inviting than yours.
Regards and love from Nigels Mum.
Lord Buster

Mr Bona

Mr.Lordbuster,

I did not come to this country i am now to joke and you know it,then how can i ignore communication with you knowing that all i have been telling you about me and this money,you never say any serious thing relating to it.Also i cannot force anyone to assist me in this very issue,so if you agree to my request,i am willing to accept any good idea you are suggesting but if you wish to cancel our communication you better make it clear very well to me so that i will not dash all my hopes on you whereas i am being mis-led,i told you exactly what i am into now and i'm trying how i can re-locate to a better western country to invest this money,please try to understand.Thanks.

Mr.Bona.

Our reply

Dear Bona

After recently dashing Nigel's hopes of a trip to a country that he had never envisaged visiting, I find your reply rather confusing to say the least. My communications to you have always been of the utmost sincerity, although I am sorry to learn that you have found them to be farcical at the least. Having made the arrangements to send my emissary, you mocked us and would not fulfill your end of the bargain. I find this whole situation very embarrassing, to the point where questions have been asked in the house and my political status is now seriously at risk over this whole sorry affair.

Either confirm that you are willing to accept my emissary or we will end communications with you.

Regards and dummies out of the pram
Lord Cuthbert Buster

Mr Bona

Lordbuster,
When are you sending him and may i know if he's coming with the money i told you about because i initially told you that i have no time to waiste here more also,all my statements are never confusing in anyway and i have never in anyway mocked you since there's no reason for me to do that.
Let me hear from you again,thanks and have a nice day.
Mr.Boan.

Our reply

Dear Bona
When will you be ready to accept Nigel and which airport should I send him to?
Do you have an address where he can meet you and how much money should he bring with him?
Will you be supplying him with accomodation or does he need to book a hotel?
Regards
Lord C Buster

THE END

No further communication so Nigel never did get to go on his big adventure.
