419er going on a little trip

[Bigox911]

A guy contacted us through our business website with a classic 419 scam. I've been talking to him for close to a month now and he's finally about to go on a little trip to get his money. I'm not sure exactly how far it is but he's traveling from Lagos, Nigeria to Accra, Ghana tomorrow. This is from the latest email he's sent me...

DEAR SIR,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ACTIONS FOR THE US$2,500.
GOING TO GHANA IS VERY GOOD BUT IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST EIGHT TO TEN HOURS DRIVE ON THE ROAD FROM NIGERIA TO GHANA.

YOU CAN ASK YOUR SON WHO IS ALREADY IN GHANA TO MAKE ENQUIRES ABOUT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN NIGERIA AND GHANA, HE WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING I AM TELLING YOU NOW.

THE APPOINTMENT TO MEET WITH YOUR SON IS THURSDAY MORNING AT THE LOBBY OF NOVOTEL HOTEL WHILE THE JUNIOR ATTORNEY ******WILL EMBARK ON THE TRIP TO GHANA TOMORROW THURSDAY MORNING TO ARRIVE GHANA AROUND 6 TO 7PM IN THE EVENING.

Supposedly he's meeting my son who is over there doing work with oxfam. My son has reserved a nice room for him also so he won't have to go back tomorrow night in the dark...sucks for him.

[Bigox911]

Yeah...you're missing the emails I sent him prior. He's thanking me for sending the money to my son. He just sent me another email describing the man that will be coming...

DEAR SIR,

PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME THE NAME OF YOUR SON, HIS PHONE NUMBER, HIS HOTEL ROOM NUMBER AND THE TELEPHONE NUMBER OF THE HOTEL SO THAT THE JUNIOR ATTORNEY WILL CONTACT HIM ON ARRIVAL.

ALSO INFORM YOUR SON THAT MR ***** WILL BE COMING TO GHANA FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE MONEY.

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

[dsuave624]

it would be sweet justice if this guy goes out there...god job Ox...lol

Have him send a pic of himself,insisting you will only deal with him.
He might have cohorts in Ghana and thus might not go through any trouble.
