MISSING OF 12 SOLDIERS THAT WAS KILLED BY THE MILITANTS,THE ARMY
CAME WITH ALL SORT OF WEAPONS INCLUDING ARMORED TANKERS SHOUTING AND
KILLING BURNING HOUSES WITHOUT ANY PITY OF GOD CREATIONS WHICH MADE
PEOPLE TO FLEE THE TOWN WITHOUT REMEMBERING CHILDREN NETHER
WIFE REMEMBERING HUSBAND NOR MOTHER,WHEN THIS HAPPEN I AND TWO OF MY
FRIENDS RAN INTO A FLYING BOAT AND MADE AWAY WITH IT TILL WE FOUND OUR
SELF IN THE NEAR BY STATE CALLED RIVERS STATE AND OUT OF
SAME FEAR OF BEING FROM ODI WE FELT WE COULD STILL BE KILLED IF KNOWN
THAT WE ARE FROM ODI WE DROP THE BOAT AND JOINED FERRY THAT TOOK
US OUT OF THE COUNTRY,WE WHERE DROP AT IVERY COST AND WHEN WE
CAME TO THE LAND TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE IT WAS A BIG PROBLEM
BECAUSE WE CAN NOT SPEAK FRENCH BUT AS GOD DOES HIS THINGS HE
MADE A WAY FOR US BY A WOMAN WORKING DOWN TO US ON HER OWN AND ASKED US
IN ENGLISH WHAT IS OUR PROBLEM AND WE TOLD HER WHERE WE CAME FROM AND
SHE SORRY FOR US AND ASKED IF WE HAVE EATING AND WE REPLIED NO SHE TOOK
US SOME WHERE AND BUY FOOD FOR US AFTER THAT SHE SAID WE HAVE TO SEE
ONE MAN THAT IS FROM OUR SIDE,WHEN WE WENT AND SAW THE MAN HE ASKED US
WHAT HE CAN DO FOR US BECAUSE HE SAID HE KNOWS ALL THAT IS GOING ON IN
ODI,WE TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD WISH TO STAY AND FIND WHAT WE CAN
BE DOING FOR LIFE BEFORE THE TROUBLE WILL GO DOWN AND WE COULD BE ABLE
TO GO BACK HOME WHICH HE SAID IS A WISE ONE.
NOW THIS MAN
WENT AND BOUGHT THREE WHEEL BARROWS FOR US AND TOOK US TO THE MARKET
WITH ONE OTHER BOY WHO HEARS AND DISCUSSES PRICES WITH CUSTOMERS BEFORE
ASKING US TO CARRY AS OUR OWN IS TO CARRY LOAD AND STOP WHERE WE
ARE ASKED TO STOP AND WE GO BACK AGAIN TO OUR MARKET STAND
WAITING FOR ANOTHER CUSTOMER,WE DID THIS SINCE YEAR 2000 TILL THIS YEAR
APRIL WHEN I DECIDE TO COME BACK HOME AND LOOK FOR MY PARENTS,I
THEN CALL ON THE MAN TO GIVE ME MY OWN MONEY THAT I WANT TO GO BACK
HOME AND SEE IF MY MOTHER IS A LIFE ,BELOVED ONE TROUBLE STARTED JUST
BECAUSE I ASKED FOR MONEY THAT I HAVE WORKED FOR AND THIS MAN SAID HE
DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY TO BALANCE ME THAT HE IS NOT THE LAND LORD
OF THE HOUSE HE KEPT US SINCE WE CAME THAT HE HAVE BEING USING THE
MONEY IN PAYING FOR THE HOUSE RENTS AND OUR FEEDINGS ,I LOOKED UP
AND DOWN TEARS ROLLED DOWN MY CHECK I CALLED GOD THAT IF HE IS MY
CREATOR THAT I WANT TO GO BACK HOME THAT I WOULD PREFER TO DIE AT
HOME THAN WHAT AM FACING AS I WAS SAYING IT SOMEBODY CAME AND TOLD THAT
MAN THAT HE SHOULD REMEMBER GOD IN ALL HIS DOING AND SETTLE THIS LITTLE
BOY AFTER HIS WORD HE ASKED ME WHAT I WANT AND I TOLD HIM THAT I WANT
TO GO BACK HOME THIS MAN SAID I SHOULD STOP CRYING AND HE TOOK ME TO
THE MARKET AND BOUGHT CLOTHES FOR ME AND GAVE ME MONEY THAT I WENT HOME
WITH.
BELOVED ONE MY STORY IS LONG BUT I HAVE TO CURT IT
SHORT,NOW I LEFT IVERY COST AND CAME BACK ON JUNE 30TH 2009 WHEN I GET
TO MY COMMUNITY OKOKUMA I WAS ONLY SEEING VERY BIG BUSH ALL
OVER AND I WENT DOWN MOST ROADS THAT WE USED TO APPLY IS NO LONGER SEEN
AND I WAS IN ANOTHER STATE OF CONFUSION WHERE DO I GO AGAIN FROM HERE
AND WHOM WILL I ASK ABOUT MY FAMILY,THEN I REMEMBERED ONE OF MY
MOTHER'S SISTER THAT WE USE TO VISIT AT YENEGUA AND I WENT THERE WHEN I
GOT THERE SHE COULD NOT RECOGNIZE ME ANY LONGER BUT WHEN I
TOLD HER SHE START TO CRY AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE MY BAG IN,STILL I WAS
NOT AT REST BECAUSE OF MY MOTHER WHEN ASKED HER ABOUT MY FAMILY SHE
SAID I SHOULD WAIT TILL I EAT AFTER EATING SHE NOW TOLD ME THAT I ONLY
HAVE A SISTER LEFT THAT OTHERS DIED BOTH MY MOTHER AND FATHER,THIS IS
WHAT MILITANTS CAUSED ME.I ASKED OF THE SISTER AND SHE TOLD ME THAT
SOMEBODY TOOK HER TO LAGOS SINCE YEAR 2006 AND I ASKED FOR HER ADDRESS
AND SHE GAVE ME WITHOUT KNOWING THAT IT WAS A WRONG ADDRESS,BELOVED I
AM NOW IN THE STREET OF LAGOS BEGGING BEFORE I WILL EAT AND HAVE NOT
SEEN MY SISTER.
I SLEEPS AT THE BUS-STOP AND EVERY NIGHT
SOME BOYS WILL COME AND BE TELLING ME TO JOIN THEM ON BAD THINGS THAT
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO ME THAT THEY WILL PROTECT ME BUT WHEN I CHECKED
AROUND ME I KEPT ON TELLING THEM THAT I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT BUT EACH
TIME IT CAME UP MY MIND SOMETHING WILL TELL ME MY SON DONT AND DONT TRY
IT OR ELSE YOU WILL DIE THAT I WILL SEE HELP OF GOD.
NOW
IT RAINED HEAVILY TWO NIGHTS A GO WHILE I WAS AT MY USUAL CONNER AT THE
BUS STOP THAT A MAN CAME AND CALLED ME THAT HE WILL COME TOMORROW
AND KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AT THIS BUS STOP,WHEN HE NOW CAME AND WAS
ASKING ME AS I WAS TELLING HIM THIS LIFE STORIES HE SAID I SHOULD WRITE
OUT ALL THIS THAT HE WILL TAKE ME TO INTERNET TO LET PEOPLE KNOW, THAT
GOD WILL USE PEOPLE TO BLESS ME.
SO BELOVED I NEED YOUR
HELP IN ANY MANNER YOU CAN EFFECT MY LIFE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT
TO TAKE TO CRIME OR GO BACK HOME AND JOIN THE MILITANTS,WHAT EVER THE
LORD LAY ON YOUR HART WILL BE WELCOMED BY ME.
I
WANT TO RENT A HOUSE AS TO LEAVE THE BUS-STOP BEFORE KNOWING WHAT NEXT
TO DO,I AM PLEADING IN THE NAME OF ALMIGHTY GOD THAT YOU SHOULD NOT
FORSAKE A DIEING SOUL AFTER READING THIS TO AVOID GOD QUESTIONING YOU
ON THE LAST DAY.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
