Hello, Am ok with all you have said she will buy all necessary
book
and materials to be purchased for the training so i want you to take her for four weeks so have forward the information to my financier in united state to send you a check of $5000 so you will deduct 4 weeks charges out of the money Concerning the cab so as have told you earlier that have arrange for the cab driver that will be driving me to work and also be taking her to your location every tutor day. So you will deduct your charges and send the remaining funds to the cab driver via western union money transfer which i will provide you the information to send it to when you receive the check because the cab driver said he will not agree in working with me by driving my me and my daughter without receiving any deposit from me before we arrived to the state so you will have to do that for me as a help, We will arrived to the state on Sept 6th.....................thanks God bless you |

Thanks for your swift respond so let solve the issue of my son before
the lesson will start because i dont want to live my son in pain, So i
want you to help me get the morning sent to the doctor information
first thing on tueday morning.
So you will have to take cash to any western union outlet near you and
get the money sent to the Doctor information given to you.
So as soon as you get the money sent just get back to me with western
union detail for comfirmation..............
co-operation may the lord bless you
[I googled Bamidele Odusina - guess what? He's on Facebook! From Lagos Nigeria! Should I send a friend request? I think not! So I wonder if Bamidele Odusina is the scammer or just some poor guy whose name he picked up? Or maybe Bamidele is an accomplice who allows the scammer to use his address so he can get money from incredibly stupid, gullible, "rich" Americans? Speaking of stupid, these scammer types don't affect me as being particularly smart. For instance. it never ceases to amaze me how people from the UK have such poor English skills. "i don't want to live my son in pain..." Yeah buddy - you talk and write just like an English Doctor who has a contract with the US Environmental Protection Agency. Now this whole episode with the son in Africa reeks of desperation. You'd think a Nigerian surgeon who extorts money from poor hapless doctors in England would use a PO box or something like it rather than broadcasting his address to the whole world, right? I mean, it just stands to reason. He can't wait 'till Tuesday for thousands of dollars, so he concocts this story so he can get $800.00 now. I'm sure that 800 US dollars is a LOT of money in Nigeria. Probably would set up Bamidele for, like, a whole year! My gut is telling me Bamidele is our scammer. But...who cares? Not me.]

Michael,
I haven't heard from your daughter. Weren't both of you to arrive in the states on Sept 6th? How's that job with the Environmental Protection Agency working out? Unfortunately, the bill for my car repair wiped me out until I get paid by my students for next month so I don't have $800.00 to send you for your son. Hope everything works out for him. I will be out of town all next week so perhaps your daughter could start her lessons on Monday the 21st. Jay |

Seems like everything happens on Friday, Michael. I just now got home and
opened your email. Your check is sitting on my desk at my teaching studio in
Kansas and I am at home in Missouri packing for my trip to Dallas. I am leaving
at 4am tomorrow morning - long before the banks open - and will be gone all next
week. I will return home about 3am on Sunday the 20th. You and your daughter
should be in the states by then. We are scheduled to begin your daughter's
tutoring on Monday the 21st. I can cash the check Monday morning Sept 21st,
deduct my fee and just give the difference to you or your daughter at that time
in person. I don't know what to do concerning your son. I'll pray for him, as
well as your entire family at this stressful time.

[I'm planning on going for as long as Michael/Bamidele/whoever is willing to go. I'm wondering just how long he'll stick with it, and what new ridiculous stories he'll come up with. However, this whole thing just took an unexpected twist. A couple of days ago, I put up another ad on craigslist. Guess what? I got an email from Dr Michael Scott in the UK soliciting guitar lessons for his daughter! I'm going to respond to it just like I did in this thread. As a matter of fact, I'll just copy-and-paste my responses from this thread. I wonder how long it will take him to realize he's trying to scam the same guy twice - he's even trying to scam the same guy before the first scam has played itself out! So to avoid confusion and to keep the two threads separate go here to view the other thread.]

Dude! Settle down. I've just been real busy. As you know, I was out of town
all last week. I just got back on Sunday. I found out yesterday I've got to go
to Vancouver in December. I've spent all day today running around trying to get
passport issues settled. Your check is on my desk at my teaching studio. I'll
get to it. Where's your daughter? I thought she was supposed to be here by now.
I'll just give her the money when I see her.

I don't have a mobile phone. My studio phone is (913) 541-1863. However I am on
a phone modem so whenever I am online it ties up the phone line. That would
explain the busy signal.
Secondly, I am very confused. On Sept 5th you told me you needed $800 to pay the
doctor for your son John in Africa. Then on Sept 11th you said the doctor needed
$2000. Then on Sept 17th you said you needed $500. Now you want me to send
$1000. What's up with that?
Thirdly, last I heard, we were to begin your daughter's tutoring on Sept 21st.
It is now the 24th and I haven't heard from her. I hope everything's alright and
nothing bad has happened.
I don't want to sound callous, Michael, and I wish the best for your son, but
John's problem in Africa is not really my problem. I'm reticent to involve
myself in the domestic issues of another man's family. That's frowned on in
American culture. My problem is keeping my teaching schedule full and paying my
bills and feeding my family. So...I'm waiting to hear from Mary. Assuming I hear
from her then I will just give her the money and you can do whatever you need to
do with it.
I'm very much looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi Michael,
You misunderstood me. I didn't use your money to repair my car. I haven't done
anything with your money. Your check is still sitting on my desk. I have not
cashed it.
I would be happy to pick you up at the airport on Sunday, just email me your
flight details.
As for sending the doctor the money on Friday, I just now opened up your email.
As you can see it is 2:30 on Friday afternoon. I am already teaching and will
have no opportunity to cash your check and send the money until Monday. I have a
performance tonight until 2am and then 2 performances tomorrow. So I will see
you Sunday at the airport and will cash your check Monday morning and just give
you the money at Elisabeth's first lesson on Monday. Ok?

Re: URGENTLY ACTION NEEDED SO GET THIS DONE TODAY
Here's an idea. Since I haven't done anything with your check I will just
tear it up and throw it away. Now you have the money! You can send what you need
to send to the doctor in Africa and purchase whatever you need to to get to the
states. It solves everything! You can just pay me my fee when you arrive. I will
pick you up at the airport and take you to a hotel within walking distance of my
teaching studio. It's perfect! I can't think of any reason why this would not be
acceptable to you. You instantly have your money and are not dependent on me to
pay the doctor in Africa. I think this is a very good solution to our problems!
Ok?

Re: URGENTLY ACTION NEEDED SO GET THIS DONE TODAY
He's YOUR financier, right? That means he should do what you say. I tear up your check, and he has the money. Your money, right? Then he pays the doctor in Africa, sends you money to get to US, and pays me my fee, and only my fee. Problem solved. He's YOUR financier, Michael. He does what YOU say, that's his job. That's what you pay him for, right?
[Well, it's been 2 days and I haven't heard from Michael/Bamidele/whoever. I
