Fabo

Post by paulc » Fri Sep 02, 2022 1:48 pm

Back in June I was baiting Debra, the "sister" of the school teacher who was killed in the Uvalde shooting, who's IP address surprisingly showed her to be in Nigeria. Plog had a parcel in NYC containing 4 laptops for the children and nearly £10k as a donation. The guy it was going to was clearly an ITP, so I told her customs had found the money in the parcel and would not allow onward transfer. European regulations are similar, so I said we were going to donate the laptops and money to an African charity instead.

Would you believe it
Debra wrote:I received an email yesterday from a young man with is ID attached, I gave him your email address he was sounding very emotional is story was really sad I will forward the email to you shortly, he's from Africa Nigeria and the courier said only Africa can receive the package so I just gave him your email address did he emailed you already.
Well, yes he has
Fabo wrote:Father, In June a mass shooting and bomb attack occurred at a Catholic church in the city of Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. At least 40 people were killed, my mother and my youngest sister was killed leaving me and my three siblings the Nigeria Government have failed to take responsibility for the affected family's, please help us my siblings are very hungry and scared help us.
It was an easy decision for the church charity committee to agree to switch the parcel to Fabo and deliver it to him in Lagos.

Then disaster strikes, a routine audit of the Lagos hub discovers wide spread fraud. The hub is closed and the parcel is redirected to Cotonou, Benin.

However, impressed with Plog’s 5-star customer service guarantee and the promise of his hotel and travel costs being reimbursed, the lad is happy to journey 3 hours on a bus to Cotonou and collect the parcel.

Oh no, further disaster ...
Fabo wrote:Good day to you sorry I'm replying you very late I was robbed today in Lagos on my way to the Cotonou park, I lost everything my clothes and the money in my bag I have to make an arrangement for money before traveling so please I will not be coming today.
As he lost all his money in the robbery, he pleads with Father Dougal to send him $100 so he could travel.
Dougal wrote:I've spoken to the charity committee and we all agree that after your awful ordeal, we will be happy to send you the money you need to make the journey.
This lad is just plain unlucky
Fabo wrote:Good day to you sir I have been calling the number on the moneygram receipt but I can’t get the complete 8 digits number it’s keeping some numbers on slow hold, I been trying to get the numbers for long now I don’t know what’s going on I only get 6 numbers I can’t get the remaining two and the robotics service is not really good in calling the numbers slowly and lots of hold and music, it’s really stressful.
Fabo wrote:Please it’s really difficult pronouncing the security question have been trying but keep failing questions, I can’t believe I’m pronouncing my name wrong and the robot said is wrong I don’t know how the robot want me to pronounce my name.
I don’t know what to do anymore have really tried my possible best pronouncing the words but the robot said I’m wrong this must be because of how I pronounce the words I really don’t know what to do.
Anyway he found money from somewhere and was all set to travel when ….. yes, his Grandmother died.
Fabo wrote:I will be going to my grandma's burial this week so please I can’t come to Cotonou, I will be back next week Thursday and will make arrangements thank you.
Today’s message, so fingers crossed for some fun next week
Fabo wrote:I will be traveling to Cotonou next week to retrieve the parcel, I will inform the courier I'm coming next week after informing you sir thank you.

I hear Cotonou is very nice this time of year. Perhaps he can share a ride with mr. Sunday from the 'Worst Orphanage' bait ? :D

Great work. looking forward to seeing this progress.

There are never enough lads traveling to Central African Republic. It seems like such a hospitable place.

That's already about 600 km of travel! The last bit to Cotonou should be a breeze.

You have an option to go to Ouidah to pick up the parcel yourself.

A return trip to Cotonou to collect the money before Mr Solomon's bad boys find him seems to be the only option.

Hmm. A couple ideas:

~ Car gets hit by a motorcyclist.
~ Someone breaks into the car. (Maybe Plog is now working with the police to catch the culprit / return stolen packages.)
~ Car hit a pothole too hard.

Hmm, the plot thickens

As Plog is delivering a high value parcel, Fabo needs to send a photo of himself by the collection point.
He's sent a photo of the previous hotel with the image reversed, which was obviously rejected. His next photo is from inside a building and has also been rejected.

Hi IP is showing Porto-Novo, not Cotonou.

However, due to the security concerns over his previous pictures, he's missed his delivery slot.
