Holy 419 (Part Four) or Where the Victim Sets His Lure To Get the Scammers Really Drooling

As usual, my response is in the extended entry. Here is where they make the initial pitch to get us into kidnapping territory, or at least to the point where we are sending them money to avoid having to go over there. This is where it is important to set the lure. Right now they are drooling over the prospect that an American imbecile is going to show up on their door waving a wad of cash. Next step: Ernie realizes that Africa might be dangerous, asks for reassurances, and hijinks ensue. Meanwhile, here is today's exciting episode:

Hello Ernie,
it was very good to see your email but it was weekend,so today in the banking premises i discussed with the bank manager,and showed him the email you sent for his approval he asked me if you were going come to our bank to sign the documents of release,so now after the discussion with him i told him personally to approve the release so we get clearance from the legal department,which he has agreed to do but he wants you to come to our office do you want to come how do we do it,so we get this funds out of the bank and now everything is moving on very well,so what do you suggest about coming or meeting the bank manager how do we do it this is the only thing remaining i have taken care of all other things understand we know what to do to the manager or do we have to offer him something because he thinks that it is really you that it was deposited on your behalf so what do we do to him his signature is needed but we dont have to involve him in the funds,because he know is funds for the poor,but we offer him something so he signs, ok i need your decision.

Lisa,

Thank you for getting back to me. I am not exactly sure of the proper modalities at this point in the venture. Do I need to come to where you are in Africa or will we meet here in the United States? I could come to Africa, but I will need to know which airport and will need to make some arrangements with my work, so I can take the time off (how much should I put on my requestal form? Is a week enough time?). If you are going to come here, then Oakland is the right airport. You will want to let me know when, so I can pick you up at the airport, because Oakland is a rough city with certain elements, including a viscious gang that wears black and silver, rides motorcycles, drinks copious beer and gets into fights. You don't want to mess with them. They call themselves the Black Hole, and even wear portraits of bandits on their jackets. As for the manager, while I suppose that the proper thing is to keep everything on the fair and square, up and up and so forth, we may find it more efficient for our cause of helping the poor if we simply offer him a token from the fund, or perhaps if he is impatient, I can bring some money with me if I have to go to Africa, and then can take reimbursements from the fund when it is all cleared. Please advise me as to the proper modality. Thank you for your responses.

Ernie
