 Lord Thundering Jesus, when will this bait end?

Anyway, we've been showing what has been happening with John Douglas, Dr. Scapoli and Big Adam, but let's not forget Big Ahmed. Even though you haven't seen anything from him in about four pages, all of this was happening concurrently.  Luckily we managed to keep our email straight, and not send anything to Adam that should have gone to Ahmed, or vice versa.

Hey Big Ahmed! >OK BOBBY,I ORGANISED SOME YOUNG BOYS FOR THE TRAINING OF THE HOCKEY AND I WILL SCAN THE PICS OF THEM TO YOU SOON... Just remember, since you don't have any equipment presently, you will need to give them brooms to hold, and some sort of helmet - if you don't have a helmet, have them wear a bowl or bucket. I'm sure this sounds strange to you, but I had a problem earlier with someone taking photos from a magazine and scanning them. This is a real deal-killer. My investors and I are extending a great deal of trust to those people who are setting up teams for us, and in return they need proof that the players exist. >PLS AWAIT IT SOON AND ALL WE NEED NOW BOBBY IS EQUIPMENT COZ THEY LACK SOME EQUIPMENTS EVEN SOME OF THEM GET INJURED IN THE TRAINING JUST BECOZ THE LACK OF GOOD EQUIPMENT, Like I told you before, we are going top-of-the-line on everything. You will have the best equipment, professional trainers, and even a team doctor. >PLS BOBBY IF YOU CAN GIVE US SOME MONEY TO START BUYING SOME EQUIPMENT IT WILL HELP US OUT IN THIS...PLS EMAIL ME ASAP SIR..AND U CALL ME {BIG AHMED} My money is already tied up in this. Once I have a picture from you, I will be able to send you $9,000 for each person in the picture, for EACH person. My investors are VERY eager to move forward on this, and they will be giving funding immediately after the picture is received. Also, let me know your thoughts about a team name. We've got one forming in Abidjan called the "Abidjan Babes", which I don't think is the greatest name, but it isn't my choice. Let me know what you come up with. Yours, Big Bobby

Pics arrive, but again no brooms or buckets.  Can these people not follow simple instructions?

BIG AHMED

Could someone please explain to me what the fascination is with the CAPSLOCK key and the 419er's?     Glory be!  A sensible team name!

Here is Big Ahmed and his assistant.  I have no idea which one is which, and it probably doesn't matter, since neither is likely to be Ahmed, assuming Ahmed even exists.

What is it with these bloody scammers that they can't follow simple (albeit stupid) instructions?  Where are the brooms?  Where are the buckets?

Ahmed makes a brief reply.

COMPLIMENT TO YOU BOBBY,I TRY AND GET ANOTHER PIC FOR YOU ABOUT THE TEAM AND HOW THEY PREPARED,SO DONT WORRY YOURSELF U JUST GET THE MONEY PREPARED FOR THEM I WILL DO MY BEAT IN GETTING THME ORGANISED...

And Big Bobby is just as brief.

Excellent! I have complete faith in you, and your efforts will 
certainly receive what they deserve.

...or at least, that's what we hope.

hello big bobby,i am try to get the pic of the team for you but there is a problem here,the problem is,i dont have money to take another pic for the team the inplement they need and the team are alo requesting for money,so bobby if you can help me with small ammount of money i will be very gratefull to that..

Now here's one of the things that bothers me about 419 scams - some of the pitches they make for money are so ludicrous that it amazes me that anyone will fall for it.

Dear Big Ahmed: I understand what you are saying, but you need to try harder. Do whatever you have to do in order to get me that picture. I am not doing well financially at the moment, thanks to several delays with the THL. My good friend (and fellow retired hockey legend) Tim Horton has lent me some money, and Marg was kind enough to share some of her pogey cheque with me, but I'm on a tight budget. Time is running out for us here. If other teams are set up before ours, then the investors won't be interested in supplying us with money. They don't want two teams in the Ivory Coast, three teams in Nigeria, and four in Ghana - it just won't work. Either we get there first and get the money, or someone else does. If you can't get the team together for a picture, just have one taken of yourself with the necessary accoutrements. That'll start the money flowing. Yours, Big Bobby OK BOBBY,THANX FOR UR SWIFT REPLY,I WILL TRY AND GET ONLY MYSELF SNAP AND THE PIC TO YU,BUT BOBBY I WANT YOU TO ASSURE ME THAT IF I SEND THE PIC WILL U SEND ME THE MONEY FOR THE ORGANISING IOF THE TEAM ?AND THE IMPLEMENT.PLS EMAIL ME BACK...

Okay, I think I'm ready for Page 11

Forget it, take me back to the main page
