This scammer doesn't suffer fools gladly but neither do I. He is curt. Apparently he has enough business so that he doesn't have to communicate at length with his victims.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I
can take on the young boy, unfortunately there is no good place for the girl here. May I be of assistance? How old is he? I don't need the money, we could donate it to an orphanage if you like. Good luck and God bless, Harry Pederast PS... Do you have any pictures of the youth? |

08:06:07 -0700 (PDT) From: ADOPTION AGENCY <governmentkids@yahoo.com> Maybe neither the scammer nor his accomplice lives there. It's on the southern edge of town near the tracks. Maybe he rents this trailer lot and uses it as a sacrificial address -- something he has no real connection to - except to use it on his fake ID, so that he can use it to claim his ill-gotten Western Union booty.
In a later email this address was
given: |

I saw the boy, but the first pictures did
not come through, like this unfortunately... please try again. As you see, the pics did not come through OK. SO WOULD YOU PLEASE SEND THOSE AGAIN?

He was in a hurry. The files named Randall don't have a file extension (they are jpeg files). The other files are named Winston, not Randall. I'll act dumb -- to see what will happen, in email, I'll call the boy Kendall, not Randall. |

Dear Mr. Martins, I just got off the phone with Rev. Schleimhaut **. He's quite youg, fresh out of seminary school, but he's a sweetheart. And he says knows about adoptions because he done some work in that field last year at his previous seminary where he was involved in the convent. He says I should come over and he will help me fill out some state adoption paper application formalities for Kendall which must be done. But I can't find a driver today as my secretary is off to a baptism and a funneral * this afternoon. My housekeeper is all excited as she will be getting Kendall's room cleaned and made ready. Can Kendall write? I know he's deaf, but could you please ask him to send me an e-mail? (please don not forget those pictures I asked you about (!), you know the ones I showed you did not come through). I am so exited, I can't tell you. By the Way the mony is not a problem whatsoever, so when we are all ready I will send wire it to you as soon as possible. Speaking of money, the 6.5 million USD you promised does not need to go to me. We can give must of it to our school, or to some other good Christian organization or develop a scholarship fund. Perhaos we could make a small anal stipend for little Kendall, to be paid monthly to me, so that he won't feel himself to be a drag financially, or a burden. I'd say that 1000 pounds would be in the bllpark say 12,000 pounds anally, what do you say? My heart aches for little Randall I can not tell you. What all he has had to endure and suffer! What grade is he in? Does he have a girlfriend? Perhaps it's better if he and I establish some comunication first, rapport, as they say, yes? Would you be so kind as to facsilitate this by giving him my email address? Which hospital in the UK is our little Randall? May I call him there? If Randall is deaf, can he sign? ASL also? We use that here a lot. Does he wear a herring aid? That's all for now, I have things to do today! I may close my office early. As before, please don't worry that the funds will be a problem, definitely not, as this amount is a pittance considering all the paperwok and what things like this normally cost, a pretty penny; thank God that things is so much cheaper in the UK. When the time comes, I will instruct my secretary or one of my maids to wire you the money via Western Union. I wish things were as eazy in the good old USA as they are in the Land of the Free. I pay for you and for our success and I remain prayerfully yours, Harry K. Pederast * May God bless you.

Dear Mr. Martins, Top of the day to you, sir. I am sorry, but i'm so exited about the prospect. I made arrangements to get little Kendall's room ready. It would mean a lot to me if you would forward him this picture. it's not much, but it will be nice and claen. And steilised and re-painted with Lysol, too. Waht is Kendalls favorite colour? Please let me know! It was the dogs' room in the basement but old Mr. Tippie, they call him MR. TIibbs, died last winter and then we had the flood in March -- salt water but I'm putting in new carpets over and with the Lysol treatment. It will be beautiful and smell just fine I garantee it for sure. please explain thoroughly to Kendall ok. The picture you see is one of the two housekeepers on this old estate, Mrs. Hua Ling she lives adjacent with her husband the gardener in the basement, expecting child, a playmate for our little Kendall pray tell? I'm hoping to hear from you soon. I've been up all night cant sleep with all the exitement. Rev. Schleimhout came over tonight and left a bunch of adoption papers with me in a folder but he had to go and said he will return to help me. Please contact me at your possible most earliest convenience and let me know of our progress in this matter. Have you considered my proposal about the money. Your is Christ, Harry K.

seem to be very lazy in reply. Do you know of another adoption agency

Listen, my friend... On the Western
Union receipt (receipt, *not* reciept : ) it says that the money
transfer is null and void after 07-31-2008. What kind of adoption
agency are you, that can't answer questions, can't transmit the
pictures properly and can't understand English and reply to email
properly and courteously? If after this expiration date there is still
no action from you, only more stonewalling, I shall go elsewhere. last
week I asked you about the adoption of the 12 other children and you
still didn't send photographs. Now, I'm mostly interested in the boy,
as you know -- but like I told you before, I will take the young
female waif also, that's why I sent the full $1000.00 USD -- for the
two little ones. So, if you can't get your ass in gear and have the
Jamie boy in the trailer court Illinois pick up the cash then tell me
now, instead of dragging this on until the cows come home, OK? It would be a good idea now for you to send me your company ID and passport, so that I may be assured that I am dealing with a reputable company. I'm of a mind to cancel this transaction as it is. I hope you can read English, because I'm *NOT* going to tell you again. I pray and pray, and nothing happens. I pray for a successful conclusion, H. Pederast |

The number is *not* 10, dodo. But
never mind, my fine feathered young friend, I figured it out. I'm so
stupid, but you are even stupider. It's the MTCN number that you
want, not the mitch number! Why keep calling it mitch in your emails?
My friend, I know what I need to do now. I will go to the office tomorrow and scan that paper for sure as you requested - no scanner here. OK. Can you wait until then? Then I will send it to you, now that I know what it is. One more very important thing thing - NB: Like I wrote you earlier, It would NOW be a good idea for you to send me your company ID and passport, so that I may be assured that I am dealing with a reputable company. You will not hear from me again until I have your documents, capiche? As a famous American once said: I cant male it nay more clearly than that. |

out! I'm so stupid, but you are even stupider. It's the MTCN number
that you want, not the mitch number! Why keep calling it mitch in
your emails? My friend, I know what I need to do now. I will go to the office tomorrow and scan that paper for sure, as you requested - I have no scanner here. OK. Can you wait until then? Then I will send it to you, now that I know what it is. One more very important thing thing - NB: As I explained earlier, It would NOW be a good idea for you to scan and send me your company ID and passport, and driver's license, so that I may be assured that I am dealing with a adoption agency. You will not hear from me again until I have your documents, capiche? If you will scan then I will scan also. As a famous American once said: "I cant make it any more clearly than that."

I sent a purposely ambiguous
email to test email to governmentkids@yahoo.com,
using another email account. Who knows,
these guys may be running disparate kinds of scams. If governmentkids@yahoo is "still up" what reply will I receive, if any?
hi... i am interested in this, can
you tell me more please? What are the costs and how long will it take? |

It took several rounds of email
exchange between Yahoo! and me to get to this point. Yahoo
corresponds only with standard cut-and-paste boilerplates. In
this case, the initial smoking-gun email that explains the scammer's
plan came from moreorless@blastwebmail.com (a.k.a. deafkids_2008@outgun.com)
-- so apparently Yahoo did not have enough information to be sure that
these people are real criminals [sic].
Their messages were always curt, probably because they don't know English well. The Yahoo! standard boilerplate reply has been modified just a bit. I don't know if someone there actually typed in "and based upon similar reports" or if Yahoo! has a boilerplate response for this situation, too. Here it is:

After this, I scammed him again,
using another email address. The results were much the same, but
the payee address was given as
