A scammer presented Captain Mal with a chance to claim the estate of a Dead Bank Customer...
The diseased who owns the estate funds is called Mr. Fred Mugu, from Siarrlone, who based in Ghana and he is a business man who invest in Gold business.
After some discussion it was time to contact the lawyer, one Christopher Archer, whose reply to my first email included this:
You wish to hire my services in claim with the fixed deposit fund which was opened by your late relative you have to pay a fee of $2, 850 only for the claim of affivit document and change of name of document
I will help you to obtain the claim of affidavit and change of name of ownership certificate here in Ghana by the court after receiving the fee $2,850 from you.
Get back to me to me let us proceed to the next step which is mode of payment to me and to proceed to the court after the payment.

(There was just one problem...)
Isn't there something else needing to be done before I pay you?
(Seems not!)
There is nothing that needed to be done after I receive the fee I will get the necessary documents in your favor at the court.
You are to send the fee to me $2, 850 via western union or money gram to my secretary details below.
FIRST NAME: OTI
LAST NAME: WIREDU
SENDING COUNTRY : ACCRA GHANA
Make the payment and send the receipt to me with the ten digit number as soon it is picked up I will proceed with your request.

(Mal begs to differ.)
You don't know anything about my NOK, for one thing. You don't have my details, for another. Those are some major requirements as far as I'm concerned, and you can't go ahead without them.
(Without turning a hair, Archer asks for the details, and Mal supplies them; time to move on...)

I wait to hear back from you thank you and God bless you.
(Not so fast, Bubba-Louie!)
Payment is conditional on receipt of the appropriate invoice and details of your chambers account.
Thank you for your respond and why will payment be conditional on receipt of the appropriate invoice and details of my chamber account? I have already told you to send the fee $2,850 to me via money gram or western union which I already send you my secretary details. Please there is no conditions in sending me the fee this is the rule of law in Ghana I believe madam must have explain every thing to you regarding such transaction . The law says you cannot give me your conditions rather you follow my instructions and let me conclude my service and les I forget you will pay me for my service I am rendering to you people.
(That didn't surprise me - time for Mal to lay down the law.)
I don't give a hairy rat's ass about law in Ghana, not that this has anything to do with any gorram law. It's to do with the way that business is done worldwide. Lawyers, tradesmen, professionals of all sorts give invoices and get paid to bank accounts, and that includes you. Now do as I say.
Why won't you give a hairy rats ass about the law in Ghana? Mind you all nations have their law governing them including Australia where you live. In Ghana this have so much thing to do with the gorram law which I must be very careful to obey the laws as well. May be in Australia It is the right way business surposed to be done and not world wide I don't give out my account number because of such amount you want to send to me and secondly bank to bank transfer will take at least 4 to 5 days to reflect and this transaction must be concluded withing 3 days of process. I am a professional and I have been in this service for a long time with good experience and perfect jobs. I don't give invoice and my laws says so and the law governing my country I cannot break the law or add to the law you are not the first from Australia I am dealing with more over Madam surposed to have told you all this before you contacted me. Western union or money gram is the best way I prefer you send the fee to me if you want me to proceed the process of the claim of affidavit sending it via money gram or western union will enable me to receive it on time and conclude this your claim of affidavit. Madam must have explain all this to you I told her that I will not reply any of your messages any longer because I cannot do what you say rather you work with my instruction because I am the one taking the time risk and penalties to help Madam and you. You are 51 years old why are you still insulting some one as an ass hole? The Bible says we should not use volger words on any one no matter our differences. Madam pleaded with me already kindly send the fee via western or money gram to my secretary details I gave to you. I am the one presenting you here in Ghana who is helping you to claim as the next of Kin to inherit the funds with the bank.
(Damn, it was all going so well... 
)
)"I don't give out my account number because of such amount you want to send to me" - that makes no sense.
"bank to bank transfer will take at least 4 to 5 days to reflect and this transaction must be concluded withing 3 days of process" - there are no time constraints on this matter, so don't pretend that there are any.
"I don't give invoice and my laws says so and the law governing my country I cannot break the law or add to the law" - you are lying to me - unless you can show me where in the criminal code of Ghana it says that invoices are illegal, I won't believe you.
"you work with my instruction because I am the one taking the time risk and penalties to help Madam and you" - the customer is always right. You seem to have forgotten that. And what risk and penalties are you talking about?
"I will not reply any of your messages any longer because I cannot do what you say" - if that's indeed the case, you're fired.
Your move, Bubba-Louie.
