Alex from Togo, maybe.
I do not know this person…
Session Start (frogstar42:alex_loukey): Wed Aug 18 15:21:58 2004
(August 18) 15:21: alex_loukey: Hello Jeff
(August 18) 15:22: alex_loukey: how are you doing ?
(August 18) 15:24: Jeff G: hi
(August 18) 15:24: Jeff G: I have a cough
(August 18) 15:25: alex_loukey: oh take heart
(August 18) 15:25: alex_loukey: you’ll be fine (August 18) 15:25: alex_loukey: have you taken cough drops or something ?
(August 18) 15:25: Jeff G: You don’t know that, stranger. I could die tomorrow. Or today.
(August 18) 15:27: alex_loukey: Well, one could die before your time if you confess and believe that
(August 18) 15:27: alex_loukey: but the reverse will be the case if you reject the illness
(August 18) 15:27: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 15:27: Jeff G: Nobody knows when their time IS of course. The cough may be irelivant, and I could get hit by a falling piece of space debris.
(August 18) 15:28: alex_loukey: come on !
(August 18) 15:29: alex_loukey: hey, you want to die ?
(August 18) 15:29: alex_loukey: I love to live !
(August 18) 15:29: alex_loukey: I advice you to love life but if you chose to die you can do me a favour of signing your will in my name
(August 18) 15:30: Jeff G: I am happy to live each day, but I am aware that it could be my last. Ignorance does not provide me comfort.
(August 18) 15:30: alex_loukey: lol
(August 18) 15:30: Jeff G: Deep chat for a first timer… unless you know me and I’ve forgotten you.
(August 18) 15:31: Jeff G: No yahoo profile for me to learn more about you.
(August 18) 15:31: alex_loukey: Well, you are speaking with a guru here
(August 18) 15:32: alex_loukey: from Lomé the capital of Togo, West Africa
(August 18) 15:32: Jeff G: I have been called a Guru a few times myself, although I could never get that position where both feet are inside each other quite right.
(August 18) 15:32: Jeff G: We know of Togo only because it’s a cool name, and the Internet domain is .TO
(August 18) 15:33: alex_loukey: I see you a kind of wizkid though (August 18) 15:33: alex_loukey: So, where are you from ?
(August 18) 15:34: Jeff G: at 40 years of age, I take credit only for the whiz.
(August 18) 15:34: alex_loukey: So, where are you from ?
(August 18) 15:35: alex_loukey: <ding>
(August 18) 15:35: Jeff G: Sorry. Toronto Canada. (August 18) 15:36: Jeff G: We use .TO domains a fair amount for our city
(August 18) 15:37: alex_loukey: I see
(August 18) 15:37: Jeff G: Did you find me from my web site?
(August 18) 15:37: alex_loukey: I would like to come to Canada but the means is far from reach (August 18) 15:38: alex_loukey: no, from a different one (August 18) 15:38: alex_loukey: and I can’t remember exactly
(August 18) 15:38: Jeff G: Yes. It is a bit far to row boat to. You’ll have to wait till we have another ice age perhaps, and our continents touch again.
(August 18) 15:38: alex_loukey: lol
(August 18) 15:39: Jeff G: So you just chatted me randomly. That is interesting. I guess it is a neat way to meet strangers.
(August 18) 15:39: Jeff G: Most people find me because my huge comedy web site.
(August 18) 15:40: alex_loukey: I think so too
(August 18) 15:40: alex_loukey: what is the site add ? (August 18) 15:41: Jeff G: (Link: http://frogstar.biz)http://frogstar.biz – lots of fun stuff.
(August 18) 15:41: alex_loukey: ok I’ll check it out now
(August 18) 15:42: Jeff G: Before death.
(August 18) 15:43: alex_loukey: you really mean to die ?
(August 18) 15:43: Jeff G: No. It was just the theme of today’s chat… so I stuck with it. Tomorrow we may talk of tomatos.
(August 18) 15:43: Jeff G: hehehe
(August 18) 15:44: alex_loukey: oh I see
(August 18) 15:45: Jeff G: It’s the only history you and I share so far. (August 18) 15:46: alex_loukey: hmmmmmmm…
(August 18) 15:46: alex_loukey: your ste is cute (August 18) 15:46: Jeff G: Thank you. What do you do for amusement?
(August 18) 15:46: alex_loukey: I guess you will create a free web for me after our discussion
(August 18) 15:46: alex_loukey: lo
l (August 18) 15:47: alex_loukey: I am a security finance company Director
(August 18) 15:48: alex_loukey: deal in safe-keeping of consignments
(August 18) 15:48: alex_loukey: but got no website yet
(August 18) 15:48: Jeff G: I’m not sure I know what consignments are.
(August 18) 15:49: alex_loukey: well it is just a terminology for important properties like gold, silver, diamond, family treasures, etc
(August 18) 15:50: Jeff G: I see. Seems like the kind of job that might one day bring you to Canada, or at least affoird a visit.
(August 18) 15:51: alex_loukey: sure, that’s the reason I said I would like to come to Canada
(August 18) 15:51: alex_loukey: but, hey, I need assistance for that
(August 18) 15:51: Jeff G: There are times when it’s nice here, and times when you’d be better off home. Cold winters, humid summers.
(August 18) 15:51: alex_loukey: It would be awesome if you could help me out, though
(August 18) 15:52: alex_loukey: it is a matter of climate and there is always something to do to blend in those times
(August 18) 15:53: alex_loukey: I even like that change
(August 18) 15:53: alex_loukey: because it’s damn hot here in Africa
(August 18) 15:53: Jeff G: Wouldn’t life be so much cooler if it worked that way. Ask people for things, and they give them. What a cool vision of the universe. Sadly, few crazy people make it to the stage of wealth, so you’re out of luck.
(August 18) 15:54: alex_loukey: what ?
(August 18) 15:54: alex_loukey: you mean you’ve got no $$$ ?
(August 18) 15:55: Jeff G: I only mean, you’ll have to try very hard to hit a random chat stranger who is insane, and rich
. (August 18) 15:57: alex_loukey: sure, the guru trait will lift me up there and far above too
(August 18) 15:57: Jeff G: They may exist… so you can spend happy moments trying. There are many many people on this earth, and I have met very few. Perhaps somewhere, there are people that would say Hi to a stranger, and then give them $4000. They may exist. I can’t imagine it being true, but that doesn’t mean you should stop looking. It’s good to have goals. Dreams… I am one man. I can’t know what I do not know.
(August 18) 15:58: alex_loukey: lol
(August 18) 15:58: alex_loukey: I am self sufficient man !
(August 18) 15:59: alex_loukey: I’ve got the $ here
(August 18) 15:59: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 15:59: Jeff G: I find it hard to believe you really expect strangers to offer you money to travel.
(August 18) 15:59: Jeff G: oh!
(August 18) 15:59: alex_loukey: just do not know how to eat the $
(August 18) 16:00: alex_loukey: my problem now is who and how to eat the $
(August 18) 16:00: Jeff G: I do not know what that means. I am sorry I misunderstood your request. What do you mean “eat the money” ?
(August 18) 16:01: alex_loukey: yeah, I mean squandering it, displaying it, showing off if you prefer that word
(August 18) 16:02: Jeff G: I don’t understand. You say you have money, so what is it you need help with to get to Canada for a visit?
(August 18) 16:02: alex_loukey: I mean that I travel here and there and will be visiting the 37th country in two days time
(August 18) 16:02: Jeff G: You need a tour guide? A friend to show you what is popular?
(August 18) 16:03: alex_loukey: I just wanted to know what stuff you are made off
(August 18) 16:03: alex_loukey: I never meant that (August 18) 16:03: alex_loukey: lol
(August 18) 16:03: Jeff G: I am sorry I was confused, new friend. As I said, a lot of strangers chat with me – and you’d be surprised how many ask for money within the first few messages.
(August 18) 16:04: Jeff G: It amazes me.
(August 18) 16:04: Jeff G: When you said you need help to get to Canada, this was not a far jump for me to assume you were begging. I am sorry I misunderstood.
(August 18) 16:04: alex_loukey: I will be leaving to spend this weekend in Malta Island in my private DSR-80 JET
(August 18) 16:05: Jeff G: Not bad a for a Guru.
(August 18) 16:05: alex_loukey: I do not just know what to do with the $ now
(August 18) 16:06: alex_loukey: when I hadn’t it, I laboured as if it would never come but now it scares me I think
(August 18) 16:06: Jeff G: Wealth can be scary. I am content.
(August 18) 16:07: Jeff G: But trust me, if you lived in America, there are a lot more things to spend it on and buy. America (and Canada) are made to lose money. (hehehe)
(August 18) 16:07: alex_loukey: Can you give me your phone number ? I will call you as soon as I arrive Malta
(August 18) 16:07: Jeff G: Why would you call me from Malta?
(August 18) 16:08: alex_loukey: Just to say HI to a stranger friend (August 18) 16:08: alex_loukey: that isn’t bad, I think
(August 18) 16:08: Jeff G: We are saying HI via chat just fine. I am more aware of you than you may think
. (August 18) 16:09: alex_loukey: No, I just want to say hi on phone and chat via that (August 18) 16:09: alex_loukey: It’s my $ not call-collect
(August 18) 16:09: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 16:10: Jeff G: Are you done with me now then?
(August 18) 16:10: alex_loukey: Well, I do not understand that. You want to leave ?
(August 18) 16:10: Jeff G: I don’t usually chat on the phone much. I’m not very social that way. I have only cellular, and it costs me per minute. I like the Internet more.
(August 18) 16:11: alex_loukey: No, I will be calling you (August 18) 16:11: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 16:11: Jeff G: I understand that, but my cellular is a per minute rate. I do not use the phone much.
(August 18) 16:12: Jeff G: You were wise not to mention Nigeria by the way. Togo has a much friendlier name.
(August 18) 16:12: alex_loukey: you mean ?
(August 18) 16:13: Jeff G: Nevermind… Is your name Alex? I am Jeff by the way.
(August 18) 16:13: alex_loukey: you just called me
(August 18) 16:13: alex_loukey: lol (August 18) 16:14: alex_loukey: Well, you could be my sales agent in Canada and earn much $
(August 18) 16:14: Jeff G: Is the Malta trip a vacation, or part of your work duties?
(August 18) 16:14: alex_loukey: do you care ?
(August 18) 16:14: alex_loukey: Just going to Malta for FUNNNNNNNNNNNN
(August 18) 16:15: Jeff G: Good. Fun is nice. It’s probably less hot than Africa. Tell me of this sales offer.
(August 18) 16:17: alex_loukey: Yeah, I can be shipping unrefined Gold and Diamonds to you for sales because it fetches much more $ over there in Europe
(August 18) 16:17: alex_loukey: how do you see that ?
(August 18) 16:18: Jeff G: I thought Canadian Diamonds were among the most prized.
(August 18) 16:18: Jeff G: I don’t think I’d make a good Diamond salesman. I have no clue how to get into that field. I doubt I;’d be a good choice,, but I thank you for the rich offer.
(August 18) 16:19: alex_loukey: it doesn’t matter
(August 18) 16:19: alex_loukey: I just want you to sell and make some good $ for yourself (August 18) 16:19: alex_loukey: I’ll give you your commision (August 18) 16:19: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 16:20: Jeff G: I think you are mistaken. I’d need to be an expert to sell diamonds. I don’t know the first thing about it… and you don’t know me. Am I supposed to believe you’re going to send me gems to sell? That is a little hard to believe.
(August 18) 16:21: alex_loukey: I will give you the details on how to go about it
(August 18) 16:21: Jeff G: Cool.
(August 18) 16:21: alex_loukey: and I will not just send it like that
(August 18) 16:22: alex_loukey: I will need your proper identification
(August 18) 16:22: alex_loukey: then we will be on
(August 18) 16:22: Jeff G: Of course,
(August 18) 16:23: alex_loukey: I know that you and me will make good $ by this
(August 18) 16:24: alex_loukey: because though I’ve got the $ here, it can’t be as when I sale outside Africa
(August 18) 16:24: Jeff G: And then you’ll be more afraid to get rich, so maybe you should just let me keep it all. I know how money scares you. (heheh – that was a joke)
(August 18) 16:25: alex_loukey: No problem though, I could buy up Canadian government assets for privatisation
(August 18) 16:26: Jeff G: A lot of people seem to prefer Canada to the USA for that sort of thing.
(August 18) 16:26: alex_loukey: really ? (August 18) 16:26: alex_loukey: For me, I think it is a matter of fame
(August 18) 16:27: Jeff G: Our Government is much more oipen to foreign investment. Half of everything here is owned by outsiders.
(August 18) 16:27: alex_loukey: there you are ! (August 18) 16:28: alex_loukey: My dream is in the process of being materialized
(August 18) 16:28: Jeff G: Cool how just a random chat can change your life. I am excited.
(August 18) 16:29: alex_loukey: Not really, I just want to brighten your future as you make much $ from gold sales
(August 18) 16:29: Jeff G: I am perfect for this. I am already self employed and have a lot of free time.
(August 18) 16:30: alex_loukey: You are swimming in my ocean now (August 18) 16:30: alex_loukey: Do you still want to die ?
(August 18) 16:30: Jeff G: hehehe. Neat expression Mr. Guru.
(August 18) 16:30: alex_loukey: or do we postpone the death topic to tomorrow ?
(August 18) 16:31: Jeff G: I never wanted to die… are we not beyond that? I just like to start conversations with random chatters, and that seemed like a good direction. Who knew you’d be offering to work with me by the end.
(August 18) 16:32: alex_loukey: Sorry, I just got a call from my wife in London
(August 18) 16:32: alex_loukey: I g2g because we would speak for about 2 hrs
(August 18) 16:32: Jeff G: I have one last question
(August 18) 16:32: alex_loukey: herself and my sons
(August 18) 16:32: alex_loukey: alright
(August 18) 16:32: alex_loukey: ask
(August 18) 16:33: alex_loukey: <ding>
(August 18) 16:33: Jeff G: DO you really think people are gullable enough to believe this? I mean come on… we all know the Nigerian scammers and African scams. I can’t believe you wasted more than a full hour trying to get money out of me. It amzes me. But I thank you for the entertainment, and I’ll be adding this to my web site as humour.
(August 18) 16:33: Jeff G: bye friend.
(August 18) 16:34: alex_loukey: oh you are wrong
(August 18) 16:34: alex_loukey: I never asked you for a dime
(August 18) 16:35: Jeff G: You will.
(August 18) 16:35: alex_loukey: and if I may ask, what story will you be telling about this discussion?
(August 18) 16:36: alex_loukey: I just wanted to help a stranger friend
(August 18) 16:36: alex_loukey: and I am not sad that you rejected the offer and preferred dying
(August 18) 16:36: Jeff G: Ok. Then I am really sorry I wasted an hour of your time. I wish I’d hadf the chance to get to know more before I got suspicious
(August 18) 16:37: alex_loukey: I could get you treated of your persistent cough
(August 18) 16:37: Jeff G: or before you had to go.
(August 18) 16:37: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 16:37: Jeff G: It just seemed fishy.
(August 18) 16:37: Jeff G: Life doesn’t work that way.
(August 18) 16:37: Jeff G: People don’t give stranters gold sales jobs and offer them cash.
(August 18) 16:37: Jeff G: Not in Canada, not in Africa.
(August 18) 16:37: Jeff G: Unless I don’t understand life like I thought I did.
(August 18) 16:37: alex_loukey: I said you will need to identify yourself first (August 18) 16:38: alex_loukey: did you read that ?
(August 18) 16:38: Jeff G: Yes.
(August 18) 16:38: Jeff G: I am who I say I am..
. (August 18) 16:38: Jeff G: What can you offer me of proof that such a job exists, and is possible for somebody with no experience
(August 18) 16:39: alex_loukey: sure !
(August 18) 16:39: alex_loukey: I would have explained all if I had time
(August 18) 16:39: alex_loukey: anyway I’ll give you a number to call me when I arrive Malta
(August 18) 16:39: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 16:39: Jeff G: Then I guess it is a loss for both of us. My suspcions have destroyed my chances.
(August 18) 16:40: Jeff G: Go speak with your wife. If we meet up online again, we can start over. I am sorry I called you a crook.
(August 18) 16:40: alex_loukey: no, I could help another person. You only jeopardized your only chance of being helped
(August 18) 16:40: Jeff G: You must understand it sounds like one of those “too good to be true” deals, and since birth, we’re taught they’re all “too good to be true”.
(August 18) 16:40: alex_loukey: no I did not mean to say that you are a fool
(August 18) 16:41: alex_loukey: ok
(August 18) 16:41: Jeff G: ok. I do not feel a fool.
(August 18) 16:42: alex_loukey: ok take care
