​[African Music Introduction]
​﻿So called 'Barrister Frank Favour' ​is a Scammer in Thailand,
​a calm and softly spoken man.
​It took considerable effort ​and the asking of pointless and irrelevant questions,
​again and again before he finally cracked,
​and it was well worth waiting for.
​[☎phone rings🔔]
​Hello.
​Ah, Favour. Good Morning my friend, how are you?
​Er, who is speaking?
​It's your friend, Pricky.
​Who?
​Pricky. You sent me...
​Hello...
​Can you hear me?
​Yes, yes. Who is speaking?
​It's Pricky.
​PRICKY.
​OK, yes, Pricky, Pricky, how are you?
​Sir, I am well and I'm glad to speak with you.
​And I want to thank you for the email ​you sent me a few hours ago.
​I didn't send you any email a, a few hours ago?
​You sent me an email 3 hours ago.
​[🤫silence🤐]
​What is the content of the email I sent to you?
​Are you telling me that ​our business together is of such little importance
​that you cannot remember the contents ​of an email you sent me 3 hours ago?
​I'm asking you, what is the content ​ of the email I sent to you?
​You said that if I came over to Thailand...
​...we could have anal intercourse.
​We could have what? We could have what?
​If I give you 50 Baht, ​I can insert my penis into your anus.
​Sorry, I didn't send you any email of such.
​Maybe you got like, you got a wrong email, it no me, sorry.
​Yes, I know it isn't.
​I am being sarcastic.
​I shouldn't have to tell you ​the contents of the email you sent me.
​If you're familiar with our business, ​you'll know what you said.
​It was only 3 hours ago, Favour.
​Wake up!
​WAKE UP!
​Sorry, I didn't send you any email of such.
​Err, err, I am very tired of your insults.
​You insulted me and you, you, you, you ​were telling me lies that you want to send the charges.
​Which I, well, I'm not in the mood to talk to you
​... because I don't think you are serious ​to, to, to, to work with me.
​If you're serious, I will know, OK. Please!
​Favour, you sent me an email 3 hours ago.
​Since you can't remember...
​I didn't send you any email of such, maybe you...
​I..
​I don't know who you have received ​the email from.
​It's not me. I didn't send you any email.
​Favour, Favour, it's from your email address.
​Barrister F 0 0 1 at yahoo.com.hk.
​It's entitled "Pricky. I wait for your urgent co-operation".
​[WOMAN SPEAKS LOUDLY ​IN SCAMMER'S BACKGROUND]
​Now, you remember?
​Oh, God.
​Do you remember now,
​"Barrister Favour, thanks for your understanding"
​"I wait for your cooperation".
​From Barrister Favour:
​"Pricky, I wait for your urgent cooperation"
​Now do you remember, Favour?
​Sorry, I didn't send you any email of such to come to Thailand.
​I didn't, I've never sent you any email ​telling you to come to Thailand.
​No, I know you haven't.
​I just...
​I was joking with you.
​I, so I, so you I think maybe ​you will, you, you, maybe someone,
​maybe somebody getting into your email ​or my email, I don't know that.
​I'm not...
​Favour, Favour...
​If it's somebody..
​Favour, Favour...
​That's getting into your email or ​getting into my email, that is what I don't know. ​If it's somebody..
​That's getting into your email or ​getting into my email, that is what I don't know.
​I didn't send you any email 3 hours ago.
​I have sent the money ​and I have got the MTCN.
​Do you want the MTCN?
​If you, if you care about giving me the MTCN, ​OK, you can go ahead.
​What is the, that is, that is, I don't,
​I don't have problem with that,
​I'm not here because of your money.
​I've sent...
​I'm not a beggar.
​Favour, I don't know what you're talking about.
​I got an email earlier, which told me
​ to send you £750 by Western Union
​and I've sent the money.
​Now do you want the MTCN or not? ​I'm in the Western Union office now.
​Can't you hear, I'm in the office.
​You sent £750?
​Yes.
​£750 is not what I, it's not what I, it's not ​what we can use to conclude the transaction...
​...so I don't know ​what you're talking about.
​What you have to send is $850...$8500.
​If you don't, if you don't send $8500, forget about it. Forget about it.
​I've sent 850...
​I'm not here because of your money.
​Favour I've sent...
​What we need is $8500, that is what we need.
​Well, the email...
​If you cannot send $8500, forget about it, OK.
​We don't have dollars in the UK, idiot.
​Dollars are in the USA. We don't have dollars here.
​What you talking about? I'm in England.
​Yes, you are in England. ​You said you sent 700, eh, err, £750.
​Is £750 equivalent to 800, 800, 8500, it's not equivalent.
​No, no, it's a first instalment.
​This is all I have at the moment.
​So, I sent you a first instalment to go and collect, ​ the money has gone.
​You sent what? How much did you send?
​750 British pounds.
​750 British pounds is not equivalent to 8500 dollars.
​Why is it that I have to repeat everything 4 times to you?
​It's a first in-stal-men-ter,
​A FIRST INSTALMENT.
​Do you understand that?
​OK, you send it, in, in instalments?
​Yes, I have to. I've sent you the first instalment.
​OK.
​So, are you ready for the MTCN, Favour?
​OK, let me have the MTCN.
​OK, this is a 10 digit...
​So when are you sending, when are you sending
​the balance, when are you sending the balance?
​I will send you a second instalment on
​Wednesday and the final instalment next weekend.
​OK, OK, OK, OK. OK.
​OK, do you have a pen and paper, my old friend?
​Let me have, let me have the MTCN.
​I need to ask you something very important.
​Go ahead.
​When you collect the final instalment and you have the full amount,
​How long will it be before I get my money?
​I think this, this will not take more than 3 working days,
​3 to 4 working days before we can conclude this transaction.
​OK
​3 to 4 working days before the transaction will be over.
​I heard a woman's voice...
​After I've received the last instalment.
​I heard a woman's voice, was that your, your wife, ​I, I woke up there?
​No, no, no, no, no, no. I, you, ​you didn't hear anybody's voice here.
​I heard a woman talking to you just now. ​Who was that my old friend?
​A woman?
​It was a woman or a, or a, or a, or a effeminate man,
​whoever you had there with you.
​I heard them talking just now.
​Who is it my old friend?
​No, I didn't talk, you didn't talk with any woman here.
​No, I heard in the background.
​You were talking. Who was it, my old friend?
​I didn't talk to any woman now.
​There has been a very long time that I spoke to, ​I spoke to my wife.
​Ah, I thought it was your boyfriend.
​She spoke to me in my language.
​She spoke to me in my language, not now.
​Oh, what did she say to you...
​She spoke to me
​My old friend?
​You said what?
​What did she say to you, my friend?
​What she said to me?
​Yes, sir.
​You don't have to know about that.
​What do you, what, what, that's my family issue, ​you don't have to know about that.
​Well I...
​That's nothing to do with you.
​I just, I just want to get to know you.
​Frank, you're not saying anything. What's happening?
​Prick, ah, ah,
​do you think you are talking to a young man?
​🐔[cockerel 🍗 crowing]🐓
​No, sir, sir, I, I, I don't think that, no.
​Are you playing with me?
​You said you want to give MTCN number now, and you,
​you think, err, you're, are you playing with me ​ or what?
​No, I'm ready to...
​I cannot understand you.
​Are you playing with me or what are you doing? ​I cannot understand you.
​Are you playing with me or what are you doing?
​Do you think I have the money to ​make a long distance call to Thailand to play?
​I'd have to be a very wealthy idiot, wouldn't I?
​Do you want mon..the MTCN my friend, I'm ready now.
​Here we go. [clears throat] Are you ready?
​Give it out to me, I'm ready.
​You forgot to say "please", Frank.
​That's very rude of you.
​You said what?
​You didn't say please. That's very rude talking ​to me like that.
​I address you with respect. ​I expect you to be polite to me.
​No, it's not that I'm not polite.
​You, you, you asked me some questions that ​I don't understand why you are asking me such.
​I, I like
​I'm polite. You know, I'm polite.
​I like...
​I don't really understand,
​maybe I don't know that is,
​maybe that is how you ah, ah, ah, uh,
​maybe that is how you, you as a London talk, ​I don't know.
​I admit I don't know, maybe that is how you, ​you, you talk in London, I don't know.
​It, it is our custom here, Frank, it's our custom.
​I don't know, I don't think I told you that I am a...
​What, what, what is time what is time in London now,
