Hello Mr. A Rhodes, May 2 
I'm interested to hear about your business proposal. As you probably know, I specialize in deep 
sea salvage - my career as a traveling underwater welding professor has taken me around the 
world and made me contacts such as yourself. 
I'm enclosing my LinkedIn profile for you to consider. 
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/ricardo-cunningham/96/61b/717 
Please send me a picture of yourself so I know for sure who I'm dealing 
with. I'm enclosing one of myself. 
Regards, 
Ricardo

It 
is 
of 
great 
pleasure 
I 
write 
you 
this 
message, 
following 
my 
previous 
introducAon. 
First 
I 
must 
thank 
you 
for 
your 
response 
to 
my 
email 
about 
the 
proposal, 
this 
shows 
your 
interest 
and 
I 
appreciate 
that. 
As 
you 
already 
know, 
my 
name 
is 
Amy 
Rhodes, 
feel 
free 
to 
call 
me 
Amy, 
currently 
based 
in 
Camp 
Red 
Cloud, 
in 
the 
City 
of 
Uijeongbu 
near 
the 
Korean 
Demilitarized 
Zone 
(DMZ), 
South 
Korea. 
Now 
about 
the 
proposal, 
in 
the 
past 
years, 
there 
was 
severe 
rains 
that 
caused 
deadly 
flooding 
and 
damage 
to 
South 
Korea, 
some 
wealthy 
people, 
including 
poliAcians 
were 
killed 
and 
their 
houses 
and 
companies 
were 
destroyed 
as 
a 
result 
of 
the 
severe 
flood. 
Majority 
of 
them 
lost 
their 
enAre 
family 
as 
a 
result 
of 
this. 
Billions 
of 
dollars 
were 
realized 
by 
the 
Government 
in 
their 
business 
structures, 
houses 
that 
was 
destroyed, 
but 
mostly 
companies. 
During 
a 
rouAne 
patrol 
by 
my 
unit 
someAme 
ago, 
I 
discovered 
a 
safe 
buried 
in 
a 
destroyed 
building. 
My 
team 
was 
not 
aware 
of 
this, 
as 
I 
kept 
it 
secret, 
All 
I 
had 
Ame 
to 
personally 
inspect 
the 
safe 
and 
found 
out
it 
contained 
the 
sum 
of 
$8,600,000 
(Eight 
Million 
Six 
Hundred 
Thousand 
United 
States 
Dollars). 
This 
poliAcians 
understood 
the 
laws 
against 
such 
amount 
of 
money 
and 
currency 
in 
the 
country, 
so 
I 
believed 
they 
buried 
it 
and 
secretly 
used 
it 
for 
their 
poliAcal 
mischief. 
At 
the 
moment, 
I 
have 
these 
funds 
privately 
secured 
and 
safe, 
without 
the 
awareness 
of 
anyone. 
But 
I 
cannot 
conAnue 
to 
hold 
it 
back 
here 
for 
long, 
because 
if 
anyone 
finds 
out, 
I 
will 
lose 
it 
all 
and 
will 
result 
to 
an 
immediate 
dishonorable 
discharge 
of 
duty. 
So 
I 
want 
to 
partner 
with 
you 
and 
ship 
the 
money 
in 
trunk 
boxes 
to 
a 
secure 
locaAon 
you 
will 
provide 
outside 
this 
country. 
I 
need 
your 
help 
to 
handle 
these 
funds. 
I 
have 
a 
very 
good, 
trusted 
and 
reliable 
shipping 
company 
contact, 
used 
mostly 
by 
forces 
in 
Japan, 
that 
can 
send 
goods 
easily 
through 
diplomaAc 
and 
private 
military 
way, 
to 
anywhere 
in 
the 
world, 
without 
them 
being 
checked 
at 
any 
port 
of 
entry. 
So 
during 
shipment, 
I 
will 
travel 
from 
Uijeongbu 
to 
Japan 
to 
make 
the 
delivery. 
I 
can 
make 
arrangement 
to 
deliver 
the 
money 
to 
any 
address 
of 
your 
choice. 
The 
baggage 
will 
be 
tagged 
diplomaAc 
documents, 
and 
the 
shipping 
company, 
will 
not 
know 
the 
contents 
of 
the 
boxes. 
Some 
civilians 
here 
and 
local 
soldiers 
have 
used 
this 
means 
without 
being 
checked 
because 
of 
the 
diplomaAc 
immunity 
they 
enjoy. 
Their 
charges 
are 
very 
high, 
I 
will 
negoAate 
a 
way 
out 
from 
this 
end, 
All 
it 
gets 
to 
your 
door 
step 
and 
I 
will 
follow 
up 
immediately 
and 
meet 
with 
you 
for 
disbursement 
a^er 
you 
have 
received 
it. 
Most 
importantly 
I 
do 
not 
want 
this 
money 
to 
go 
through 
banks 
around 
here, 
it 
will 
not 
be 
safe 
for 
us. 
I 
am 
sure 
you 
will 
know 
the 
best 
way 
to 
handle 
this 
funds 
for 
us 
when 
it 
gets 
to 
you. 
Please 
let 
me 
have 
an 
address 
where 
you 
want 
them 
to 
deliver 
the 
boxes. 
As 
soon 
as 
I 
get 
it, 
I 
will 
start 
making 
arrangements 
to 
ship 
at 
once. 
If 
we 
are 
lucky 
and 
fast 
enough, 
we 
can 
conclude 
this 
within 
the 
next 
one 
week. 
I 
will 
send 
the 
whole 
amount, 
since 
I 
cannot 
keep 
cash 
on 
me. 
But 
can 
I 
trust 
you? 
As 
I 
already 
informed 
you 
that, 
the 
proposal 
is 
of 
mutual 
benefit, 
once 
the 
funds 
get 
to 
you, 
you 
take 
40% 
and 
keep 
my 
60%, 
I 
believe 
this 
is 
fair 
enough. 
Your 
role 
here 
is 
to 
find 
a 
safe 
place 
where 
the 
funds 
can 
be 
sent 
to 
and 
mine 
is 
sending 
it 
to 
you. 
What 
do 
you 
do 
for 
a 
living? 
Are 
you 
married 
with 
kids? 
Can 
you 
handle 
these 
funds? 
We 
need 
to 
build 
trust!! 
I 
want 
you 
to 
know 
that, 
the 
knowledge 
of 
funds 
leaving 
the 
province 
of 
Uijeongbu 
and 
Japan 
to 
your 
country, 
is 
just 
between 
the 
two 
of 
us, 
so 
try 
and 
keep 
this 
private. 
If 
you 
are 
not 
capable 
of 
handling 
this 
huge 
sum, 
DO 
NOT 
allow 
me 
ship. 
I 
can 
find 
other 
means 
of 
dealing 
with 
it, 
as 
I 
have 
done 
everything 
possible 
to 
make 
this 
a 
reality 
from 
this 
end. 
We 
must 
keep 
a 
low 
profile 
as 
a 
result 
of 
the 
amount 
in 
quesAon. 
Do 
not 
let 
me 
down. 
Keep 
in 
mind 
at 
all 
Ame 
the 
need 
for 
confidenAality 
and 
absolute 
secrecy 
before 
we 
conclude 
this 
transacAon. 
Phone 
conversaAon 
is 
not 
a 
safe 
measure 
in 
this 
endeavor. 
Remember 
to 
keep 
our 
secret. 
I 
cannot 
call 
you 
on 
the 
phone 
or 
receive 
fax, 
as 
I 
am 
not 
always 
at 
base 
as 
a 
result 
of 
my 
operaAonal 
schedule 
and 
acAve 
duty. 
Hope 
you 
are 
okay 
with 
this? 
Everything 
must 
be 
done 
by 
email. 
Will 
you 
sAll 
help? 
I 
need 
your 
urgent 
reply 
in 
this 
regard. 
If 
you 
are 
interested, 
please 
let 
me 
know, 
than 
having 
hopes. 
I 
will 
be 
forwarding 
my 
IdenAficaAon 
to 
you 
in 
my 
corresponding 
email. 
Thanks.
Hello Amy, May 5 
That is an incredible story! Very exciting. How were you able to open the safe? I have heard 
that most safes have their combination written on the top as most people can't memorize 
numbers. Was that the case here? 
First, to answer your questions. 
1) My address: 
200 N Comal St, San Antonio, TX 78207 
2) Can you trust me? 
Absolutely! 
3) What do I do for a living? 
I'm a traveling underwater welding professor. 
4) Am I married with kids? 
I am not married. Maybe our relationship can develop into something more? You have a very 
beautiful name. Can you please send a picture of yourself over? I sent one of myself. What do 
you think? Not bad, huh? 
5) Do I have kids? 
Not in the way you're thinking of. I have made many donations to a sperm bank, however. 
6) Can I handle the funds? 
I think I can figure that out with time. 
7) Am I OK with email communication? 
Yes, that is acceptable. 
Regards, 
Ricardo

Thanks 
for 
your 
response 
to 
my 
message 
and 
the 
willingness 
to 
assist 
me 
with 
this 
venture. 
If 
we 
can 
establish 
a 
strong 
trust 
within 
the 
shortest 
possible 
Ame, 
then 
the 
funds 
will 
be 
shipped 
to 
you 
through 
the 
contact 
details 
you 
are 
going 
to 
provide. 
I 
had 
to 
break 
it 
up 
but 
was 
sealed 
back. 
But 
talking 
about 
trust, 
we 
should 
be 
able 
to 
idenAfy 
with 
ourselves 
like 
I 
rightly 
said 
by 
making 
available 
to 
each 
other 
our 
ID 
proof. 
I 
have 
afached 
my 
IdenAficaAon 
in 
this 
message 
and 
will 
await 
yours, 
to 
be 
transparent 
in 
our 
dealings. 
This 
is 
a 
life 
Ame 
opportunity 
for 
us, 
also 
there 
is 
no 
means 
of 
you 
gegng 
into 
trouble. 
All 
has 
been 
mapped 
out. 
But 
first 
you 
have 
to 
re-­‐assure 
me 
that 
you 
can 
handle 
this 
and 
keep 
it 
in 
a 
safe 
and 
in 
secured 
place 
when 
you 
receive 
it, 
and 
that 
you 
can 
be 
trusted 
in 
this 
endeavor 
considering 
the 
magnitude 
of 
this 
deal, 
we 
have 
to 
be 
very 
low 
profiled 
in 
our 
transacAon 
and 
keep 
this 
between 
us 
All 
you 
receive 
the 
shipment. 
If 
you 
think 
your 
house 
contact 
details 
is 
safe 
for 
the 
shipment, 
then 
we 
can 
proceed 
with 
it 
or 
provide 
any 
secured 
address, 
so 
I 
want 
you 
to

Thank 
you 
very 
much 
for 
the 
provided 
informaAon. 
Be 
rest 
assured 
that 
your 
informaAon 
is 
safe 
and 
will 
not 
be 
distributed 
in 
any 
form. 
I 
want 
you 
to 
be 
fully 
aware 
of 
my 
plans 
of 
the 
package 
to 
be 
delivered, 
so 
that 
nothing 
will 
be 
a 
surprise 
to 
you 
and 
for 
proper 
understanding 
of 
the 
procedures. 
The 
shipment 
will 
be 
tagged 
diplomaAc 
documents 
and 
of 
Ancient 
Graphic 
Art 
Materials 
and 
will 
be 
in 
Trunk 
Boxes. 
With 
this, 
it 
will 
not 
be 
checked 
at 
any 
port 
of 
entry 
by 
country 
customs 
or 
airport 
securiAes. 
This 
is 
because 
of 
the 
diplomaAc 
immunity 
on 
it. 
So, 
it 
will 
be 
just 
you 
and 
me 
that 
is 
aware 
of
its 
original 
content. 
With 
these, 
there 
will 
be 
no 
problem 
with 
customs 
or 
government 
bodies 
and 
as 
I 
said 
in 
my 
prior 
message 
the 
shipment 
will 
be 
moved 
from 
Japan. 
I 
cannot 
be 
seen 
with 
money 
above 
$100 
around 
here, 
as 
it 
is 
not 
allowed 
or 
make 
transfers 
on 
this 
course 
(it 
will 
be 
a 
serious 
risk 
on 
my 
side 
and 
bring 
about 
awareness 
on 
our 
monitoring 
team). 
Though 
shipment 
of 
such 
with 
diplomaAc 
immunity 
is 
very 
expensive 
here, 
I 
will 
deduct 
whatever 
amount 
it 
will 
cost 
for 
the 
shipping 
fee, 
from 
these 
funds 
that 
I 
have 
privately 
secured 
and 
safe, 
without 
the 
awareness 
of 
anyone. 
So 
be 
rest 
assured 
that 
all 
delivery 
fee 
will 
be 
taken 
care 
of, 
All 
it 
gets 
to 
you. 
I 
trust 
in 
you, 
so 
please 
do 
not 
fail 
me 
or 
steal 
the 
money 
when 
it 
gets 
to 
you. 
We 
already 
agreed 
on 
a 
percentage 
sharing 
of 
60/40%. 
I 
will 
really 
appreciate 
some 
dedicaAon 
of 
your 
Ame 
to 
this, 
so 
that 
things 
can 
be 
fast 
without 
unnecessary 
delays. 
You 
must 
always 
remember 
the 
need 
for 
confidenAality 
and 
absolute 
secrecy. 
Also, 
understand 
that 
most 
Ames, 
I 
am 
out 
of 
base 
and 
will 
NOT 
be 
able 
to 
access 
my 
mail. 
But 
whenever 
I 
am 
in 
base, 
I 
will 
always 
be 
in 
contact. 
So 
it 
will 
be 
nice, 
if 
you 
write 
me 
every 
Ame 
as 
a 
friend 
and 
business 
partner. 
Please 
let 
me 
know 
if 
you 
understand 
in 
your 
response. 
Thank 
you, 
Amy 
Dearest Amy, May 6 
Thank you for your note. I feel that we are coming together as a team. 
I was wondering if you have maybe thought of shipping yourself over in one of the trunks? 
Surely you must have someone helping you over there as moving those huge trunks of money 
around would be difficult. I'm thinking of the person who was able to stow away in the landing 
gear of a commercial flight to Hawaii. I think the key is being able to go into a state of near 
hibernation which you would need to do in the trunk. Remember to use the restroom right 
before you enter the box. And I guess do not eat beans before being sealed up in there. In this 
way you would be away from the base with the money, and also we could be united when you 
arrive. Of course I'll give you some time to freshen up. And I won't allow your appearance to 
make a first impression on me. So you get a mulligan! But just one - LOL! 
Think about it. 
Regards, 
Ricardo

I 
do 
not 
understand 
the 
messages 
you 
are 
sending 
me 
and 
to 
my 
understanding 
so 
far, 
they 
are 
not 
right. 
Give 
me 
one 
good 
reason 
why 
i 
should 
trust 
you 
in 
this 
now.
Thank 
you, 
Amy 
Dear Amy, May 6 
I don't understand - what's the issue? 
Warmer regards, 
Ricardo 
May 6 
I 
was 
wondering 
if 
you 
have 
maybe 
thought 
of 
shipping 
yourself 
over 
in 
one 
of 
the 
trunks? 
Surely 
you 
must 
have 
someone 
helping 
you 
over 
there 
as 
moving 
those 
huge 
trunks 
of 
money 
around 
would 
be 
difficult. 
I'm 
thinking 
of 
the 
person 
who 
was 
able 
to 
stow 
away 
in 
the 
landing 
gear 
of 
a 
commercial 
flight 
to 
Hawaii. 
I 
think 
the 
key 
is 
being 
able 
to 
go 
into 
a 
state 
of 
near 
hibernaAon 
which 
you 
would 
need 
to 
do 
in 
the 
trunk. 
Remember 
to 
use 
the 
restroom 
right 
before 
you 
enter 
the 
box. 
And 
I 
guess 
do 
not 
eat 
beans 
before 
being 
sealed 
up 
in 
there. 
In 
this 
way 
you 
would 
be 
away 
from 
the 
base 
with 
the 
money, 
and 
also 
we 
could 
be 
united 
when 
you 
arrive. 
Of 
course 
I'll 
give 
you 
some 
Ame 
to 
freshen 
up. 
And 
I 
won't 
allow 
your 
appearance 
to 
make 
a 
first 
impression 
on 
me. 
So 
you 
get 
a 
mulligan! 
But 
just 
one 
-­‐ 
LOL! 
Think 
about. 
Above 
was 
the 
message 
you 
sent 
me 
and 
what 
is 
the 
meaning 
of 
this. 
Dear Amy, May 6 
This was just some playful banter. I am, however, wondering how you're able to move such a 
heavy trunk full of cash. Surely you must have help in this on your end? How many other 
people are involved in this - I think I have the right to know. 
Ricardo 
Ricardo, 
May

Do 
you 
understand 
the 
plan 
of 
shipment 
that 
i 
have 
sent 
to 
you 
earlier 
on. 
Also, 
a 
reliable 
friend 
will 
help 
in 
taking 
them 
but 
not 
as 
huge 
as 
you 
think. 
Can 
you 
go 
back 
and 
read 
the 
plan 
of 
shipment 
so 
we 
can 
move 
on 
with 
this. 
I 
can't 
be 
online 
all 
the 
Ame 
and 
is 
risky 
coming 
here 
to 
even 
send 
mail.
Thank 
you, 
Amy 
Hey Amy, May 6 
Yes, I understand the plan of shipment. The details all seem to be on your end. Do you need 
anything from me right now? 
! 
Ricardo 
Ricardo, 
May

I'm 
so 
glad 
you 
understand 
my 
previous 
message, 
thanks 
for 
your 
response. 
I 
must 
confess 
that 
I 
really 
appreciate 
your 
kind 
of 
person 
in 
this 
transacAon. 
I’ll 
do 
all 
my 
possible 
best 
to 
make 
sure 
everything 
go 
smooth 
out 
here 
and 
will 
also 
make 
do 
with 
your 
informaAon 
and 
keep 
you 
posted 
as 
soon 
as 
shipment 
is 
moved, 
to 
enable 
you 
avail 
yourself 
for 
its 
arrival. 
I'll 
move 
now 
to 
Fukuoka, 
Japan, 
to 
proceed 
with 
the 
Shipment. 
I'll 
not 
be 
back 
to 
Camp 
Red 
Cloud, 
for 
about 
8 
to 
10 
hours. 
Immediately 
the 
shipment 
is 
moved, 
I 
will 
contact 
you. 
Would 
find 
a 
safe 
computer 
to 
send 
you 
a 
message 
at 
Fukuoka, 
Japan. 
Once 
again 
thank 
you 
and 
God 
bless. 
Bye 
for 
now. 
Amy 
Dear Amy, May 7 
It has been 20 hours now. I'm beginning to get worried. Is everything OK?

Ricardo 
Ricardo,

GreeAngs 
my 
friend. 
This 
is 
to 
inform 
you 
that 
the 
trunk 
boxes 
were 
dispatched 
some 
hours 
ago, 
via 
India 
to 
your 
address. 
The 
trunk 
boxes 
had 
to 
be 
routed 
through 
Delhi, 
India 
because 
there 
was 
no 
direct 
cargo 
flights 
from
Fukuoka, 
Japan 
to 
your 
country. 
I 
can't 
speak 
on 
the 
phone 
for 
security 
reasons 
(this 
you 
already 
know), 
as 
I 
would 
have 
called 
you 
to 
noAfy 
you 
of 
this 
development, 
though 
it 
was 
not 
an 
easy 
task, 
but 
thank 
God 
everything 
went 
as 
planned 
and 
I 
just 
managed 
to 
get 
to 
a 
safe 
computer 
to 
send 
this 
message 
to 
you. 
The 
shipping 
company 
charged 
$10,350 
for 
diplomaAc 
shipment 
and 
as 
expected, 
I 
knew 
it 
will 
be 
expensive 
(this 
was 
among 
our 
previous 
correspondence). 
I 
had 
to 
remove 
the 
sum 
of 
$10,350 
to 
complete 
payment 
for 
the 
charges. 
I 
have 
also 
given 
the 
shipping 
company 
an 
extra 
$500, 
if 
by 
any 
chance 
it 
is 
needed. 
The 
total 
amount 
available 
in 
the 
trunk 
boxes 
a^er 
this 
deducAon 
is 
now 
$8,589,150 
(Eight 
Million 
Five 
Hundred 
and 
Eighty 
Nine 
Thousand, 
One 
Hundred 
and 
Fi^y 
Dollars). 
Please 
do 
not 
entertain 
any 
fear, 
as 
everything 
has 
been 
well 
mapped 
out 
and 
the 
funds 
will 
have 
no 
trace 
to 
us. 
You 
also 
have 
to 
remember 
that 
you 
are 
not 
to 
disclose 
the 
original 
content 
of 
the 
trunks 
to 
the 
shipping 
company 
or 
anybody, 
as 
it 
was 
declared 
as 
containing 
vital 
diplomaAc 
documents 
and 
ancient 
graphic 
art 
materials. 
The 
shipping 
company 
is 
not 
aware 
of 
the 
content, 
so 
if 
at 
any 
Ame 
you 
are 
asked, 
just 
tell

they 
are 
diplomaAc 
documents 
and 
ancient

as

on

Contact

Dear Amy, May 8 
I am glad to hear from you. For a while I was thinking that you had met your unexpected end. 
I will contact the shipping company soon. I am also looking forward to meeting you - I can pick 
you up from the airport. The nearest one to me is the San Antonio International Airport. 
Please send me a copy of the shipping airway bill. This will be valuable information. 
Regards, 
Ricardo 
Dear Guru Sharan Singh, May 8 
My associate Amy Rhodes has provided you with a shipment to airfreight to me. I trust that you 
were aware I would be contacting you about this matter. I am interested in finding out more 
details of this. Could you please email me a copy of the airfreight manifest? I will also require 
pictures of the cargo from at least two different angles. This is required for accepting the 
package once delivered - I need to ensure that it has not been damaged or opened during 
transit - this is very important to me. I cannot stress that last point enough. Very, VERY VERY 
IMPORTANT - DO NOT OPEN. Please let me know if you have any questions on this. DO 
NOT OPEN. 
I look forward to hearing from you. 
Regards, 
Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham 
Hello Guru Sharan Singh, May 9 
Could you please acknowledge receipt of this email? I'm wondering if my message got through. 
It is understandable if you need time to answer this, but I would like to know that you have 
received this. 
Regards, 
Ricardo 
Dear Amy, May 9 
I have not heard from the shipping company, although I contacted them yesterday. Should I 
include you on the email list? Perhaps they don't recognize who I am and how I am connected 
to this matter. 
Please advise. 
Ricardo
Dear Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham, May 9 
We have tried to contact you on your telephone, but there was no answer, We advice you provide a 
reachable mobile number. 
Please see attached letter. 
Also, be informed that $500 made available by sender to our office at Fukuoka - Japan, has been remitted 
to us, if this money is not used during the course of delivery, it will be completely refunded back to sender

Dear Guru Sharan Singh, May 9 
I will have to get back to you on the other items needed. In the meantime, please DO NOT 
OPEN THE TRUNKS! I cannot emphasize enough: DO NOT OPEN THEM. 
Thanks, 
Ricardo 
Dear Amy, May 9 
Do you happen to have a copy of the airway bill, the non-inspection certificate, or the India 
border clearance certificate laying around? The shipping company is interested in these. Don't 
worry - I told them NOT TO OPEN THE TRUNKS! I think I made myself clear on that point. 
Thanks,

Please 
you 
must 
pardon 
my 
delay 
in 
response, 
I 
am 
on 
AcAve 
Duty, 
and 
so 
most 
Ames 
I 
am 
out 
of 
base 
on 
operaAonal 
duty 
and 
patrol. 
I 
am 
so 
glad 
that 
the 
shipment 
has 
arrived 
India. 
This 
is 
good 
news 
for 
me. 
With 
regards 
to 
what 
the 
shipping 
company 
is 
requesAng; 
1. 
Copy 
of 
Shipment 
Airway 
Bill 
(Find 
afached 
to 
this 
e-­‐mail, 
forward 
to 
them 
immediately) 
2. 
Non-­‐InspecAon 
CerAficate 
(I 
do 
not 
have 
this 
cerAficate. 
I 
did 
not 
know 
that 
it 
will 
be 
needed. 
Nobody 
gave 
me 
this 
when 
I 
was 
doing 
the 
shipment. 
The 
best 
thing 
for 
us 
is 
for 
you 
to 
tell 
the 
shipping 
company 
that 
you 
do 
not 
have 
this 
cerAficate. 
Ask 
them 
how 
they 
can 
assist 
you. 
I 
am 
sure 
there 
must 
be 
a 
way 
around 
it). 
Since 
I 
made 
$500 
available, 
this 
should 
cover 
the 
CerAficate. 
3. 
Delivery 
address 
(Send 
them 
your 
receiving 
address, 
that 
which 
you 
find 
more 
convenience) 
Please 
make 
sure 
that 
you 
contact 
them 
immediately. 
I 
will 
be 
out 
of 
base 
again 
later 
today 
and 
I 
will 
not 
be 
back 
to 
base 
for 
some 
days. 
I 
will 
be 
very 
happy 
when 
I 
come 
back 
to 
know 
that 
the 
shipment 
has 
le^ 
Delhi, 
India 
for 
your 
place. 
I 
wait 
to 
hear 
the 
good 
news.

Hello Amy, May 11 
Can you please describe the error? I'm very confused by this.

Dear Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham, May 11 
As you already know, the Non - Inspection Certificate is required to do the clearance of your shipment 
here in Delhi, India and forwarded to you. Without a Non - Inspection Certificate your shipment will be 
opened for inspection by the customs. 
With the availability of this certificate, clearance here in India will be completed and there will be no 
further custom check in your country. This is because of the bilateral relationship between India and your 
country. 
Having this certificate and the diplomatic documents already available, avoids any problem in your 
country with customs or any government body.

Dear Mr. Singh, May 13
This is outstanding news. I will make arrangements to send the $480. 
Can you please send pictures of the trunks? 
Regards, 
Ricardo 
Dear Mr. Singh, May 14 
I still have not received the picture of the trunks. As you indicated that this is an urgent matter, I 
would have expected to receive the picture by now. I'm wondering what is taking so long? 
I would like one of these two things to happen: 
Either: 
1) Take a picture of the two trunks with yourself in the picture. To ensure 
that this is a legitimate picture and not just some random picture 
downloaded from the internet, I want you to pose with your hand making 
a specific hand sign (see attached picture). 
Or: 
2) Return the two trunks back to Japan. My business partner and myself 
will make different arrangements for their travel. 
Regards, 
Ricardo 
Dear Mr. Singh, May 17 
I have given up hope of you sending the trunks or a picture. I'm afraid I'll have to take things up 
with Ms. Rhodes.

Sgt seeks help moving found funds

  • 1. Hello, April 21 I hope this email finds you well. I will be brief here and hope to hear from you soon. I am Sgt. Amy Rhodes of the United States Army on AcAve Duty and based in Camp Red Cloud. I'm staAoned in Uijeongbu, South Korea to keep peace around the Korean Peninsula. I have a business proposal of mutual benefit for you and it is 100% safe. I will be glad to discuss more of this in my next message, if you are interested. My IdenAficaAon will also be sent in due course. Thank you for your Ame. Regards, A. Rhodes Hello Mr. A Rhodes, May 2 I'm interested to hear about your business proposal. As you probably know, I specialize in deep sea salvage - my career as a traveling underwater welding professor has taken me around the world and made me contacts such as yourself. I'm enclosing my LinkedIn profile for you to consider. https://www.linkedin.com/pub/ricardo-cunningham/96/61b/717 Please send me a picture of yourself so I know for sure who I'm dealing with. I'm enclosing one of myself. Regards, Ricardo GreeAngs, May 4 It is of great pleasure I write you this message, following my previous introducAon. First I must thank you for your response to my email about the proposal, this shows your interest and I appreciate that. As you already know, my name is Amy Rhodes, feel free to call me Amy, currently based in Camp Red Cloud, in the City of Uijeongbu near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), South Korea. Now about the proposal, in the past years, there was severe rains that caused deadly flooding and damage to South Korea, some wealthy people, including poliAcians were killed and their houses and companies were destroyed as a result of the severe flood. Majority of them lost their enAre family as a result of this. Billions of dollars were realized by the Government in their business structures, houses that was destroyed, but mostly companies. During a rouAne patrol by my unit someAme ago, I discovered a safe buried in a destroyed building. My team was not aware of this, as I kept it secret, All I had Ame to personally inspect the safe and found out
  • 2. it contained the sum of $8,600,000 (Eight Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). This poliAcians understood the laws against such amount of money and currency in the country, so I believed they buried it and secretly used it for their poliAcal mischief. At the moment, I have these funds privately secured and safe, without the awareness of anyone. But I cannot conAnue to hold it back here for long, because if anyone finds out, I will lose it all and will result to an immediate dishonorable discharge of duty. So I want to partner with you and ship the money in trunk boxes to a secure locaAon you will provide outside this country. I need your help to handle these funds. I have a very good, trusted and reliable shipping company contact, used mostly by forces in Japan, that can send goods easily through diplomaAc and private military way, to anywhere in the world, without them being checked at any port of entry. So during shipment, I will travel from Uijeongbu to Japan to make the delivery. I can make arrangement to deliver the money to any address of your choice. The baggage will be tagged diplomaAc documents, and the shipping company, will not know the contents of the boxes. Some civilians here and local soldiers have used this means without being checked because of the diplomaAc immunity they enjoy. Their charges are very high, I will negoAate a way out from this end, All it gets to your door step and I will follow up immediately and meet with you for disbursement a^er you have received it. Most importantly I do not want this money to go through banks around here, it will not be safe for us. I am sure you will know the best way to handle this funds for us when it gets to you. Please let me have an address where you want them to deliver the boxes. As soon as I get it, I will start making arrangements to ship at once. If we are lucky and fast enough, we can conclude this within the next one week. I will send the whole amount, since I cannot keep cash on me. But can I trust you? As I already informed you that, the proposal is of mutual benefit, once the funds get to you, you take 40% and keep my 60%, I believe this is fair enough. Your role here is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to and mine is sending it to you. What do you do for a living? Are you married with kids? Can you handle these funds? We need to build trust!! I want you to know that, the knowledge of funds leaving the province of Uijeongbu and Japan to your country, is just between the two of us, so try and keep this private. If you are not capable of handling this huge sum, DO NOT allow me ship. I can find other means of dealing with it, as I have done everything possible to make this a reality from this end. We must keep a low profile as a result of the amount in quesAon. Do not let me down. Keep in mind at all Ame the need for confidenAality and absolute secrecy before we conclude this transacAon. Phone conversaAon is not a safe measure in this endeavor. Remember to keep our secret. I cannot call you on the phone or receive fax, as I am not always at base as a result of my operaAonal schedule and acAve duty. Hope you are okay with this? Everything must be done by email. Will you sAll help? I need your urgent reply in this regard. If you are interested, please let me know, than having hopes. I will be forwarding my IdenAficaAon to you in my corresponding email. Thanks.
  • 3. Hello Amy, May 5 That is an incredible story! Very exciting. How were you able to open the safe? I have heard that most safes have their combination written on the top as most people can't memorize numbers. Was that the case here? First, to answer your questions. 1) My address: 200 N Comal St, San Antonio, TX 78207 2) Can you trust me? Absolutely! 3) What do I do for a living? I'm a traveling underwater welding professor. 4) Am I married with kids? I am not married. Maybe our relationship can develop into something more? You have a very beautiful name. Can you please send a picture of yourself over? I sent one of myself. What do you think? Not bad, huh? 5) Do I have kids? Not in the way you're thinking of. I have made many donations to a sperm bank, however. 6) Can I handle the funds? I think I can figure that out with time. 7) Am I OK with email communication? Yes, that is acceptable. Regards, Ricardo Ricardo, May 5 Thanks for your response to my message and the willingness to assist me with this venture. If we can establish a strong trust within the shortest possible Ame, then the funds will be shipped to you through the contact details you are going to provide. I had to break it up but was sealed back. But talking about trust, we should be able to idenAfy with ourselves like I rightly said by making available to each other our ID proof. I have afached my IdenAficaAon in this message and will await yours, to be transparent in our dealings. This is a life Ame opportunity for us, also there is no means of you gegng into trouble. All has been mapped out. But first you have to re-­‐assure me that you can handle this and keep it in a safe and in secured place when you receive it, and that you can be trusted in this endeavor considering the magnitude of this deal, we have to be very low profiled in our transacAon and keep this between us All you receive the shipment. If you think your house contact details is safe for the shipment, then we can proceed with it or provide any secured address, so I want you to re-­‐confirm the following informaAon to enable me proceed with the shipment plans. Complete Names. Delivery Address. Private Phone Number.
  • 4. OccupaAon. The phone number is required for easy contact by the shipping company when shipment is in moAon. I was informed that the shipping company can deliver to anywhere in the world. I shall await your response. Thanks, Amy Dearest Amy, May 5 Thank you for providing that information. I know it is a difficult thing to send sensitive information like that through an email. To answer your questions: Complete Names. Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham Delivery Address. 200 N Comal St, San Antonio, TX 78207 Private Phone Number. (210) 225-6741 OccupaAon. Traveling underwater welding professor Regards, Ricardo Ricardo, May 5 Thank you very much for the provided informaAon. Be rest assured that your informaAon is safe and will not be distributed in any form. I want you to be fully aware of my plans of the package to be delivered, so that nothing will be a surprise to you and for proper understanding of the procedures. The shipment will be tagged diplomaAc documents and of Ancient Graphic Art Materials and will be in Trunk Boxes. With this, it will not be checked at any port of entry by country customs or airport securiAes. This is because of the diplomaAc immunity on it. So, it will be just you and me that is aware of
  • 5. its original content. With these, there will be no problem with customs or government bodies and as I said in my prior message the shipment will be moved from Japan. I cannot be seen with money above $100 around here, as it is not allowed or make transfers on this course (it will be a serious risk on my side and bring about awareness on our monitoring team). Though shipment of such with diplomaAc immunity is very expensive here, I will deduct whatever amount it will cost for the shipping fee, from these funds that I have privately secured and safe, without the awareness of anyone. So be rest assured that all delivery fee will be taken care of, All it gets to you. I trust in you, so please do not fail me or steal the money when it gets to you. We already agreed on a percentage sharing of 60/40%. I will really appreciate some dedicaAon of your Ame to this, so that things can be fast without unnecessary delays. You must always remember the need for confidenAality and absolute secrecy. Also, understand that most Ames, I am out of base and will NOT be able to access my mail. But whenever I am in base, I will always be in contact. So it will be nice, if you write me every Ame as a friend and business partner. Please let me know if you understand in your response. Thank you, Amy Dearest Amy, May 6 Thank you for your note. I feel that we are coming together as a team. I was wondering if you have maybe thought of shipping yourself over in one of the trunks? Surely you must have someone helping you over there as moving those huge trunks of money around would be difficult. I'm thinking of the person who was able to stow away in the landing gear of a commercial flight to Hawaii. I think the key is being able to go into a state of near hibernation which you would need to do in the trunk. Remember to use the restroom right before you enter the box. And I guess do not eat beans before being sealed up in there. In this way you would be away from the base with the money, and also we could be united when you arrive. Of course I'll give you some time to freshen up. And I won't allow your appearance to make a first impression on me. So you get a mulligan! But just one - LOL! Think about it. Regards, Ricardo Ricardo, May 6 I do not understand the messages you are sending me and to my understanding so far, they are not right. Give me one good reason why i should trust you in this now.
  • 6. Thank you, Amy Dear Amy, May 6 I don't understand - what's the issue? Warmer regards, Ricardo May 6 I was wondering if you have maybe thought of shipping yourself over in one of the trunks? Surely you must have someone helping you over there as moving those huge trunks of money around would be difficult. I'm thinking of the person who was able to stow away in the landing gear of a commercial flight to Hawaii. I think the key is being able to go into a state of near hibernaAon which you would need to do in the trunk. Remember to use the restroom right before you enter the box. And I guess do not eat beans before being sealed up in there. In this way you would be away from the base with the money, and also we could be united when you arrive. Of course I'll give you some Ame to freshen up. And I won't allow your appearance to make a first impression on me. So you get a mulligan! But just one -­‐ LOL! Think about. Above was the message you sent me and what is the meaning of this. Dear Amy, May 6 This was just some playful banter. I am, however, wondering how you're able to move such a heavy trunk full of cash. Surely you must have help in this on your end? How many other people are involved in this - I think I have the right to know. Ricardo Ricardo, May 6 Do you understand the plan of shipment that i have sent to you earlier on. Also, a reliable friend will help in taking them but not as huge as you think. Can you go back and read the plan of shipment so we can move on with this. I can't be online all the Ame and is risky coming here to even send mail.
  • 7. Thank you, Amy Hey Amy, May 6 Yes, I understand the plan of shipment. The details all seem to be on your end. Do you need anything from me right now? ! Ricardo Ricardo, May 6 I'm so glad you understand my previous message, thanks for your response. I must confess that I really appreciate your kind of person in this transacAon. I’ll do all my possible best to make sure everything go smooth out here and will also make do with your informaAon and keep you posted as soon as shipment is moved, to enable you avail yourself for its arrival. I'll move now to Fukuoka, Japan, to proceed with the Shipment. I'll not be back to Camp Red Cloud, for about 8 to 10 hours. Immediately the shipment is moved, I will contact you. Would find a safe computer to send you a message at Fukuoka, Japan. Once again thank you and God bless. Bye for now. Amy Dear Amy, May 7 It has been 20 hours now. I'm beginning to get worried. Is everything OK? ! Ricardo Ricardo, May 8 GreeAngs my friend. This is to inform you that the trunk boxes were dispatched some hours ago, via India to your address. The trunk boxes had to be routed through Delhi, India because there was no direct cargo flights from
  • 8. Fukuoka, Japan to your country. I can't speak on the phone for security reasons (this you already know), as I would have called you to noAfy you of this development, though it was not an easy task, but thank God everything went as planned and I just managed to get to a safe computer to send this message to you. The shipping company charged $10,350 for diplomaAc shipment and as expected, I knew it will be expensive (this was among our previous correspondence). I had to remove the sum of $10,350 to complete payment for the charges. I have also given the shipping company an extra $500, if by any chance it is needed. The total amount available in the trunk boxes a^er this deducAon is now $8,589,150 (Eight Million Five Hundred and Eighty Nine Thousand, One Hundred and Fi^y Dollars). Please do not entertain any fear, as everything has been well mapped out and the funds will have no trace to us. You also have to remember that you are not to disclose the original content of the trunks to the shipping company or anybody, as it was declared as containing vital diplomaAc documents and ancient graphic art materials. The shipping company is not aware of the content, so if at any Ame you are asked, just tell them they are diplomaAc documents and ancient graphic art materials as indicated on the air way bill. Contact the shipping company as soon as possible with the details below, as I was told that shipment will take three days before delivery to you. Contact them to confirm the exact arrival date and Ame of our shipment to your door step, with the details provided below: Bharat Shipping Limited 794, Joshi Road, Karol Bagh, New Delhi -­‐ 110005, Delhi, India Guru Sharan Singh (Director) E-­‐mail: bharatgroup@outlook.com Skype: Bharat.SL Phone: (+91) 8586946272 Fax: (+91) 9650566600 Be informed that you have to treat with absolute confidenAality for security reasons and I will also look for a scanner to scan the copy of the shipment airway bill. Do not tell anyone or let the shippers know that you are expecAng cash, so you just have to be extra careful. Please reply me as soon as you receive this message, I will head back to Uijeongbu immediately. I have to report back to base before Friday. I am making arrangements to apply for an honorable discharge, but I will have to do this smartly so I can follow up to meet with you as soon as possible. I will inform you when arrival schedule is known to me, so you can pick me up from the airport. As soon as the shipping company delivers to you, please keep in a very safe and secured place. I am counAng so much on you, I trust you with my life, please do not let me down and remember to keep secret. I will inform you when I get back to Camp Red Cloud, thank you. Contact the company as soon as possible or preferably call them o^en. Thanks, Amy
  • 9. Dear Amy, May 8 I am glad to hear from you. For a while I was thinking that you had met your unexpected end. I will contact the shipping company soon. I am also looking forward to meeting you - I can pick you up from the airport. The nearest one to me is the San Antonio International Airport. Please send me a copy of the shipping airway bill. This will be valuable information. Regards, Ricardo Dear Guru Sharan Singh, May 8 My associate Amy Rhodes has provided you with a shipment to airfreight to me. I trust that you were aware I would be contacting you about this matter. I am interested in finding out more details of this. Could you please email me a copy of the airfreight manifest? I will also require pictures of the cargo from at least two different angles. This is required for accepting the package once delivered - I need to ensure that it has not been damaged or opened during transit - this is very important to me. I cannot stress that last point enough. Very, VERY VERY IMPORTANT - DO NOT OPEN. Please let me know if you have any questions on this. DO NOT OPEN. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham Hello Guru Sharan Singh, May 9 Could you please acknowledge receipt of this email? I'm wondering if my message got through. It is understandable if you need time to answer this, but I would like to know that you have received this. Regards, Ricardo Dear Amy, May 9 I have not heard from the shipping company, although I contacted them yesterday. Should I include you on the email list? Perhaps they don't recognize who I am and how I am connected to this matter. Please advise. Ricardo
  • 10. Dear Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham, May 9 We have tried to contact you on your telephone, but there was no answer, We advice you provide a reachable mobile number. Please see attached letter. Also, be informed that $500 made available by sender to our office at Fukuoka - Japan, has been remitted to us, if this money is not used during the course of delivery, it will be completely refunded back to sender or you the receiver.

  • 12. Dear Nitya Preeti Devi, May 9 I have received your email. This is excellent news. Please deliver the trunks to: Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham 200 N Comal St San Antonio, TX 78207 Regards, Ricardo Cunningham Dear Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham, May 9 We have received your address. Please provide the required documentation requested in the attached letter sent to you. ............................................................. Guru Sharan Singh Director Dear Guru Sharan Singh, May 9 I will have to get back to you on the other items needed. In the meantime, please DO NOT OPEN THE TRUNKS! I cannot emphasize enough: DO NOT OPEN THEM. Thanks, Ricardo Dear Amy, May 9 Do you happen to have a copy of the airway bill, the non-inspection certificate, or the India border clearance certificate laying around? The shipping company is interested in these. Don't worry - I told them NOT TO OPEN THE TRUNKS! I think I made myself clear on that point. Thanks, Ricardo
  • 13. Ricardo, May 10 Please you must pardon my delay in response, I am on AcAve Duty, and so most Ames I am out of base on operaAonal duty and patrol. I am so glad that the shipment has arrived India. This is good news for me. With regards to what the shipping company is requesAng; 1. Copy of Shipment Airway Bill (Find afached to this e-­‐mail, forward to them immediately) 2. Non-­‐InspecAon CerAficate (I do not have this cerAficate. I did not know that it will be needed. Nobody gave me this when I was doing the shipment. The best thing for us is for you to tell the shipping company that you do not have this cerAficate. Ask them how they can assist you. I am sure there must be a way around it). Since I made $500 available, this should cover the CerAficate. 3. Delivery address (Send them your receiving address, that which you find more convenience) Please make sure that you contact them immediately. I will be out of base again later today and I will not be back to base for some days. I will be very happy when I come back to know that the shipment has le^ Delhi, India for your place. I wait to hear the good news. Thanks and Blessings. Amy Dear Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham, May 10 We have received your email and will await the documentation. ............................................................. Guru Sharan Singh Director

  • 16. Amy Hello Amy, May 11 Can you please describe the error? I'm very confused by this. I am in contact with the shipping company. I'm a little suspicious of those people. I asked them for a picture of the trunks to ensure that they have them and that they look unopened. Regards, Ricardo Ricardo, May 11 My email started sending out messages but it's okay now. I trust the shipping company because it was from a good reliable source. Go ahead and deal with them and provide anything that is needed. I will be off because of acAve duty for some days now.

  • 18. Dear Ricardo Badmofo Cunningham, May 11 As you already know, the Non - Inspection Certificate is required to do the clearance of your shipment here in Delhi, India and forwarded to you. Without a Non - Inspection Certificate your shipment will be opened for inspection by the customs. With the availability of this certificate, clearance here in India will be completed and there will be no further custom check in your country. This is because of the bilateral relationship between India and your country. Having this certificate and the diplomatic documents already available, avoids any problem in your country with customs or any government body. .............................................................

  • 21. This is outstanding news. I will make arrangements to send the $480. Can you please send pictures of the trunks? Regards, Ricardo Dear Mr. Singh, May 14 I still have not received the picture of the trunks. As you indicated that this is an urgent matter, I would have expected to receive the picture by now. I'm wondering what is taking so long? I would like one of these two things to happen: Either: 1) Take a picture of the two trunks with yourself in the picture. To ensure that this is a legitimate picture and not just some random picture downloaded from the internet, I want you to pose with your hand making a specific hand sign (see attached picture). Or: 2) Return the two trunks back to Japan. My business partner and myself will make different arrangements for their travel. Regards, Ricardo Dear Mr. Singh, May 17 I have given up hope of you sending the trunks or a picture. I'm afraid I'll have to take things up with Ms. Rhodes. Regards, Ricardo
