Scam Busted

I'll write more of the Helen Bogu saga, but first I want to introduce you to my latest friend, Andrew Bell. Andrew knows the location of a trunk full of currency that he's willing to split with me if I help him get it out of his old country. It was a deal I couldn't pass up as you'll see...

Re: You can contact the security company
Dear Andrew Bell,
I'm a 50 year old private contractor and I can be phoned at 13067862400 {An RCMP detachment in Saskatchewan} but I share a phone number with others so if you want to remain private I recommend we talk with email for now. I don't have a fax and can't trust the one at work to be private so again use email.
My address to send papers to is
Sam Steele Tompkins
45 Toronto St.
Dog River SK S0A 4A1
Canada
{Dog River is a fictional town in the television show Corner Gas on CTV}

When you visit how will I know what you look like can you send me a picture of yourself please so that I know no one else will try and pretend to be you?

Yours Lovingly,
Sam Steele Tompkins

{Cool, he mailed documents to Dog River, SK. Do you think Brent LeRoy will reply to him, or will they go to the Dog River Howler fake newspaper? Who gets the mail for a fictional town anyway?}

{Later I ask him about his confusing photos.}
Dear Mr. Andrew,
I am not sure who you are in the photos there are many different people which one are you?
I am working on sending a photo to you but I have not done that ever before and am concerned about asking someone to help me as that might break the confidendiality of this transaction if they ask the wrong questions.

Lovingly, Sam Steele Tompkins

{I love it when a criminal admits they phoned the police, and still think you're serious about handing over money. Plus he now has a woman's name.}

Hello Andrea Bell,

I was just out of town and was unable to answer your email. I do not have a cell phone right now but what do you mean you tried calling and it was the wrong number? I gave you the number 1 306-786-2400 right? Who was it that answered, let me know in case there is a problem with my phone.

Sam Steele Tompkins

{I write again as it's been many days with no email. Probably he phoned the RCMP again, or his mailed package was returned as undeliverable.}
Hello Mr. Andrew Bell,
I am waiting for your call. I tried calling the number you gave me but I've never called internationally and I'm not sure my phone works for that, do I need to speak to an telephone operator?

1(306)786-2400 is supposed to be my phone number unless the phone company gave me the wrong number. Can you pls try again and let me know who answers if it's not me?
