The Thamesmead Grump

On the Run

If you have been wondering where I have been

for the last few weeks, I am a fugitive from the law. 

At last, my dark deeds have caught up with me and the FBI is on my case. I am such a scary person though, that they want to arrest me on line. Someone has told me that this is not a real message from the FBI but I don't want to take any chances.

Now that The Thamesmead Grump is officially 'Public Enemy No 1', I am going to have to go into hiding for a while. I have also tried another tactic which is to try and brazen it out. I don't know if this is going to get me into even more trouble though. Just look at the list of different law enforcement and other agencies that will be trying to track me down. The North Yorkshire Police are especially scary.

This is what I have received

Your Response is needed under 24hours

Attention:

This is the final warning you will receive from me. This notice has been sent to you in many occasions/ several times but you ignored it.I have warned you so many times and you decided to ignore my e-mails because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, if you fail to respond back to us with the payment details below, then
we would first send a letter to the MAYOR of the city where you reside and also direct the bank to close your account until you comply with
our directives.

Note that all your properties will be confiscated by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. We would also send a letter to the
company/organization you work for so that they could get you fired
until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not
supposed to be working for the government or any private organization.

Your ID which we have in our database has been sent to all the crimes
agencies in America for them to upload you in their website as an
internet fraudsters and a terrorist (suicide bomber). This would have
been solved all this while if you have gotten the CERTIFICATE ENDORSED

However, I have decided to see how i can be of help to you because i
would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties

fraudulent transactions. I called a private attorney that is working
with FBI office in state of New York who can help you get the process
done and he stated that he will endorse and stamp the document at the
sum of $290 only and i believe this process is cheaper for you.

You need to do everything possible to get this process done today or
tomorrow because i have been informed by the ARREST WARRANT ISSUANCE
DEPARTMENT that the warrant of arrest has been prepared against you
and once is being signed by me as the FBI DIRECTOR, and then the
arrest will be carried out in the next 72 hours. From our
investigations, we learnt that you were the person that forwarded your
identification to one impostor/ fraudster in Benin Republic when he
had a deal with you in regards to the transfer of some illegal funds
into your bank account.

We have investigated and found out that you don't have any idea when
the fraudulent deal was conducted with your information's/identity and
right now your ID is placed on our database as a wanted person. I
believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire
family. Also it will be announced in all the local channels that you
are wanted by the FBI. Note: All the crimes agencies have been

could give you 72 hours so that you can get this process done. Bear it

I have sent a reply using an alias - I hope I haven't made a big mistake

Dear Mr Robert S Mueller



How dare you write to me in that tone of voice. I will have you know 
that I am a member of the British Aristocracy and am a personal friend 
of Her Majesty the Queen. If you are claiming that I am guilty of the 
offences you claim then I suggest you furnish me with the evidence or I 
will instruct my associates in MI5 to deal with you.



My advice to you is to withdraw your wholly unjustified allegations and 
threats and agree to pay the money you owe me without delay.

I await your response

W. Featherstonhaugh esq.
I will let you all know how I get on. That's it for now.
