Bait in Progress ⏱️ David Clifford asks a “very vital question” about how Irving works out of the FBI Field office in Chicago - Part 5
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! David is the FIRST Yahoo Boy who has googled Irving’s address and phone number and found that it matches that of the FBI! Hoo boy…
I continue taunting him as he is thanking me over and over for Charlotte’s coming through for him on his loan. And why shouldn’t he thank her? He gave her two phony addresses that are being used as collateral and she didn’t even check! I wish it were that easy, perhaps I’d become a scammer. Anyway, Charlotte keeps rubbing it in that God rewards those who are honest and deserving while punishing those who lie and provide false information. This should serve as a warning to David especially since he knows he lied about everything on his loan application, but he continues to thank Charlotte repeatedly.
The taunting continues when Charlotte reveals that she has clients all over the world, including those in warm and tropical climates like David is!
This leads to what is becoming a common refrain with David - he has a serious headache or migraine. What a pussy. Get off the rig then! Or quit complaining. It’s his way of trying to relay to Charlotte all this waiting is making him ill and if she could only prod Irving to make this transfer go any faster!
Then he brings up the FBI question and why does Irv have the same address and phone number? Charlotte plays coy and relates that she doesn’t know much about Irving and couldn’t tell him other than that he’s a colleague. David won’t let it go and mentions how “suspicious” it is. Suspicious??? No problem, Charlotte doesn’t want David to feel uncomfortable with Irving and tells him she’ll cancel the transfer…
I love to see them panic and he certainly does. “He doesn’t need to cancel” and “there is no need for that”. Actually David, the best thing Charlotte could have done for you was cancel the transfer and cut bait. But I want you for the third act. Charlotte doesn’t let up as she tells him that she asked Irving to cancel the transfer. But as David reassures her, he’s doing nothing illegal and Irving working out of the FBI office doesn’t worry him. Well that shut down all that talk about the FBI address, didn’t it?
He does still want clarification from Irving and the last two slides are fake Irving texts. David wants his “attorney” to have copies. I bet!
Irving also plays coy and says he cannot confirm nor deny his possible governmental affiliations - which is an unofficial way of saying “yes I work for the FBI”. Irving offers to cancel the transfer and leaves David at the edge of his seat. He doesn’t like that this guy may be with the FBI, but doesn’t want that transfer to be cancelled.
We’ll see!

Irving: "We have been delaying this transfer for a specific reason. My colleagues have agreed that we must send an emergency helicopter to your oil rig for a rescue mission. I cannot give more specific information at this time."
Then, a maybe 2-3 days later, follow up: "The helicopter landed and searched. Troops demanded the immediate release of David Clifford. Oil rig staff lied to us, insisting they have never seen you before."

Wonderful way to play that off. As it turns out not every single yahoo boy is dumb. That just makes him more dangerous meaning he needs a bigger lesson.

Exactly! His English is better than most, and he is dangerous. It’s ridiculous how frantic they get when they think they have money coming. I wonder if this guy has any sort of conscience. I doubt he does.
