(( hmm, no one interested in participating? I'll give this one more try.... ))

Dear Mr Ukoku,
It is indeed a surprise to receive such a surprising message from you. I have not heard about your father but it sure sounds like he was a good man.
I am very interested in participating in your scheme, but my Security Level is very low and I would not want to attract the attention of Portal Corp. Please fill me in with details and how you would carry this out under the nose of Portal Corp's watchful eyes.
Regards,
Captain Amazor.

Captain Amazor took a deep breath, sighed and then clicked the "Send" button. His eyes closely followed the progress bar as it filled up to 100%. Then, he got up, switched off the monitor and went to take a quick shower before going out to meet a contact at Kings Row.
(( edit: For reference material, you can refer to www.geocities.com/scamjokepage/ but please try to keep Captain Amazor as the gullible fool who'll get in trouble later in the story, assuming that this kicks off... lol ))
OOC: links do not work don't try them our just wasting your time.

He cant be this dumb the moron its even logged on and has no firewall and never changed the admin password. Well say hello to 16 million inf, now say goodbye. But thats ok you wont be lonely long I am sure the PCPD will make room for you after they find out that the influence belonged to Grep. Now that Grep is dead I am sure those morons at the PCPD will think you did it. You were the last one to touch his influence before it got transferred out of country.
Come back here A woman with her arms tied behind her back and a blindfold on started running across the room. Your gonna hurt your self you cant even see where your going. The woman stumbled around the room. Then she replied you evil ******* you killed him. Yes that I did and I told you to be quite the man behind the computer rose to his feet and smacked her across face. She stumbled backward tripping over a pair of dress shoes. She jaunted backwards trying to re-gain her balance then fell out of an open window. Dam, You dumb bunny, Hope you can fly I was saving you for later. the man screamed at her as she disappeared out the window. Well guess that is my cue to leave. He typed one last command and began to walk out the door. He stopped and looked at the now lifeless body of Grep that was lying on the bed. Nice apartment Grep sorry I cant stay longer. Then he calmly walked out.
OOC: I haven't played a villian in a long time hope it works for you. Grep was a well loved level 50 hero he will be sorely missed. If i were you i would make sure the PCPD finds you before some heroes do. Oh and for all you want to be hackers this stuff is only very losely based in fact don't try any of the stuff here i assure you it will either not work or get you caught.
Hihi, this is my first post in these part of the forums, just wanted to try out something a little different...
"You have one new unread e-mail."
"Hurm..." Captain Amazor clicked on the new entry and waited for the e-mail message to appear on screen.

URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED
This may come to you as a surprise and you may find it strange but after much searching, my associates have finally deemed it necessary that we contact you out of a most urgent business proposal.
I am Dr Nabu Ukoko, son of the late Dr Kubo Nokuku whom is actually The Masked Deflector and I share this greatest secret with you because of the most urgent proposal that I am about to tell you and I require your most utmost attentin and secrecy on this matter that I trust you will agree on.
My father was investigating a very secret conspiracy in Portal Corp when he was found out and disposed of by Portal assassins and have since destroyed all assets and property owned by my late father.
But unknown to them, he has a deposit sum of sixteen million (16000000) Influence kept hidden in the Paragon National Trust which I indend to obtain to fund further investigations and revenge against my father's adversaries.
However, the evil Portal Corp has spies everywhere and I am unable to approach the situation for fears of alerting Portal agents. Therefore I approach you with utmost secrecy to assist me with this business proposal.
This transaction is 100% safe and Portal Corp will not know about your part in this business transaction. Your part will be to help most ugently expedite the Influence into an account which you will provide and then transfer to my business account which will be under a different name of my secret identity unto which you will receive a sum of THIRTY PERCENT of the said amount for your services.
I must then emphasize that this operation or transaction is highly confidential and is to be kept as such.
If this proposal is of interest you, please provide me with private phone and fax numbers, and you can call me on this my phone number for more details.
Thank you,
Yours faithfully
Dr Naboo Ukoku

Captain Amazor stared at the message for a moment, and then smiled. He's been in a rut for a while and could use all the Influence that he can get.
"Thirty percent of sixteen million! That's more than..... uhh.... five million Influence! That's more than enough to bag all the enhancements that I need at Steel Canyon once Blue Steel approves my Security Level 13 pass next week. What a chance of a lifetime!!!"
Captain Amazor silently sat in front of the keyboard for a moment, and then clicked on the Reply button and began to type...
Note: I do realise that Influence is just an abstract measure of wealth in CoH, but since it is treated as hard cash in-game for obtaining Enhancements, I thought I'd just stick to the same term rather than try substituting it for something more "real"....
