International Scam

468 views. 2011-4-16 14:21

    Several days ago, I received an email from a girl who saw my profile at DioEnglish.com and would like to have a good friendship with me. The girl, Florence Bouba, from Cote D’Ivore, who is residing at the N’dioum refugee camp in Dakar Senegal as the result of the civil war out of political crisis going on in her country. According to her second email, she told me that she was a medical student reading nursing before the incident. Her father, Dr Fredrick Bouba, the personal adviser to the former head of state (Robert Guei) in Cote D’Ivore, was killed alongside with his wife on one early morning by the attack which came from the rebels. And now she was making her to Senegal as a refugee by the help of the Red Cross Society.

    After I replied her I got the third email sent by her. She told me about her current situation that without money, freedom, food and relatives as a refugee in that country. However, she said she has her late father’s statement of an account and death certificate and her father had deposited some amount of money in leading bank which he used her name as the next of kin when he was alive. The amount is $3.7 million dollars. She asked me for helping her withdraw the money. But, because of the relevant provision, she said she needs a trustee as regards to the money. She promised to give me a large of money if I help her and what she wants now is to leave that place and then migrate. At last, she requested me to contact with her lawyer through the Tel number she gave if I’m will to assist her.

    Seeing here, perhaps you will sympathize with her and do her a favor. But indeed, the whole thing is a fraud, an international fraud. Later, I found similar incidents on the internet. I didn’t realize they are organized international swindlers until this time. They send many emails to the people from every country every day, saying that they are the relatives of some senior officials, and they can’t get the huge assets immediately which lead by some reasons. So they need help. It’s the old routine of these cheaters.

    What surprised me is there are so many people around the world caught in the international scam. Among them is a 73-year-old professor, a retired university teacher from somewhere in China, who lost 63 thousand dollars while helping an exotic beauty “transfer” 530 million U.S. dollars heritage. Currently there are many similar Internet frauds so that we should always guard ourselves not to be deceived.

    My dear friends, I hope this article would do a little help for you since I share it here. Have a lovely day. Thanks!

You are right, even business people got cheated by them because of greed. These cheaters are now using newer tricks. Do you think if is good to cheat them back to teach them a lesson?

Oh, come on. Cheating them back does not mean taking money or anything from them. I mean cheating them to fall into the net of police or interpol.

I have the ability to do that and if I receive an email like this anytime, I would immediately report it to the internet crime office and they would deal with them.
