Nigerian,
Ghanian & Other African
Scams
So, you saw Dr. Phil, eh?
Avoid ALL and every correspondence from Nigeria!!!!!
I
am NOT going to waste any time outlining these scams. They are simple
to see and simple to avoid. They have now started using other African
countries as their home. Ivory Coast, Congo, Kenya, etc. They are SO
easy to see. An amazingly beautiful, dark skin (but not too dark) from
an African nation. NO, no, no!!!
1.
$20,000,000 and you can keep 20%.
(They only want your bank details and will either get whatever you have
in there or some kind identity theft.)
2.
Transaction through YOUR bank account.
(Again, they just want your bank account number for various kinds of
illegal activity.)
3.
Beautiful girl needs any kind of help.
(Sex sells and sex scams. They use good looking girls (not real) to get
you to send money.)
4.
Cheque cashing scam.
(The FBI will knock on your door asking why you cashed a fake cheque
and YOU are held responsible.)
NEVER
give anyone your bank account number and especially anyone from Africa!
And these beautiful girls on internet dating sites are not the real
girls. Most of the ads are placed from within the USA.
Forget any ads from any
African nation with a goddess in the photo. I have not seen a real one
yet.
Here is a typical African
scammer letter...
HOW
ARE YOU TODAY?
I AM HILLARY SMITH FROM HAMPSHIRE
(SOUTHAMPTON)
UK
.
I AM PLANNING ON
RELOCATING TO YOUR COUNTRY SOON, TO
START A NEW LIFE. AND I WOULDN’T MIND IF WE
COULD BE FRIENDS SO YOU CAN SHOW ME
AROUND YOUR WONDERFUL COUNTRY AND
SERVE AS MY GUIDE. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY
LIFE STORY WITH YOU AND AT THE END, I WANT
YOU TO HELP ME OUT ON MY LITTLE PROJECT.
MY MOTHER IS BRITISH AND MY FATHER IS A
NATIVE RULER (King Louis XV) IN PORT LUIS
MAURITIUS
(UNDEVELOPED
THIRD WORLD
COUNTRY) , AN ISLAND
IN
THE INDIAN
OCEAN
REGION. I ALSO HAVE AN ELDER BROTHER
FREDRICK, WHO IS MEANT TO BE THE NEXT
RULER TO THE THRONE, HOWEVER, WE WERE NOT
BROUGHT UP THE
THIRD
WORLD WAY
,
WE WERE
BROUGHT UP THE
BRITISH
WAY ,
SO STAYING IN
MAURITIUS
WAS
LIKE HELL FOR ME AND MY
BROTHER.
SO MY MOTHER SENT US HERE ( SOUTHAMPTON
TO SCHOOL AND LIVE HERE). WHEN MY FATHER
DIED, WE GOT A CALL FROM OUR MOTHER
INFORMING US TO COME TO
MAURITIUS
SO
OUR
FATHERS BURIAL ARRANGEMENTS COULD BE
MADE, AND IT WAS ALSO TIME FOR THE NEXT
LINE OF ROYAL FAMILY TO TAKE OVER THE
MBODU THRONE.
IT WAS A VERY BAD TIME FOR MY MOTHER AND
I.
ALL WE HAD WAS TAKING FROM US, OUR LAND
PROPERTY AND MONEY, THE NEXT RULER ALSO
WANTED ME FOR A WIFE, HE ASKED MY MOTHER
TO GIVE HIM MY HAND IN MARRIAGE AND IN
RETURN HE WOULD ALLOW MY MOTHER TO
CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE PALACE. I REJECTED
SO WE WERE KICKED OUT, AND LIFE HAS BEEN
HELL FOR US EVER SINCE. I BROUGHT MY
MOTHER BACK TO
LONDON
AND
WE TRIED TO
MANAGE WHAT EVER WAS AVAILABLE. SHE WAS
59 YEARS AT THAT TIME, SHE DIED 6 YEARS
AFTER WE BROUGHT HER BACK TO LONDON, MAY
HER SOUL REST IN PEACE
WHILE IN LONDON BEFORE SHE DIED, MY
MOTHER TOLD US STORIES ABOUT OUR FATHER
AND HIS COURAGEOUS ACT, SHE ALSO TOLD US
OF SOME TREASURE WHICH HE HID BENEATH
THE PALACE, MY MOTHER TIRED SO MANY TIME
TO GO BACK AND RETRIEVE THIS TREASURE BUT
SHE FAILED BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO OLD FOR
ALL THAT. BEFORE SHE DIED SHE GAVE ME A
MAP, BUT I DIDN’T REALLY BELIEVE THE CRAP
STORY ABOUT THIS TREASURE.
NOW IT IS 10 YEARS AFTER MY MOTHER DIED
AND MY BROTHER FREDRICK JUST GRADUATED
FROM A MILITARY SCHOOL, HE CAME BACK
HOME AND PICKED UP THE MAP AND SET OUT
FOR MAURITIUS, TO MY SURPRISE HE ACTUALLY
FOUND THE TREASURE AND INFORMED ME, WE
FOUND A JEWELRY COMPANY IN THE
NEIGHBORING COUNTRY AND SOLD THE
TREASURE TO THEM FOR TEN MILLION USD.
WHILE TRYING TO GET THE FUNDS BACK TO
LONDON, WE ENCOUNTERED A VERY GREAT
PROBLEM, WITH THE LOCALS OF MAURITIUS AND
SOON THE RULER WAS INFORMED AND HE SET
OUT TO KILL US AND TAKE OUR MONEY SINCE I
WOULDNT MARRY HIM. WE HAD TO RUN FOR OUR
DARE LIFE. WE RETUNED BACK TO
LONDON
,
LOOKING
FOR
A WAY
TO GO BACK AND GET THE
MONEY.
PRESENTLY THE MONEY IS BEING KEPT SAFELY
WITH A LOCAL FARMER IN HIS FARM HOUSE, AND
WE ARE PLANNING TO GET IT TO YOUR COUNTRY
SO WE CAN START A NEW LIFE THERE, WE CANT
GO THERE AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE LOCALS AND
MAURITIUS IS MORE OR LESS A JUNGLE ON AN
ISLAND, THERE ARE NO GOOD BANKS OR
MODERNIZED WAYS OF BANKING. SO IT MAKE IT
HARD FOR US TO GET THE MONEY OUT,
WE HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH A SHIPPING
COMPANY (SEABOARD MARINES), THAT WOULD
HELP US GET THE FUNDS OUT, BUT WE NEED
YOUR HELP TOO, WE WANT TO MAKE YOU OUR
NEW BENEFICIARY TO THE FUNDS, SO THAT IT
WOULDN’T BE SUSPECTED AND WE CAN DO THIS
SAFELY WITH OUT PROBLEMS,
I AM ASSURING YOU A SAFE AND RISK FREE
PROJECT AND IM ALSO WILLING TO GIVE YOU
30% OF THE FUND FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. AND
ALSO MY LOVE FOR SAVING THE DAY. PLEASE
GET BACK TO ME VIA EMAIL SO WE CAN
DISCUSS ON THE NEXT STEP.
