At the beginning of our communications, I was being asked for an upfront fee of $2,500 U.S. dollars to start preparing all the paperwork legally, including the government stamp. I did not had that money, so I begain killing myself looking for someway to find that amount thinking that htis was serious. so, I went to the Bank for a loan. They approved it. After changing it the same day, I ran to Western Union following their instructions(name, address.etc.) You will see all copies soon.
After they received the money, communication through telephone and mail went on. They, would then, wait a few days to tell you that the "bank chief" would help me with all the bank procedures for the clearance of the fund. Then He too would ask for money, big amount too. If my mind don't fail me, it was about another $2,000 or $5,000. You'll see the copies soon. Then, i had to ask my dad and my grandma to help me. They went and did the loan too. After they said that the funds were ready to go out, they came up with the story that the "Drug & Anti-terrorism Law Enforcement" put a "STOP" to the clearance certificate. they emailed me the big STOP stamped on the certificate. You know!, to play with my head, making things look so real.
Then, I called the man, and he would do a little drama saying: "Oh, No! This can't be happening" I will go to find out what is going on". He made me call him back, so I called him. He told me over the phone that the only way they could let the money go is to stamp another form from their offices, and that it would cost $15,000. When he told me that, I felt as if my heart would stop right there. It was too much! I was troubling my head thinking: "Now, my finace would help me with this one?" I did a try at asking him. At first he was so skeptical, then he decided to give me $10,000 and at the same time he was testing how true this matter could be. Well, I called the man again and told him that it was getting really tight for me to find that amount of money and that I could only send him $10,000.. And, he was caring less of my stress. All he would say is : "Keep trying my dear, God will provide you the other $5,000" Then, I kept him waiting on that one. Around One month and a half passed by. In that time he would wake me at 3 a.m. my time. I was having trouble sleeping due to all this nightmare. When they saw time was extending that they didn't see money coming in to them, they bring someone else in the story. He was making himself appear as the president of the ECOWAS banks. He was doing his drama too by telling me that the other men were extracting money from me, and that he would only aske me for $200.00 to transfer the money to U.K.
Later on, at the seventh month, my father and my fiance saw strange that up to that date they were having truoble sending the money to U.S. My fince said that they were deceiving me. This put me to think hard on this. I So, I decided to go on the search engines to look up informations on FRAUD. I discovered so many tricks these West Africans use to tie you up in a way that you can't loose out from them that easy. The more they tie you up, the more they will vacuum your pocket and your little saved money will be ZERO by then.
In these sites, I found government addresses -Postal and Web. When I visited the site www.crimes-of-persuation.com & www.419, I saw a section about fake websites. Immediately, I jumped to the site they gave me in U.K. www.internationalbankafric.com. The page opened blanked out with a message "This is a Fraudulent Site" Also, I received the response from an agency in U.K telling me that that bank have never existed nor does it exist in their government's Bank Registry. This is how I proved on my own that my fiance was right, these people are fraudsters. Hey, I got terribly angry and emailed them telling them on their face that I found out that message in the site they gave me. They responded me by phone shocked at how they got unmasked, they kept telling me that there should be a mistake. and that maybe they are being confused with other fraudsters. The man told me that he was going to find out what was going on. Drama, drama,and lies.
To make the story short, they ripped me off nearly $40,000 in a period of 7 months hassling by butt like hungry cannibals. I kept doing searches on the web and kept finding so many examples of real letters submitted by many victims like me. I don't remember quite clear which government site I visited with the explanation and information about Frauds. I found that West African states did not wanted to sign some contract or agreement that consisted in fighting money laundering and terrorism. Anyway, No U.K. and U.S. with their territories accept any incoming merchandise (related with money, drug, etc.) from these African states -western.
So I ended the story myself at simply not answering them anymore. They got tired writing and calling. If I continued answering them, they would keep vacuuming my pocket and the story would never end. So I ended it myself.
NOTES: When these people don't see money from you , they won't leave you at peace trying to compromise or tie you with words so that you won't give up on them that easy. They like to pressure you. They won't let you sleep at the middle of the night.
I HOPE THIS TESTIMONY CAN HELP YOU IN SOME WAY. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SHARE THIS BAD EXPERIENCE, SO THAT OTHERS CAN BE AWARE AND PREVENT THEMSELVES FROM FALLING INTO THESE FRAUDULENT GAMES. AND THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY VICTIMS, DO AS I AM PRESENTLY DOING. DO A LOT OF RESEARCH, KEEP YOURSELF INFORMED; LOAD YOUR MIND OF INFORMATION. THIS PRACTICE WILL HELP YOU A LOT FROM BECOMING A VICTIM FOR THE 2ND TIME.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING A LITTLE TIME TO READ MY TESTIMONY.
This page is not completed. I will be showing you the Western Union receipts and Email Letters soon.
