Date of Birth 10th March, 1965 (50 yo)
from San Antonio, Texas
Catholic
Widowed, wife died 4 years ago due to sickness.
2 kids, Son, 10yo, daughter 7yo. Are with their guardian in San Antonio, Texas.

1) The victim suddenly had friend request from the scammer, and started communicating with him.
2) He told her that he is in Afghanistan, and have 2 kids in Texas, wife died 4 years ago.
3) The scammer explained that due to security regulation officers and soldiers are not allowed to use video chat. So the Skype chat was always voice only for his side, and the victim used to appear on video.
4) Then developed into a relation. The scammer always talked about marriage.
5) The scammer said he will complete his assignment in Afghanistan in December this year, then wants to visit the victim’s country to meet her.
6) The scammer said he has large amount of fund which he has been earned for years of time, and kept in brief case. He is intended to ask UN Diplomatic Service to bring the brief case to the victim. He has no other family member he can trust to ask this. The legal recipient is the victim herself so that no other people can open the brief case. He wants victim to keep the brief case with her until he visit her in January.
7) The guy also said that the UN diplomatic service is used by his colleagues in US base too, so that the service is reliable and his colleague’s consignments arrived to their destinations without any problems.
8 ) The victim believed him and filled in her personal information to the fake UN’s form. Then Elmer Franklin told her that the brief case has been passed to the diplomat called Andre Joaquim Lucia(Phone 00233-231-776-706, email [email protected]). Then the diplomat Andre was stuck at airport in Accra, Ghana during transit to fly to the victim’s country. The Ghana government asked Andre for certification documents regarding to the brief case.
9) Ghana government asked the victim to pay for documentation of the certification and insurance documents to release the diplomat at the airport.
Then the victim paid him through Western Union.
 1st request USD 1,800
 2nd request USD 3,000
 3rd request USD 1,500
Elmer, claims to be in Afghanistan, said to the victim several times, that after the brief case arrives to her, then she can open the box and take the money she had paid for him from there. And she believed that.

But then, victim recalled some suspicious points she thought about Elmer, and the certification documents, etc. and then she came to aware that she was being scammed.

10) Elmer said that in order to fly to the victim’s country, need to get rid of very strict regulations. Therefore, another UN Diplomat (Alexander Banneker) flew from USA to Ghana to assist Andre. So that Andre said that this is going to be the last payment.

During the last interaction with the scammer, the amount she was told was;
USD 19,000

11) Elmer still tries to contact her using Skype and Facebook, and calling her to her cell and house phone number. UN Diplomat Andre call her almost daily, and email her. She decided to change her contact information in order to block the contacts from scammers as advised by me.
