I'm not sure if I have been scammed!

Hi, I am new here but I need to get this out. It is important for people to know. In 2001 I opened an email containing a plea for help from a owner of a diamond mine. I never knew of scams back then as I was new to the internet. I (stupidly) agreed to do it and sent them some money through western union. Then charges kept on coming up and in 2005 I had enough. I was dealing with the Barrister Ahmed Bello from Ivory Coast. I gave up but my mother decided to carry on sending money without telling the family. On Thursday I found out she was still sending money to them and if she did not send £1250 pounds she and the family would be arrested by the FBI. She has had email from the FBI, Interpol and others with threats and asking for more charges. They sent her a bank cash card but need hundred of pounds to unlock it. I have contacted the bank and they have no knowledge of it and the card has no chip or magnetic strip so I know it is fake. I have kept as much emails I can as I may need them. But I don't trust my mother to keep sending money to them and believe she is in secret contact with them. The Email addresses I Have listed are:

[email protected] used by Ahmed Bello
[email protected] used by Barrister Linda, a new player in the game
[email protected] Used by Minister Ben Ezolu, also anew player
[email protected] Used (allegedly) by the bank of Africa. I checked and they never used that address. It is based in Redmond WA by Microsoft Corporation
[email protected] used by the FBI to send threats. They are located in Israel, Rishon Leziyyon, Hamerkaz
[email protected] Used by the FBI headquarters but are located in Sunnyvale, California


Thanks for listening and anyone who is in contact with these people must watch out

It is a scam - no legitimate job involves receiving funds to your personal bank account. They are going to involve you in fraud and money laundering and when it is discovered, it will be you that the authorities are investigating.

You need to contact your bank's fraud department urgently and explain what has happened before any fraudulent funds are deposited in your account.

Please also post the details of any other email addresses and websites that the scammers used.
