To whoever may be reading this I DESPERATELY need your help. I have a christian sister dear to my heart who is a VICTIM of 419 scam. The scam has been on for 2years plus now and is still on going.
I have researched the details of the scam and have confronted her, showed her proof that she's a victim of a scam but she wont bulge. I showed her several cases both in video and print of this particular type of scam -one of the oldest in the book. She promised me she wont send any more money to the scammers but goes behind me to send them even more money and even told them what I told her !! I have come to the conclusion that the only way to help her is if these scammers are arrested and their operation is smashed.
The scammers started with the VICTIM's brother who met a "christian" girl from a Christian singles dating network around late 2005 early 2006. The girl says she's from Sierra Leone and her dead father left an inheritance of US$22million for her in a bank in Ivory Coast. Due to war she's now living in a refugee camp in Ghana. She promised to marry the brother and ask him to help her as she's a novice in finance and have no international passport/connection to move around. The brother obliged and has spent his life savings and borrowed huge amount of money for chemicals to clean the alleged INHERITANCE and security storage payments/bogus documents. Cut the story short the brother who is diabetic died in a hotel room in Germany in April '07when he went to conclude the business. Only God knows what happened in that hotel room -because the police did not find any document relating to the inheritance in the man's luggage.
Few weeks after the burial the scammer contacted the sister and gave her the details of the inheritance scheme and how far she and her dead brother had gone, pleading that she help conclude the scheme. She took over and has spent fortune on documents and certificates -she's massively in debt right now and there's no end in sight. As I am writing this she's due to send even more money by tomorrow Monday 13th July '09.
The VICTIM and the scammers do not know that I have all the details I have now. I have details (phone, email, names, western union and moneygram numbers etc) to help any law enforcement agents track the scammers and arrest them. The scammers are so relaxed because the VICTIM is so naive. They keep using Christian language and bible words in their correspondent and conversation with her. The most painful thing is the VICTIM sincerely believe she's dealing with fellow Christian and keeps praying and fasting with them.
I have no idea how to go about contacting the police because the scam is wide -the VICTIM lives in Canada, the scammer (the girl who started it all) and a male accomplice live in Accra, Ghana, the bogus US$22million inheritance was allegedly transferred from a bank in Ivory coast to a security company in Germany, a bank account was opened in Spain. These are places where the victim has visited and sent money. I will highly appreciate any solid and effective advise and links to law enforcement that anyone can render.
I hesitate to release names and details on because I have learnt that even the scammers visit sites such as this.
