Hi aakashbinyounas and welcome

Yes, it's an absolutely typical next of kin scam - late father's money, refugee. Notice that the bank email addresses are inmail24 and gmail, free email addresses. Real banks have their own email addresses.

The same phone number is used by this scammer here:

http://419.bittenus.com/8/4/TinaSunny.html

100% scam, I have received the same email in my catcher account.

(Catcher account= An email account that scambaiters use for the purpose of soliciting emails from scammers.)

Hi aakashbinyounas.

As has already been said, yes, that is a scam email. You should assume that any email you receive that purports to be from a refugee who has wealth she/he needs help with is a scam email.

These emails are unfortunately common. I did a search for "Scam letter refugee senegal" and got all of these results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sc ... l&aq=f&oq=

I'm glad you posted this here. You can be alerted about the scam in time to prevent you from losing your money and your post here may help prevent someone else from falling for the scammer!

How are you today?.
I believe you are doing well.
My dear thing are very bad for me here in the refugee camp
where i am living today. My height is 5.6ft, 60kg weight, and 24years old, I was first year student in the university studying law before the ugly incident that killed my parents that put me in this horrible place i found myself toady with painful experience and agony of life. My parents were crashed in cold blood. This place is like a prison and an ordinary place to dwell. I thank God for the pastor of Christ the king church located in the camp where i send and receive your emails and his name is (Reverend Pastor Peter Anthony ) and he just like a father to me as i became close to him during one of his visitation to the clinic when i was sick. You can call me in his office with this number (+221773716922) so that i can talk with you,when you call please tell him that you want to speak with me so that he can send for me from the females hostel to talk with you. Dear i don't have any relatives now whom i can live with the only person i have now is (Reverend Pastor Peter Anthony ) My dear i will like you to help me come over to meet with you in your country for a better life as my health is going down daily here due to the poor condition of the camp where i am living.

My dear please there one other thing i will like you to do for me as i need some body who will assist me due to my refugee status here in Senegal. Before the death of my father in 2008,he deposited a sum of ($6.6 million) Six million six hundred thousand dollar in leading bank in Europe which my name appears as the next of kin. Already i have informed the bank about my plans to claim this money but the bank told me to look for a foreign partner who will assist me in the claim due to my refugee status here in Senegal. As a refugee i don't have a direct claim over the money but can only have it through an appointed representative. So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone because i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it. Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i deposed on you. I like honest and understanding people,truthful and a man of vision, truth and hardworking. Please my dearest love i will like to know your willingness to assist me in this claim so that i can give you the full contact of the bank in Europe for you to contact them for verification and confirmation.

I will however i appreciate if you can call me with this telephone number
(+221773716922) in the church office located in the refugee camp so that i can
tell you more about what i am going through. When you call,please tell (Reverend Pastor Peter Anthony ) that you want to speak with me so that he will send for me from the females hostel to talk with you. God bless you as you help me out from here,
Monika.

My dearest,
How is your health and your work? I believe it is wonderful. But it would have been better with me on your side.
My dear things are very bad for me here in the refugee camp where i am living today. I was a first year student in the university studying law before the ugly incident that killed my parents that put me in this horrible place i found myself today.
This place is like a prison as we are only allowed to go out on Mondays and Friday of the week as given by the united nation refugee camp rules and regulation here in Senegal . I thank God for the pastor of Christ the king church located in the camp where i send and receive emails. We are given only fifteen minutes to check our mails, as i am using the computer there are so many refuges here who want to use the computer.
My dear i will like you to help me to come to your place to meet with you in your country for a better life as my health is going down daily here due to the poor condition of the camp where i am living.
My dear please there is one other thing i will like you to do for me as i need some body who will assist me due to my refugee status here in Senegal. Before the death of my father, he deposited a sum of $2.7 million dollars in one bank which my name appears as the next of kin.
Already i have informed the bank about my plans to claim this money but the bank told me to look for a foreign partner who will assist me in the claim due to my refugee status here in Senegal . As a refugee i don’t have a direct claim over the money but can only have it through an appointed representative.

God bless you as you help me out from here,

jessica.


....... I've been emailing this scammer since 2010 LOL - just thought I would come on here and post it for others to see the scam.

Thanks for posting that SomersetGal, the more info on scammers we have, the more victims we can help.

I will again point out that baiting scammers from your real address is not the best idea. Obviously if you want to, that's your choice, but it seems like a pointless risk to take. You can set up a dedicated baiting addy in 30 seconds.

Welcome here vanieken.

Yes, that is definatly a scam! First of all the +4470 phone number is a re-direct number, which will divert your call to anywhere in the world, probably to a west African country. Also, travel agencies don't arrange visa and work permits, a travel agency can only be used for booking flight tickets, IF one is not writing to a scammer. The next step this scammer will make is to ask you to pay the fees for processing the non existent documents, and should be payd by using western union or money gram. A real travel agency would never use them! Could you please post some more e mails this scammer has send you, and with the e mail addresses clearly visible? And preferably with the full headers. If you don't know how to get the headers, just ask. The scammer could be using some new e mail addresses.
