Hello, my name is Olivier and I am specifically addressing this message to Jeff.
I received an email from a so-called heiress from Abidjan and upon visiting the website, I realized I wasn't the only one.
I must confess that I hesitated, and seeing on the site the same letters that I received with a different name, there must be danger even though I don't see where the scam could be if precautions are taken.
I am sending you the message.
Best regards
From Julieth William
Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Dear,
Allow me to inform you of my desire to enter into a business relationship with you. I found your email address in the directory of your country and after some days of prayer, I chose your name among others and I trust that I
can do business with you. I should not hesitate to confide in you for these simple and sincere matters.
My name is Julieth William, I am 22 years old and the only daughter of the late Mr. Robert William and Mrs. William. My father was very wealthy and a cocoa trader in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned by his business associates during one of their outings to discuss a cocoa deal. Before my father's death on January 24, 2003 in a private clinic (PISAM) here in Abidjan, he called me to his bedside in the clinic and told me that he had an amount (USD 7,500,000 American dollars) in a blocked account in a local bank here in Abidjan, and he confirmed to me that I am the heiress of the money in the bank and he explained to me that this was the reason he was poisoned by his business associates and that I
should seek a partner in a country of my choice where I would transfer this money and use it for investment purposes (like investing in industry and property management).
Sir, I am honorably seeking your help in the following ways:
1) Provide me with a bank account where this money can be transferred.
2) Be my guardian because I know nothing about managing funds.
3) Make arrangements for me to come to your country and ensure my education.
4) And to open an account for me in your country where these funds will be transferred.
You can indicate your option to help me conclude this transfer and I hope that within seven days the transaction will be concluded. However, I offer you 15% for your involvement and your reward as soon as the transfer is completed.
Looking forward to your favorable response

Hello,
There have been plenty of emails like this for several months.
If you have an option in your messaging, you can report it as phishing or spam.
That's pretty much all we can do.
Have a great day!

Signed, me :)

LOL I’ve received that nonsense too, haha, but with a different name. It’s definitely spam. For me, it was about a safe, etc... it came from the same country.
I saw in the best of "Sans aucun doute" that a rather naive woman was tricked and she spent €120,000!!!!!!!!
I received a message in the same style from kouakou_sophie@yahoo.fr, judge for yourself:
Hello
sorry to come to you this way but it is the only way I can use to communicate my current situation to you, please accept my apologies. I obtained your contact information on the Internet, among many other names and given the delicacy of my concern I can only take the risk of confiding in you. In my case, I must not hesitate to confide in you for these simple and sincere matters. I am KOUAKOU SOPHIE, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. KOUAKOU, my father was associated with other partners and it was following a business trip that he was poisoned by these associates because he was the one most seen with the large contracts he managed to sign with farmers in our country as he is from the forest region. My mother died when I was very young and since then, my father took care of me with care. Before my father's death in 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me to his side and told me that he has the sum of nineteen million, fifty thousand American dollars [USD ($19,050,000)] in a package that bears my name as the beneficiary in a security company. He then asked the company to transfer this package to Europe. But this security company does not know the content of this package as he made this deposit as personal belongings of our family. All the documents of this deposit are with me. And he explained to me that it is for this sum that he was poisoned by these associates, and that I should seek a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I should transfer this money and use it to invest in other activities. Dear, I am honorably seeking your help in the following ways:
(1) to help me recover the package from the company and transfer it diplomatically to your country.
(2) To serve as a guardian of these funds since I am young and I am only 26 years old.
(3) To make arrangements for me to come to your country to continue my studies or for you to help me obtain a residency permit in your country. I am also willing to offer you 15% of the total amount for your effort, after the successful transfer of these funds to your account. Please let me know your options to help me while this transaction is concluded in less than fourteen (14) days.
Sincerely yours.

My sincere greetings and apologies to you.
First of all, I would like to apologize for intruding into your private life. In short, my name is Mrs. KOUAKOU SOPHIE, Executive in the Accounting Department at BICICI - Côte d'Ivoire. An account was opened at our bank in 1987 and since 1992, no transactions have been made. This account currently shows in our books a credit balance of €4.5 million Euros. After meticulously reviewing all the archives and documents related to this account, I realized that I could easily dispose of this money if I managed to transfer it to an account abroad, so I am looking for a discreet and honest partner. The account holder passed away following a traffic accident and he is an expatriate. And, to this day, no one knows about the existence of this account. This account has no other beneficiaries either in his family or in his former company.
I would like to transfer this money to a safe account abroad, but I do not know anyone outside. I saw your site on the internet, and I would like you to help me transfer this money to invest in your field or buy real estate, and that is how the idea came to me to contact you and propose to transfer this amount to your bank account, for sharing, that is to say, equal parts.
I am aware that this message may surprise you as we did not know each other before, but be assured that this is a genuine opportunity that I am offering you.
If my proposal interests you, please contact me at my address sophie_kouakou11@yahoo.fr
I ask you to respond as quickly as possible to the address above.
Very fraternally

HELLO EVERYONE, Here is the email I received:
Private Email: sophie_kouakou1975@yahoo.fr
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise, given
that we have never met. Rest assured that I have good intentions. I am Mrs. Kouakou Sophie Brigitte, I am an accountant at a BANK in Abidjan. During our research at the bank towards the end of last year 2005, I found the huge amount
of nine million dollars (4.5 million US dollars) that has been deposited in a
frozen account since 1987. From a thorough investigation, the results
showed that the funds were deposited by a foreigner who is
now deceased, following a plane crash in 1999. Since then
the account has remained unclaimed by anyone. In this regard,
I humbly seek your help and cooperation to enter as
the beneficiary of these funds and to apply for the claim for
our mutual benefit. Rest assured that the entire process will be overseen by me until you receive these funds in your account.
After which it should be shared as follows: 45% for you, 5% for
all expenses incurred during this transfer, and 50% for me.
Be assured that this transfer is 100% risk-free as all
arrangements for the transfer of these funds will be made within 10 working days. Furthermore, this transaction should be treated with the utmost
confidentiality while I am still in service. If you are
ready and interested in this matter with me, you can contact me
by my email which will allow us to discuss more seriously. Thank you
for your cooperation.

There's a site that talks about it too
http://www.nospy.info/mc/content/view/86/58/
But here it's PRINCESS NAFISA lol
Also
They attempted to win 20% of the 12 million...
http://www.nospy.info/mc/content/view/49/37/
Anyway, if you have too much cash, call me :)
On the other hand, this site has found a solution to fight against this type of scam...

Which terminology sounds better,
for the new Macs on Intel: mac4intel or intel4mac?

Here is an example of an email I also received from Miss Florence Kouassi from Ivory Coast who inherited from her wealthy father thanks to cocoa.
Do you think you will ever stop copying/pasting all your spam on CCM????
That's enough, everyone understands that it was a scam, no need to add more!
What’s the point? This is crazy!

Bonjour, c'est autre chose. C'est un certain Monsieur Boissonnade Bernard qui m'a contacté par email car j'avais mis une annonce sur Le Bon Coin que je cherchais une maison à louer avec jardin. Bref, cet homme me paraît très confiant car il m'a envoyé des photos de sa maison ainsi que sa carte d'identité et le cadastre du plan. Mais dans son annonce, il me dit qu'il a 5 chambres alors que sur le plan, j'en vois que 4. Bref, je ne prête pas trop attention à tout ça en parlant avec lui car il me donne son numéro de téléphone portable. Je l'appelle et il me dit qu'il est en Afrique pour son travail. Donc, il me raconte un peu sa vie, en me disant que sa femme travaillait pour la Croix-Rouge et qu'elle a été tuée en Amérique et qu'il loue cette maison car il ne peut plus vivre dedans. Mais j'ai remarqué que cette maison avait dans le jardin beaucoup de jeux d'enfants. Donc, sans qu'il s'en aperçoive, je lui pose la question s'il avait des enfants. Il me répond qu'il avait un garçon et qu'il est mort très jeune. Donc voilà, déjà un peu de doute, mais bon, je tenais à avoir cette maison. Mais voilà qu'il me dit que je dois lui envoyer 300 euros pour son retour. Je lui dis que je suis une femme seule qui élève 2 enfants, que je n'ai pas d'argent. Il s'est excusé en me disant qu'il n'aurait pas dû demander cet argent. Bref, donc très contente qu'il me comprenne. Puis tout à coup, voilà qu'il m'annonce qu'une autre personne est très intéressée par son annonce et que cette personne va lui envoyer de l'argent pour qu'il puisse rentrer en France. Donc, très déçue de sa réaction, je lui dis que je vais lui envoyer cet argent avant elle. Alors il me dit de lui envoyer aujourd'hui même l'argent en Western Union. Je pense bien que c'est une arnaque. Si vous êtes dans la même situation que moi, écrivez-moi s'il vous plaît. Merci.
I received the same message; for my part, I didn't reply and marked it on my computer as a phishing attempt. I'm also looking for a site to report these fraudulent emails without success. It's a shame because how can we stop these scams if it's impossible to come together for that? Above all, don't reply, and hang in there; you'll have others.
Hello Marie,
There is an association that fights against those scammers from West Africa: https://www.avenfrance.org/
Yes, we need to come together so that the authorities become aware of the scale of the phenomenon, starting by signing the petition that has been put online: Petition against West African Scams
Thank you for your support

for my part I was looking for a loan of 30,000 euros and that same person (well, the same name) contacted me saying that he would be okay to give me this loan at 4.5% interest
he asks me for documents including 1 bank account statement, but no address
of course, I'm going to investigate because I find this a bit strange and I told him that okay, I would give him all these documents but in front of a notary!!!
no response today!! so is it a scam or not a scam???? to be continued.......

Hello pupuce5912,
I also came into contact with supposedly the sister-in-law of Mr. Boisonnade. I wanted to buy a vehicle on Le Bon Coin; it was a very good deal, so I contacted the person by email. A woman replied to me that she was selling because her husband had just passed away and that she was abroad with her baby for the mourning period. She specified that I needed to get in touch with Mr. Boissonnade Bernard either by email (with a misspelled address bearing his name) or by phone (with a number at 00 22 99 9164 480), which was incoherent since he lived in the 45. I replied by email to get more details, and she told me that this Mr. had a problem with his operator, so he had a number starting with 0022... I also received photos of the vehicle that had no defects and looked like new, but the year was different from the site (3 years older). I also called the number on the site, which started with 06, and it was not the right person. A warning to those who read this message, be very careful online; if the person tells you they're abroad or shares their life story in detail, just walk away!

Hello,
It's even worse for me; he sends me emails about a car he was supposed to sell to me. I don't even know if that vehicle exists, so I’m in the same situation as you. He convinced me, but once I sent him the money via Western Union, I didn't see the vehicle. He told me it had been seized by customs for non-compliance with the insurance, and that I had to send him a recharge and money so he could pay for it. So today, I have neither the money nor the vehicle. Please don't let yourself be scammed. Once I filed a complaint, he told me he would refund me, but I don’t really believe him. If anyone else has fallen victim to him, please respond to me.
Thank you very much, and don't trust things that come from West Africa. However, I am Moroccan, but it's not North or South Africa; it's West Africa.

Hello,
I had the same thing with a car sale. I'm just adding the name Soffi Palisse since I stumbled upon your discussion by "googling" bernard boisonnade... So if this can help others find these two names, let's go for it! There are scams on the internet, but it also allows us to thwart them!
Good luck to everyone...

Hello,
I too almost fell into the trap of that famous Bernard Boissonnade. I responded to one of his ads regarding a villa rental in the town of Lamentin in Martinique. He also asks me to send him a cash mandate of €750 for his daughter to come from mainland France to show me the villa!!!! I started to have doubts!!! Then I typed Boissonnade into Google, and thank you because thanks to your testimonies, I avoided the worst!!!!! Beware of those who are in contact with him!!!!! The scammer is still lurking!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I live on the island of Reunion and I saw an ad on leboncoin for the rental of a furnished F3 apartment of 92m2 with photos, posted by a certain Mr. BOISSONNADE Bernard. He told me that he is traveling in mainland France for work and that he is in a wheelchair. He said I need to make a cash mandate of €600 so that he can send his daughter to Reunion to show me the apartment and hand over the keys. I find this very suspicious; already €600 for an F3 of 92m2 in downtown Saint-Denis is unheard of in Reunion, plus water and electricity included. However, I still sent my documents for him to review my application because we urgently need an apartment, but I plan to respond and tell him that he is a big scammer and that I will report him. I can't tolerate things like this; my partner and I understood right away, but if he encounters someone more naive, that person will get scammed.
I just read all your comments... so I'm a bit bummed out, I've just sent an email to Mr. Boissonnade to check out a deal that seemed interesting (a car in Guadeloupe)... now that I know it's a scam, I'm waiting for his email where he'll ask me for a money order or I don't know what... FML... I really wanted that car :/
