Hello

Indeed, it's a classic scam.. There's a W.U deposit meant to reassure the mark, but it's only a few euros (The amount doesn't appear on the W.U site) Cf:
https://www.westernunion.com/ga/en/home.html

The so-called mark will never be able to cash this money order (A few €) because they will never receive the answer to the stupid 'secret question'.. The so-called Director of Posts Jean Claude blabla will inform the kind mark that they need to send a W.U Money Order to pay the 'fee' (Fake) to unlock the scammer's Money Order (The fake 550€..).

We think - like you - that it's a low-level scam polluting the Internet for many years.. It must be a rookie scammer in the business..

Reply that you have received much higher offers from Côte d'Ivoire.. As a result, the price has gone up to 897€.. If they want to bid, they should create a new W.U Money Order (Check it on the W.U site for a laugh). This will require them to run to the W.U counter and shell out a few extra euros in fees for a new money order..

Later!

Thanks for the info!!!

Same for me yesterday, attempted scam with Mrs. Fabienne Favre, supposedly from Toulon, for the purchase of a bed on
Le Boncoin.. Fortunately, I sensed the scam.

Good evening,

Thank you for all your responses, I finally understand the mechanism. I don't know if many fall for the trap, it's a shame there are no defenses against these scams.

I will stop selling on "Le Bon Coin" and leave it at that.

Thanks again

All websites or forums are affected by this type of advertisement.
It is very possible to sell online and even through Le Bon Coin, but as specified on this kind of site, only local sales and face-to-face transactions are allowed, which provides a minimum level of guarantee.

I
Was scammed out of €350 by a so-called director of Bank Western Union ????

DELOY PIERRETTE
To
me
Today at 1:19 PM
Example:
Hello Mr. Sanchez Jose Luis

I was able to complete the mandate as agreed.

I have with me the 10-digit codes of the mandate.

But the post office director told me to check the mandate codes on the WESTERN UNION website to see for yourself that the mandate has indeed been completed. So click on the following link: http://gabon.westernunion.com/WUCOMWEB/staticMid.do?method=load&countryCode=GA&languageCode=en&pagename=HomePage once you are on the homepage, you look in the middle of your screen, you will see "check the status of a transfer" in yellow and you enter the first name and last name of the manager who registered the transfer as well as the 10-digit code below:

FIRST NAME: Fabienne
LAST NAME: Favre
TRANSFER CODE: 4108892730

and you click on the yellow arrow that is just after the sender's name

If the codes are indeed valid, you will see that it will be marked "money available" and can be withdrawn by the beneficiary. And you are the beneficiary.

I want to inform you that the transfer is undergoing a traceability check to ensure it is guaranteed. For this check to take place, the authorities of this country have imposed a tax on the beneficiary and the sender, which they must advance to participate in this control.

This tax is imposed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Côte d'Ivoire regarding any money leaving this country in order to verify the traceability of international operations and also to protect the various accounts of financial institutions in Côte d'Ivoire.

But there remains "the password" of the mandate before going to withdraw the money at the post office because without the password no one will be able to withdraw the funds. The director informed me that you must pay your share of the tax which is €299 that I took the liberty of adding to the total amount so that you are not penalized regarding your sale. Therefore, this brings you to €850 + €350 = €1,200; I have set aside a few euros for transfer fees.

Without the mandate's password, you cannot go withdraw the funds at the post office.

So you must contact the director of my post office upon receiving this email, Mr. LAMBERT FELIX at 00225 44 61 02 47 to discuss with him the formalities to complete so you can cash the €1,200. So do not take any other steps without Mr. LAMBERT FELIX's advice at 00225 44 61 02 47 (the director) otherwise, this transfer will incur penalties for violating Article 205, Section 42 of Decree 589 of 1995 and we will issue the order of stoppage/cancellation irreversibly with notification to the economic police of this country.

Best regards

Mr./Mrs. DELOY PIERRETTE

Hello, I too am a victim of this person following the sale of my zodiac (1850 euros). When I reported it to the site Le Bon Coin, they told me to go to the police station because they couldn't do anything, so my account and my card are blocked. I would like to know how it ended for you, thank you in advance.

DOYEN69 > jeff64240 Posted messages 2 Status Membre

Hello,
I suppose you've fallen for that scam; personally, I no longer responded or followed up. I rightly thought it was a scam and stopped everything. Moreover, I also listed another item for sale, and here we go again, not from the same person but with the same principle: calling another Mr. XXX and sending x euros. From what I've read, this kind of practice is common on the web.
I hope for your sake that this whole mess will end well.
Best regards

Warning scam

Good evening,

After reflection, I agree to purchase your property. I would like to inform you that I am at (191 boulevard Albert colonel Grant 83000 Toulon), in France, however, I am currently traveling (outside FRANCE). I would therefore like to proceed with the sale through a reservation of the property since I will have little time upon my return to take care of it due to work. In this case, I plan to send you the full amount initially via a payment through the postal services, and once you have the money,
we will set a date to schedule an appointment at your home for pickup in 10 days. So if you agree to this principle, please provide me with the following information so that I can send you the funds as quickly as possible:

-Name -First names -Home address -final price -Landline and mobile phone number
-I will add €50 for the reservation

Please remove the ad from the site as I commit to buying it from you. Upon receiving this information, I will do what is necessary at the post office to finalize the sale and will ask a carrier to come pick it up at your home and reserve it for me until my return. I hope I can count on your honesty since you will have the money before we retrieve the property.

Best regards

Hello again,

I didn't really understand this approach on his part, is he REALLY making any payment????

Anyway, I won't budge and definitely won't call (maybe it’s a premium rate!! )

Thanks for these clarifications anyway

Re:

There will NEVER be any money to withdraw because the sucker does not have the answer to the 'secret question'..
The scammer's approach is clear:
To interest the seller who finally has a client.. Then the scammer manages to get the sucker to pay an untraceable fee (W.U) a phantom tax (which goes into their pocket..) so that they hope to retrieve their due at the French W.U counter.
It is a fictitious unlocking of the supposed transfer..

See you+

Hello, I am currently facing the same issue as you and have doubts. He is in Ivory Coast and I go through so-called Western Union, need to contact a number 0022509462944 Mr. LAMBERT Yves and should advance for the same reason as you €350.00 in taxes for a transaction of €1100.00, that’s a lot for this transaction. In return, the so-called buyer is transferring me €1500.00 instead of the initial €1100.00, surprising, isn't it? Sincerely.

Hello,

I feel like "welcome" to the Club!!!

I have the same story, except the buyer is in France...

The money transfer by WU was made on: 01/04/2018 (I have a sense of humor but let's not push it)
Oh yes, the 1st is a Sunday... (that leaves one dreaming)...

I almost forgot the law article in France, it concerns weapons and military equipment (My steam cleaner a weapon??? yes for housewives under fifty).

In short, conclusion, we are ALWAYS cautious!!! (even of our mother-in-law!!!)

Me too this morning: I took the liberty of adding a total amount of €300 to your listing which is €950 so that you are not penalized regarding your sale, as the director informed me that you have a tax for the free circulation of financial flow to pay at your local post office before finalizing the transaction and cashing your funds in cash at your local post office. So that makes €950 + €300 added = €1250 that you need to cash at the post office once the tax is paid. PS: Without the Mandate password, you cannot withdraw the funds at the post office. So before going to your local post office for the withdrawal, you must absolutely contact the director of the post office in charge of the transaction, Mr. YVES FERIER, at the toll-free number (0022 508 336 036) as soon as you receive this email to discuss with him the formalities to complete in order for you to withdraw the €1250. So do not take any further steps without the advice of Mr. YVES FERIER (the director).

Same scam. I'm selling a sofa worth €200 on Le Bon Coin, and I'm being asked to pay €110 upfront with the following instructions:
"Hello Mr. XXXXXXX ...........
I was able to make the payment as agreed by mail this morning. You will therefore find attached the Payment Certificate as well as a copy of my ID in order to initiate the procedures with the Post Manager Mr. Yves Laurent at 0756839167 to collect the money order. However, I have added €110 to cover the activation fees for the transfer with Mr. Yves Laurent, the post manager, following the instructions. So please contact this gentleman before going to your post office for withdrawal; his number is on the certificate
of the money order.
NB: 200€+110€= 310€
Thank you for your good faith.
See you soon."

Sender: Alain Jean GRANDJEAN
€110: It's actually the so-called "tax for the free circulation of economic flows."
Attached to the email are the seller's identity card and a copy of the money order "payment certificate."

A phone call to the infamous Laurent: A deep voice on the line with a slightly African accent. It felt like I was talking to a robot. I quickly understood it was a confirmed scam after reading the emails on the forum.

I had the same problem when trying to sell my lawn tractor on Le Bon Coin. I'm asking for €500, and they send me a (supposedly) secure postal order for €670 for the fees.
The buyer resides in France, Mrs. HERR Martine, Valérie. I received a photocopy of her identity card to complete the transaction... is it a fake or genuine identity or a stolen card? We're left in doubt!!
I was supposed to contact Yves FERRIER at 00225 89 30 28 08, the director of the post office who would give me the procedure to follow. Moreover, the transfer control code does not exist; I had it checked by a postal agent.
It's important to know that when you send a postal order, the amount paid to the beneficiary is the actual invoice amount and not additional fees; these sending fees are paid by the sender only.
I pretended that I couldn't deal with it this week, and strangely, I haven't been followed up by the buyer.

Hello to you too...

Classic scam, and the """director""" and the buyer are the same person......

More broadly:

The identities provided are in the vast majority of cases stolen identities from previous scams. They will therefore be removed here if their legitimate holders request it.

Indeed, publishing these names, while informing that they are currently used in attempts at fraud, only harms the "real" people who have been duped and are now struggling to deal with the heavy consequences that follow....

Furthermore, when an identity is "too worn out".... the criminals use another one.... and that one... will be used to trap you if you only rely on names to "protect yourself".... (Besides, depending on the scenarios, once trapped it will be your names that will be found in the forum....... )

The only way to protect yourself is to take into account the scenario, its context, the way in which emails are written, the payment methods, etc., etc...

Customs and tax formalities were the same with the transaction guaranteed by the "banker" of the buyer: purchase request via PCS master card for prepaid tickets, totaling €500 of taxes related to the legislation of the country of origin!!!!!
