New scam in Ivory Coast!!!

Hello everyone,

We received an email 15 days ago saying that we were the lucky winners of the 5th prize of 75,500 euros. I asked them if it was a joke and they replied that it was not. Above all, not to tell anyone. They pretended to be a
bank in Ivory Coast called "STANDARD CHARTERED BANK CI"; this bank exists, I did some research. Then they told you to contact Master Me N'zi Olivier, their lawyer who would take care of everything. So I provided them with all the documents they requested, up to the last email which told us the day and time when they would make the transfer. The next day, I sent them an email saying that we hadn't received anything from them, and they replied saying they had a technical problem and that WESTERN UNION WOULD MAKE THE TRANSACTION. Mr
KASSA GEORGES from WESTERN UNION contacted me by email saying that Master Olivier forgot to mention that we had to pay 850 euros in processing fees for the transaction. We contacted them and they said to send a money order in the name of the lawyer Master Olivier and then to call them to give them the money order number so the transaction would be done immediately. So I played along until the end, all afternoon they called me to ask if I had sent the money order, and at the last phone call from Mr. Kassa Georges, I told them I was making a donation for orphans and underprivileged children, and they hung up immediately.

I got in touch with the bank in Ivory Coast, and the woman told me that this scam has existed since 2006 and that all Ivorians are aware of this scam.
Be very careful of the emails you receive stating that you have won; it's a big scam. For those who have sent money, I think it’s lost. You owe them nothing, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ASK YOU FOR MORE;
Be vigilant, this WESTERN UNION CONTINUES.

Hello everyone,

I posted my vehicle online, and I was contacted by a certain Mr. MARC LOIZEAU.

Here is his first message:

Hello Sir,
I read your ad and I am interested in your vehicle, which is why I am contacting you, but I won't be able to come see the car as I am currently in Africa for work, and I would like to have all the necessary information (multiple photos) and whether it is sold with registration, technical control, and I would also like to know if it will still be available upon my return.
Best regards,
Mr. MARC

This certain Mr. MARC LOIZEAU offered to pay via wire transfer. However, as always, the transfer fees are to be paid by both parties, etc. etc.
Once the money was sent, I received a letter from BANQUE ATLANTIQUE stating that the money had indeed been sent!
Some time later, I received a letter from THE UNITED NATIONS WORLD BANK: TRANSFER CONTROL DEPARTMENT, stating that the money was blocked and that 300 euros needed to be paid for the funds to be released.

BANK TRANSFER ORDER CERTIFICATE

We, the undersigned ATLANTIQUE BANK COTE D’IVOIRE 02 PB 611 Abidjan 02, confirm, unless there is an error or omission on our part that
The account number 0758-369133-62 of MR. MARC LOIZEAU has indeed been debited the sum of EIGHT THOUSAND EUROS directly from the account with IBAN: BE39 3300 6433 6619 at ING BANK in BELGIUM.
Transfer recorded under No. INTSQ29798.-434344 / Ref No. EG/8VHCI.
Therefore, we guarantee that the transfer has indeed been completed.
Moreover, we issue this certificate to serve and attest to what is right.

Letter addressed to Mr. HOQUET ALEXANDER.

LETTER 2 TRANSFER

N/REF: ANLCN /12OA/0014/08
Abidjan, November 9, 2009

SUBJECT: TRANSFER VERIFICATION ORDER

TO: Mr. MARC LOIZEAU
AND Mr. HOQUET ALEXANDER.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

In view of the documents issued by BANQUE ATLANTIQUE – COTE D’IVOIRE regarding the transfer reference: INTSQ29798.-434344 for an amount of 8,000 euros, we have the duty to inform you that the UN transfer control commission has issued a STOP ORDER on the fund transfer from Mr. MARC LOIZEAU to the account with IBAN: BE39 3300 6433 6619 at ING BANK, belonging to Mr. HOQUET ALEXANDER.
Indeed, during the review of the documents submitted to us by BANQUE ATLANTIQUE – COTE D’IVOIRE, it appears that the transfer: INTSQ29798.-434344 does not comply with the transfer procedure standards imposed by the UN Transfer Control Commission in the ECOWAS zone, where any transfer exceeding 500 euros requires that both the sender and the recipient pay the ECOWAS FREE CIRCULATION TAX as certified by the issuance of the ECOWAS FISCAL REGULATION CERTIFICATE.
Since the transfer is already in progress, we are sending you this NOTICE to inform you that both the sender and the recipient must pay the said tax before 14/09/2009.
For Mr. MARC LOIZEAU, the amount of €315.
And for Mr. HOQUET ALEXANDER the amount of €300.

Failure to do so, not only will:

** your transfer incur penalties for violation of Article 205, Section 42 of Decree 589 of
the year 1995. We will issue a STOP ORDER / CANCELLATION irrevocably with
Notification to the management of BANQUE ATLANTIQUE – COTE D’IVOIRE.
** but the informants will be summoned and must respond urgently.

P.S.: the amount you pay to the UN transfer control commission will be refunded once our services have confirmed the authenticity of the transfer in accordance with current regulations.

Wishing you good reception, we remain, gentlemen, with our distinguished regards.

Control Commission
UN-ECOWAS southern zone
Mr. YUA KOFFI Mr. YUA KOFFI
The commissioner

The commissioner

Best regards to you all, and don't get fooled by these scammers!

I just received letters from the offices of Mr. DAGO Simon and Mr. Michael DORAN, respectively. The doubt I had about this enormous win led me to conduct research online. The results are simply enlightening regarding the greed of the authors of these malicious practices.

The name of LA STANDARD CHARTERED BANK is often associated with this scam. What is it doing to put an end to it? Is Mr. Phillippe DUPRET the real Director of STANDARD CHARTERED BANK PARIS?

Hello. I received the same email a year after you, the only thing that changes is the lawyer's name, but all the other details are the same. WARNING. Thank you for your message. I posted my scam further down if you're interested.

Thank you for your advice
I won't be fooled by SCI LES ROSIERS in Abidjan or by CABINET D'ETUDE JURIDIQUE MOREAU, which plans to send me €150,000 through Western Union Express Mandate
and I prefer to make a direct donation for underprivileged Ivorian children.

Hello

There are really a lot of winners because I received exactly the same email this weekend!
3rd prize of €150,000
But I haven't believed in Santa Claus for a long time!

However, I am going to complain to télé2 because this address is recent and I haven't shared it with anyone!

To whom it may concern

Hello Admiral!
Your post isn't recent, but I just saw it.
Don't hold it against Tele2 because there is software that scammers use which generates real emails!
I saw it on M6!

Tele2 is not to blame. To send us all these emails, they use email extraction software.

Haven't you noticed that your hotlines are located in Africa? They have accomplices in these hotlines who are paid to list our email addresses and possibly use those that we don't use and that are available.
We all generally have 5 email addresses at our disposal, and we usually only use 2 or 3.
They collect the rest to create @orange or @free or any other French ISP addresses to appear more credible than with a yahoo or hotmail or gmail address. All of this is very well organized.
When our ISPs understand what is happening, our addresses may be better protected.

two dating sites (the other discovered after investigations)
two different girls (charming photos, of course)

but where it’s odd is that strangely they have the same sad background, 29-year-old Lebanese orphan expatriate in great shape, lungs out... to this Rania... (nickname because otherwise it’s rather Zenabe Rachida Francine or Rania Madonna Ezzedine) led by the nose by men, she lands in Abidjan, another sad story, the guy married with two kids leaves her in trouble, so she ends up in a hotel that doesn’t exist, but the two ladies with eerily similar pasts are supported by the same director of the said hotel, email address and phone number to verify his version of the story, of course...
it would be nice to spam his email director_kenty@fastermail.com
or for the braver ones, his phone number 00225 66 30 12 18

so of course this little Ezzedine who, like a snake, directly asks me to trust her hasn’t replied since the evidence was revealed...

not good, shouldn’t have, pay attention singles, the praying mantises are here and I’m not sure it’s a girl, so be careful

Actually, I found this woman on the net, she's "sweet krissy"
many of her photos are stolen by this Rania or Yasmine Kahled.

Good evening, I'm writing to you because Rania Madonna Ezzedine sent me an email a week ago asking for help because, according to her, she is stuck in Côte d'Ivoire. She keeps sending me photos as well. I don't know if this is a scam or not because I believe a pretty girl like her wouldn't have too much trouble finding a man. Could you tell me if you have been in contact with her and if I should be cautious of her? Thank you.

Yes, she is a scammer. I've been in contact with her for two months. Just type "Ezzedine Rania Madona" on Google and you will find everything, including pictures. Go to https://www.coedcherry.com/models/sweet-krissy
and you'll understand everything. I can tell you more, but I think this is enough. :))))))
