new scam from Ivory Coast : CCM

Réponse 1 / 66

steph

Good evening everyone
Here is the last email I received and all the history of emails I sent and received
Being cautious, the account I provided is useless to me and there are no transactions on it, which I pointed out to him, so only the 417 euros interests him!!!
I think I'm going to play with this gentleman a little longer...

GOOD EVENING MR

I acknowledge receipt of your bank details and I went to my bank to check my balance and how to make the transfer.
I also come with good news since the transfer is possible and requires 3 days for you to be credited after completing the formalities.

Indeed, there are formalities to fulfill, I would have liked my manager to explain this to you in person but I preferred to talk to you myself since it's me who would like to buy your vehicle and it's from my account that this money will come out.

I understand that since the beginning of the crisis in this country, there have been several embezzlements of public funds; funds that have been expatriated to foreign countries by senior officials of this country who had access to Financial Services or through certain responsible parties, not to mention money laundering and the ends to which these sums will serve (arms purchases, maintaining rebellions and armed groups outside the country, active boycotts, and other actions against the pursuit of peace ...).
So in the face of this, controls are in place and now a tax must be paid to the tax service by cash order since they have no institution in France, accompanied by a handwritten discharge stating that the funded account belongs to you and that our transaction is legal and has no dubious end.

This means that once the transfer is initiated, I will scan the transfer order receipts to you by email but the transfer will be blocked at the tax regulation office for verification and control of both parties, that is, you and me, and it is at that moment that the tax regulation office will contact us both (you and me) to ask us to pay our taxes in order to unlock and validate the transfer so it can be routed to your account within the swift timeframe of three (3) days.
The amount of taxes is 417€ that you are charged and 525€ for me.
I think this shouldn't pose any problems since I wanted your share of the tax that you will pay to the tax regulation office to be directly debited from my account and added to the total transfer amount, meaning I will transfer you 14717€ instead of 14300€.
But I would only like to have your agreement before making the transfer since the transfer is irreversible and once initiated, you will also need to regularize the transfer conditions for the taxes in order to be credited within the swift deadline (3) days.
I don't want to risk being subjected to a tax control so I want to be sure if we agree on the principle. Because I don't want this deal which started so well to end badly. I think you are a trustworthy person and it's with a person like you that I would like to buy a car like yours. I want to reiterate that the transfer will be blocked without us paying the tax. So I am sending you my passport as an attachment to reassure you.
Thank you for replying to me either by email to give me your response, and your card if possible.
Best regards.

Yes, indeed the payment method I accept is only bank transfer and the transaction will take place after my bank's verification
However, if you are working in Africa, how do you plan to see the car and carry out the transaction?

Hello,
You have no repairs to make, the tires are new (1000 km), I bought the car from a collaborator when it was 6 months old, so it's practically a first-hand car, the service (30000 km) was done at 29000 km, and I took the opportunity to change the pollen filter which is done approximately every two years and at the same time a recharge of the air conditioning (invoice in support)
My price is negotiable within reason of course, knowing that the car is in excellent condition and well maintained
I am attaching the photos
Sincerely
Mr. Jubault

HELLO, a big THANK YOU to this site and you. You saved us from a big scam that would have financially ruined us. We put our car for sale on the site zevent.fr and then the drama happened, a certain RACHID BATCHI fell in love with our car with his wife and wanted to buy it for their daughter, who is coming to France soon. It's shameful to do things like that. Last night he dared to call us back to see if we had found a solution to pay him the tax of 777 euros, I can tell you we made him see things and he got scared, we told him we had contacted the embassy and others. Don't get taken in, be careful, they are sneaky. I don't know if we should file a complaint. Give us your advice.

Hello,

I was in the middle of a transaction with Mr. RACHID BAJTI until 1 PM today.

Apparently, it's the same story. They fell in love with my car (him and his wife) and their son, who is returning to France, is coming to pick up the car on October 15th.

After several email and phone contacts, I sent my bank account details.

I just spoke with the Director of the OFFICE FOR THE REGULATION OF TRANSFERS OF IVORY COAST who asked me to go to the post office (Western Union service) to pay the tax of 777 euros per mandate.

It seemed strange to me, so I did some research and came across your message (THANK YOU SO MUCH), thanks to you I'm avoiding a big scam.

I immediately called my bank and phew, he can't do anything with my bank account details.

The director and Mr. RACHID are supposed to call me back this afternoon and I will be happy to respond to them!!!

Hello everyone and congratulations on the informative work we all evidently need. I am also attaching some tips at the end of my message regarding the safety of auto transactions.

I have a similar story; I placed ads online to sell a high-end SUV, and the next day I received my first contact:

"HELLO
I AM INTERESTED IN YOUR VEHICLE. I TRIED
TO REACH YOU BY PHONE WITHOUT SUCCESS. PLEASE
SEND ME RECENT PHOTOS. PLEASE CONTACT ME. SINCERELY
Name: ravasi rene aldo
Email: ravasirenealdo@yahoo.fr"

Photos sent, Mr. RAVASI contacts me back without even negotiating the price! I am not paranoid, but cautious. I always communicate from the start using anonymous online addresses with unknown contacts, not using my provider's. I also prefer to avoid future spam or other nuisances.
Here is his response:

"HELLO
That works perfectly for me. How would you like me to pay you? I would like to pay by bank transfer; it's guaranteed for both of us, so I will need your banking details to carry out the transaction. Once you receive the money in your account, please keep me informed. Since I'm paying you in advance, I will need a guarantee: a photocopy of your ID, front and back. You can reach me at this number 0022508793222 "

I will skip the spelling mistakes, but when purchasing a vehicle costing €70,000, one can be A LITTLE serious, like in a cover letter! And there are my first doubts, i.e., an element of foreignness: the phone number outside France...
+225, Ivory Coast, BINGO!
By the way, I recommend this address,
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_indicatifs_t%C3%A9l%C3%A9phoniques_internationaux_par_indicatif

In his email, "Mr. Ravasi" attached a copy of his SWISS identity card to gain trust, and then...
2nd element of foreignness:
no. 1405440
ravasi rene aldo
born 11.02.48
height 187 cm
place of origin: Onsersone TI = canton of Ticino
authority Lausanne VD
issued 24.04.05
IDCHEC1405440<8<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
4802110M1504192CHE<<<<<<<<<<4
RAVASI<<RENE<<ALDO<<<<<<<<<<

I want to give you the references of this card, as it is likely that in the future, other fictitious characters will appear, but with the references and numbers described above. It’s enough to go to https://www.local.ch/ to search for a last name in the directory, and voilà.

Well, I am a cross-border worker, I have family in Switzerland, we speak German and Italian, so I suspected immediately! His number should be +41xxxxxxxxxxx
The guy couldn't reach me on my mobile... If he were really a citizen or resident of Switzerland, he would know how to adapt the number to call me in France, that is +336xxxxxxx, removing the 0 in front of the 6.

I obviously did not follow up. There is no way I will give a stranger my personal or banking details!
At best, they waste our time.

TIPS:
As an excellent legal magazine I subscribe to states (I won’t do any advertising), refuse transactions from abroad via the internet.
The simplest and safest transactions are always those where the seller meets the buyer, both residing in France.

Payment should always be secure: require a bank check, i.e., a check issued by your buyer's bank in your name, which guarantees the availability of funds.
But that’s not enough yet.
Schedule a meeting with the buyer in person (and never an intermediary) during banking hours (be careful in the evening, on weekends + Monday)
Ask your buyer for a photo ID.
Upon handing over the bank check, call his bank branch.
Be careful, do not call the number on the check; it could lead you to a fake number and... to a accomplice.
Look up the bank's number yourself.
Once online, give the name of the account holder and not the amount, and wait for the agent to verify the issuance of the bank check and its exact amount.
This helps avoid unpleasant surprises...in France!

In summary: require a bank check

Cheers everyone.

At first, the gentleman is called Mr. Denis, then Mr. Daniel Cailleux... Strange!

His messages are similar to those of all the messages in this discussion...
So be careful, as he often changes names!

Hello, well I've just realized that I've been scammed by the same person who supposedly sold my vehicle for Abidjan. In any case, thank you for this website; it's a shame for me that I saw it too late. Thanks to everyone, and let's continue together against this new breed of scammers.

Hello everyone, I was also contacted for the purchase of my vehicle, so here are two names: Mr. RAVASI & Mr. LUIZY are two people who will empty your accounts rather than fill them. This is confirmed by the testimony from the gendarmerie in my village as well as from my bank. So any transactions with Côte d'Ivoire and any numbers 0022566860411, 00225 66 31 72 03 should be banned. It's up to each person to decide; for me, it's all clear. Have a nice day, hoping I have spared you.

Hello,

Several references to add from scammers:

Fabrice Bastide
I even received a scan of this gentleman's identity card after talking to him on the phone because he claimed to be in the Overseas Territories. Unfortunately for him, the accent and the photo didn't match...
That's where my doubts and your forum come in.

Today, after a simple modification of my ad:
Olivier Cole, who despite being warned that I had already been a victim of a thwarted scam thanks to this forum, gave me the following number: 0022504641490 Mr. Olivier

Good evening,
I’ve received two African scam attempts for the sale of a collectible vehicle within less than 24 hours.
I would like to share the contact details as I obviously did not respond. Thanks to your information, by the way!

First: SMS from Ouest France from a certain jf.desler@gmail.com
Message: I am interested in your vehicle, I would like to have photos and the specifications.

Second: Email from RAVASI René: Hello I am interested in your vehicle. Please send me the recent photos and contact me: tel 0022566059188 BEST REGARDS MR RAVASI

The more we circulate these "bad" contact details, the more it will force them to change their ways.
It's not much, but still!

Have a good evening.

Thanks to you, I avoided the worst. Thank you for this blog.
I found it strange that he never answered my questions; he just wanted to buy the car. That's why I typed some information, and here we are. Thanks again.

I am sending you the information you requested, namely my Name and Address:

Name: Mr. JEAN NOEL

PHONE: 00225 46 42 46 81

ADDRESS: RUE DU CHEVALIER CLIEU 01 BP ABIDJAN 01 CI

ACCOUNT No.: 0758 369133 62

BANK SORT CODE: AFRICIAB231 / IBAN: CIOO1 BKAFRCI 2131 4493

NAME AND ADDRESS OF MY BANK: ATLANTIQUE BANQUE / HEAD OFFICE: Imm.Atlantique, Av, Noguès, 02 BP 611-ABIDJAN COTE D’IVOIRE - COMPANY WHIT CAPITAL F.CFA 3 000 000 000

I will make a transfer; once the amount is received in your account, I will have a forwarding company come to your home to pick up the car. Know that the car will not leave without confirmation of the transfer to your account, so you don't have to worry because it is only when the money is in your account that the forwarder will come to pick up the car. The information my bank will need to make the transfer is:

Your Name and Address:
The Name and Address of your Bank:
Your IBAN code:
Your BIC / SWIFT code:
The final sale price:

I think you have all the information, so I am awaiting a quick and favorable response.

Please send me the information above by email as soon as possible.

But I think that since I have to make two different transfers, you will have to send me two different account numbers.

Call 0022546424681 urgently because I can't reach you.

I am also waiting for a "potential buyer" for my 4x4 (see possibly my message). So far no curse, but I don't care much: we also have quite a tradition when it comes to spells, sorcerers & stuff, don't we? ^__*

Friends of sects and other curses, good evening!

The reaction of our friend Lion (hyena rising) proves that we are on target in this forum: it is essential to talk, inform again and always.
It is in ignorance that the miscreants want to keep us, so they can manipulate us better, of course. Or how we return to a liberticidal Middle Ages without passing through the starting point!

To settle the score with this enraged feline:
Dying takes only one R: you only die once (Nourishing takes two Rs: you feed more than once) I gladly add "the Lion is dead tonight," one R, or "You can still run... see your sorcerer!" which takes an R.
As for the rest of this bellicose message, we know full well, when one is not anti-Black or anti-White racist, that there are bound to be good people everywhere in the World, and this, despite the crooks and other pheasants.

That being said, I would like to remind you of the cumulative or non-cumulative indicators (non-exhaustive list) that should alert you in a received response:

- your interlocutor is very interested in your item for sale. But he does not attempt any negotiation (he doesn't have time in his manipulations) Note that this is rather rare and suspicious in a world of commerce and discussions...

- he expresses himself in an indirect, somewhat antiquated, even obsequious language (for example, I humbly propose to acquire your vehicle...) all heavily sprinkled with spelling mistakes. He may also write to you in all CAPITAL LETTERS, as if he were screaming from far, far, far away, the lion!

- he tells you a lot of useless stories in detail, introducing himself as Mr. XY, an honorable profession, perhaps having a career or a mission in an international organization (like WHO, FAO, etc.) The goal is to lull you to sleep and to give you confidence, because he is serious, and he has so much confidence in you, doesn't he?

- he contacts you by email claiming to have tried in vain to call you: in fact, he will avoid calling you on your French/Belgian/Swiss mobile as much as possible because it would cost him too much. At most, he might send you a text message.

- but he generously gives you his number so that YOU call him, for example, +225xxxxxxxxx. Immediately communicate it on the forums, as this will inform other internet users who have been contacted with the same number but by someone else, for example, Mr. YZ: the explanation is that an online internet address costs nothing, whereas changing a mobile number is not simple for them.

- he spontaneously sends you an identity document abbreviated as CNI (an abbreviation that was unknown to me, personally)

- this CNI may be of African origin but also European; in my case, for example, it was Swiss.
If this identity was obviously usurped, it may not be entirely falsified: in my case, this person indeed exists (I have informed myself in the meantime). That is why I am sorry to have communicated the (likely accurate) data of this gentleman. I suppose he made the mistake of giving a copy of his card to a malicious person... serval, who will not fail to abuse it again. You have been warned!

- at some point or another, the painful subject of the tax on the transfer will come up as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Well, come on! You are the seller, and you would have to start by sending money, and abroad no less!
The only acceptable deductions on a received transfer are those from your bank, if they are provided for in the pricing of its services.

- if you prudently refuse the transfer: "Ok for the bank check" consents the vulture out of despair, but he wants your personal and... banking details. Stop right there! This is not a customer. You do not know what he will do with your identity: the unscrupulous jackal could at the very least use it on the internet to fish... for pigeons.

- If you accept a check, the fennec will propose to send a freight forwarder to pick up the car at your home as soon as the amount is received (within 2 to 3 days).
Be careful: let's assume the money is deposited initially. An accomplice quickly shows up at your place and leaves with your car. Your account is credited. But this credit is temporary, because 1 to 2 weeks later when the bank discovers that the check is a fake, it debits the account...
(see advice on bank checks in my previous message)

- And obviously any other element of foreignness in relation to your own country of residence F/B/CH: Our subject is Africa, but let’s not forget also Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, Belarus, etc.

Finally, if your interlocutor is masked, do the same: remain anonymous until you know more.

Conclusion: let's remain vigilant, because, like any parasite or other harmful being, they will need to evolve and adapt. I would like to specify that no real animal mentioned above was harmed in this message.

A phrase that I really like, in Lt. Colombo style:
"Do you allow me to analyze the blood group of the wine you spilled on this carpet?"

Tschau to all

Hello

I too just got scammed by a certain Rudy Fradin living in Abidjan. He wanted to buy my car and when I told him the price, he agreed.
He wanted to take care of everything (the transfer of the car ...). He wanted to pay us with a certified bank check, he sent us a photocopy of the check but we saw that it wasn't real.
Subsequently, we received an email saying that the check was blocked and that we had to send a check for €700
in the name of Mr. Amoussouvi Jean Yves. We didn't agree and re-contacted the buyer, he started explaining to us that he wasn’t aware, that he could no longer withdraw from his account, that he had a sick son whom he needed to pay the doctor and for the medicine, in short, a whole story.
We immediately stopped the transaction, telling him that it was a scam and that we had informed the police since then, we haven't heard from him.
Watch out for scams of this kind.

Hello everyone, we just fell victim to a scam attempt, let me tell you!
My parents have been wanting to sell the 806 for months, so I (their daughter) decided to post a free ad on some websites!
Until the day when: I received a response from a lady who supposedly worked for UNICEF abroad but whose family was in France, Mrs. Madelene Carpentier, that's her "nickname."
He (because we just learned it's a man) was sending me emails asking for photos of the car, which I provided.
He didn't ask me any questions about the technical inspection or anything else... so when he talked about giving me a bank account number and details for the transfer, I told him he should call me so we could discuss the details... (like other normal people would) which he never did, but according to him, he kept reaching voicemail!
Moreover, he made a lot of spelling mistakes that even we French people typically don't make.
Anyway, yesterday we were chatting on MSN, and I sent him a photocopy of my parents' bank account details because their banker said we wouldn't risk anything.
This morning I received an email saying that there was an issue and that he needed to pay taxes, which he wanted to cover, but they told him no, and my parents had to pay half. So, €427.
Apparently, he didn't make a transfer of €6,300 as planned, but €6,727 which was blocked at the tax regulation office, and I had to pay the €427 anyway, but I would get it back with the transfer.
So my parents went to the police this afternoon with the document he sent us the day before (which was very suspicious too with serious mistakes since he copied the bank account details wrong (address, name, the name of the bank...) and they told them it was a scam.
On top of that, he called my dad's mobile this afternoon, and I answered, already a number with 20 digits (figuratively speaking, lol), I expected to hear a woman but it was a man with an African accent. He wanted to give me his number 0225, and I told him my dad wasn't there. Panicked, he said "uhh where has he gone?" I said to do grocery shopping, but he was at the police station.
Then he said "ok well have him call me at 0225..." I said, oh, abroad? Well, he will send you an email (I felt like telling him but it seemed like you were in France, sir, with your children who were twins Alex and Alexia (no comments) and that she had to go to department 66)

Anyway, my dad comes home and tells me what the police said, and now we've seen this website, and wow, we Europeans are easy prey for scammers, lol.

Hello,

We have just fallen victim to this so-called Mr. RAVASI of Swiss nationality; we fell for the scam until they asked us to pay this so-called international tax.

We then inquired and discovered the scam, but now we are afraid of the consequences because he has a copy of our bank account details and identity card. The bank tells us there is a risk but cannot take any preventive measures, and filing a complaint seems complicated because these people are abroad. What else can we do?

Sincerely

Anonymous user > MAELLENN

If you have sent your ID card, you have a 9 out of 10 chance that the fraudster will use it to scam other people. And if there is proven fraud in your name, you could have trouble. It would be a case of identity theft.

In your case, filing a complaint seems like a priority!!

Did he send you a Swiss ID??

Thank you for your availability, I have received the photos of the vehicle, we have read your technical sheet and we do not hide it, the car is in impeccable condition. I would like to have more details about the general condition, mileage, last service, maintenance... etc.

Being expatriated for professional reasons, I would like to ask you what payment method you prefer as we plan to pay you by bank transfer and my husband will go to his bank to discuss it with his advisor, and we will give you feedback tonight; in the meantime, please let me know the final price of the vehicle.

Hello everyone

Hi Pontiac, it looks like you've also been on the forum.
Personally, I received the same email as you this morning, word for word.
I'm really glad I stopped by this forum.
Following his email, I asked him to give me the name of his bank and the name of his so-called freight forwarder, and now it's radio silence.
He didn't fall for the right pigeons.
Attention everyone
Especially during this period.

Hello everyone and thank you for this forum. I just got contacted by these "thieves", and when they talked to me about this tax, I went online to get informed, and that's done, thank you.
Here is part of the email I just received:

"Here are the details (The Director of the Tax Regulation Office)
that will help you and me to pay our share of the tax. The post office asked me to pass this on to you.
Name: Bois
First name: Christelle
Address: 01 bp 500 abj 01
Contact: 00225 47 55 27 99"

They have my name and address. Can they do something with that?

Hello
I have just been contacted by Mr. Ravasi regarding a car that has been sold for 10 months, valued at 4300 euros. I replied that the car is sold, but there is another car for sale, valued at 19500 euros.
He doesn't know which car it is; he is already interested; he must be a "marabou."
I have dealt with a certain Mr. Maersk (Ghana) before—same scam.
I feel like having a little fun with him; if I can make him spend on phone calls between his country and mine, it could be amusing.

Well, our friends aren't resting!

I almost got taken in too after posting an ad to sell my motorcycle!
The dear Sébastien Tibackx found that my Ducati has real charm!

Same here, I sent a bank account details and my name, address, and phone number!
But well, apparently he can't do much with that... other than make me a little transfer? :p

Anyway, I found his story about the tax regulation office suspicious, and by digging a little I ended up here! I was about to give up, but now I confirm!

Thank you!

My scammer: Sébastien TIBACKX uses the email address: sebastien.86@live.fr
and the phone number: +22506721963
He even sent me a scan of an ID with that same name... born in September 1979 in HARFLEUR (76)... which sounds even more fake since the photo is of a young white man while the guy who had the nerve to call me had an awful African accent that was almost incomprehensible!

Anyway, what a bunch of crooks...

Good evening and first of all thank you, thanks to you I avoided the scam.

Apparently, I am at the beginning of the process.

I listed my vehicle for sale on December 26th on the site "webmycar.com", and I was contacted that same day by a certain "Mr. RAVASI", who asked me if my vehicle was still for sale!

I replied that it was, and on December 27th, he asked for more details about the condition of the vehicle, as well as photos of the tires, the seats, the body, the engine... That same day, I complied and sent him the requested photos.

His wife "Mrs. RAVASI" replied immediately, informing me that they were very interested in the vehicle, that they wanted more details, that they wanted copies of the latest maintenance invoices... They specified that they would pay by bank transfer because they were expatriates for professional reasons, the husband has an appointment with his manager, and I can contact him at 00225 06955086.

I was surprised by this last message, but I was still going to proceed (I want to sell my vehicle quickly) before giving them more details, I discovered the scam by typing the phone number into Google.

In the end, I did not follow up, and I warned them by email that they were exposed, and that I would inform as many people as possible about the scam.

Once again, thank you all, double disappointment for me, the vehicle is still not sold, and I almost fell into the trap.

Let's stay vigilant!
