I think that if everyone who receives these scam attempt emails (lottery, buying/selling various items, real estate rental and purchase, pet donations, etc.) reported them to the host of the corresponding email addresses, we could perhaps put a spanner in the works of these scammers:
To see the procedure: https://www.croque-escrocs.fr/?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=13&Itemid=83
We are collecting as many addresses as possible and sending reports as often as we can. But given the number of addresses they are capable of creating in record time, it's a full-time job.
So, if everyone could lend a hand ....

PLEASE, MENTION THE EMAIL ADDRESSES OF THESE SCAMMERS
We will make good use of them (Blacklists)

Hello everyone,
Here is the result following an ad I responded to regarding the rental of a town house in Argenteuil.
1st email received:
Hello
Thank you for responding to the ad regarding the rental of our house. We just saw your email, and we want to let you know that our house is available immediately.
Since Thursday, and the price is because my husband got a new job in LONDON. So our house is currently available for occupancy.
The rental price is €400 including all taxes/month (all charges included). So if you are really interested, let us know so that my husband and I can come down for a possible visit.
In reality, we are renting it, not for money, but just to avoid leaving it unoccupied and unmaintained.
We could establish a lease with you for 8 months, 12 months, or even 7 years or more.
The establishment of the rental contract will not pose any problem.
Regarding the deposit to be paid, we will try to define it by mutual agreement with you according to your availability.
Our allocation condition:
One month’s deposit
One month’s rent
That you will make on the day of the visit as a security deposit, in order to prove your request so that we can hold an interview with you.
We take this opportunity to let you know the documents to provide during the visit.
Here are the documents to be provided
- 3 last pay slips
- 1 employer’s certificate
- 1 employment contract
- 1 family record book
- 2 last tax notices
- 1 identity card
- 3 last rent receipts
Here is the description of the house attached with photos in the attached files:
2-room house - Les bas côteaux.. Small furnished townhouse type 2-room without work entirely furnished including: equipped kitchen space, living room, bathroom, and WC, one bedroom with dressing. Available immediately.. Ideal for a single person. Gas heating. - Proximity: Les bas côteaux
Summary:
* Completely renovated
* Surface: 30 m²
* Rooms: 2
* Bedroom: 1
* Bathroom: 1
* Toilets: 1
* Type of kitchen: equipped
(TANTALIZING PHOTOS)
Once the visit is completed by you, we will have you sign the lease agreement if you are decided to take the house, then the keys will be handed over to you, and in return the security deposit will be made
Thank you for responding by giving us your availability and seeing according to our calendar to arrange with you a possible appointment for the visit.
We had to remove the ad due to response restrictions.
Best wishes.

2nd email received following my response:
Hello,
Following your response, my husband and I have decided to come down to show you our house
The visit is therefore scheduled for Tuesday, February 1, 2011, at 6 PM in Ile-de-France, Argenteuil 95100 (the exact address will be given to you the day before the appointment so that you can wait for us). Please be punctual
As you know, during the visit and the signing of the contract, you come with all the documents we asked for.
As for the visits, last Thursday we had an appointment with a lady who was very interested, but she was not on site (meaning she was not at the appointment), which resulted in disappointment.
To ensure the appointment is effective on Tuesday with you, one last formality remains to be fulfilled to guarantee that you are really interested in renting our house:
You prepare your complete rental file, and as for the security deposit, instead of being by cheque or other for security reasons and also to reassure us of the availability of funds, we would like it to be via Urgent Cash Mandate, meaning you will go make the deposit for one month’s rent and one month’s deposit, which is €800 via Urgent Cash Mandate at the post office on our coordinates that we will give you later.
After this operation at the post office, the post office will issue you a receipt that contains our coordinates and the cashing information, which you must keep safe with you. So you will have a receipt that you will confirm to us by scanning everything while hiding the secret information (Cashing codes)
On Tuesday at 6 PM, after visiting our house, my husband will draft a lease agreement according to your rental duration, and we will hand you the keys to the house, then you will give us the receipt from the urgent cash mandate containing the cashing information so that we can cash the security deposit if our house suits you. In the opposite case, that is to say if the house is not to your liking, which would surprise us a lot, you can still collect your money with the receipt that contains the cashing information. This is, in a way, a guarantee from me and a reservation for yours.
P.S. The Urgent Cash Mandate does not mean that you send us money.
NO!!!
It’s just a Deposit at the Postal Bank to guarantee your desire to rent our house and that you also have the means to rent this house. Understand that you are not the only interested ones, and given that we have already had experiences with fake appointments, we don't want to take unnecessary appointments (wasting our time for nothing).
This is what will help reassure us of your good faith so that we can organize and consider our offer as already rented to other interested parties.
To better help you understand the operation of this as a very secure payment method, please take a look at the postal document attached
So please respond so we can give you the details for the cash mandate deposit.
Thank you for your understanding
You can contact my husband at this number 0044-703-5956-973 for more info.
CHANGE OF TONE, DON'T YOU THINK???
So I call the indicated number, and there I find a guy, not a bit of an English accent, but rather the "African" style.
The conversation ends in failure as I refuse to proceed with financial transactions without having seen the property... and the guy hangs up on me.
To be sure, I tracked the IP address corresponding to this email, and it confirms: The user of the IP address 41.191.85.137 (41.191.85.137) is located in (Benin - ). ping 41.191.85.137

Attention to ads on Le Bon Coin, there are many scams! Never accept to pay via postal money order or anything else! Here are three response emails to my search for a mobile phone that received a similar response and asked me to pay by postal money order or via Western Union!

"I want to tell you that for the payment according to the delivery method of the courier, it will be done by cash on delivery with a postal money order that you will establish at the post office to my travel address and that you will hand over to the courier in exchange for the phone after checking and trying it out, meaning we must pre-agree on the payment between us and as soon as that is done, I will give the confirmation to the courier to come. So do not think that sending a money order means sending money directly because as soon as you make the order you must secure it with a well-defined and secret password that you keep with you until the courier comes with the phone and you give your approval for the purchase of the phone after checking the phone before handing over the receipt from the post office and the password to the courier. Obviously, if you notice something contrary to what I told you about the phone, then you are fully entitled to decline the purchase and go back to the post office to get your money back with your password. So if you agree and have no other objections, please let me know so I can give you the details to prepare the postal money order. If you had 200 €, no problem."

second scam two minutes later on the skyblog site apparently they're everywhere Your Honor Dear
When you read these lines, do not feel sorry for me, for it is the fate of every man to die one day.
My name is Williams Stanislas, I am a Swiss expatriate who grew up in an orphanage.
After several years of studies, I left the orphanage at the age of 20, deciding to embark on an adventure in Africa, specifically in Ivory Coast, where I made a fortune in the coffee and cocoa transit business in a country known as the best cocoa producer.
After all these years of glory, it turned out that I was suffering greatly with my throat, so I decided to consult several doctors. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
I have exhausted all platforms of medical treatment, and at this moment, I have only a few months to live according to medical experts.
I regret that I did not live my life especially well,
I want God to have mercy on me and accept my soul, which is why I have decided to support charitable work.
This is what I would like to be remembered for, which is why I have decided to make a donation of €2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand euros) so that with this fortune you can fulfill my last wish, which is to establish a center for orphans and underprivileged children, but I do not obligate you to carry out this work; just know that it would please me greatly to see this work in my image.
My family situation means that the Ivorian state will issue a note stating that after my death, it will seize my assets, because I have neither children nor a wife.
I had wanted to transfer these funds to Switzerland, my country of origin, but my health condition did not allow me to do so.
Until I was urgently transferred to this Guy's Hospital precisely in London where I am currently.
So all my fortune has remained in this country in Africa.
And therefore, I ask you to do everything possible to recover these funds.
For this, I will put you in contact with my notary named Mr. ISSOUF BAADHIO, he will help you gain possession of this money because there is not much time left to live.
You can contact him at the following addresses:
Private email: maitre.issoufbaadhio@yahoo.fr
Private cell: 00225 66 44 35 48
I am counting on you, know that all my hope rests on you
I ask for more security, to keep this confidential.
I will send an email to my dear notary to inform him of this

When you read these lines, do not feel sorry for me, for it is the fate of every man to die one day.
My name is Williams Stanislas, I am a Swiss expatriate who grew up in an orphanage.
After several years of studies, I left the orphanage at the age of 20, deciding to embark on an adventure in Africa, specifically in Ivory Coast, where I made a fortune in the coffee and cocoa transit business in a country known as the best cocoa producer.
After all these years of glory, it turned out that I was suffering greatly with my throat, so I decided to consult several doctors. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
I have exhausted all platforms of medical treatment, and at this moment, I have only a few months to live according to medical experts.
I regret that I did not live my life especially well,
I want God to have mercy on me and accept my soul, which is why I have decided to support charitable work.
This is what I would like to be remembered for, which is why I have decided to make a donation of €2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand euros) so that with this fortune you can fulfill my last wish, which is to establish a center for orphans and underprivileged children, but I do not obligate you to carry out this work; just know that it would please me greatly to see this work in my image.
My family situation means that the Ivorian state will issue a note stating that after my death, it will seize my assets, because I have neither children nor a wife.
I had wanted to transfer these funds to Switzerland, my country of origin, but my health condition did not allow me to do so.
Until I was urgently transferred to this Guy's Hospital precisely in London where I am currently.
So all my fortune has remained in this country in Africa.
And therefore, I ask you to do everything possible to recover these funds.
For this, I will put you in contact with my notary named Mr. ISSOUF BAADHIO, he will help you gain possession of this money because there is not much time left to live.
You can contact him at the following addresses:
Private email: maitre.issoufbaadhio@yahoo.fr
Private cell: 00225 66 44 35 48
I am counting on you, know that all my hope rests on you
I ask for more security, to keep this confidential.
I will send an email to my dear notary to inform him of this
You should contact him as soon as possible and let me know afterwards
Thank you
The phone number provided is Ivorian. It is a mobile number probably belonging to the Koz network. I confirm that this is an attempted scam. It is likely the work of young people referred to in Côte d'Ivoire as “brouteurs.” To learn more and continue to report them, see the following website:

Hello, I almost got scammed for a dog donation and they were asking me for 188 euros via Western Union. The address is as follows ( maruisseleprete@hotmail.fr).
Hello! A man contacted me on Christmas Day to offer me the donation of his house, 6 rooms with land and a pool, for a duration of 14 years in my city because he was abroad with his family. I'm not fooled; I immediately sensed the scam, and it was confirmed in the second email when he told me he lived in Benin. After a few exchanged emails filled with mistakes, he supposedly went to the Cotonou court to obtain a provisional donation certificate in my name... and the pseudo-clerk chief of the Supreme Court of Cotonou sent me the famous certificate by email!!! However, there were validation fees of 171 euros to be paid via Western Union to the accountant agent Franck Dahoueto residing at 15 Stenmiez Avenue in Cotonou. I let him stew for 2 days and then told him that I had a friend who would contact the Supreme Court, just to check, you never know. Since then, I sent him another email, and I was the one who received one from him!! It’s from the address rouquetrobert@yahoo.fr, supposedly also living in Cotonou, 22 Peace Boulevard. Just to clarify: I didn't provide my real contact information. He is looking for "people in need" to donate his house and he is asking for money. Disgraceful!!
Hello, I just saw all your testimonials that send chills down my spine and confirm that I have been a "victim" of this myself. I say victim in quotes because I obviously did not send any money. It was about a puppy donation from people located in Africa as well. I reported it to the government website aimed at dismantling all these networks; I reported them last night. This morning, the ad was no longer visible on the free ads site. I replied to the email they sent me where they asked for money, stating that I did not have that amount and that what they were doing was illegal. They just sent me another email specifying that they were "ready" to pay part of the transport and that only "100 euros" would be left for me to pay. I did not respond, but I made another report to the appropriate site. I absolutely do not know the procedures, so I don't know whether to respond or let it go. Unfortunately, I provided my name, address, and phone number. Is there a big risk? Thank you in advance for your answers, and thank you for this site that helps a lot with information for people who are a bit naive and trusting.
I am going to report an attempted scam based on an ad I posted on leboncoin.fr.
1- I receive a text message from sender 10135 asking about the availability of my camcorder (the item I am selling).
2- After a few quick exchanges, the person introduces themselves as being in ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE, agrees to the price, and is ready to pay nearly double the shipping costs via PAYPAL.
3- After fixing an amount, the person tells me they have paid with PAYPAL, then asks if I have heard from them.
4- Dated ? 2 emails from sender:
service@paypal.fr<spoofe@europe.com>
tell me:
Thank you for joining PAYPAL. According to PAYPAL's regulations and legislation, we need a shipping verification or proof of shipment from the postal service (the shipping receipt or the tracking number of the package).
Indeed, to avoid any fraud attempts and to best protect our clients' interests, we must ensure that the package is shipped so that we can credit the funds to your PAYPAL account.
and:
You have received a payment of €177.00 EUR from (laurean.christelle@gmail.com) which is being processed and will be available to you once we have received the shipping receipt proving that you have shipped the item.
This PAYPAL payment has been debited from the buyer's account but cannot be credited to your account until you have shipped the package, e.g., tracking number or a copy of the shipping receipt.
You can now proceed to ship the goods to the buyer and send the shipping information to the following address zecurity@usa.com
Specifically mentioning the details of my so-called buyer:
PayPal details of the buyer

City: ABIDJAN
Country: Cote d'ivoire
Phone number: 00225 04 39 62 93
WARNING: these emails are full of copy/paste from PAYPAL headers, links leading to "home" pages of sites, fictitious references, and above all, full of spelling mistakes worthy of an 8-year-old trying to be professional!!
I am a heavy buyer online and frequently use PAYPAL, this type of contact does not exist! Do not send your package, the money does not exist, and you would be sending your gift for free to a SCAMMER!!
I have kept a copy of all exchanges and fraudulent emails, just in case.
One good note, GMAIL automatically placed the 2 "fake paypal" emails in the SPAM category. Hoping that everyone benefits from this and especially note these details well.

Sorry Mr. VOLTE, excuse me for wanting to be precise, by including the names, addresses and incriminating email addresses (that some, whose job it is, enter into databases).
But it's true that not everyone has the presence of mind to recognize scams at first glance, like you do.
However, I don't think that having a view, if not racist, at least tinged with a sense of superiority, makes an opinion irrefutable...

Good evening everyone,
This discussion is a real delight. The gullible or those already scammed (the latter state does not exclude the former...) will they tear each other apart over the color or ethnicity of those who take them, sometimes with very good reason, for suckers? The "brouteurs" are numerous, and not just on the internet. Let everyone shed any naivety, charming at first glance, but ultimately culpable. Naivety, sometimes greed... too many good feelings are the natural breeding ground in which the "brouteur" sows. Remember that it is always you who has the decision.

No, scams coming from Africa are now sadly widespread.
What I want to denounce is the term "Mamadou" used to refer to a thief.
It's the kind of contempt that too much characterizes our colonial mindset, a bit like "niacoués" or "chichmouths"...
By the way, do you know the Belgian joke that asks how the French commit suicide?
They simply shoot above their heads with their gun, right into their superiority complex!
Come on, no hard feelings, rest assured, I'm French, of Breton origin, but I can say that I couldn't care less.

I am Mr. MESNIER Herve, a French businessman who has ventured into the field of personal assistance but only for those who are in critical financial need and who will be able, once in possession of the funds, to repay them calmly and as they were received. I opted for financial loans between individuals, which is quite different from bank loans, solely to help those who are denied loans by banks for various reasons, thus attempting to remedy this, which turns out to be somewhat of a profitable sector.
Indeed, this is a loan between individuals and a private initiative with very specific conditions. The maximum repayment periods are from 10 to 25 years as I do not want to go against usury laws. I could provide amounts ranging from €1,000 up to €1,000,000 and not more. The interest rate is 2.5% and this over a well-defined period.
In summary, I am willing to grant you loans, but honesty in all matters is necessary. Please contact me at my email: mesnier.herve@laposte.net

Hello,
I am looking to adopt a parrot. I found one and contacted them.
I received a response the same day (see below).
But I sense a scam. Am I being too cautious or am I right to be? What do you think? Spelling mistakes and the requirement to pay shipping costs have raised my suspicions.
Thank you in advance

Subject: giving away a pair of African Grey Parrots
Hello,
Thank you for the attention you are giving to my pair of African Grey Parrots. I want to tell you that I am a UN official and at this very moment as I write to you, I am already in Lille from Ouidah in Benin. I travel all over the world and I cannot provide my pair of African Grey Parrots with all the care they need, which is why I am not selling them but giving them away for good care, meaning for adoption. The parrots are still here with me and I can give them to you on the condition that you will give them all the love that the parrot couple will need from your family. They are vaccinated against all attempts of illness, they enjoy being with children and are not too aggressive. As soon as I arrived here, I entrusted them to an international animal transport agency (home delivery) that provides them with all the necessary care thanks to their veterinarian. This transport agency, which has branches all over the world, will be responsible for delivering the parrots to your home with all the necessary paperwork. But first, I would like to give you my adoption conditions:
1- Keep me updated on the parrots with photos as well.
2- Take good care of them.
3- Be able to pay the transport fees to your home
and you ask some questions:
Do you have a large space for their development?
Do you have children?
Do you have other pets?
Here are some photos of my adorable pair of African Grey Parrots.
Thank you for replying to me.

I just received the same kind of emails.
The worst part is that they include details in the advertisement.
For me, it was stated near the port of Foleux (the port of Foleux being known more by the locals)
I'll paste the two emails I received:
1ST EMAIL
Hello
Thank you for responding to the ad regarding the rental of our house. We just saw your email and would like to inform you that our house is immediately available.
Since Thursday and the price because my husband got a new job in LONDON. So our house is currently free to be occupied.
The rental price is €500 inclusive of taxes/month (all charges included). So if you are really interested, let us know so we can come down for a possible visit.
In reality, we are renting it, not for money, but just to avoid leaving it unoccupied and unmaintained.
We could establish a lease with you for 8 months, 12 months, SEE 7 years and more.
The establishment of the rental contract will pose no problem.
Regarding the deposit to be paid, we will try to define it by mutual agreement with you according to your availability.
Our allocation condition:
One month of deposit
One month of rent
That you will provide on the day of the visit as a guarantee deposit, to prove your request so that we can hold an interview with you.
We take this opportunity to inform you of the documents to be provided during the visit.
Here are the documents to provide
- 3 last pay slips
- 1 employer certificate
- 1 employment contract
- 1 family booklet
- 2 last tax notices
- 1 identity card
- 3 last rent receipts
Here’s the description of the house attached with photos in the attachments:
RIEUX NEAR PORT DE FOLEUX. House consisting of a living room/fireplace insert, fitted kitchen with fireplace insert, bathroom, and 4 bedrooms. Land of 1019 m² and another land in front of 10612 m² with a small pond.
Features
Number of rooms 6
Construction 1900
Number of bedrooms 4
Terraced yes
Type of terracing 2 sides
Sanitation Septic tank
Once the visit is conducted by you, we will have you sign the rental contract if you are determined to take the house, then the keys in return for the completed guarantee
Please respond by providing your availability so that we can schedule a possible appointment for the visit.
Mrs. Quenum
2ND EMAIL:
Hello,
Thank you for this information; it is more than enough for me to grant you this rental. This is a trust that we place in you, and we hope you will not disappoint us, our house is still available and unoccupied at the moment.
We are free on MARCH 19, 2011, for the visit at your convenience, the visit will therefore be planned for Saturday in front of the town hall of Rieux - 56350 (the street number will be given to you the day before the appointment so that you can wait for us). Please be punctual
During the visit and signing of the contract, as I mentioned, you should provide the following:
- Proof of good rent payment (if you are leaving a housing)
- Three last pay slips (if you are an employee)
- Photocopy of your identity card
The lease will be for 6 months to 1 year renewable with 1 to 2 months notice, the housing being conventioned will allow you to benefit from APL. The rent is inclusive of taxes, including charges (electricity + others) and water.
As we explained in our previous message, we are currently in London. Therefore we will need to travel for the visit. However, to finalize the rental contract, we will need a guarantee to ensure that you are really a tenant and that our trip will not be in vain given the distance because we have had to make trips for visits that ended in disappointments; either the interested parties were not present, or their deposit was not yet ready.
For the appointment to be effective on Thursday with you, one last formality remains to be fulfilled to guarantee that you are genuinely interested in renting our house:
You prepare your rental file completely, and regarding the deposit, instead of it being by check or other for security reasons and also to assure us of the availability of funds, we would like it to be in a receipt of Urgent Cash Mandate, meaning you will go make the deposit of one month's rent and one month's deposit which amounts to €1000 by Urgent Cash Mandate at the post office using our coordinates that we will give you later.
The Urgent Cash Mandate does not mean that you are sending us money but just a postal deposit to confirm that you really have availability and that you are truly interested by going to deposit the money at the post office via "URGENT CASH MANDATE" (no commitment). It is just a Postal Deposit to guarantee your desire to rent our apartment since understand that you are not the only client interested, in addition to the fact that I have been several times on false appointments so I no longer want to schedule useless meetings.
After making the deposit at the post office, you will keep the "Urgent Cash Mandate" receipt that the post office will give you and send me a message to inform me that you possess the "Urgent Cash Mandate". Then I will contact you again to confirm the appointment and I will also keep you informed once we are in FRANCE.
Know that during the visit, I commit to show you the whole house and the rest. If after the visit the house does not suit you, you will also have the possibility of going back to the post office to recover your money with the "Urgent Cash Mandate" receipt.
But on the contrary, we will proceed to the signing of the lease contract to finalize the rental and then you will hand me the Urgent Cash Mandate receipt for the collection of the mandate as a payment for the 1st Month's rent and the deposit.
On Saturday, after visiting our house, my husband will establish a rental contract according to your duration of lease and we will give you the keys to the house, then you will give us the receipt of the urgent cash mandate containing the collection information so that we can cash the deposit if our house suits you. In the opposite case, meaning if the house is not to your taste, which would surprise us greatly, you will still be able to withdraw your money with the receipt that contains the collection information. This is in a way a guarantee from my part and a reservation for yours.
P.S. To help you better understand the operation of this payment method as a very secure payment; please take note of the post office document that is attached
Please confirm your agreement so that I can inform you of the details to get the "Urgent Cash Mandate" at the post office.
Thank you for responding if you are truly interested so that we can arrange for the visit and the conclusion of the lease contract.
Hoping that this will really help.
Thank you for your understanding
You can contact my husband at this number 0044-703-5956-973 for more information.

It's very simple: There is an impossibility of pursuing individuals located outside jurisdiction (for example, in West Africa..). There is no cooperation with the Police/Judiciary of these countries.. The only solution: be curious and cautious..
See you!
