Hello, Miss Young,

It´s an authentic relief to find your site!!!

I attach a jpg image from "Babra Fred" and a word doc with the emails related to a scam coming from Togo, west Africa, my answers and efforts contacting the togo bank without any response. "The cocoa merchants" in a very actual version.

I'm a little bit worried since, as you well warn, they are criminals and they already got my address and other personal data.

It is also relevant to me the way they use even God's issues in order to appear as "good Christians" and gain confidence from their victims.

Thank you very much, indeed, and God Bless You!

Roberto

Dear  Friend
 
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into a relationship with you, I got your contact from a foreigners guest book in my earnest search  for a reliable and God's fearing person whom I can entrust, not only that, but to have you as a good friend. When I got your email I was motivated to go down on my kness and prayed over it, later I was convinced by my instict to mail you.
 
I am MISS BARBRA FRED  the only daughter of CHIEF and MRS ANITA BENSON FRED, My father was a very  wealthy cocoa merchant based in Lome, The economic capital of Togo before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business trip.
 
When my mother died on the 21st october 1984, My father took me so special  because I am motherless, Before the death of my father on 29th of march 2002 in a private hospital(CABINET MEDICAL PELAGIE) here in Lome, He secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has a sum of us$18.700,000 left in a suspence account in a bank here in lome,That he used my name as the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
 
He also explain to me That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose especial in the area of real estate management.
 
I have already since contacted this bank with regards to this deposit in my name and my intending plan to retransfer the money abroad for investment. The bank managment made me to understand that the transfer can be done oline upon my request.
Dear,I am honourablly seeking your assistance in the following ways
 
(.1)To  help me to transfer this fund from the
bank here to your account in your country
 
(2.)To serve as guardian of this fund since I am a  girl of 22 years,
 
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education.
 
Moreover,I am willing to offer you a handsome percentage of the total said amount, but I don't have to run into conclusion without our agreement.I think you have to mail me stating your wish and idea Furthermore,I will be sending to you my Pictures including every DOCUMENTS ascertained from the bank when the money was deposited by my Late Father.

Hi Babra,
I got your mail 1 and I want to tell you I’m completely out of money in order to collaborate with you if any money is needed.
Anyway, if you still want to have my help, feel free to go ahead. If is that the case, I want to tell you that México, the place I do live, is the most busiest border worldwide and there are promissory fields for investment and also for high level educational purposes.
God Bless you

Dearest Roberto,

Once again I thank you for your zeal to help me claim this fund. This is the beginning of a wonderful union.
 
For your understaning knowing you is the hand work of God not by my own power.
 
I here by give you full assurance, that this transaction is risk free provided you will protect my interest. The money in question is legal, it has no criminal record.
 
The total amount is currently deposited with BANQUE INTERNATIONALE AFRIQUE AU TOGO (biatogo). I have the deposit documents in my position. My father could not have the chance to transfer this money abroad before he pass away. For security reasons I can not transfer this fund out of togo due to the political problems in my family name, it was on this premise that I decided to contact you with hope that you will be of a good help to me. 
 
We have to really work like one family to have this goal achieved. You have to keep this transaction confidential so that nothing will jeopardise its successful conclusion.
 
At the conclusion of this transaction you will earn 30% of the
total fund.I will come over to your country as soon as the fund hits your account for the sharing.
 
Please indicate your willingness by sending your personal informations to me immediately.
 
1. YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS
 
2. YOUR TEL/FAX NUMBERS
 
3.YOUR COUNTRY
 
Upon my receipt of your response to this,I will contact you with further details on how we can move forward.
 
Your swift cooperation is highly needed.For proper accountability  and once again I am very grateful for your assistance in this transaction. please i will forward my personal picture to you as soon as i hear from you again.

Hello Babra,
There You have:

 NAME: Roberto xxxxx
ADRESS: xxxxx, México
TEL. 011-55-666-666-33
FULL COUNTRY: México
Well, there are doubts of course, but this is always a human natural condition at the starting point stage in any project… But I’m glad I see we both share deep respect to God’s mighty glory and wisdom… and I suppose we don’t want to awake His anger…  So, this is in His hands and trough the process ahead with His help and advisements we will be clearing emerging doubts… But one of the first ones I want to share with you is related to the legal origin of funds and also about taxes involved in the transfer procedures, since here my country there are quite sensitive regulations in the sense that almost nobody can made suddenly a huge bank deposit without being canalized to official verification … Is understandable since this is Mexico, I mean we are the United States backyard, and they are in a growing paranoid stage… Washington has been increasing pressure to our government in order to regulate that sort of things… Anyway, I can see you are pursuing high goals, and the closer those goals be with God’s values, the easier to achieve them having His support, while the strength of keeping a clean heart trough avoiding the other,  helps a lot.
Warm greetings
