This is the response letter with 419 detailed scams that i sent him
To: Forday Bangura <mailto:forday4three@yahoo.co.uk>
Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006
Subject: Re: YOUR LUCK DAY!!! I HAVE THE
MONEY
I am not a fool. do not contact me again!! I have reported you.
The Pitch I recently opened up my email to this
letter:
"Sir,
I am Col.KIZOMBE Kamara, a former senior assistant leader of
revolutionary united front of sierra Leone know as (R.U.F), with me is also
(sergent) ZAKARY Sogo. Few weeks ago, we decided and made away with large
quantity of (diamond) weithging 2.98kg which has been saved and deposited in a
high security company before boarding for Dakar Senegal, where we have decided
to stay temporarily and decide on what to do with those great resources which
is our hope of life.
We got your contact from the internet and decided to contact you as an
honest and trustworthy able businessman whom we can trust and transact
business with. As a trusted and honest businessman like you, we would like you
to secure our great ressources (DIAMOND) in your care as we have decided to
order a command to the security Company to transfer our resourses to you
depending on your urgent reply to our request.
Note that this transaction demands the highest trust security and
confidentiality between us. Moreover it is risk free in the sense that i have
taken proper care of all formalities regarding this transaction. For your
assistance and co-operation I have decided to give you 15% of the total money
generated from it,s sales and 5% maped out for miscellaneous expenses that we
may occure during the process of transferring the ressource to your country.
As soos as the ressources mentioned above is successfully transferred in
to your position. We intend to use our own share in acquiring estates and
landed properties in your country. On commencement, I wish this transaction
will take 14 working days to accomplish.
On request a certificate of deposit bond of the security company,
together with the lab test result certificate of the diamond will be sent to
you as soon as i hear from you. Feel free to contact me through my phone
+221-664-52-16.
For my own interest please treat confidential.
Thanks yours sincerely
Col.Kizombe Kamara."
When I responded, I received the following letter from Col. Kizombe
Kamara's MSN hotmail account:
"Dear Robert,
Thank you very much for your reply regarding the assistance that i needed
from you in transfering my diamond to your country and in your position
pending my arrival to meet with you.
My urgent decision to contact you is based on the fact that there is a
committee curently sated up by the government of my country SIERRA-LEONE to
trace and recover all diamonds that was taken aay from the country during the
war. And there is no way that i can imagin loosing this diamond to the
committee,as it the only hope of my life. The diamond which weighs 14,220
carats and worths about USD20Mln is deposited with a high security company
here in DAKAR,(MODEL ASSETTS MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY COMPANY) waiting for my
order to be transfered to your country.
After a breif meeting with the operational director of the security
company, regarding the transfer of the diamond to your position. I was made to
understand that the company lifts and transfers diamond and other similar
items to any part of the world in coinjuction with U.K DIPLOMATIC CARRIER
SERVICE COMPANY based here in DAKAR-SENEGAL.
I was made to understand that the diamond will be lifted and transfer to
you position through diplomatic means of transfer, in the sense that the
diamond will be assigned to one of the company's diplomat as a diplomatic
personal effect, and it will not attract any airport security or customs
checking until it reaches to your position.
On request i can send to you the deposit bond receipt of the diamond,and
as well the laboratory test certificate of the diamond. I will like to remind
you once again that this transaction is only known to you and me, and should
be kept with your utmost secrecy and confidentiality until the diamond is
finally into your position.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Till then i remain with the best regards.
Kizombe Kamara."
The ProofWow. Was it my lucky day or what? I did not have to
do anything and soon I would be living in a villa in Rio, or I could probably
buy 200 D-IF's, or 60 Porsche Boxsters. I had just won the lottery. Suddenly,
I remembered my father's sage advice, "If it sounds too good to be true, it
probably is." Since I was not born yesterday, I wanted proof the diamond
existed. I wanted photos and documents. What I got from Col. Kizombe Kamara
were email photos of himself posing with what was purported to be bags and
bags of diamonds. Didn't he say he had one large diamond weighing 2.98kg or
14,220 carats? (So what if that's 11,114 carats larger than the Cullinan, the
largest diamond ever discovered?) But why quibble over such insignificant
details?
Oh yes, and what about the documentation certifying the stone as natural
and proof it was in safekeeping? I was faxed a document from the Modeal Assets
Management and Security Company of Senegal stating they had possession of a
trunk of diamonds. The purpose of the deposit was stated as being "for
safekeeping". So what if I could not read the signatures of the financial
controller or the operational director? Was it important the document looked
like it had been created by a third grader? Oh yes, and the lab report. Well,
do not look for a GIA grading report with holograms here. Instead, I received
a black and white document from the Compagnie Accreditee Laboratoire of
Senegal stating the 2.98 kg was natural. Color and clarity...what is that?
At the same time my deal was transpiring with Col. Kizombe Kamara,
another gentleman named Tidjan Ufoh was trying to sell me the exact same
stone. What a coincidence. Now I could have a matched pair! So much for our
supposed utmost "secrecy and confidentiality".
The Infamous Nigerian 419 ScamThis "diamond deal" is the new
version of a major criminal enterprise that has targeted people in over 60
countries. The scam has reached epidemic proportions and it now travels at
hyper-speed over the internet. It is estimated The Financial Crimes Division
of the Secret Service receives approximately 100 telephone calls from
victims/potential victims and 300-500 pieces of related correspondence per
day. The ruse purportedly grosses hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
What we really have here is a variation on an old scam called the 419, or
Four-One-Nine Fraud. The name originates from the relevant section of the
Criminal Code of Nigeria that deals with it. It is also known as the "advance
fee" scam in that the collection of "up-front" fees from the victim is a prime
objective. The advance fees can consist of processing fees, unforeseen taxes,
license fees, registration fees, legal fees, audit fees, insurance fees, ad
nauseam.
The 419 swindle originated in Nigeria in the 1980's. At that time,
$25-$35 million was claimed to be on deposit with the Nigerian central bank. A
multi-million windfall profit was promised for helping to wire the money out
of Nigeria to America. Victims were requested to provide a company name, full
address, phone and fax numbers, along with a bank's name, account number, and
fax number. In the 1990's, the scam changed to offering Nigerian oil at below
market prices. It is now morphing into diamonds and is targeting the gem and
jewelry industry.
Goals of the ScamThis scam has many goals. Each level vaults
the victim towards a more treacherous outcome. This is known as a scam within
a scam. Here are the details:
- If you send the perpetrators your company information, they will attempt
an "identity theft". They will use your letterhead to forge letters of
recommendation to American embassies or to con other victims. If you give
them your bank account number, they will create false documents and attempt
to make unauthorized cash withdrawals from your bank. To make matters worse,
once they have this information, it is a signal to the criminals that you
are "hooked".
- They will attempt to extract hundreds of thousands of dollars for
advance fees. After you send funds, the deal always bogs down due to
numerous hurdles.
- Once you have paid the advance fees, you must travel to Africa to
complete the transaction. This works because the victim now has time and
money tied up in the project, he has a vested interest in the deal. If the
scamsters cannot extract more money immediately from the victim in Nigeria,
they will hold him for ransom.
Recent KidnappingOn May 9,
2001 in Nairobi, Kenya, three Nigerian men were charged with kidnapping three
American businessmen in a plot to collect $5.2 million in ransom. They pleaded
innocent to all six charges of abduction and demanding money by false
pretenses. The kidnapped American businessmen were William Daniel Marrow, 60,
of Norfolk, Virginia, James Edward Harrel, 67, of San Diego, and Jurgen Robert
Ahlmann, 58, of Escondido, California. The kidnappers lured the businessmen to
Nairobi by claiming to have $9.5 million worth of diamonds to export. Kenyan
police, in cooperation with the FBI, raided the suburban house where the three
men had been kept since April 24. One American had reportedly been held in
chains since January.
Why the Scam WorksThere is an old saying, "You cannot cheat an
honest man." Obviously, the victims must have had some larceny in their hearts
and/or were blinded by greed. Although it seems unbelievable this con works at
all, it appears P.T. Barnum was right, "There's a sucker born every minute."
NigeriaEven though the documents and phone numbers were from
Senegal and Sierra Leone in my case, the scam was still probably Nigerian.
Most 419 letters and emails originate from, or are traceable back to, Nigeria.
However, some do originate from other countries, mostly West African nations
such as Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, etc. When I refused
to give Col. Kizombe Kamara the personal banking information he desired, he
offered to meet me in London. Besides Africa, the Nigerians also have a major
presence in England. In Britain, they are known for obtaining welfare benefits
using a myriad of false identities. Many fellow countrymen work inside
national and local agencies and have access to financial data and personnel
records.
It is estimated 2-3 million people out of a population of 100-150 million
in Nigeria are involved in criminal enterprises. Due to the corruption of the
political system, Nigeria is considered a safe haven to conduct these
ventures. Allegedly, many government officials are involved. It is believed
the 419 Fraud is the third to fifth largest industry in Nigeria. The scamsters
are very well organized and do excellent research in targeting their victims.
Many Nigerians are educated with excellent language skills and they understand
computers. Their job of internet mass mailing has been made even easier and
more efficient with the availability of cheap, massive, email lists. Although
they sure could use a spell checker, if my correspondence is any indication.
419 CoalitionThere is a group designed to fight the 419 scam.
It was created by C. A. Pascale of Alpha Electronics Inc., Harrisonburg, VA.
He created the group with his own funds as a public service because he was
sick of government inaction on this problem.
According to the 419 Coalition, when conducting business with Nigeria,
the following rules are paramount:
- Never pay anything up front for any reason.
- Never extend credit for any reason.
- Never do anything until their check clears.
- Never expect help from the Nigerian government.
- Never rely on your government to bail you out.
ConclusionWhen you receive one of these scam letters,
contact the U.S. Secret Service in Washington, D.C. at (202) 406-5850 or fax a
copy of that letter to (202) 406-5031. If you are an international victim, fax
a hard copy of the 419 correspondence you received to the US Task Force at
(202) 406-6930. Of course, you can always hit DELETE on your computer or email
back the numbers "Four-One-Nine". |

ardeous under those conditions. I do not need the percentage you offered

would prefer for you to help me donate a portion of what you offered to me to
better the working and living conditions of people in your country. I
know that you probably would be unable to do this under your name, but i

The "father and mother" picture has been used in other scams. For example in the Lydia Johnson story. I think the pictures are from a magazine. |

response.
Im sorry for not getting back with you sooner but my trip was extended
due to the very bad weather in Dallas. We could not get clearance to
fly back. I was hoping you would have contacted me before 2:00 on friday
so things could have been arranged. Well right now I'm stuck because so
many places here in Dallas are under water. We have a lot of
floods. I do not know how soon I will be able to send you the
money.
I did receive your picture and I thought you were very handsome.
Are you single?? Well as for me , I am single. I had a boyfriend
but things did not work out he was too jealous of my career. You know i
was thinking maybe i can arrange a trip to visit you and maybe that will speed
up the whole process. It will also be a plus because I can meet the
attorney in person and he can better explain to me what the requirements will
be and how soon we can get the diamonds. I took 2 years of pre-law so I
feel very confident we can have an educated talk. And maybe you can take
me out on a date when i visit you. would that not be pleasant?? I
thought it could be fun and maybe we can arrange it for the following weekend,
what do you think?? Let me know

Dear Mayada,
Thanks for the mail received.
I am very happy for your recommendation about my photo,Yes i am still
single,i have a girl friend before but she was a victim of war and she
died,she was the daughter of John Yomie from liberia one of the top man in my
country then and the father was assasinated as well.
I will be very happy if you come here as you said,The lawyer isn't much
committed on this transaction he is just to give us his service by procuring
the said documents to enable the firm release the diamonds to us,but if you
wish to come here to meet with me first that will be nice.
Please i would like us to finish the paper work by tomorrow so if
possible you can send me the money today so that i could receive it by
tomorrow morning and to proceed for the paper.
I called you on saturday but your reaction wasn't pleasant to me i told
you that it was me forday and you bangup the phone on me,i tried to reason
with me why you did it but i guess that you are at the superior side,it pains
me but i am not sad.
I wish to hear from you.
Forday. |

I have very good news. Because of all the extreme weather here in
Dallas, i was able to cancel some engagements i had. So i should be
able to visit you sooner than anticipated. I think i can go
tommorrow. I think it would be better if i go in person and take you the
money in that way we can go together to pay for the need documentation we
need. In this way if you should need more money, i will be there and
with the money ready so we do not suffer any more obstacles. I was
searching for some flights, (of course commercial not my private jet...im sure
its too far). Can you give me details of the nearest airport to you and
can you arrange to pick me up from the airport??? I hope so. I need a
quick response so that i can book the flight and i will withdraw $5,000.00
cash to take with me and also my bank card in case we need to spend more
money. Or if you want to suprise me and take me out to some fine dining
and site seeing. I understand that your country is at war, but i hope
that this does not intefere with us having a good time. Also i need
assistance with reservations to a nice hotel. Do you think it is too
much of an incoveniece??? I hope not because i am really looking forward to
meeting you.
I am a little confussed. You said you called me over the weekend???
Im not sure if maybe you dialed the wrong number or maybe the lines got
crossed, because remember the weather has been really bad since the
weekend. I can assure you that i did not answer your call. I would
not have pretended or hung up on you that is mean and rude. Im sorry if
you thought that I did. You should not have judged me so quickly.
I am sending you some more pictures of me. Hope you like
them. Can you send me some more of you. I really like you. I
think you are very manly. attractive. I hope you find me
attractive as well. This is why i am so anxious to meet you and visit
your country. I love traveling, but i have to admit i have never been to
your country, which is only one of the few i have not visited yet. When
i was young my father dragged us to so many conventions in so many differnent
places. I did not like to travel so much when i was young, but now i
love it. I love getting to know and understand cultures that are
different than my own. Like i told you, i am hispanic. My
ancestors are from Mexico, Spain, and Indian (Aztec). However for
generatives my relatives lived in Texas, which used to be Mexico. My
ancestors were one of the first to settle these lands. My family was
involved in ranching, cattle, and the oil bussiness. I love being from
Texas, but sometimes I feel a little caged. My family ties are very very
close, and like i said my family is very traditional. It was very
difficult for me to get into modeling because my family dissaproved.
They wanted me to persue a legal career because it interested me when i was
younger. I think we all have the right to change our minds, don't you
think?? Well eventually i moved out on my own and took some modeling
courses. Soon i was actually getting paid to do what i love. I
have appeared in several commercials even. Toward the end my family had
no other option but to accept my choice of career. Now things are
better. However my father is a little sad because he would have wanted
me to be over the financial/ legal department to help manage our estate.
Well i still assist him because he is my father and i love him. But soon
i will put more emphisis on my career. Tell me more about
yourself. Your likes, dislikes. I would like to know about your
family as well. You never really share much about yourself. I want
to get to know you so much better.
Hope to hear from you soon so i can make my reservations.
Kisses Mayada |

You have not responded to me. I do not understand why. I am
starting to believe that you do not wish me to visit you if this is the case
just let me know, i will understand. I just thought it would be
pleasant to spend some time with you so we could get to know each other on a
more personal level. I am really wanting to helpp you and be part of
your life. I do not know if u wish the same anymore. Well I am
going to be busy in a photo shoot tonight but like i said i will be free
starting tommorrow. I hope that you will respond soon so that I may
book a flight. I can not express to you how i excited I am. I
hope that you wish this as much as I.You usually respond to me very
quickly, that is why i am a little sad that you have not responded
yet. I hope that I am just thinking wrong. I'm sure that you
will like to meet me to, right?? Unless you lied and do have a girlfriend.
Maybe that is why you have not responded. I hope this is not the case.
It would really be heartbreaking for me.
I hope you respond soon because it makes me nervous not to
hear from you.

to me honey?
Hello Mayada,
Thanks for the full contents,I have told you last time that it doesn't
matter or to be necessary of you coming here if you intent to help fine but if
you areto come here because of this,i think it is not at best interest of this
transaction,because the authority will ask us to pay for the customs import
before exporting it out fromthis country and we have to insure the diamonds
which cost a lot of money but if we follow the way the director of the company
adviced us i think it is better and it is for our own good.
have a nice day.

FORDAY:
Oh I think you misunderstood me. I am not trying to go to pick up
the diamonds or anything of the sort. I really wanted to go and meet
you and take the money in person. What custom imports are you thinking
we have to pay??? I think you are getting confused. I wanted to visit
you and be available in case you needed more money. But from the cold
tone i see that you wish not to meet me and do not wish to build the trust
bond that i requested. It almost seems like you have no interest in
this. when you first emailed and proposed for us to do this business
you emphasized on the the "trust" issue and now it is almost liek you do not
want to bother with me. I dont like how you are making me feel.
I have opened my heart, well wishes, and even my wallet and you do not wish
to do the same. I really do think that you should explain why you are
being so cold.
If you were to make up your mind i could be there in your country by
tommorrow and all could be finalized by friday. Why have you changed
your mind? Do you no longer want me to help you?? Have you found some
one else to help you?? I hope not. I feel betrayed.
Pained, Mayada |

Mayada decided to stop at this point. She had some fun, she wasted some of the scammers time, and (most important) she did not loose any money. |
