Dear Miss Young,
 
It is nice to see your reporting on your website and I highly appreciate your determination to expose these scammers.

I am the recent and latest one to become a victim of Conferences scam where I already paid almost USD4,000 and they are still active and demanding more USD1,000 and I have decided to take up the challenge with the US authorities to put an end to this fraud business. ...

  Also another organization now claiming that they are genuine and they have a website also Youth World Organization in USA.  They are inviting me to attend the conference early next month.

....  If this YWO site proves to be a fake, we must get it shut down immediately.
 
...   The attached stories may be of some interest to you.  Will send you more and please feel free to post them on your website with no name or address of myself for obvious reasons.
 
Many thanks and with best regards,
 
Jerry
Y.W.O.

Confidential
 
Dear Madam Sarah,
 
Thank you very much for your kind response.  Having sent almost USD4,000/- for my individual participation in two conferences, I am totally upset and broke.  I shall send a separate mail to your forum for my participation.
 
Meantime, I request you to kindly have this matter resolved ASAP.  All the below 3 parties (Tarina, Madam Sara in US and the lawyer in Dakar) are still in contact with me even today and I told them I will be sending the fresh demand of USD600/- also shortly.
Lawyer always insisted on sending money thru Western Union only in his name or his Secreatry Aziz Mustapher and he promptly acknowledged all the remittances by emails to me within minutes which I was copying to Madam Sara and Tarina.  Tarina still sends me mails practically every day.
 
The Email addresses involved in the scam are as per below :
 
An invitation was sent to me by a Lady Dental Doctor Ms. Tarina William - Age 33 Years [Picture Enclosed] I met on www.fropper.com her profile on fropper ID tarina as a friend a couple of months ago.  She is living in New York but her parents are at Texas she stated.  Her Email ID : tarina william whatsup_tarina@yahoo.com  She never disclosed any other info about her to me.
 
She mentioned that she is deaf  and as such, she can not give her phone number as she can not talk properly.  She also said Madam Sara is the secretary of this Forum and she will accept me as Tarina's friend and Tarina herself is a permanent member of the Forum. 
 
Then Madam Sara confirmed by Visa approval by the US bureau of Immigrant Affairs and asked me to reserve my hotel bookings at Dakar, Senegal by sending money in advance which I did thru MoneyGram  Money transfer USD530/- (Receipt attached).
 
Forum Secretary Madam Sara Schwend
Email ID : Forum U.S. National Youth  youth_forum@excite.com
 
After booking the hotel, Forum Lawyer  Mr. Sabino Nelson C. Nosa of OKUTA LAW CHAMBER
Contact Nos. 00221-470-3642 and once he called me from : 00221-5909522 for money.
RUE/60X61 COLOBAN; Dakar, Senegal, West Africa
Email ID global_advocate@lawyer.com just few days back he gave an alternate ID
global_advocate@yahoo.com
but he removed the first Email ID of lawyer.com now.
 
He asked me to send 285 Euros to make non-terrorist certificate and Madam Sara supported it.  After sending that amount thru Western Union to the lawyer, he sent the enclosed certificate by Email and asked me to pay more 600Euros as legal fee for the certificate which I was not ready to pay as he did not inform me about it before.  Then he threatened me that he stop my US Visa process and Madam Sara also sent me an Email stating that it is official and I should pay it immediately.  Then, I sent mails to Interpol at US DOJ, Indian Embassy in Dakar and also Dakar Embassy in Oman aksing them to confirm if such a high cost of a simple piece of paper is justified or not.  But none of them responsed to me and I was compelled to pay thru MoneyGram in 2 instalments of 300Euros each.  No receipts were issued for total 885Euros towards non-terrorist certificate.
 
Then lawyer demanded 910Euros as cargo charges  to send the trunk with a heavy gift and all the documents including my Air France ticket.  When I referred to Madam Sara she sent a mail to send only 210Euros and the rest 700Euros will be paid by the Forum.  When I sent 210Euros, by MoneyGram, lawyer confirmed the package had no Insurance and asked me to send similar amount which I sent again after confirming with Madam Sara. 
 
The Cargo Cmpany details given are :
LYON TRUST SECURITY AND DIPLOMATIC COMPANY, DAKAR, SENEGAL
Carrier Service,
Leopold Sedar Senghor Airport
Dakar, Senegal
Names of the Staff : Diplomate Mr. Henry Freemen
                              Viv
Then Dakar Lawyer sent me an Email saying that I have to send 600USD for the Diplomate Mr. Henry Freemen to bring the package to me personally which will be fully refunded after the conference.  After confirming with Madam Sara, I sent this money als thru Western Union.  Then the lawyer confirmed by Email that the package is shipped and I should expect to receive it in 3 working days time.  After one day, i received an Email from SENEGAM MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIR  with a name Jsmes Swath (copy enclosed) saying that my package was stopped for want of some insurance release bond statue which I suspected very much owing to its non-govt. Email ID and the Ministry title which I compared from their govt. website.  When contacted Forum and the lawyer, I was told to pay 560USD without which my package can not be forwarded.  I sent this amount also by Western Union.  After receiving this amount, lawyer now damanding another 600USD as his legal fee for this insrance release bond which I tried to negotiate but Madam Sara, Lawyer and Tarina are telling me to send as the time is running out for the conference starting on the 16h August at NYC GWA Conference Hall .  But Madam Sara also said if all the participants don't get their packages by this week end, it may be postponed also further.  She already postponed one month 16th July to 16th August.  This may give us a clue that they may wind up their racket by end of this week also So, in all about USD4,000/- I sent to Dakar, Senegal by money transfer.
 
I found your site only yesterday when I confirmed that I have been scammed by this Tarina and Madam Sara.  I am sure, there are so many other participating victims in their racket.
 
I shall be grateful if you could kindly have this matter investigated and arrest all these 3 criminals who are STILL active till this moment.  This is the only way, we can suspend these scams I am sure.  ...
 
I shall be grateful if you could kindly do the needful IMMEDIATELY and arrange to recover my moneys which I am prepared to spend for the Conferences being held by your Original Forum.  Kindly inform me the exact dates of the Conference you are going to hold.  I also like to join your Forum as a permanent member if you accept me.  ...
 
I never expected Tarina William to act in love with me and payed a key role in this scam.  She must be doing same thing to many other innocent people as their modus operandi.  I doubt her photo, name and profession are true.  ...
 
Please let me know if you need any other information or details as I have saved all the mails from all the parties and can provide you for further investigations.
 
Thanking you and with best regards,
 
Jerry
