Subject: DETAILS OF ADB IN OUAGADOUGOU
Dear Friends,

I am desperately requesting detailed information about the African Development Bank in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

I want honest people who know Ouagadougou very well to confirm to me if there is a branch of African Development Bank in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

If there is, I want to know their contact address, telephone/fax number(s), the name of their Secretary General and a reliable contact person there.

Thanks for the anticipated help.

Otta

Hi Onuotta and welcome to scampatrol.

You can research banks in Burkina Faso at the following official site:
http://www.bceao.int/internet/bcweb.nsf/pages/usys3

Looking at the complete list of licensed banks in BF :

The information you seek is readily available by doing an internet search.

Here's the official website:-
http://www.afdb.org

They don't have 'branches' they have 'field offices' in the following countries:-
http://www.afdb.org/en/adb/field_offices/contacts_of_adb_field_offices
EGYPT, GABON, NIGERIA, ETHIOPIA, UGANDA, TANZANIA

The contact page is here:-
http://www.afdb.org/en/adbcontacts

If you have been contacted by someone purporting to be from this bank and their email address does NOT end with @afdb.org then they are a fraudster.. simple as that.

How else may we be of service to you?

The ADB is not like a conventional bank, for example an individual can't open an account there. The idea behind the ADB is to fund all sorts of projects to promote the development of African countries.

Lots of info on the website:

http://www.afdb.org/en/adb/adb_group/the_african_development_bank_adb

If they claim you have an "account" there its a fraud.

Dear All,

Thanks for all your vital and cogent contributions.

Now I see that I'm a victim. I have lost a lot of money to them for procurement of one type of document or the other that were just scanned on e-mail to me and not couriered as expected. Yet the "so-called attorney they recommended for me" who claims to be working for me to claim an inheritance from the bank is threatening that he is going to sue me to international court in France unless I pay him about 38,000 US Dollars as "fees".

What do I do now that I know everything is farce? I need HELP please.

Onuotta.

please stop. i have lost USD15500 to Burkina Faso scam

ngelawan.

see below

Dear Friend,

I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you aboundantly and you would never regreat this. I am a female student from University of Burkina-Faso, Ouagadougou. I am 25 yrs old. I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left I and my junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.

I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my mother is not literate enough to know all my father's wealth. He left the sum of USD 7,350, 000.00 dollars (seven Million, Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars)in a security company.This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company(spdc)and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town.

Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the security company to your bank account and I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over. If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me. Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my picture as soon as I hear from you.

I am waiting to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely,

Princess Berryfeso(Ms).

Could you post the headers from the email please, there is information there which can help identify the origin of this scam. Chances are that it does not originate where you think it does.

Murdockh · Posted: Mon 13 Jun 2005 09:18 Post subject:

I'm assuming that you are a Malaysian, ngelawan?
The chances of you getting your money back are, I'm afraid, slim to none. The president's e-mail won't help you, if he even has one. Should you wish to contact Burkina Faso officially, you will have to visit their embassy in one of your neighboring countries, as Burkina Faso does not seem to have an embassy in yours.

Also, take notice of MSAS's advice above; post the e-mail headers here, and we can find out if it really originated from Burkina Faso.

Yes you are right. I am a Malaysian. I know I will never see my money ever again. Its a very bad serious nightmare experienced I ever had in my whole life. I just do not want others to fall trapped and vicitmized like what I have gone through. Please continue to alert others. We give them support.

Cheers,

Belawan,

This is a PUBLIC FORUM. Anyone can read it. Do not post anything here that you do not wish to be public. Anything private should be PMed (PRIVATE Mesaaged) to the recipient.

Q · Guest

@belawan: As frazzle points out above this is a public forum. Anything you post here can be read by anyone viewing the site. Therefore it is not wise to post information you would rather keep private.

I've have now removed this information from the post.

M_Saeed_Al_Sahhaf · Posted: Wed 17 Aug 2005 00:25 Post subject:

1. Rev Cyprian Mark, Director Foreign Remittance Dept, International Bank of Africa, Burkina Faso

OK this originates from onatel ISP in Burkino Faso

(2) Wilfred Mmadu (Wilfred Chambers)

Is the same person as above, same account.

(3) Princess Berry Feso (Berry Feso owner of inheritance fund)

Is also the same person as above, same account.

(4) Coulibaly Alassane (Chief Diplomatic Courier Service)

Is an accomplice in Indonesia, http://www.indo.net.id/english/ was their ISP provider.

(5) Siska Antonio (Suzie) Jakarta, Indonesia counter part

Different ISP http://www.indosatm2.com/ could be the same person as above, geolocates to Jakarta but that is not all that reliable.

------------------------------------

So the guy who hooked you was operating on his own in Burkino Faso, he has at least one possibly two accomplices in Indonesia. You can possibly use that with the local police in Indonesia if you're still in contact recently.

M_Saeed_Al_Sahhaf

Thank you very much. You meant your word by helping me after I provided you with the email headers.

Q,

I appreciate you delete the rest of the post too pertaining to the inheritance issue (Burkina Faso) if not fit for the public in this forum to view (where applicable).

Belawan,

I cannot delete your posts.

ONLY YOU (or one of the Moderators) can fix them... you'll see an EDIT button at the top right of your post. Click that and you can change the post to remove the headers which indicate your work.

Better yet, delete all the headers and PM them to M_Saeed_Al_Sahhaf.

If you do nothing, they will stay here for ever.

I don't need your email address, you can comment those out.

(1) Barrister Frank Bruno (esq) of Wynberg Chambers, Johanesburg, South Africa

South Africa,

descr: Telkom SA Ltd.
descr: Soekor Building
descr: 151 Frans Conradie Ave
descr: Parow
descr: Western Cape
descr: 7500
country: ZA

(2) Johnson Mabaso
Foreign service manager.

Probably the same person, same ISP but appears to be a dynamically assigned IP address. Also South Africa.

3) Mr Sol Siyabonga
Deputy Director
International Remittance Department.

Again probably the same person. You appear to have a single scammer playing 3 parts.

Are you still in contact with these guys?

M_Saeed_Al_Sahhaf'

Once again, thanks for your asistance.

Yes, I received an email from Barrister Frank Bruno(esq) yesterday dated 17/05/2005 asking for fee advance. He even enclosed the claim certificate. I replied that I have never authorized any one in the world (strangers) to use my email address as random for lottery in internet. Neither do our company authorized such thing. I never bought any lottery ticket from them. More over I cannot afford the fee demanded to pay this and that. I am very poor. Obviously any thing that I never authorized or familiar with is scam or fraud. Why should I pay any fee to any one whom I do not owe anything at all. In the first place, they werre never transparent. Instead full of hidden agendas.

For your information a collegue also recieved similar lottery winning from United Kingdom. U.K Lottery National Lottery. Address: U.K Lotto Headquarters, The Marina Offices, St. Peters Yacht Basin, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE6 1 HX, ENGLAND. Tel: +(44) 703194 6475. Fax: +(44) 707 505 5051. They are asking for 950 Pounds for trnaport/insurance charges etc from my collgue. Any way, we are aware of the scam.

Please could you find out genuine, listed or fake.

mirak1,

I cannot locate the edit button at the right side. Could you please as moderator delete all the email address headers in my post. Thanks.
