David Coker Its Very correct but strange Cotonou - Atlantique - Benin 2009-08-15 04:55:33 Yes I admit the fact that there are fraudsters (Spammers) in Benin Republic but these cyber crimes and other social vices are handsomely being committed by Nigerians here. I am a pure Nigerian, living in Benin Republic. Nigerians frustrated by the Power Failure in their country come to Benin where there is stable power supply and uses all their times in the Cybercafes advancing frauds of the highest order. This is an evidential claim. If you want to know the truth, you can come and do a survey here in Benin or you try and speak with them on the phone and observe the accent. Benin citizens are innocent of these charges: they cannot speak and write English, they are not socially well informed to do such things, the economic life is so poor that they cannot afford the fees being charged in Cafes for a whole day browsing. Nigerians are causing problems for Benin residents in terms of raiding shops, robbing banks with powerful riffles, etc. Please I dont know how far this naked truth will go. Im begging of whoever is interested to knowing the real fact should come to Benin and see the people that are involved. BENINESE are INNOCENT. Nigerians are the THIEVES...come and see. arief Mrs Mukette swally bogor - west Java - indonesia 2009-04-11 11:25:28 Attn Arief, We have concluded arrangements to effect the payment of your overdue sum of $780.000 through Western Union Swift Money transfer services today but your details: please you have to reconfirm your full names and current address, occupation,telephone numbers Sex, Age including your indentity card and that is required as soon as possible for the payment to be made.

But i seem to think otherwise,thats why we have decided to look for someone responsible and genuine We are not exactly looking for a swap since we already are comfortable with where we live at the moment but we are more concerned about finding responsible and genuine tenant to occupy and respect our home and properties.

Susie match.com scammer clare - michigan - usa 2009-01-18 09:28:59 meet a guy on match.com, his wife had died 3 yrs ago and he has a 6yr old daughter. He was from Amsterdam ,but moved to Texas 15 yrs ago. He now is in Benin,but will be back in a couple weeks and will come see me before he goes back to texas. Now he cant pay his motel bill and needs $1000.00. He sounds so sweet, but playing with the heart of a widowed woman is just wrong! I feel in my heart, he is a scammer.I did report him to match.com (he had 2 different profiles) Mark Benin scam Cary - NC - USA 2008-12-24 09:39:36 Met a woman on a dating web site. Said she was a model stuck in Benin with no money or credit card. Family all dead. Wanted money sent Western Union. Didnt believe it, but I checked her story. The hotel she was alledgedly at doesnt exist. All lies, stories, deception. Said she was 33, originally from NC. Name is Helena Mel EB. Benin Dating check for money scam bloomfield - IN - US 2008-12-02 15:44:50 met a man on match,com...he seemed very nice said he was an artist and a jeweler. He stated he was Dutch-American, when started talking on match he wanted me to go to Yahoo IM to talk, he told me he had moved back to the states 2 years after his wife died of lung cancer and he had an 8 year old little boy..he had even told me he moved to Bloomington, IN as his father used to be in the army and he had known about Bloomington. He had only been Bloomington for 2 weeks when he went to an art exhibit in Cotonou Benin Africa.....and he had been there for a week...and would be back in the US in 3 weeks. After he established some trust and promised me the world he wanted a favor, he told me he had over spent and needed some money, he had a client in the US that was going to wire $9000.00 dollars on to my credit card and then he wanted to have me then go and get a cash advance and western union the money to him, I told him I didnt have a credit card, he said a check would be sent to me for $4500.00 and I need to cash it and then send him the cash, When I asked why the client couldnt wire the money to him, he said the client was an organization( he never told me the name of the organization) This man sent me 2 doz. roses to my work, told me he couldnt eat or feed his son and they were going to beg at a reception at the art exhibit, he had me worried and at the same time almost had me convinced of his story. I however went by my gut feelings called my bank and reported and Match.com and he is indeed a scam artist. his name was at that time Michael William Jones and his 8 year old little boy, William. So be aware of this man and his sob story, and his fairy tale telling ability and his wonderful charm. Amir Scams from Benin ShenZhen - Guang Dong - China 2008-10-30 11:49:26 Tonight i have recieved a suspicious Email telling that , i am going to receive 5000. US$ throught the western union and this would continue till the total sum of 900,000. is paid on a daily basis through the western union !! They have sent me a western union control number , name of the sender but no address and a text secret question to answer ! What is this new trick is all about ? Thanks for responding ! Amir J Yahoo Personals - Benin scam Northern California - CA - USA 2008-10-17 04:38:28 Similar to others here. I was contacted tonight by someone on Yahoo Personals. When I viewed the message, her profile was already deleted. She left me an e-mail address. I played along eventhough her broken English gave it away. She returned my e-mail and said to go to Yahoo Messenger. So I did that. She said her name was Jessica Miller from Paso Robles, CA. She was born in London and grew up there, but moved to the US 15 months ago. Said she travelled a lot because her mother was British(whatever that means). Currently shes in Benin. She said she met some guy on couples.com and sold everything she had to be with him for eternity. She said he offered her a lucrative business opprtunity in the oil film business. Never heard of that before. She said when she got there he demanded the money and wanted to run away from her so she put all of her luggage with a private security company and went to the hotel she is contacting me from. Man they think were stupid! I kept playing along. They want to open you up...make you feel comfortable...even willing to have you ask them some questions, but eventually they grow weary and start asking you what you do and why are you avoiding their questions. She asked me for some pics of me. I told her to send me the pics she offered me in the beginning. She asked me if I was tired and I said no. So she said lets share some pics before we go to bed. She sent me one picture that was unviewable and never responded again. She never actually asked me for money but when the story was coming I was waiting for the pitch. i think they figured out I was on to them. When she asked what I did I said nothing, Im retired right now....lol Nice try! Lisa Benin scams Asheville - NC - USA 2008-09-26 06:43:16 I recently received an Email from DR.Mrs.SERAH ALAN this is exactly how it is written-I pasted it here saying that I should contact her/his (at one point in the email this person is called he then a few sentences later a she)personal account manager for my share. Now what share this is I dont know. It does say I could not forget all your support and all the cash you spent all those times. Now I havent the faintest idea who,what,when all this is supposed to have happened but according to the Dr all fees have been pais and I have a Gold Express credit card ATM (pasted again) with 2.8 million us dollars on it they just want my info again because all my info was lost or misplaced except for the email address. I am getting these all the time now. Its always from Nigeria or Africa or Europe and its either Im the next of kin or lottery winner or like this one repaying me for support received. I know they are all scams. People if you get an email saying u are going to get a bunch of money its a scam. Nothing in the world is free so be careful and never give them any personal info!!

Michael Hughey Possible Scam Virginia Beach - VA - USA 2007-07-08 19:26:06 Had a young lady of 26 years contact me through MySpace. We exchanged several e-mails and had a very long first IM session on Yahoo IM. She says she works for a foundation that gets some support from UNICEF in Benin. She says she runs some sort of housing for Benin children. On the first IM session, she asked a lot of personal money questions. She says her father immegrated to Texas from South Africa, while her mother is from the UK. She sent me pictures of herself and herself and her sister, who is a bobby in UK. Also sent a picture of her brother, who apparently was a staff sergeant in U.S. Army. On 3rd or 4th IM session she said she wasn-t feeling very well and just hated to ask me for a favor of me sending her $200 so that she could go see a doctor. Said she was running a temp. I haven-t gotten any e-mails or IM from her since July 5th when I told her that I just didn-t have any money to send her. I really didn-t. I had previously had two russian "women" try to scam me out of $1000 each for plane fare. I didn-t send them money either. I-ve Googled just about every key phrase from this woman-s e-mail that I could think of. I-m still not sure if she is playing me or not. I-m 48 and don-t really think ANY 26 year old woman would waste their time on me, come on really! If it sounds to good to be true....you know the rest. Anyone out there with a similar contact out of Benin?
