Advance Fee Fraud 419 scam: another example citing Ivory Coast

Yes, I am gullible. I did give my info to someone from www.indigoelectronics.us. I'm not entirely convinced that is legit or of a fraudulent nature. That is why I'm throwing this comment out there. I didn't include my SS# or banking info, but they do have my address. The idea is that I receive pmnts from their customers, distribute the $ and keep 8%. After reading the above posts this is sounding too familiar. Does anyone know anything about this outfit or what could be done with the info I did send (minus my ss#)? Is this a form of money laundering? I need work but don't need more trouble.

Thank you

Attn,

We are happy to request for your assistance because we believe that you are not going to betray the trust which we are going to lay on you, Hope all is well with you and other members of your family.

My name is Mr.Gabriel Baidoo Jr. & my sister Ms.Belinda Baidoo, the children of late Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel J.Baidoo, our father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously during one of his business meeting some time in 2008, though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by one of our uncle with him at that time, but God knows the truth!

Though we have not met with you before but we believe, one has to risk confiding to succeed sometimes in life. There is this huge amount of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars ($6.5M) and some Kilos of AU GOLD DUST which our late Father Mr. Gabriel J.Baidoo kept in a suspense account with one of the famous financial bank in Accra Ghana. our fathers lawyer told us that we should not let any of our relations to know about this because he was killed by them and if they know about it, that they will do nothing but to kill us in other to take hold of every thing, He told us that we should seek for a foreign partner abroad who will help us our guardian to transfer the money overseas and also travel with him or her in other to continue our Life and Education and also to start a Business relationship with the person who can take care of us in the future.

We are still a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do or neither do we know nothing or little about the areas of investment. This is because we have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of our father actually brought sorrow to our life, we are in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards and your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit us to ask these few questions:

1. Can we completely trust you?
2. Can you accept be our Guardian?

Consider this and get back to us as soon as possible with your full assurance that you will not disappoint us in this issue so that we can give you the contact of the bank where our late Father deposited the fund for you to contact them on how to transfer it into any of the chosen account you will provide.

Our sincere regards,
Gabriel Baidoo Jr.& Belinda Baidoo

Dear friend

Greetings in the name of God please let this not sound strange to you for my only surviving lawyer who would have done this died early this year. I prayed and got you email id from your countries guestbook which I have been with my late husband and liked to visit once more if God will in his infinite mercies.

I am Mrs. Joy Mary from Amsterdam-Netherlands, I am 58 years old, I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my brain, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that I may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.

I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child ,my husband died in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true believers. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of 3.5million dollars with the bank in Abidjan , Republic of Cote D' Ivoire .

Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confiscated.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital here in London where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. My doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies’ home.

I want you as God fearing person, to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows, I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will so on be up.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Waiting for your reply

yours in Christ,

Mrs. Joy Mary
