Hi Scambook,
(with my condolences to Mr T Schmidt),
This scam is very, very pushy and sophisticated, and started in about July 2010, when I promptly searched Google and found no complaints. Niklas Bengtsson AKA Eric Charnely Jnr (Eric Charnley proves to be a legitimate UK lawyer when I subscribed to a UK legal wbsite, and has no criminal proceedings or problems in his practice) AKA Anslem Imafidon of Benin City Nigeria, is a very smooth talker. I should have been suspicious, in retrospect, despite his sweet talking, about his poor manners in failing to end his calls with a polite "Goodbye".
It was not until 22/2/13 that I again searched Google and found Mr Schmidt and others had also fallen victims to a less sophistated version of the same 'legal fees' scam.
I would like to see Police action and recover my losses, which are substantial after two and a half years of being prompted into sending fortnightly 'funds' which started to Eric Charnley's two secretaries and then moved to Anslem Imafidon of Benin City, where his daughter is supposed to have been on a 'field trip' for the last year and a half, thus arousing my suspicions. Please contact me privately, scambook moderators, considering the large amount of 'funds' involved.
I have been regularly sending scam information to Autralia's ACMA, never realising how smooth Niklas Bengtsson, who stated that he was a QC, could be. He now has my silent mobile number, and has a premium service line to call, which is making me suspicious of private calls, although for my own reasons (in my case, I have been a victim of crime before and am totally law abiding) I have a private number myself.
Please take action ASAP. Many thanks for your assistance, as I am unsure in which direction to now turn, whether to the Australian Federal Police or Interpol? The other Email address I have to contact fortnightly is [email protected]. I have legitimate relatives in the United Kingdom, from where my family originates, including one of the same first and last name, which is why I fell victim so thoroughly. The 'funds' are again tied up in the National Bank (or is it the First National Bank?). I have been promised the precise same amountof money as Mr T Schmidt, and wish it had been posted when I first began online enquiries.
Cheers

P.S.: Please exercise extreme dicretion, as I recently had to 'uncrash' my PC twice and change all of my passwords after two serious computer viruses, costing me circa a further $240. This is despite having a competant firewall and updating 'virus protect' every single day without fail! I am now getting multiple other suspicious Emails stating they represnt Mr Mueller 111 and REV Williams of the FBI and other bodies who are all listed thoroughly on Google, furthering my suspicions. A local lawyer said it could even be legitimate, so sophisticated is the original scam letter (much, much lengthier and more thorough than Mr Schmidt's), when I contacted him initially for advice. I have been very cautious about my private details, in every instance, and can assist you in your enquiries further, once I hear back from you.

  • Seeking Resolution: Other
  • Refund and action via whatever the appropriate Policing body is (whether Australian, United Kingdom, Interpol or Nigeria). I am being stalked after falling victim to serious Domestice Violence and request that you keep my details (address, name and silent mobile number) strictly CONFIDENTIAL, for my safety. The perpetrator works on computing systems for the same body my ex-husband works for. Many thanks for your assistance.
