Complaint 221942 Details

I would like to report something that looks like a serious scam.

Five years ago I met a lady on the internet. She said her full name was Amanda Samudini Yahya Assan, her friends called her Yaatakyiwaa she lived in Bunn Kasiwa., Ghana

I have attached some pictures. The one with the umbrella is meant to be a family picture of Amanda, her biological mother on the right, and her step father who was apparently an important chief. he was meant to be very wealth with Gold mines, and Coffee plantations in Ivory . One other picture shows Amanda with her step sisters, children of the chief.

Amanda claimed to have a lot of gold which her step-father gave her. We got very fond of each other and she wanted to send to me in Cana

In October 2012 he asked if he could ship after the Ghana election. He then asked that it be shipped in the new year. When I contacted him mid January he said he would send it when he had time.

I must have spend about $40k on this. Amanda claimed she paid $200k for Ben’s commission and shipping costs.

About two years ago, the chief (Samar Dider (i.e. the father) , Amanda and the driver apparantly died in a car accident on the way to the airport. I asked for a copy of Amanda’s death certificate but he claimed Moslems did not have them which seemed unbelieveable. I also asked for a death nice and he sent me a crashed car with no details at all.

Mr Ben claimed to be the Executor of the estates. He said he would see to it that the shipment already in progress was still send to me , as he claimed Amanda wrote a will (attached but unsigned) leaving all her gold to me. He said he had to change the name of the recipient of the gold shipment to me and that cost time and money, then there was more government taxes required and Customs handed by a Mrs Taram and her boss Mr Ussif Halidu
