Mikki Dani
Complaint 140226 Details

This is a brief statement as to my communications with a Mikki Dani from the Ivory Coast, Africa.

I was e-mailed by this Mikki Dani on about 03/13/03, stating how his father was a rich cocoa merchant, that he, his father was murdered be associates and family. That his father Anderson Dani called him to his bed side saying that he left him money in a suspended floating account. His father wanted him to find someone America to invest the money with in real estate, or other types of business.

I was sent documents giving me power of attorney from the magistrate of the court, and the transfer was supposed to made with-in two weeks.

This is when all the lying and double talk started. After we supposedly paid for the lawyer, a John Idris and and a couple after him, for certificates and greasing bankers hands with gifts at the bank, I'd receive a stop order, most of the time from ECOWAS, concerning the draft was too large, needing more documents.

I was already about 18,000.00 dollars in the hole, and as I became suspicious, Mikki Dani would invoke and use the mighty name of God that he was telling the truth concerning the transfer. Anyway, this went on for about three years, in that period, Mikki claimed he was struck by a car, and had to use the money for his hospital bills. He sent me pictures of him at a hospital room with a doctor and and assistant, had sent 3,000.00 for that time period.

Then another stop order when it seemed as though the transfer was going to finally complete. When I began to get suspicious again, he turned to another baiting scam, where he had talked with some people to who would invest the money needed for the remaining certificates, they never went through any agreements. Another attempt was when I was mailed a check from California, from a Peter Falk, I had a bad feeling about that one, and yet deposited it at my bank. The check for 14,000.00 dollars was a fake. I was forced to close my account, almost suffering from an investigation from the bank and home land security.

From 2006 to 2009, Mikki turned to different angles, such as having his Pastor and wife call. Three different business associates appeared with the same out come, me sending money mostly to help Mikki eat and pay for living quarters at the church, and transfer fees and opening new accounts.

In 2009, I stopped listening to Mikki, and stopped from sending any more money to Mikki, and till this day, he still e-mails me looking for me to pay the fees from the last scam, where the money would be sent back to a Bank of England, and the bank manager assured the transfer after the taxes were paid. Funny thing the taxes came out to over 40,000.00. I asked in what form of payment, well of course it was either by western union or money gram. When I bulked, and said I would only pay by certified check or transfer directly to the bank, I met with a lot of friction.

In the last two or three months, Mikki has been e-mailing about how the bank has figured out a way to transfer the money with out the taxes and or valued sum to the Queen of England. Mikki said he need 275.00 dollars USD, and that would open an account again in the Bank of Africa, and that the money would be place on an ATM card account where I would withdraw money slowly, till I had enough to send to him so he can have a transportation air fare to the USA. We all know now of these scams are working as they did years ago, but I have receive e-mail after e-mail with the ATM card scam.

As I said, Mikki Dani is still in contact with me via the above e-mail, swearing to God that this time the transfer will go through, to end the nightmare that he and I have endured, where the only one that has had the real nightmare has been me. I have tried to use reverse tactics to have my money returned to me. I have asked for mercy to no avail. He recently sent me pictures, because I asked him to send me recent pictures of him in front of the dwelling he is residing at with the address and a date time stamp on the pictures. Of course, he sent me pictures, but not with the information I asked. I told him he didn't follow instructions again, and again. Mikki says he doesn't have the money for any more pictures, but we know why he did not do it correctly the way he was asked, he doesn't want to disclose his position there in Africa, although he has said that he would send me his address if I asked for it.

So there you have it... nine years of the same game this Mikki Dani has been playing with me, and the only reason I kept in contact was in hope that one day I'd find people like you, who may be able to get my money back from these lying thieves. If you need any more information, the pictures, e-mails, I have saved most of them, along with the western union payments which I need to look for as I hid them at the apartment, and some go back as far as 2003. Thanks and God bless...
