I have got several emails asking me to help lay claims to millions of dollars. To help assist to reactivate dormant accounts in
Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.Also people from there claiming they need help to get their money from the bank as they are refugees from liberia and need to get there money out of the country.They claim that the goverment has killed their families. The amounts I have been offered range from 8 Million to 25 Million dollars and I would get 40%to 50% of the money for my help.It is all scams to
get you to pay a reactivation fee to get the funds transfered to your bank account. The fees range from $270 USD to$1,800.00 USD They are letters sent from the banks. Stating you to be the rightful owner of the account, but the account is dormant and the Bank requires you to pay the reativation fee so they can quickly transfer the funds to your account.I found out this information by playing along to see how far it goes.They send I.D. photos and Some of the bank documents look very real.I have not sent any fees to any of them.They all claim to have got my name from some kind of list. But on first contact I tell them I have no money to pay for any fees, yet they are all very persistant for me to borrow money.I was first aware of these types of scams 2 years ago because I fell for one but I had no money to send but they got my information at the time.They will also tell you it will not cost anything as they can send the millions of dollars by Diplomatic pouch, but they always will ask you to pay a fee of some kind, and you will get rewarded with millions of dollars if you help. You will get nothing. It is a scam
to get your information, or your money. All they got from me a couple years ago was my information,and that is bad enough as it is Identity Theft. These scams are from Africa.They can be very convincing.So be aware and do not reply to them.I have gathered lots of email information this time and I am more aware,It has cost me my Identity. There could be problems for me in the near future.
