African Gold/Diamond SCAM The Scammers are basically from the west african nations of Liberia Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Cameron, Mali and Burkina Fasso to list a few. The scammers always use telephone numbers/ mobile numbers which are not traceable. Victims usually come across such scammers through unsolicited emails and text sms. The scammers declare that they are in possession of Gold dust/ Gold dory bars / rough diamonds / or other precious metals / stones that will be sold at almost 50% to 70% lesser than the market price and that way the buyer has an opportunity to sell it with good profits. The Scammers do provide all the certifications , licences, insurances papers, Kimberley Process Certificates, invoices to the sellers which is all FAKE but nothing more than a Photoshop creation of these certifications. The seller will always throughout the communications with their victims use various telephone numbers. The scammers will also do phone calls to the sellers as they use illegal telephone lines, his somehow convinces the buyer that the seller in Africa is a real person. The seller will ask for maximum information from the buyer, like bank account numbers, address, telephone numbers, passport copies etc. However, the seller will never provide the buyer with such information and even if provided it will be a fake. There is always an initial amount that the buyer will have to pay for some registration, tax, paperwork etc.,which could be from $200 to maximum any amount. This money will never be returned to the buyer and eventually the buyer will never see the Gold or rough diamonds. On many occasions the seller will invite the buyer to Guinea, Ghana, Mali or any other African country Liberia to conclude the deal. I have known of many such incidents when the buyer has travelled to Africa and found himself being kidnapped by these scammers. The next step from these scammers will be to hold the victim hostage and ask for ransom from hostage’s family members. Few victims do end up getting back to their home country, but few are left dead. *Strong Warning Never travel to Africa to conclude such deals from unknown / invisible Scammers/ exporters. Never send money to these Scammers, especially they will ask through Western Union or any other money transfer office. Never declare your personal details , bank account , passport copies to these Scammers. Always verify each document / telephone numbers if you are getting tempted to do any such business deals with the Scammers
