\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Dear Sir, First of all, let me fully introduce myself. I am Mr. Philippe DACOURY, I am working at one of the leading banks in Ivory Coast, West of Africa; l am the director of the Accounts Department. I am writing to ask for your cooperation to enable both of us take advantage of a good opportunity that is at my disposal at the bank for investment purpose. I found your contact details on the internet while l was doing a search, so l decided to contact you to seek your cooperation. Please before going any further, l want you to know that this proposal is serious and it’s not a joke. So l advice you erase any doubt you might have about my proposal, my intention is genuine. I want you to give me your total support and l promise you will not regret doing so. Here are the details of my proposal: There is this anonymous fund totalling 6.500.000 Million -DOLLARS that has been floating in a suspense-account for some years now. The money was part of huge funds the government made available to the bank for onward payment of arms and ammunition ordered by the government at the outbreak of the civil war that is now over. The former bank director who was an ally of the country's President, was the one handling the purchase of arms for the President. In doing so, he syphons some of the money for his own personal aggrandisement. But this very amount remained in the suspense account because the former director died before he could transfer the money to his foreign bank account. In view of this, l have decided to look for a foreign partner that can provide a foreign bank account for me to transfer the money to for investment purpose. This is the reason why l have contacted you; I want you to be my partner in this deal so that l can transfer the money to you for us to go into investment partnership. You will get 30% of the money for your cooperation; I will also take 30%, the balance 40% will be set aside for a joint investment that will be owned by both of us. Please note that this is not one of those internet mails that tend to seek for people's bank accounts in order to steal money from it. For the purpose of this deal, you can open a new bank account with little or no money in it. All l need in order to execute this deal, is a foreign bank account. It will please you to know that there is no risk involved in this deal, as soon as the transfer is effected to your nominated bank account and you confirm to me that your account has been credited, l shall at once delete every information concerning the transfer from the bank computer system, so as to erase traces of the wire transfer. Then l shall travel to meet with you in your country for the sharing of the money as agreed. You might be finding it difficult to come to terms with my proposal, but l tell you this today; If you where in this part of the world where l happen to come from, you will not let this opportunity pass you by. In this part of the world, there is no welfare or any other form of government support for the citizens. Here in Ivory Coast, over 45% of the population live below poverty level, no good pension package. Imagine after putting in over 30 years of your active life working for the government, you have no house of your own to retire to as a pensioner. What l am about to do is not only going to better my life now and after retirement, but also to guarantee better future for my children and relatives. If you finally decide to cooperate with me in this deal, here is how l intend to professional execute the deal: The 6.500.000 Million -DOLLARS is currently in a suspense account among other funds; wire transfers are never effected from suspense accounts. Suspense accounts only holds funds for which decision on what to do with the money has not been reached by the bank. To enable me transfer the money, the money has to be deposited in a current account; and thereafter, the account owner will have to give wire instructions for the funds to be transferred. Now you might be wondering who is going to provide the current account into which the funds would be deposited before transfer can be effected. For my safety and dignity, this deal requires 100% secrecy and confidentiality, l can not seek such service from anybody locally here in this country. There is this current account that have been dormant for about 4 years now, the account owner has long since depleted the account, leaving it with the opening balance. The owner of this account have stopped operating the account; this is the account l am going to use. Being the head of the accounts department, l can easily change account information in our customer data base. So to secure a current account for this purpose, l will use the said dormant account. All l have to do, is to delete all the personal information of the account owner and replace them with your personal details; thereby temporally making the account yours. When l have successfully replaced the account information with your details, l will then credit the account with the 6.500.000 Million -DOLLARS. The next step marks the conclusion of the deal; in this final stage, l will send you a specimen of an application requesting wire transfer and account closure. Your reason for requesting account closure is because of the unending political crises in the country. Usually, as an account owner, you must be physically present at the bank to complete this process which involves the signing of all the documents pertaining to account closure and wire transfer instructions. But asking you to come down to this country will not be a good idea because there is a photograph on every account. Here at our bank, account owner's photographs are password protected. The password is of two combinations; the first half of the password is entered by the Head of Accounts Department (this is me); while the other half of the password is entered by the account owner. So to delete an account photograph, the account owner and I must be present to enter the password. For this reason, asking you to come down here will jeopardise our success in concluding this transaction since l do not know the other half of the password. The only way you can do the signing of the documents without encountering any problem, is using the services of a lawyer here in Ivory Coast. The lawyer will have to make the submission on your behalf and sign all the necessary papers pertaining to account closure and wire instruction. To enable the lawyer do this on your behalf, you will have to send the lawyer a written special power of attorney that will give him legal right to act on your behalf. When we get to this stage, l shall send you a specimen of the Power of Attorney so you can transcribe it and send to the lawyer. You don't have to worry about this, l shall guard you through the process. When l send you specimen of the application, all you need to do is to transcribe the application on official paper, have it duly signed and send it to the lawyer that will make the submission. When the lawyer contacts the bank submitting your request, the accounts department will be referred to for validation. As you already know, the accounts department is my department, so l will handle the validation process. On giving my approval, your lawyer will be invited to complete the process of funds transfer and thereafter closure of the account. When all this is done, the remittance department will then effect the wire transfer to your nominated bank account as stated in your application. When the money is finally transferred to you and you inform me of the presence of the money in your bank account, l will then delete every traces of the transaction from our bank system. When l have finally erased all traces, l will then put in application for retirement and thereafter travel to meet with you for onward sharing of the money as agreed. To enable me carry out the first phase of this deal, which is replacing the account information of the dormant account with your personal details, you will have to send me the following information: Full name: Contact address: City: State: Occupation: Tel #: Fax # (if any): Your passport copy: This correspondence contains full details of the execution of the deal, and if you follow my instructions correctly, the transfer will be effected to your nominated bank account within 7 banking days from the day the lawyer submits the application on your behalf. If you have any question in respect of the execution of this deal, please do not hesitate to ask. Again, l know that in your country, the banks will ask you for the source of the money. I also took that into account, and for this reason, l will provide documents to show that the money is for investment from a would-be foreign investor who has decided to go into partnership with you in your country. Thank you once again for your readiness to execute this deal with me; and l promise that you will not regret doing business with me. The only thing you will have to promise me, is that you will not mention this deal to a third party. Because you telling somebody else about this deal, can jeopardise our success in executing this deal. So please keep this deal to yourself until the money have been transferred to you. Best regards, M. Philippe DACOURY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mead107 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 If you get the money we all get a cut. A friend at work just went through his dad giving $250,000 to some people in NJ that promised him millions. His dad is in his late 80s with some problems. All sorts of law enforcement people involved Very hard to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is revolting to see the number of scammers whether home repair, "investments" or whatever are pushed on elderly people who may not be of sound mind. It is just sick.

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I'd be pretty careful about doing business with Mr. Dacoury. I found evidence that the account has indeed been around for at least a few years, but it used to have 7.5 million Euros in it. If it now has only 6.500.000 Million dollars, somebody has already taken a withdrawal of some of the money. Be careful! http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&p=91544 First of all, let me fully introduce myself. I am M. Philippe Henri DACOURY, I am working at one of the leading banks in Ivory Coast, West of Africa; l am the director of the Accounts Department. * * * * * * There is this anonymous fund totalling 7.5 Million-EURO that has been floating in a suspense-account for some years now. It would be interesting to send the guy the above link and ask for an explanation of what happened to the rest of the money, but I'm not gonna provide my e-mail address. Any risk-takers in the cause of entertainment? Edited August 23, 2014 by ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 GBID - Don't do it. This is a scam! This guy is not real and I can attest to the fact that he has stolen millions from people. In fact, I recently discovered those of us contacted by him are entitled to damages for unsolicited email requests. As such, I created a class action lawsuit in the Ivory Coast Judicial District and retained the firm of Skrewit, Imadink and Payamee to handle this matter. As lead plaintiff, I was responsible to pay the up front retainer of $300,000 . In order to join this class action, I am asking other would-be plaintiffs to contribute toward the retainer. By paying $1000 you will be entitled to share in over $20.000.000. Not a bad return on investment, right? Please visit www.fergypaidthesharks.com and you can make your $1000 payment. From that point, start counting the ways you will be spending your fortune because we a movin' on up. Yours with warm South African regards - Fergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
