IT STARTED IN NIGERIA AND WOUNG UP IN CANADA. WE WERE FOOLS.

IT ONLY COSTS US 3000.00 BUT WE ARE LOW INCOMED SO IT MIGHT AS WELL BEEN A MILLION. :oops:

WE WERE PROMISED 7 MILLION. THEY HAD AN UNCLES NAME THAT DIED AND LEFT US THAT. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS , ALSO FAXES WE WOUND UP WITH NOTHING. FUNDS GOT TO A BANK CALLED GRANDE SECURITY TRUST IN CANADA AND THEY WANTED 8000.00 TO PRODUCE TWO CERTIFICATES IN ORDER TO FINISH TRANSFER. FINANCIAL ADVISOR AT THE BANK SAID MONEY WAS THERE TO GO SPEND SOME MONEY.

WE TRANSFERED 120000.00 INTO OUR BANK AND AWAITED FUNDS. IT STOPPED PENDING TWO FORMS NOT WITH THE TRANSFER. :oops:

ATTORNEY IN NIGERIA BOOKED ON US AND NOW WE CAN NOT LOCATE ADVISOR AT THEIR BANK. :evil:

WE BELEIVE THE FUNDS WERE THERE BUT THEY FOUND A WAY TO TAKE IT. :twisted:

WE FOUND THIS A WAY FOR MEDICAL HELP AND TO GET OUT OF DEBT, BUT DESPERATE PEOPLE DO NOT THINK STRAIGHT WHEN THAT KIND OF MONEY LOOKS THEM IN THE FACE. WE ARE HONEST HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND WOULD LIKE REVENGE, BUT WE DO NOT WANT ANY LAW ISSUES IN OUR LIFE.

WE HOPE TO GET THE WORD OUT ON THESE SCAMMERS. DESPERATE IN OREGON FOR SUPPORT.

Please dont kick yourselves for this, most all of us here have been gotten by these scammers. We understand and are here to help in any way possible.

The biggest lesson I have had to learn through this is to stop kicking myself and work towards resolve and getting this put behind me as soon as possible.

A very typical 419 Advance Fee Fraud.
Fake Bank.
Fake certificates.
Fake lawyer.
Fake financial advisor.
There were definitely NO funds.
You would be expected to pay for legal fees and certificates for as long as you were willing and able to continue sending money.
Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that you will ever achieve your desire to get revenge because the scammers will by now have adopted new identities and moved on to attempt to scam others.

A small tip namdoogls, it is not a wise move to use your email address as a username. You are asking for any so-minded undesirable to contact you.

Actually, it's also because fraud victims are automatic marks. They are more likely to fall for another scam than someone who has never been scammed before - strange, but, sadly enough, all too true. This is something that's very important to remember if you ever get scammed: be VERY careful afterwards, because if a con artist knows you've been had, they know you can be had again, so they will try to do just that.

I have to disagree I believe that if you are scammed you are much more leary about who you do business with anyone you don't know especially someone overseas. If this is true where are your facts? I would like to see this wealth of knowledge you seem to have access to :roll:
