Fraud or Genuine

Shahid Athania. (59.183.11.133) -

Dear Sir,

we have been asked, by a Local in Cameroon who claims to be agent there through an advertisement in News Paper, for samples and tender documents to enter a bid for t-shirts required by ministry of sports cameroon. We sent 7 best quality expensive peices of samples and documents including company profile, performa invoice etc... we sent it all. Now they say that the Contract Is Been Awarded To Us, and also mailed us Original Scan Copy of Contract Registration Certificates, Contract Award Certificate, and Certificate from Ministry of Sports (TOUNSITAYOU CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTEE).

Now they are asking us to pay USD: 4560.00 as registration fee to register ourselve as "A" Category Exporter as per the requirement of GOVERMENT OF CAMEROON.

IS IT A GENUINE TRANSACTION. SHOULD WE PAY THE AMOUNT.

PLEASE REPLY AT EARLIEST, BECAUSE IF THE TRANSACTION IS GENUINE WE DONOT WANT TO MISS THIS CONTRACT.

REGARDS,

SHAHID ATHANIA.

I think you can be assured that you'll never see your $15, 000 again or any order for tshirts and certainly not any payment for tshirts if you actually got an order.

You can just assume anything coming out of Cameroon, is bogus. You should also never buy a pet that you don't personally meet and take home (and not just for reasons of fraud).

If the "pet" is coming from overseas, especially Africa you can also be pretty sure that there is no "pet" and the people are only trying to steal your money. That goes even if the pet is offered "free" as sooner or later they will ask for money for something or another.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

In response to all posts with regards to african emails, I would like to inform that all these contract emails originating from Cameroon, Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Senegal etc. are SCAMS. NEVER EVER SEND ANY MONEY TO THEM.

Never send them any samples or money remittances as registration fee or commission charges etc., as they are all scams and nothing else. Never disclose your personal, company, bank details to them especially by email, they will misuse.

Play smart and save yourself.
