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.

No trackbacks.

Dear Sir,

We had received an invitation from some "Cameroun Development Assisted Project" to supply 20,00,000 pcs of T-shirts for them to distribute among the AIDS victims of Cameroun. They asked us to send proforma invoice for the order quantiy and we did accordingly. A few days later, we received an e-mail from them informing us that their contract award board approved our proforma invoice and we were allowed 2-year duration to complete the supply order. We agreed and and made arrangements with the foreign garments supplier to carryout the contract. Then they said they transfered our contract amount to their paying bank to remmit to us. One days later we got an e-mail from their bank saying that a cameroun govt. agency named NDLEA has stopped the remmittance due to absence of a Anti-Drug and Terrorist clearance certificate. They told us that we had to collect the clerance certificate from the NDLEA and for that we have to pay US$ 8200.00 via western union within a few days. In good faith, we have sent US$ 1500.00 as partial payment via W/U, but one of our expert friend told us to check eveything out through google. We have done and now found that some other people from accross the world has got same e-mail, same contents from the so-called CDAP. I think it is an organized fraud. What do you think? I don`t want any more person to be victimized by those scrupulus creature.

Thank you, Hanif Siddiqui,

The above sounds like the Advance Fee Fraud, also known as the 419 scam although I would need more details to be sure.

It takes many different faces but usually culminates in a request for a fee, usually in the thousands of dollars, for various official documents or licences etc..,

Your best defence is education. I would suggest you visit our web site and ask our staff to check it out. It's anonymous and it's free. Fraudwatchers does not accept donations.

Cameroon shirt/polo shirt scam.

Oh yes everyone, this is a well organized scam.

All the news you will receive is positive, however the simple way of knowing this is a scam is when the client asks for fees for certain documents,import license, terrorism certificate, etc.

Here they thougt they would scam this crazy girl in business. I have been in contact with a couple of scammers for over a month now. reading all the topics here, I knew the signs, but I chose to go along to see just how far they would go.

A mr Henri Lewis from Godleedsinvestments in Cameroun approached me.

NAME HENRY LEWIS

ADDRESS 120 RUE KING AKWA

COMPANY GODLEADSINVESTMENT

PHONE 00237.9249813

COUNTRY CAMEROON

..................

The government would need 5000 T of my olive oil soap. Since I knew I could supply, but also knew what the where up to, I went along. once in a while I would make comments about being afraid to get scammed. mr Lewis assured me that this would not be the case.

I actually received an e-mail telling me that I had the contract

DEAR SIR/MADAM

I took the next step and contacted the so called lawyer, the one the agent got for me "he was one of the best in the country (with a yahoo e-mail adress). ...................

"Barrister steven of Steven Chambers for to sign the contract on our behalf, his phone number is 00237 5309016 and email is steven_chamber@mail2steven.com

The lawyer will help us as he is well known attorney here.

I really need your confirmation as soon as you contact the lawyer or get the document from the committee

Thanks as we await your urgent response,

Regards

Henry Lewis"..............

(In the meantime, I also contacted a REAL lawyer in Cameroun. )

the same day I received an e-mail from the lawyer that "my agent" had found me, and afcourse he was very willing to help..............

" Concerning professional charges, You need to open a file with our chamber for us to start up our duty. The service fee is6200 Euro which 3700 Euro will be paid us in advance and the remaining $2500 after you receive payment..........

You can send this fee through

fastest wire transfer due to time factor and send the power of attorney through email. The reciever of the money should be

We hope to serve you better as we thank you for choosing this chambers.

Barrister Steven

00237 5309016

..........................

AFTER this I send an e-mail to the "lawyer" telling him how strange it is that a lawyer, who should be aware of all the scams is asking for a payment trhough moneygram (never received an answer).

I than send to both "my agent"and to CDAP an e-mail telling them that I have found a lawyer, and that he is going to represent me (silence...............)

After a day I received an e-mail from the law firm

This where his findings:

The purported lawyer is not known in Cameroon. We have even consulted the Bar Council office and his name does not feature on the list of lawyers in Cameroon. Even the Street (Rue Attach) doesn't exist in Douala. We even called him through the number you gave and identified ourselves as counsel acting on your behalf and he suddenly dropped the phone.

........

The Company Godleeds Investment does not exist in the Registry of Commerce and the street 120 Rue King Akwa does not also exist.

....

We proceeded to Ndokotti where the Committee on Contract award is supposedly to have sat and there was nothing as claimed.

I also mailed this to "my lawyer", my'"agent" and the "commitee".

well I was shocked when I received the following reaction from the comittee ( I never heard again from my lawyer or my agent, even the lawyers mail is bouncing)............................

THE LAWYER MIGHT BE FAKE.

WE WILL NOT TAKE THE INSULT.

Why do you find it so enticing to do business BACKWARDS.

If you are SELLING Sheets... they need to be PAYING YOU!

If they are really going to buy that QUANTITY, and are worried about your facilities, they will have NO PROBLEM visiting you to check it out.

If you plan to send them money you should NOT plan on receiving business or anything else from them except requests for MORE MONEY.

Dear Friends,

We have sent e mail to a few companies to ask about CDAP and we got reply from one company

as below;

Hi Dear Nuttapong,

Thank your e-mail. I think it is my moral duty to save you from a group of international cheaters who always cheat innocent people worldwide through e-mail. I checked with the Cameroon Embassy in USA long time ago, and they confirmed me that there is no office legally named CDAP. If you involve with them, they will cheat you in many different ways. They will ask you to send them substantial amount of money again and again by the name of such as: Tender registration fees, Anti-terror certificate fees etc. If you don`t beleive me, just go ahead and correspond with them. Don`t tell them that you have contacted with me. When you will receive any e-mail from them demanding money through wetern union, then just send them this e-mail which will remind them lot of things. They are born cheaters. So, please, don`t waste your time.

Thank you,

xxxxxxxx
