Bride in the mailbox

An African princess with a million dowry is looking for a Voronezh guy with a bank account. How it's done

Immediately, several Voronezh residents who advertised on dating sites on the Internet received an email from a princess from Senegal. Her name was Linda, and her last name was Omini. In the photo, the girl looks very attractive. Fate...

Immediately, several Voronezh residents who advertised on dating sites on the Internet received an email from a princess from Senegal. Her name was Linda, and her last name was Omini. In the photo, the girl looks very attractive.

The fate of Princess Omini turned out to be tragic. Her parents were captured and shot by evil rebels from wild African tribes. And poor Linda was put in a filtration camp. True, she was not at all poor (in the sense of the savings of her murdered parents), but she had no one left in the world and no one to turn to for help. She was visited only by an old pastor who has a mobile phone (attached) and the ability to access the Internet. There, in the virtual world, the pastor noticed a kind guy from distant, snowy and romantic Russia. Then Linda read the accompanying questionnaire and realized: this guy is her destiny! Now she wants to escape from the African hell to sweet Russia. She is not even afraid of snow, frost and bears, she is ready to learn how to drink vodka and play the balalaika...

Several guys immediately fell for the sultry African beauty and sent her words of consolation from the very center of romantic Russia - Voronezh. Soon, all of them, not knowing about each other, received just a magical response message from Linda.

It turned out that Linda Omini is not some kind, but a real princess of an ancient African family. Linda's father, the late Dr. Joseph Omini, has $3.7 million in a bank account. This, of course, is not much, but with a modest life it should be enough. This money should be urgently pulled out of the country, embraced by turmoil. Transfer them, for example, to Voronezh.

Princess Omini turned to a new acquaintance with an almost official request: to open a bank account in her distant Voronezh, to which she would immediately transfer family savings. First you need to contact the management of the bank where the money is stored and confirm your authority. The princess provided details:

THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND INTERNATIONAL
Mr. Clayton Davis
Foreign Operation/Wire Transfer Dept.
Telephone number 00447040132191, 00447040102994
Fax 447040132191
Email rbsintltd@myway.com
ACCOUNT NO 026004093

Some of the recipients of the letter immediately made inquiries and found out that it was one of the world's largest banks headquartered in London. The aforementioned Mr. Clayton Davis, who was contacted by Linda's aroused fiancés, informed each of them that it was indeed Lady Linda Omini who approached the bank about $3.7 million in Dr. Joseph Omini's account. The bank is ready to send this money to an account in Voronezh, but this requires three documents: a certificate of death of Dr. Omini, a document confirming Linda Omini's right to dispose of this money, and a power of attorney certified by her in the name of the Voronezh friend of the princess.

A pastor named Divine Victor was immediately contacted by phone in a letter to the princess, and he mournfully informed in broken English that it would not be possible to talk to Linda now: her jailers were tormenting her, trying to get the secret of her father's account. However, he suggested a way out: you need to call the law office of Mr. Barrister Chris Philip, who handles all the affairs of the Omini family, and he will tell you what to do. God bless you for helping poor Linda...

It was as if they were waiting for the Voronezh guys in the Barrister's law office: yes, all the necessary documents are ready, tell us your full name, passport details, address and bank details. After that, the documents will be sent to you, you will send them with your signature to the Royal Bank of Scotland and you can wait for the receipt of $ 3,700,000 to your account.

Oh yes, they scratched their turnips in the distant office of the Barrister. A simple formality: you need to pay for the preparation of documents. Quite a bit - compared to the legacy of dad Omini ...

One of the guys from Voronezh was about to transfer a couple of thousand dollars to the Barrister's firm, but then a new letter came to his e-mail, from another girl from Senegal. Her name was Linda Fred, and in the photo she was an exact copy of the beautiful Linda Omini. And the plot of her story was also very similar: dad, Dr. Dion Fred, died at the hands of the rebels, leaving Linda $ 10 million, but they still need to be somehow pulled out of Senegal; They are ready to send documents, but first you have to pay for them - so, just a little compared to ten million ...

Meanwhile, Lind's fiancés got to know each other at one of the Voronezh forums, went to the lawyer virtually, and he explained to them that these were the so-called Nigerian letters. The first e-mails from Nigeria with an offer to “help transfer capital” began to circulate massively on the Web about ten years ago, and then the epidemic captured other African countries. The authors can be anyone: widows or children of political dictators, deposed kings and presidents, even government agencies and banks in African countries. All of them really needed to get their money out of the warring countries. With the help of an intermediary who receives interest from capital, for being at the right time in the right place and not even being greedy to grab all the capital for himself and become a millionaire. The reward will certainly find a hero! However, after transferring money “for documents”, communication usually stops.

According to some estimates, every 100th Internet user out of the millions who receive "Nigerian letters" falls victim to a scam. Including Voronezh.
