African Development Bank Group for getting in fraudulent trap

Mr.Patrick Joseph,
Customer's Account Officer, African Development Bank, ADB Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso, Africa.

Sir,
The stranger Mr.Patrick Joseph, whome I do not know issued attached wrong e-mail dated 13-09-18 from his e-mail addresses ([protected]@gmail.com) and ([protected]@yahoo.com) in wilful conspiracy attempt against bank management to get bank's deceased cutomer's debt shared in ratio of 50% for him, 40% for me, 10% for the necessary expenses that may occur, if I assist him as forger next kin in the matter of fraud proposal e-mailed.

It's wilful conspiracy attempt against Govt. treasury lawful money going to be forefeited, as killer Paul-Louis Halley from France has deceased who was an Investor, Crude Oil Merchant and Federal Government Contractor, he was a victim with Socata TBM 700 killing 6 people crashed on 6 December 2003 near Paris leaving a closing balance of $28.5 Million United States Dollars in one of his private US dollar account.

On stranger part, it's wilful conspiracy attempt of breach of faith and ethical standards of the bank clients, in which e-mail sender proposed me to act as forger kin of the deceased.

The stranger is expected by me as FBI investigated dated 10-10-11 hired by fraudsters to rob my rightful funds off by getting committed crime through me with such a trap and conspiracy attempt.

The stranger has no right to harrass me to injure my career under IT model laws or e-commerce laws that are get adapted by UNO to every member nation. The stranger cannot induce and trap me for advance fee scams with major hallmark things for such financial crime conspiracy attempt e-mailed.

Both, proof of this e-mail of one page, and 2 pages' FBI investigation dated 10-10-11 are also attached herewith regarding fraudsters and corrupts who withheld my rightful funds.

This wrong e-mail sender is expected to be hired for getting the crime committed to put me in jail so that above refered FBI investigated fraudsters dated 10-10-11 can rob my funds off by keeping the FBI at distance through new trap.

Therefore,
by appropriate action I'm to be compensated US $ 1000/- for e-mailing financial crime conspiracy attempt to take me as forger next kin of the bank's deceased client, on reasons that I'm fighting the poverty need speedy monetary settlement of the this complaint.
With Regards

African Development Bank Group possible scamming

I keep receiving Emails from some fellow who works in Cargo Unit at Chicago, Illinois O'HARE International Airport, who just SWEARS that a Bello Usman WITH YOUR BANK: [protected]@zing.vn at THIS Email address, HAS FUNDS in a Consignment Package, IN MY NAME THAT HAVE BEEN "CHANGED" for some REASON or another. WHEN I TRIED to reach this Usman Gentleman, I was COLDLY "received" and RUDELY treated. Therefore, I "FIGURED" that it was a Scam as I HAVE YET to EVER RECEIVE ANYTHING TRUTHFUL from either Benin OR Nigeria. I hate to say that but it's JUST THE TRUTH!

I AM a VICTIM of horrible, HORRIBLE "Scamming". I have been "taken" for nearly ALL that I have. The reason is because I HONESTLY DO HAVE an Inheritance FROM and IN Nigeria. My Loved One died just MONTHS before ALL of the Online Scamming started taking place in that Country. SOMEHOW, my Loved Ones Records seemingly "spilled over" into Benin where I STILL was being "SCAMMED" by those presenting themselves to be with LEGIT Banks, Bankers and Government Officials. I'm LITERALLY AT THE POINT OF DESTITUTION! I've had to SELL EVERYTHING and to top it ALL OFF, my husband of 35 years was found dead in Texas. He died Intestate and WITHOUT Insurance just this past April.

I've had to BEG and BORROW from every living SOUL that I know, Sell my Car and STILL had to sell what little I had LEFT from the Scammers, just to BURY my husband and pay for ALL of the Expenses of his Death. Instead of burying his as my Religion calls for in a THREE DAY period of time, it took me NEARLY A MONTH!

Please, I'm 100% disabled and survive ONLY ON $600 USD a MONTH from Social Security.

IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO WHAT I AM BEING TOLD? Does this Bello Usman WORK with your Bank? DOES HE HAVE FUNDS THAT **WERE IN MY NAME** that HE IS "CHANGING MY NAME OF OWNERSHIP" CONCERNING ANY KIND OF CONSIGNMENT THAT IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHICAGO O'HARE AIRPORT IN THE CARGO UNIT THERE, PLEASE?

I CAN ONLY THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR YOUR MOST KIND HELP AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! I AM MORE THAN GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR YOUR CHECKING INTO THIS FOR ME.

This Website was SENT TO ME by a worker AT the Cargo Unit AT the Airport who has been greatly concerned that this Usman fellow HAS ALREADY "Changed the Name of Ownership" OF these Funds(Consignment) and is giving them to SOMEONE ELSE! Since I had NEVER EVER "RECEIVED" ANY NOTICES that these Funds WERE IN MY COUNTRY as a Consignment and I ONLY RECEIVED "NOTICE" that Mr. Usman was CHANGING THE OWNERSHIP FROM MY NAME TO SOMEONE ELSE'S (AND OF COURSE, OF COURSE, I AM """SUPPOSED TO PAY HIM""" TO CHANGE THE OWNERSHIP BACK TO MY NAME)...PLEASE...I do not KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHOM TO "TRUST"!

"WHY" would ANYONE "Change OWNERSHIP" of ANY CONSIGNMENT WHEN I WAS NEVER...EVER...EVEN...NOTIFIED that THE CONSIGNMENT WAS HERE IN MY COUNTRY AND WAITING FOR ME?

WHY would I BE "EXPECTED" TO PAY A LARGE "FEE" TO HAVE MR. USMAN "CHANGE THE NAME BACK" TO MY NAME ON THIS "CONSIGNMENT" THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY AT O'HARE AIRPORT WHEN I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF IT"S EXISTANCE OR THAT ANY DELIVERY WAS TO TAKE PLACE UNTIL """"AFTER THE FACT""""?!?!?!?!?!?

That's just W R ON G. I'm sorry but it really is.

Thank you for your Time, your Efforts and Your Consideration in this matter. Honestly, I cannot THANK YOU enough. IF these Funds. this Consignment REALLY DOES EXIST, WHOMEVER HELPS ME WILL ABSOLUTELY BE GENEROUSLY REWARDED FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE!

Many Blessings to You and Your Loved Ones,
