Contact started in Twitter

Oh you Must be an fan... bla bla
Afterwards this person said Oh the media following me please let us switch to a private Contact
Did you know Viber!

This person have worried about the Phone Number and then he give me his number at the end.. why? Because I should be so special... lol

Then the conversation goes trough Viber. Started with stories about me and asking the whole time if I have problems or money problems...

Then these meetings with Melissa McCarthy

Afterwards he claims he found his love because Melissa saw my picture and was so amused and said nice things about me.

Next step was the accident with a car and this Christine Child from a Colleague of him ... he wants prayers and would be a little bit angry in his tone...

Afterwards he send over a faked picture with thanks

Next step was I want to see you in real.. I talk to my agent
The agent said no lol what a Wonder but he said he would build a new health organization near to me and that his agent trust me I should transfer money from his bank and account to my account.


Honey this is what I want us to do babe, you know my agent and the media are keeping a close eye on me, there is no way I can make transfer for the house and show my agent payment receipt which he requests for babe


Honey I am going to send you my online banking details which include my logins and password my love, so you can make the transfer into your account babe, send me screen shot so I can forward it to my agent, as soon as he has the screen shot my vacation will be granted and within 3days I will be with you babe


With these transfer screenshots his vacation would be guaranteed from the agent.

He offered swiftfinancebk.com and an account number plus keyword.

Then I should start the transfer. He can’t because all would be controlled from media or his agent...

The transfer would be initiated a few days later and then there pops up an TAX Code needed..

Fake person said I should write an mail to Account@swiftfinancebk.com

The bogus bank account summary shows:

Left Bank Pictures £1,200,000.00 16-10-2011 6416025


When the victim tried to transfer money, as the scammer requested, that's what she saw on the fake bank website:

Sending eCheque

TRANSACTIONS AMOUNT DATE

Opening Balance £1,200,000.00 16-10-2011

Latest Deposit £2,890,000.00 10-10-2009

Latest Withdrawal £27,118,000.00 20-Nov-2020

Sorry, We have currently DISABLED the sending of e-Cheque. This is as a result of high rate of banking and online fraud.

To send an e-cheque, please send the following details of the receiver to account@Swiftfinancebk.com. We will process all e-cheques the minute we confirm the receiver's details, and a confirmation of sufficient balance in your account. Send to us the following

Beneficiary's Full Name
Beneficiary's Home Address
Beneficiary's City
Beneficiary's State
Date of sending the eCheque
Beneficiary's Country
Beneficiary's Phone Number


Note: This is a common tactic in the scammers playbook, using a fake website pretending to be a bank and sharing their login details with the victim, as a proof they have money, but, from various reasons, they cannot access their bank account.
