The institutions reported here are not real.

They all pretend to be state agencies searching for a large array of products meant to improve the life of people in certain geographic areas, mostly Africa.

They all are using fake websites or domain names showing no content used only for the email addresses. The communication is done mostly online or on mobile phones.

The main targets are small businesses.

This type of fraud started in South Africa with a mining scam. Ugandan and Cameroonian scammers developed the fraud, with a bit of Nigerian influence.

To see how the fraud worked few years ago, please check: https://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/vie ... 40&t=14268.

The fraud evolved in South Africa for years - for details please check: https://blog.aa419.org/2019/11/04/the-s ... nder-scam/.

Two years ago, the fraudsters expanded the scam model to the rest of the world.

For how the fraud is operated today, an example can be seen in viewtopic.php?f=6&t=86238.

The websites reported in this topic are operated by the same group of fraudsters, no matter where they pretend to be and whom they impersonate.

unnecessary human suffering in Africa.
Join us in creating a world in which every man, woman, and child has the
opportunity to enjoy good health and live in peace. This peace with justice requires
resolving conflict according to rules agreed to by all, beginning with the shared
commitment to human rights and democratic values. Today, virtually all
governments claim to share this belief. The DICE, in partnership with others, seeks
practical ways to narrow the gap between the rhetoric and realities of government
policies in Nigeria countries striving to overcome legacies of oppression and deadly
conflict by building more just societies of their own.

Regional Empowerment & Development Agency / Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) uses a fraudulent website active from the domain name afatrf.com.

From the fake website:

The Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) is an autonomous intergovernmental organization and specialised agency of the West African Countries with its Headquarters located at Lomé Togo. It covers 14 of the 15 countries of the regional economic community (Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Cameroon, Senegal, Togo).
The Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) is definitively established in Lomé, Togo in March 1996. This was the result of a long preparation since the creation of the Agency, in January 1996 by the Regional Council of Ministers. Following the establishment of the Agency, the Region committed itself to fund AFATRF with $8,684 million for the first five years as operation budget for Economic Empowerment and Development and $US 10 million for the Infrastructure Fund annually.


Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) uses public contracts to procure goods and services, studies, technical assistance and training as well as consultancy, conference and publicity services. It also procures books and IT equipment etc.
The providers are selected through calls for tenders which are issued through the Procurement Unit of the Agency on behalf of Departments, Directorates, Agencies and units across the Region.


The process:

bid.JPG


Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) requires Supplier/ Vendor to register at Basic level only. Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) may require vendors to provide documentation and additional information in lieu of qualifying the vendor for registration at Level 1 or 2. The level of registration and accompanying requirements are determined by the monetary value of potential contracts. The system is intuitive and will automatically only allow vendors to register for Level 1 and 2 with Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) which make use of these additional qualification levels.

Basic registration requirements
1. General information (name of company, licence number, address, telephone, details of contact persons, etc.).
2. Payment of US$ 300 Vendor/ Supplier Registration Fee.
3. Classification of your goods and services.

Level 1 requirements
4. Criteria 1-3 above.
5. Certificate of incorporation or equivalent document verifying legal status/capacity.
6. Details and email addresses of at least three independent, non-affiliated references whom you have done business with.
7. Names of owner(s) and principals (including parent company, subsidiaries/affiliates, CEO/Managing Director, and those with controlling interests, if applicable). The names of intermediaries, agents and/or consultants, (if any) used in relation to Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) contracts or bids/proposals.

Level 2 requirements
8. Criteria 1-7 above.
9. Reference letters from three independent, non-affiliated clients/companies, you have done business with. Reference letters should be in English and from three independent, non-affiliated clients/companies whom you have sold products and/or services to during the last 12 months preferably with a description of project/work undertaken; and date started/completed and value of project. Reference letters should be prepared/signed on the referee’s letterhead paper and reference should refer to the entity that is seeking registration.
10. Financial documents (audited/certified financial statements or equivalent) for the last three years.

Company Registration Statuses

Submitted
Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) will only review and evaluate your Basic level registration submission at this stage. Once this process is started, you will not be able to update your company’s details and the status of your submission will be changed to ‘In progress’.

Please note that submissions for Level 1 and 2 registrations will most likely only be evaluated as part of a procurement process. The status of these registrations will thus remain 'Submitted'.

In Progress
Your company is currently being reviewed and evaluated by the Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF). You will not be able to make any changes to your profile during this stage. On average, the review and evaluation process may take up to 10 working days from submission to finalization.

Resubmitted
The status indicates that your registration has been resubmitted for review and evaluation on the date indicated in the field. Your registration will be reviewed and re-evaluated by the Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF)). On average, the review and evaluation process may take up to 10 working days from submission to finalization.

Registered
Congratulations. Your company has been registered on Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) based on the information provided on submission.

Please note that being registered on Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) procurement database means that the details of your company is part of the database of potential vendors. Please note that once the Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) confirm your registration, your company’s profile will be visible to all staff when searching for vendors.

Registration does not imply pre-qualification. Prequalification is a systematic process to determine the capacity of a manufacturer to produce a product of consistent quality in accordance with international standards and organizations’ specifications. The purpose of prequalification is to protect the buyer and the end user by ensuring good quality products are procured and distributed. This pertains specifically - but not exclusively - to products and/services for essential medicines, medical devices, condoms, contraceptives, and related commodities.

Furthermore Anglo-Franco Agency & Tchamba Relief Foundation (AFATRF) reserve the right to further assess and evaluate your company. This may be during the tendering phase or before contract award. All registered vendors still need to submit quotations/proposals in response to tender notices and comply with quality assurance requirements, where applicable. We recommend that you check the tender notices through registered sourcing agents in Togo daily and respond to notices which correspond to your products and/or services.

Another fake entity claims to be Regional Empowerment and Development Agency (REDA) and uses a fraudulent website active from the domain name redatogo.org.

From the fake website:

The Regional Empowerment and Development Agency (REDA) is definitively established in Lomé, Togo in March 1996. This was the result of a long preparation since the creation of the Agency, in January 1996 by the Regional Council of Ministers. Following the establishment of the Agency, the Region committed itself to fund REDA with $8,684 million for the first five years as operation budget for Economic Empowerment and Development and $US 10 million for the Infrastructure Fund annually.

The scammers were not even creative for the content shown on their fake website. They were simply going on Wikipedia, and copy-paste the content from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_ ... ommissions.

Players in the building and construction industry must register with a new professional body before they can be allowed to practice in West Africa, the experts, who also include project managers, must register with the WACOBCA before they undertake any construction work in the region.


WACOBCA facilitates access to collective bargaining agreement with the Trade Union (TUC), Renewal of Certificates, capacity building, finance, trade promotion, linkages, information dissemination and more.
