Here is another phishing attempt, much like that of the Alia Ibrahim Bare scam that was sent to us by Norma. Norma took the time to respond and sent us their response which shown below – the first is the initial email and the second is what they sent when Norma responded:

Dearest,
Husn Bare

Dearest,

I hope all is going well with you today.I know this mail will come to you as a surprise since we haven’t discuss it earlier, kindly please bear with me. I decided to contact you because of my present situation which is miserable but I trust in God and hope you will be of help. My name is Husn Ibrahima Bare Mainassara. I am 25 years old and I held from Niger Republic. I am the only daughter of Late General Ibrahim Bare Maojassara. My father was the former President of the Republic of Niger. He was ambushed and killed by dissident soldiers at the military airport with his driver and a former Prefect. You can read more about the incident.

I got your contact through online data record and I decide to seek for your help to transfer my inherited money.I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment which I am receiving from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father’s treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father. Meanwhile I wanted to travel to Europe, but she hide away my international passport and other valuable documents. Luckily she did not discover where I kept my father’s File which contained important documents. I am presently staying in the Mission camp in Burkina Faso.

I am seeking for long term relationship and investment assistance. My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$5.6 Million in one of the leading bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I had contacted the Bank to clear the deposit but the Branch Manager told me that being a refugee, my status according to the local law does not authorize me to carry out the operation. However, he advised me to provide a trustee who will stand on my behalf. I had wanted to inform my stepmother about this deposit but I am afraid that she will not offer me anything after the release of the money. Therefore, I decide to seek for your help in transferring the money to your account while I will relocate to your country and settle down with you. I have my fathers death certificate and the account number which I will give you as soon as you indicated your interest to help me.It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your assitance and the balance shall be my investment in any profitable venture which you will recommend to me as have no any idea about foreign investment. Please all communications should be through this email address only for confidential purposes.

I will send you my photos in my next email.Thanking you a lot in anticipation of your quick response.Yours Sincerely, Miss Husn Ibrahima Bare Mainassara

Below is the response the scammers send when you respond to the email above.

My Dear,

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I need your help to stand as my trustee in transferring the money to your bank account for investment project. As I told you in my earlier mail, I am staying in the mission at Burkina Faso and I haven’t a personal telephone number to be reached. But if you wish to contact me on phone, I can be reached through the office telephone number of the Mission coordinator. His name is Father Silas and the telephone number is +226 78 66 52 73. If you call, please tell him that you want to speak with Husn Ibrahima Bare I’m staying in Block 22 female hostel.

The reason why I ask you to contact the bank as my trustee is because I have contacted them on my arrival in order to clear the money but the Branch manager who I met in person told me that my status as a refugee does not authorized me to transfer the money. He advised me to seek for someone who will represent me and transfer the money into his or her bank account. I wanted to inform my stepmother about this deposit but am afriad that she will not release the money to me after presenting her to clear the money because after the death of my parent she and my uncle arrange seceretly and sold my father’s estate in Monaco. They shared the money among themselves and when I confronted them my uncle told me that the tradition and custom of our land does not entitled me to share assets of my father as a single young girl. Ever then they have been maltreating me and even made arrangement to assassinate me because of the demand for my share of the money from the sales of the hotel. Right now I want you to help me because you are God sent and you will never regret of helping me.

Please send me your full contact information which include:

Your full name:
Contact address:
Telephone numbers to be reached:
Your age:
Your Occupation:
Marital Status:
Your Nationality

Information above is very important for me to know you well so as to proceed futher with trust. As soon as I receive them I will give you the contact of the bank were my father deposited the money. And you will contact them as my trustee and ask them to transfer the money into your bank account for investment project. After you receive the money in your bank account you will send me some amount to process my traveling documents which I will use to travel and settle in your country so that I can further my academic studies.

Thanks a lot in anticipation of your quick reply.

Yours truly,
Husn Ibrahima Bare
