He was initially contacted online by a girl stuck in Ghana who was looking
for someone to help her get out of the country with her boss who runs a
import/export company called Pedtles. They got stuck there because they
don’t know how bad Africans can be to foreigners. The African dock import
company demanded an extra $3,000 as a tariff which she didn’t have. I
tried to wire to her through the African Bank in Lacos Ghana but the bank
said they never got it. I filed the correct forms with Chase bank and they
used the correct Swift code but the bank wanted a different code which
Chase said wasn’t necessary so the bank caused her, Sheril Brown and her
assistant Angela, stay there.
When this banker was found by Angela he said he’d help but all he did was
put funds into my Chase account and Chase saw it as fraud after I cashed
out the $1000 to which I got Amazon cards to send money to Sherill and
Angela. Chase saw it as scam and revoked the deposit unknown to me. The he
sends $906 into the afternoon I went to cash it out but Chase restricted my
account thus I couldn’t get the money. The next day March 28 2019 I
attempted to get the account restrictions lifted but Chase closed the
account and refused to do business with me. Now my account balance became
-1800. The banker threatened me with criminal charges if sterling his money
but by then I realized he was a scam. That’s when I made the police and
deleted Hangouts.
