First, A guy named Ernest Nguesso wrote me an email for tender bidment of plain white t-shirt for ARACAR aracarelief.org/ ( An American organization) in which his brother in law is in the Awarding Committee. And then after bidment process, they said we won the contract. They send 4 options to send contracts. We choose sign through email so they said we have to pay 1600 usd for duty stamp fee and handling fee and we can do bank transfer to the Supreme Court of Cameroon account or western union to a person named Ndongo ( they give me the reason why I should do through western union because of forex fluctuation). it seems very logic because it's our choice and then they even send me a link to sign in a bank transfer status to make sure that the amount of money is in the bank.
After checking all information, we are sure that this is scam because the beneficiary name is a limited company name and this case also happened 4 years ago which is also reported.

Purpose: CONTRACT UPDATE NOTICE
This is to inform your firm that your agent has notified us that he will be filing the name of another firm to take over the contract from your firm in view of your non capability to complete the stamp duty for the contract endorsement.
This is in view of the fact that they said you were telling them that it’s a fraud, because you were asked to pay a stamp duty and to this end you are to understand that the ARACAR does not tolerate any such insinuation on our project as you can visit our site and read more about us and also read the tender process detailed as;
http: // cameroontradegateway.com/en/index.php/tender-process.html
also you should read the COBAC international regulation for bilateral organization remittance as;
http: // cameroontradegateway.com/en/index.php/cobac-intl-remittance-regulation.html READ Bilateral Organization Remittance.
Thus from the above two links it details all to you as you should understand that the supreme court has informed you that once the fee is settled the will complete the stamp duty and endorsement which is the only all expenses involved as no other will occur
But since you have chosen to label that the ARACAR is luring you to a fraud, then we shall be convening for a general meeting on the 13th for the revocation of this contract and reallocation to another firm.
However if you want to salvage the contract then complete the process before the 13th otherwise the contract will be reallocated to another firm on the 14th.
