End of the first swindle: SCAM (Fake Lottery Fraud)
As you can see, it's tempting. Once I read this tender message, I started to dream; me too. But when that person asked me to send him some money, in order to open an account, so that he may deposit my gain, someone or something made me think.
Firstly; why should I open an account abroad to receive my gain, while I have a valid account here in Canada. Secondly; why this individual does not take the required amount, to open that account and pay me the remaining money: simple subtraction. Thirdly; usually, to win a lottery you must play. But here, I said to myself: "The game is not worth the candle." Then my luck directed me towards some websites that catalog and denounce these robberies. It was a swindle. Overcome fraud. Recognize it. Here is a list of SCAMs www.ScamBuster.org www.419scam.org Google + name of the person or company name + scam = read I was not surprised to see the name of that person. I told to myself: How many people has he SCAMed so far? How many people has he stolen without turning a hair? I do not know. For my part, I knew that it was a swindle; I had escaped a danger; I had a narrow escape. Thank God! My dream in color ended. I understood that the amount of money the impostor was asking, to open the account and deposit my money, was the amount that would have gone directly into his pockets; probably a tax deductible amount. The working method of that bird of misfortune, allows him to steal identities: collection of information (photocopy of ID with picture, social insurance number, credit card number, etc.) This identity theft allows him to act somewhere under a false name, and rob people. This swindle is simply called: to kill two birds with one stone. In English that kind of method it's called: phishing, phishing scam. But in English a “Pish” is the sound produced by bird hunters or ornithologists, when they want to attract birds. In French it is called harponnage and hameçonnage. Even if that "businessman" failed to rob me, I saw in him someone who had the desire to get rich. A vicious and mediocre desire, certainly, but a desire anyway. And the eagerness with which I responded to his offer, convinced me that I had a burning desire to improve my financial situation; honestly. But for this time, I was not in the right place at the right time. Another get-rich-quick scheme. A swindle. Let’s pass it on. Tools to fight swindle Cyber-thieves, cyber-crimes? Cyber-police. Here are some web sites that catalog and denounce robberies. We have already suggested these useful websites; see also the section : How to verify the credibility of a business plan offered on the Internet?

Swindle: end of the third SCAM
PS: "Burkina-Faso" means: "Le pays de l'homme intègre"
But no panic. The funny character above doesn't represent the whole Burkina-Faso. Right?
The moral of the story?
Before playing games of chance on the Internet (by email or by mail, or even any games apparently genuine) check it up. It might be a swindle. Check with the help of useful sites we just provide you with, check with the help of government offices; but also by any other means that you will certainly find; because there are many “smart foxes”, public dangers, indelicate individuals who do not honor human race. There are many other different fraudulent offers, SCAM, some are more attractive than others. All of them are orchestrated by... faithless and lawless people; I do not know why I hesitated to say so.
