ADMIN:

This is a classic case of a scammer indoctrinating a victim and following it up with a recovery scam.

The victim was dealing with a person using the name of Daniel Bouchard. The victim sent us short information about him and as far as we can tell from looking at her words we think she lost her life savings of at least €5500 to this scammer.

She sent us no details about how much money she sent to the scammer with the name Daniel Bouchard, only some details about the scammer.

He wrote me that his son was sick in Côte d’Ivoir and asked for money to pay the doctors. I had pity and sent money. Then he had the problem”

She wanted us  to not  publish the details, do not even mention his name because “he is a very close person to me” and “in trouble” and firmly believing he is real even after losing money to him.  We will however intensify his “trouble” and ensure people can find out.

After our attempts to open her eyes to this fact, that she was dealing with a scammer she got abusive towards us.

The victim tried to get money back searching for a someone in authority from Cote d’Ivoire on the Internet. She found a Captain Alla Kouakou Leon who is a fake also. He convinced her that he just the right person, a policeman, and he phished the details about her scammer for a further recovery scam. The real Alla Kouakou Leon is not a policeman. He is the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense in Cote d’Ivoire and nothing to do with the police or 419 fraud.

VICTIM:

(messages to us)

Hello, I have doubts about one man who messages me on Facebook. His name is Daniel Bouchard and he wrote that he lives in Bordeaux, France. He went to Cote d’Ivoir with his son and bought some African objects of art, then he was delayed at the custom’s and required to pay a fine for those African masks and he asks me to help him with money. I have his photos and documents. I Googled the photos but Google didn’t find any equivalents. I have a photo of his passport and the document from the customs. I wonder if they’re fakes or not. This story looks like a scam scenario, but I am inclined to think that he isn’t a scammer but a man who got into trouble. Thank you.

 

DELETED PROFILE https://www.facebook.com/daniel.bouchard.7161

VICTIM:

Yes. It is d.bouchard21@gmail.com And I have his phone numbers in France and Cote d’Ivoir. But why do you think he is a scammer?

Phone in Abidjan +22504629771

But he lives in France. He is on business in Cote d’Ivoire as he is an art dealer

His phone in France is +33647061827

Now he writes that he needs money to get home to France and he is starving in Africa. I write that he must go to French consulate and they will help, but he says they refuse to help because they are corrupted. This starving surprised me. And I sent him some $300 very long ago perhaps in November. And in the last message after he wrote that he was almost eating gravel, I wrote that if you are starving like this with your child, I’ll see you $100. He replied that he didn’t need this little money. He needed €1800 to buy tickets and also wrote that they needed to be injected for €150 each.

FAKE PLANE TICKET

We then enter into the recovery scam.

VICTIM:

I found an address of a police captain who lives in Cote d’Ivoir and helps those who suffer from scammers. His name is Alla Kouakou. I sent him the facts and documents about the case. He wrote that I can fully confide in him and repeated the words about confidence many times. Then I got the following message:

This Alla Kouakou Leon looks an important figure. I browsed him and found many sites about him.
For example: Dossier Nominations 2011 The Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Mr. Guillaume Kigbafori

The real  Alla Kouakou Leon is the Ivory Coast Defense Ministry spokesman and nothing to do with police, or finding scammers and getting money back. He is an Army Captain and soldier

We found a profile on Facebook and we doubt if it is the real person except we have no evidence

Thank you for this information, but I did not understand the payment. Should I first pay570 and €300? I can not afford this fast because I am a retiree and I have lost all my life savings. Moreover, I have to repay a few credits that I took for Daniel Bouchard. But I can pay a little later if that suits you.

ADMIN:

We try to help people for nothing and give up a lot of time to do so. We do not deserve insults for our efforts to protect victims against scams like this:

The Victim to us:

“To hell with you, moron. FUCK OFF!! ” aside from also telling us we are “Retards”.

In fact we found that her scammer Alla Kouakou Leon is a very prolific scammer from Cote d’ Ivoire

COTE DIVOIRE PICS USED BEFORE IN SCAMS.  WE GIVE BOTH VERSIONS FOR EASY COMPARING.

The same pictures we have been given that have been sent to the victim have been altered by the scammer in other scams. Check out the marks on borders of the fake documents and also signatures and serial numbers.

ADMIN to the VICTIM:

If you mean your “CLOSE person” with the name “Daniel Bouchard” just keep in mind we have a lot of Daniel Bouchards pretending to be in the Military: the name of a REAL Gen. Bouchard is CHARLES and there are no soldiers/generals /admirals on social sites, who would hunt women.

Some advices to the ladies searching for love on the Internet:

Be sensible about somebody saying “I love you”, someone on Internet who you’ve never met and consider yourself to be engaged to. You can not be married to a mysterious someone behind a stolen photo and on the other side of the screen of your PC. Think>>> WHO do you love and pretend to be the wife or partner of? A bloody PLASTIC BOX with buttons – i.e. computer? Don’t be ridiculous!

 If ANYONE asks for money on line they are a scammer!

DO NOT SEND MONEY to anybody on the Internet for any reason!

WESTERN UNION / MONEY GRAM / RIA transfers are always a SCAM! 

Using these services to transfer money to people you have not actually met is exactly like leaving a pile of money on your doorstep overnight.

(!) Never send your personal details to anybody on the Internet!

 

ADMIN:

Unfortunately, we have to come back to this Blog and add some information not about the scammer mentioned above, but just about the VICTIM and her aggressive activities towards us.

We have had a few precedents in our practices when victims refused to believe that their “sweetie pie” is not a high ranking officer in the US/UK/Canadian etc.. army, not a gas/oil engineer on the rig/ not a doctor in Syria, Afghanistan, Libya etc../not a master of a ship (captain) somewhere in the sea with cargo hold overfilled with bars of gold but just an ordinary young African criminal from some Internet café somewhere in Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal etc. behind the stolen photos, hunting and cheating gullible women are ready to believe in sweet words of love and purely lies and bullshit spreading by scammers.

   The victim, who sent us the information for this Blog about the scammer, started to bombard us with insulting messages for this publication and we received from her more masterly works of fiction and THREATS:

 

From VICTIM to us:

Hi (the name removed) forced (she volunteered to send us the information) to ask you about the information about me and my friend Daniel Bouchard. There is an international law on Internet privacy.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_privacy

I wrote to you, that would not want that information about me and it was on your site, but you and your team have ignored it, so that there was a conflict between us. My friend is not scammer. I sent him the money for the ticket, he flew to France and gave me all the money that was owed.  *(!)

I do not have my name on your site, but it presented my letters and a photo of my friend, and I do not want them to be common knowledge and ask them to remove the law on Internet privacy. In (location removed), the law works very well. Information immediately removed. I hope you are law-abiding and do my request.

ADMIN:

*(!) This is rubbish and it didn’t happen!  

The Victim demanded us to remove this Blog and she is acting as a scammer supporter (!) in this case..
