A citizen received several messages through his email from a girl claiming that she is from Ivory Coast.

 She asked him to help her get her father’s inheritance with the value of $21,000,000, deposited at one of the security companies in Ivory Coast.

She also claimed that she cannot take this sum in her country for security reasons.

 She offered him to transfer such sum to him in Egypt and grant him 15% of the total in return of his cooperation.

As the citizen pretended that he had agreed, he received several messages claiming that the said security company had finished the procedures necessary to transfer the money to Egypt and deliver it to Ivory Coast embassy in Cairo.

Coordination has been made between the Department and the citizen to keep pace with the sender until he received a phone call from two persons claiming that they are agents from the Ivory Coast embassy in Cairo and the security company.

They asked him to meet them in Cairo to deliver him the package after paying $ 2500 a administrative expenses. The two were arrested, and they came out to be a Nigerian and Guinean citizens.

 After checking the telephone numbers registered on their mobile phones, the Department was able to detect another victim residing in Aswan who was about to fall in their trap.

The two men confessed that they committed this fraud offence in cooperation with some of their assistants in Ivory Coast.
