Complaint Review: David Mark - Internet

David Mark represents himself as the seller mandate for MorganWesGold, owned by Jean Yves Gautier. He will claim Mr. Gautier can't talk, because he is in Europe dealing with a Belgian refinery.  Eventually, he connects you to Mr. Gautier, who is a black man of a different name living in African not the white Parisian in the passport he sends. He will offer you no explanation for this lie.

David Mark uses this alias because it is a well-known Nigerian politician's name, and he believes if he is Googled that name will come up first, not any complaints against him. This is a common 419 ploy.  He is very convincing to buyers, and I thank God none of them met him in Togo for 3000 kg of gold he supposedly had for sale, because he surely would have ambushed them. Please note, if you are buying gold dust, such quantities do not exist in stored dust, especially in Togo. 

He also works with Udechar Farms, a company which gets a cut of his money for serving as the "shipper".  Another of his cohorts is a man named Johnson Williams, with an email address of [email protected].

David's most successful crime is to get people to Western Union him money, usually to cover the taxes (in many African countries gold is DUTY FREE) and freight. One buyer sent him $5000 to cover the expenses of shipping 10 kg of gold dust to Europe.  No gold ever arrived, and the airway bill turned out to be fake, according to the airline. David insisted it was real, and even had his cohorts create a website (for a company called Global Express) where one could enter the tracking number.  However, even the flight they listed the gold on was fake.

On another occassion, he told a buyer if they sent a copy of a check, he would be able to get financing and ship the gold. Well, it ends out he tried over and over to cash the check for $10 million (unsuccessfully -- the buyers were smarter than that) and never sent the gold.  He also has requested various instruments. David Mark works with a broad network of cohorts who are allegedly financiers in Europe, or shippers in Africa (who won't give their actual Business licenses to you).  Just remember, huge shipments of gold are impossible, and he has no ability to get financing from anyone.  DO NOT SEND HIM ANY MONEY!!! He will even tell you it is a different David Mark, etc.  Again, he is very convincing. Below are the accounts that he requested any instruments (MT760s, etc.) be issued to by potential buyers.

Mr. Mark's phone numbers are as follows. +44 703 591 5614 (roaming cell phone)+2287577469.  I believe he is still using them, so perhaps he can be tracked in this manner. He likely has other cell phones, all prepaid, as well.

BEWARE!!! HE IS A VERY DANGEROUS MAN!!
