So, how do they operate ? They first put months in building a trust relationship with you as a potential buyer and they do everything to make you feel comfortable. They share "past-performance"docs with you.. You probably wonder what I mean with "they".. Well, this scammer does not operate alone. He got an entire team working and I will mention them and their companies used for their scam operations as well. They will mail you, call you and even send you WhatsApp messages a couple of times a day and respond to your questions or comments immediately. Their English is good and the Website is looking quite professional as well so there is no reason to think it's a fake.
They seem to get the Gold and Diamonds from the DRC to Tanzania and legalize it so it is easy to export. They contact you and tell you they are able to deliver any quantity of Gold and the only costs for the potential buyer are the costs for the export documents and this is where things go wrong. After you pay between 4% and % for the documents, you will receive most of the documents like:
- Export Permits
- Commercial Invoices
- Ownership Certificates
- Certificate of Origin
- Passport Copies
- Airline Tickets
And more..
To give you the idea that they will keep contact with you for a couple of days to give you the idea that they are working on the logistics and that they are for real. The scam is that they never really plan to deliver the gold.. Instead , they quickly change the consignee on the documents and sell it to other people for a much higher price.
After receiving the funds and selling the gold to other people, they simply don't border to answer your phonecalls, whatsapp messages or e-mails anymore. They act like nothing ever happened. They are ordinary scammers and the world needs to be protected against these crooks.
Willy Sebi Matata is born and raised in Kinshasa, DRC but currently operating full-time from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. He is using several companies here to "sell" his products and receive funds. Again, please do not pay him or his associates anything in advance because if you do, I assure you that it will be gone !
