Received a letter from Zibell Brinko

It was too good to be true so I searched for Zibell Brinko after I received his proposal but nothing came out of the search, so I continued my communication with him giving him my bank account number.

Since I have not heard from him again up to this time, I became doubtful so I searched for his name again and found your website. Could he legally withdraw from my savings account from wherever he is? So far, he has not asked for advance fees but just personal information and the bank account number. Should I inform my bank about this and possibly change my bank account number?javascript:emoticon(':cry:')
Crying or Very sad

Hi Zhylannie, the name Zibell Brinko is a name scammers have used in numerous scams, for example, this one:

http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119928

And also on Google you can see that name mentioned many times in advance fee fraud scams:

It would be prudent of you to contact your bank and have your account number changed.

I assume his proposal was the same or similar as those on the links aboove? Please post the initial email he sent to you just for confirmation.

Dear Zhylannie,

I received your mail, and of a truth I welcome your willingness to work with me to archive this great aim, I want you to be rest assured because this transaction is legitimate and is 100% risk Free, you should kindly take off from your mind any kind of negative imagination to enable us build confident and work together as partner in this deal.

However, I know that you are not the real next of kin or related to this family but I want you to know that nobody has ever come for this claim for past years till now and the bank has tried so many ways to reach any relatives of the late person but they could not because all of his family lost their lives in the incident.

That is reason why I contacted you to use you as the next of kin to the fund, since I have got every information that will back you up and will prove you as the real next of kin before the bank.

As soon as I hear from you, I will send to you The text of application which you will fill and send to the bank. But before that I will like to be reassured of the manner of person whom I am dealing with because $20.6million U.S.D is not a little money,therefore I have to get certain necessary facts about you before we proceed. Such information I will like to know before we proceed are as follows:
(1) Your age.
(2)Your occupation
(3) Sex........
(4)Your marital stautus
(5)Your fullresidential address.
(6)Your direct phone and fax numbers.
(7)A copy of Your photo scanned and sent to me by mail.
As soon as I receive these datas, I will forward to you the application form which you will send to the bank.Meanwhile I will like you to know more about myself.

To take us further, you have to assure me that you will never betray me as this fund is confirmed into your account because I will feel at home living with you in your country where we will invest this money as one family’s as am trusting you in the name of Almighty that you will not let me down as I will present you to my bank as the next of kin to this fund,
As soon as I hear from you I will send an text of application in which you should fill and send to my bank as the first step on this transaction.
I look forward to hear from you soonest.

Dear Brother,

received your mail in good order and I appreciate your willingness to work me to exhibit and archive this great aim of our lives. I want to make it clear to you once again that this is a DEAL and very is legitimate and 100% risk free as I have said my pervious mail and as you may know, in every deal confident and trust comes first and we are oblige to keep it very secret to avoid any kind of error

Please you are also obliged to follow my instruction and my direction as we proceed on this mutual transaction so that we do not make mistakes. I want you to get more understanding on how this deal works, what matters most is the approval that you are the real next kin to the fund in question because with out the approval there will be no transfer so what matters most is the approval and it takes some vital information about the late person before the bank can approve this fund to you or who ever comes for the claim of this fund.
I have worked for years and have spent almost all my savings to secure the information that will clarify you as I present you to the bank as the next of kin to the late person please do not jeopardize with my effort so far as I do so ,To take us further on this issue you are going to fill the application in the attached file and send to the bank and as well get back to me.
Kind Regards,
Mr Zibell.

Hi again, yes, that is a 100% next of kin scam email, it's the same scam email as on our scambaiting forum on the link I posted above:

http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119928

Where they want you to stand as the next of kin to have the millions transferred to you, but along the way, there will be plenty of fees for you, the victim, to pay, if he contacts you again, block his email address and forget all about him, and don't forget to go to your bank and get your account number changed!

After I sent that claim letter giving him my personal information and bank account number this was his latest reply:


Dear Brother

Thanks for your mail,I am so worried because since this days you did not tell me what is going on about how level you have gone with the bank so i can know next step to take here so please my good brother i want you to please update me with what the bank told you.

Waiting to hear from you
Thanks
Zibell

Zhylanni, you don't need to post any more of the emails, see my last post above.

[Michelle]

zhylannie has mentioned the e-mail addresses of the bank.

EMAIL:[email protected],
[email protected]

What I would be interested in seeing is the e-mail address that this "Zibell Brinko" is using at the moment

zhylannie:

Re your bank account. For peace of mind I'd go talk to your bank and advise the branch manager of what is going on. It is doubtful that they can get any money from your account, but better safe than sorry.

The bank may recommend that you close that account and open a new one. I know that can be a pain, but it is less of a pain than getting your statement and seeing that the lad has drained your account!

Again the account draining is very unlikely to happen, but a good chat with your bank will give you some more peace of mind.

zhylannie has mentioned the e-mail addresses of the bank.

EMAIL:[email protected]

To be honest, I didn't even see that bank url last night, it was very late here and I was researching another post by, Ybo, at the same time.

The fake bank domain:

www.boa-online.net.ms

That is a free .ms redirection url from:

www.cydots.com

If you view the fake bank page and right click on the page, choose "frame", it then opens a frame on this url, which is where the fake bank will be displayed if they ever make one, but more likely they are just using the .ms domain for the email account:

http://www.planetcallofduty.com/stargate

Which is a subdomain on this gamers website:

http://www.planetcallofduty.com

Which is nothing to do with banking at all, it's simply a gaming page with a free boa-online.net.ms redirection url to make it look like a real bank website address. I have sent an email to cydots.com and planetcallofduty.com concerning a scamemr abusing their services.

Thank you guys. This is the email address of Mr. Brinko:

Zibell Brinko <zibell080>


If I decide to play his game can we catch him? If he is not watching this forum I think he is unaware that I already know he is a scambug and will continue to con me until I am convinced to pay him some money. What do you think?

No worry about the bank account coz I already transferred all the contents to another bank account. javascript:emoticon('8)')
Cool

Hi Zhylannie, it is not wise for you to play games with this scammer, because he knows your personal details, name address etc, and trust me when I say this, there are scammers based in your part of the world, and this scammer could well have a contact in your area, so it's just not worth taking the risk, scammers should only ever be baited when you are completely anonymous, which means using an email address made up with fake details, giving a fake name and address etc, if you really want to learn how to bait scamemrs safely, visit our sister site, here:

http://forum.419eater.com/forum/index.php

Please read the sticky topics in the individual forums concerning safe baiting, they are very important!

When you are all set up with your fake details and after having read about baiting scammers on 419eater, you can then send an email to this scammer, and have some fun with him, in the knowledge that he will not know it is you using a fake name, so there will be nothing he can do to you.

Oooppsss...I don't know what happened. I pasted the email add of zibell and when I posted it the @hotmail.fr was gone, so I'm retyping it:

Zibell Brinko <zibell080>

It's gone again. Can anyone tell me why? Let me type this manually.
