Fighting scammers in Cameroon
Imagine to get gold on a silver plate. You need only to proof that you are a legitime gold buyer. You will just have to pass an interview with officials of Cameroon. Sure very easy.
You will get full assistance of the seller of the gold. He is asking for just 3000 USD that is needed for the approval of being that legitime buyer. 3000 USD are nothing when you know the costs asked for in other countries like Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso to mention a few.
There are some problems though. Will the person represent the Cameroonian government when he is contacting you for an interview. In other words who are getting the 3000 USD. By the way the fees varies between 3000 USD and 7000 USD depending on who is trying to scam you.
Basically the scammers are right you need a “Buyer´s permit” to buy gold in Cameroon. It is granted and issued by a Cameroonian Chamber of Commerce.
Our method to avoid being scammed is to require a trial delivery of just 1 (one) kilo of gold to our partners in Cameroon. The partner has naturally the legally necessary “Buyer’s permit”.
In many cases the seller refuse to accept to sell one kilo of gold against a cash payment. Thus they are proving that they are scammers. It is a very easy way to fight the scammers. We do not have to pay any money. The scammer will not be able to claim that the permit is not accepted and that we have been scammed. Which also is the truth as you do not have to pay to the government in the first instance. So forget about the CEMAC and fight the scammers instead.
