Common Africa Fraud Scams We Assist With
Fraud matters involving Africa often follow recognisable patterns. The names, countries and documents may change, but the structure is often similar.
Victims may be told:
That gold is held in a vault or storage facility.
That inheritance documents must be legalised.
That customs fees must be paid.
That a government certificate is required.
That a bank account is frozen.
That a lawyer must be paid.
That a diplomatic document is missing.
That a gold export licence is needed.
That a deceased relative left gold or money.
That a romantic partner needs help releasing assets.
That a local agent needs payment to complete a transaction.
That a mining licence or export document must be processed.
That payment must be sent urgently to a third-party account.
These requests may be accompanied by photos of gold bars, passports, identity cards, fake bank letters, fake storage certificates, fake customs documents, forged legalisation papers, false power of attorney documents, company accounts, bank details, WhatsApp messages and social media profiles.
Clinton Consultancy helps clients assess whether the documents and claims are genuine, identify red flags, organise the payment trail and determine whether police complaints, civil recovery or local counsel action may be possible.

Romance scams involving Africa are often emotionally manipulative and may continue for months or years. Victims may meet someone on a dating app, social media platform or messaging service.
