Senegalese compatriots complain about one of their own who is actively sought after in Europe (Italy, Holland, Belgium). Mamadou Lamine Diop, one of the victims, a compatriot who has lived in Belgium for twenty years, contacted Le Témoin to explain their mishap with the swindler who has several names on his counter.
« We are the victims of one of our compatriots living among us here in Europe. He came to my office. He cheated on me to send money to Senegal. He let me know that he is staying in a hotel. As he is Senegalese, I trusted him. He asked me to lend him money. So weird he handed me numbers I sent money to », Told Mr. Diop in the columns of the newspaper Le Témoin.
Before continuing: ” After he left, I heard people complain about him as I waited for him to refund my money. In one of our WhatsApp groups, I heard a lot of our compatriots talking about him. He had scammed several Senegalese and other African foreigners ».
According to our compatriot Mamadou Lamine Diop, the swindler was posing as the brother of Sheikh Alioune Souané (Editor’s note: a wealthy Mandingo marabout). In Holland, the swindler called himself Aïdara, in Namur, a Belgian city, he nicknamed himself Dramé and near Liège he gave himself the name of Souané. ” I am not the only victim. He even defrauded a Senegalese who bought tiles and collected money to pay his mom a ticket to Mecca. He managed to bully the guy. His latest victim is a Burkinabè. At my level, I filed a complaint for breach of trust », Confides Mr. Diop.
Currently, the scammer is actively wanted in Europe. Fortunately, the victims took a picture of him, reassures Le Témoin.
