L’audace d’un cyber-escroc : à 26 ans, il joue les milliardaires avec de faux virements et s’offre un train de vie royal
The audacity of Mr. El B. Ciss, a 26-year-old unemployed man living in Sicap-Foire, is nothing short of disconcerting. L'Observateur reveals how this young man allegedly managed to pass himself off as a wealthy businessman and afford a luxurious lifestyle through a suspected electronic fraud scheme involving "false identities, hacked bank cards, and fictitious wire transfers" amounting to as much as 75 million CFA francs.
The newspaper, detailing his modus operandi, reports that the suspect had been placing numerous orders for goods on online shopping platforms for over a month, using bank cards without the knowledge of their true owners. This deception allegedly allowed him to live a lavish lifestyle, acquiring, among other things, a Chevrolet Camaro, documents relating to a Porsche Macan valued at €28.2 million, as well as parts for Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles.
In addition to this collection, there were two latest generation iPhones, an Apple Watch, luxury perfumes, five access cards to suites in a high-end hotel, and a forged international driving permit.
The cyber-scammer allegedly went so far as to produce fake wire transfer orders for 75 million and 850,000 FCFA to bolster his supposed status as a major economic player. However, checks carried out with Ecobank and Banque Atlantique revealed that he held no accounts at these institutions and that the financial transactions presented were fictitious.
His scheme was ultimately foiled thanks to the vigilance of a shopkeeper in Dakar-Plateau. Alerted by Ecobank after the cardholder disputed the transactions, the shopkeeper pretended to place a new order to trap the network. An individual then appeared to collect the merchandise, calling himself "Moustapha Fall" and posing as a simple courier. He was apprehended by officers under Commissioner Ousmane Diop, who had set up a sting operation. The investigation then led the police to the main suspect's home in the Sicap-Foire neighborhood.
When questioned by investigators, Mr. El B. Ciss reportedly partially admitted to the online fraud. Bank checks having confirmed the police's suspicions, the public prosecutor ordered him brought before the court. The examination of the seized computers continues in order to identify any accomplices and those who provided him with the stolen credit card numbers. The newspaper of the Future Media Group reports further revelations.

Il n'y a aucun mal à fournir à ton enfant un certain niveau de vie si tu as en les moyens mais il faut bien insister sur l'éducation (valeur morale, dignité, valeur du travail...)
On ne nous dit pas si le virement de 75millions a réussi. Le mode opératoire décrit ne peut pas rapporter grand chose.
