Hello,

Have recieved another ASECNA request for payment, this time for 45K Euro. The guy even has the audacity to put a name, fake for sure, and a UK mobile telephone no...

Subject:ASECNA / AFRICA OVERFLIGHT NAV DEBT


Dear Sir,
Your company is debted to Asecna in the area of overflight nav debt and the amount is 48,000 EU.

Failure to hear from you today,we will inform our intl debt collectors to visit your company and we will no longer grant your company permission again into Afric.Reply us now and we will provide you with our banking details for the urgent payment


Mohammed Sani / Asecna.

A very agressive Nigerian sounding type answered the telephone when we called anonymously

Telephone number and email address removed!

Somebody phone them up (at a sensible time) and claim to be an International Debt collection agency, and offer to do the collection on their behalf; explain that your costs are only 5% of the monies to be collected.

After a few days, contact them again, tell them you have collected the money; ask for their bank details so you can deposit the money.

..new approach

possible new angle

received a very convincing fax in french advising of a company in Senegal
-BDO MBA performing accounting services on behalf of asecna and requesting
previous payments made etc..

sent it back to [email address] asking them to verify fax in english
and wait and see

any body else receive such a document from Noelie F Zongo
the agent comptable with an enveloppe and a response coupon?
