False marabouts and real accomplices

Coming from a large family, there was only my mother and me left. ..In 2008, my mother was diagnosed with a rare, incurable illness, requiring continued care, and placement in a nursing home after hospitalization.

After his placement, my husband and I decided to occupy the family home (of which I was the sole heir), to renovate it. Six months later my husband died suddenly of a heart attack! I was stunned, completely “lost”. I fled this house where I did not want and could not live alone. I stayed with my daughter for a while in a small apartment. … I stayed there for 2 years, the time to do the total renovation, with a loan, to then sell it. In January 2010, my mother died. I find myself alone with these 2 deaths close together, with all their consequences. My children and I were speechless. All these misfortunes at once!! I decide to go back to living (reluctantly) in the house so that it doesn’t stay closed and get damaged. My son comes with me so as not to leave me alone, but everything is going very badly and I am starting to think seriously about selling. At the same time, in my work, I experience harassment on a daily basis. and violence from a contractual colleague who is running for my position..

Completely devastated by all these problems, I am looking for dialogue, listening, and…I think of Patricia C…(she lives in Boulogne Billancourt). Why her? I don’t know either!  I call him and tell him everything that’s happening to me. Obviously she supports me, but nothing suggested the future. At one point, in a light tone, I ask him: Hey, don’t you know someone who can enlighten me, help me? I wasn’t expecting a response. And, she answers me YES! After a silence of astonishment, I asked him: Who is it? Answer: someone I know! I ask him again: what is his name, where is he? She answers me: Kouba… He’s a friend. He lives in France. He has already helped a few friends of mine. But it doesn’t answer my question, which is what it actually does. I was simply expecting a medium, a clairvoyant who could explain to me why so many problems were happening to me. But I’m not suspicious anymore. I tell myself that it’s Patricia, that coming from her, it couldn’t be bad. I didn’t know her very well!  And then it all started, I called Kouba saying that I was coming from Patricia. I basically told him my problems and he asked for my contact information and said he would call me back. And the rest took place as usual: Trust, requests for money to be sent by cash mandate for his fees and costs. I told him that I didn’t like at all these stories about cash orders, which I didn’t know how to do. It was Patricia who explained to me how to make a cash money order because I didn’t know it. I felt like I was “scheming”, like my hands were dirty… Then he told me that his grandfather had studied my case and that he would remove the curses that were on the family and in the house if I did not want to see the rest of the family die (my children and my grandson). He asked me €30,000 for this. I went totally crazy. Through so much brainwashing I ended up wondering if what he was saying wasn’t true. And I told myself that if another misfortune happened, I wouldn’t recover.  

 I went out of my way to get this money which of course I don’t get. I think I was losinghead!!! In the meantime, the sales agreement is signed: I ask the bank to obtain an advance of €15,000 on the sale. It was complicated but I succeeded. Kouba asks me to come to France to bring him the money myself. As it was really impossible for me to travel, he found a solution and asked me to give the money to one of his friends, a certain Baké, who lives in the south of the island, who will take care of it. I give the money to Baké, but I ask him how he is going to get money on a plane. he tells me that he is protected!! In the meantime, I had asked Patricia why it was necessary to pay in advance: she told me that the grandfather had already had unpleasant surprises with people who did not pay and that now he demanded payment in advance…..

I was completely bogged down in this story!!!!! I didn’t understand ANYTHING! I was like hypnotized, robotic, I no longer thought. I was at the mercy of these scammers. I was completely out of touch with reality!!! I thought I was done with them. Well NO!  After the sale the harassment started again.  This time, the amounts are multiplied. I still don’t understand the scam!! So there, the argument is: the grandfather said that for your protection, you need €80,000 because your parents did so many bad things that the spirits rebel. I was starting to rebel too, finally. But they had an answer to everything: “You are free to refuse, in this case we cancel everything, I will give you your money back, but I warn you that the spirits will wake up, I have already seen what will happen. I saw you in a wheelchair, you will become a beggar, scavenging. And then, an accident quickly happens you know….It would be a shame for your son, your grandson.” And I will pass over the details of these transactions which were very complicated. Once again, intervention from Patricia who recommended me to another bank that she knew well. And this in order to be able to withdraw the money in cash. Obviously, it failed, the director of the agency put a booklet on money laundering under my nose!!!! I passed for a trafficker!!! In the end, it was Patricia who came to my house in person to collect 2 checks that I had made out to her, for a value of €77,000 (Kouba had asked me to send him €3,000 of the €80,000 for his return to France, because he was in Africa (I also spent a lot of money on the phone)   After having taken all my savings from me, Mr. DABO B known as KOUBA faked an accident, he no longer wanted to answer my calls to give me the slightest explanation. I therefore decided to file a complaint against him and his accomplices.
