Read this very pathetic story of Abdulmalik Peter Usman, one of their recent victims.
"I received a phishing mail impersonating Sanel Konjevic. He said he saw my football training video on facebook and he can get me a trials at Sheriff Tiraspol fc in Moldova, that I should scan the data page of my international passport and send to Sherifffootballacademy@hotmail.com, which I did
Four days after he mail me an invitation for open trials in Sheriff Tiraspol that will expire in three weeks time.
According to Invitation letter, the club will pay for flight, accommoddation, feeding... Then the said Sanel Konjevic ask to contact Alieu Jammeh who will help me obtain the eVisa fast. He gave the address as state (No 2 above)...ask me to send the invitation letter to him for confirmation....which I did.
Three days later, the said Alieu Jammeh sent me a mail...that he has confirm the invitation letter and it is good. I should pay a total of €350 (three hundred and fifty euros)...itemized as follows1. 130euros......visa fee2. 80 euros.........DHL courier3. 140euros..........Service fee.He gave option to pay through Western Union Money Transfer with payment detail (No 4 above)
...or alternatively pay to Clement Marvellous with a Diamond bank Account detail (No 3 above)
Both the said Sanel Konjevic and Alieu Jammeh opened a WhatsApp communications with me...Jammeh sent me several samples of eVisas hr got for players from Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast...and after I paid the money through Clement Marvelous Diamond bank
...they block me on WhatsApp and stop all communications with me.

Meanwhile, before I paid, I sent the invitation letter to Sherriff Tiraspol fc email I got from their website. They didn't reply me quickly and because the urgency (the three week expiration time) I had to comply and pay so I may not loose the opportunity...that was how I was duped.
Just three weeks later Sheriff Tiraspol fc admin officer replied my email..stating that the club didn't send such invitation letter and has never had any dealings with the Agent Sanel Konjevic."Well, this post serves as an eye opener and a warning to innocent footballers seeking to start a career or find a professional club abroad. Something is being done about it by secruity operative and I believe the days of these fraudsters are numbered...but don't fall for the trap and be their next victim BEWARE!
