We encourage members to report scammers bank details and financial transactions to [email protected] with very little chance of feedback.
The lack of immediate feedback is generally because it takes time for the relevant countries authorities to conduct investigations into the alleged fraudulent activity.
However, here is a bit of positive information from a thread on aa419:
This is a report from a website owner and contributor to aa419.
Quote: |
On June 18th, I was contacted by a novice eBay member that had wired $6500 USD to a bank in Croatia approximately 12 days earlier for an automobile - a 1957 Lincoln Premiere. Obviously, delivery never occurred.
I alerted Alan immediately with the banking information.
For whatever reasons the funds were not immediately withdrawn from the bank account. Today, I was contacted by the victim that his bank had contacted him and the funds had been returned to him.
Quote: |
Just thought that I would let you know that I received news from my bank today that they were able to contact the bank in Croatia and my funds have been returned!!! They apparently had some notice that there was a scam going on, and had held the money in limbo, so my bank manager was able to get it back before the account was cleared. I am very happy and am never going to make that mistake again...Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work. Terry |
I honestly believe these funds were frozen because of Alan's efforts.
Bravo! It's nice to find out about a success story! |
Further comments:
Quote: |
Rest assured that Alan is doing tremendous work in the background. |
And more:
Quote: |
It is important for the general masses to understand that there is information flow that will be only one-way. Of course law enforcement will not post on a public board about the progress of an investigation or a scammer's frozen bank account. That sort of information is strictly confidential. But cases like this one actually prove that things are happening. In the background only, but they are happening. Expecting law enforcement to publish their progress is expecting too much, though. |
And this:
Quote: |
I can tell you this. When I was first given Alan's email address, I was told to NEVER send attachments and to NEVER expect a response from Alan. That was fine with me. It was always my understanding that I was providing the information so that the bank accounts could be frozen so additional transfers could not be received; I never expected that the funds would have been recovered and returned to the victim. Finding this information out from the victim was icing on the cake.
The half dozen times that I have sent Alan bank account information, I have included a couple of sentences of additional information. I even once apologized for not sending an email message with the full headers exposed, but the message was sent to me without that info.
Anyway, I have received a couple of responses from Alan. First, he doesn't need the headers exposed for the type of work he does. Second, after sending a few email messages with bank accounts, I got a brief thank you for forwarding them - nothing more, nothing less.
Immediately after I posted here about the funds being recovered, I forwarded Alan the same email message I received and gave him the link to this thread. |
I post this information in the hope that it will contribute towards the understanding of just what Alan is doing in the background and how he is making an impact, silently, on the scammers we all despise. |

Alan and AA419 have been doing a great job, but this is well beyond what I had thought was possible.
Excellent work!! |

I knew it, those quiet guys that just keep ploughing through the data; they hurt the most for our friends.
Alan a great job and we all appreciate your efforts to clean up the mess.
When I send one in, I don�t need an answer I know all is done to.. Within the legal limits, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, it�s all I can do to help and I know it helps in the end. |

Spectacular that he got his money back!
If you all want to help go over to aa419.org and run muguito. It can run in the background while you are baiting and leech the bandwith of the fake banks that we and AA419 cannot get the host to pull down. In just the past couple of days I have leeched several gig of data. Either the lad hits his monthly limit or gets a hughe bandwidth bill. Good either way.
Alan does great work!!! |

Alan doesn't say much, but he gets the job done |
Less talk and more walk in any fight is a good deal. Either way I have my account info into Alan and whether he can shut it down or not I do not care. It's the effort that counts as I know I'll eventually get one of those little S***'s accounts shut down some day.
... and above all, cheers Alan!!!!! I think everyone here owes him a drink or 12 as much as we use him (I know I do). |

That is a great job , but it is inevitably going to be rare for us to hear the outcome. Law enforcement don't want to discuss ongoing investigations, so won't telll us and bank officials have confidentiality restrictions so can't tell us. I don't need to know, anyway. I know I have sent the info to the right person to get the job done, and I move on to the next thing. |

Alan rules! Not only has he killed fake and real accounts for me, he told me I could take the credit if I wanted.
I think we should build a shrine to him, complete with a bunch of flags and the infinity sign next to them. |

Excellent work, Alan. The best part is that the victim got his money back. It is nice to hear that your hard behind the scenes work is paying off.

Seriously, though. This is one of those rare times that we will get to hear a result from the "behind the scenes" work done by Alan. Most of what is done can't be posted, but its pretty obvious that the information we send is being acted on. |
