Egunotan, espreski gure kolektibora zuzendutako iruzur-saiakera bat detektatu dugu. Oso ondo egina dago, beste scam saiakeren aldean. Laburbilduz:

• Erresuma Batutik email bat datortzu, ingeles perfektu dotorean, udan Euskal Herrira etorri behar den kirol talde batendako fisioterapia tratamendua eskatzen. 3 astez, astean 3 egun, 6 kirolari gazte bidali nahi dizkizuete, partiduen artean haien osasun egoera ondo mantentzeko. Horrengatik aurrekontu bat eskatzen dizuete.
• Aurrekontua esaten diezunean, onartzen dizuete, plus bat gehituz, ezusteko gastu edo lesioei aurre egiteko. Agendan lekua hartzeko eskatzen dizuete.
• Ordainketa egiteko, datuak eskatzen dizkizuete: izen osoa, helbidea, telefonoa, fisioterapiari dagokion diru kopuru zehatza.
• Informatzen zaituzte, baita ere, ostatua, bidaiak eta otorduak lotu behar dituztela. Baina, Brexit dela eta, transferentziak oso garesti dituztenez, zeuri egingo dizute ordainketa guztia, beste gastu guztiak barne.
• Horrela, behin dirua kontuan daukazunean, ostatua, bidaiak eta otorduak eramango dituen agentzia zurekin harremanetan jarriko dela diotsute, kirolarien hitzorduak jartzeko eta haiei diruaren bere partea transferitu diezaiezun.
• Nik hementxe planto egin dut, baina gainontzekoa imajina daiteke: aduana arazoak… zure ordainketa atzeratzen da… baina bidai agentziari dirua aurreratu behar zaio, bidai-plana osoan arriskuan jarri nahi ez bada…

Guri iruzurra Wallace Ornstein jaunak sinatuta etorri zaigu, scam munduan ezaguna den izena (ref, ref, ref) baina beste izenak ere erabiltzen dituzte (Gerald Lorenzo…), eta kontakizunaren aldaerak (kirol motak, taldeen izenak, hiriak, datak aldatuta). Edonola ere, beste iruzurren aldean hau askoz ere zainduago dago: ez da deskaratua, galderei zentzunez eta adeitasunez erantzuten dizuete, pertsonak daude atzean, ez makinak (edo makinak badira, adimen artifizial oso aurreratu bat!). Hain zuzen ere, guk geuk iruzurrak atzematen nolabaiteko eskarmentua dugun arren, bi edo hiru mezu behar izan ditugu usain txarra hartzen hasteko!

Erreferentzia bezala balio dadin, hemen jarri dugu izan dugun mezu trukea:

Lehenengo, Ornstein jaunaren aurkezpena eta zerbitzu eskaera. Denak itxura ona du: ez dago eskaintza eskandalosorik, ezta webgune arrarotarako loturarik.

To whom it Concerns,
 
I wish to make a booking request for a group based on your good reviews on the web. A number of six (6) young female athletes, aspiring to be recruited by Gloucester City Queens basketball from Gloucester, are on sponsorship from a reputable company in England and will be visiting your area for a training tour that also doubles as a trial for new entrants. They are scheduled to arrive in Spain on the 10th August 2024 to stay for 3 weeks.

In the 3 weeks which is stated clearly below, they will be coming for therapies as directed by their fitness coach to help them in relaxation of the muscles, to aid recovering from injuries or intensive training, release tensions, increase flexibility, improve performance and prevent further damages after each play off to keep them fit for the game next day. Kindly arrange an individual or group massage therapy or physiotherapy sessions as the case may be, to aid achieve these listed above and let me know your total cost per hour or 30 mins for each person per day. The expectation is for each athlete to have 30 mins therapy sessions per day which in total, will be 3 hours therapy sessions for the 6 athletes per day.

The 6 athletes aged between 19 – 22 yrs old, have no injury of any sort, no handicap or autistic person among them as they are healthy. They are to show up at your center 3 days in each week, making it a total of 9 days visits for their 3 weeks stay.

– Days for therapy sessions: 12th, 14th, 16th, 19th, 21st 23rd, 26th, 28th, 30th of August 2024.
– Period of therapy: 3 weeks ( Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays each week )
– Time: Morning at 10am or afternoon at 2pm (3 hours in the morning or 3 hours in the afternoon per day)

Kindly get back to me with the therapy sessions you can offer which fits the basketball athletes and also an estimated total cost for the whole sessions during the 9 days. A discount will be appreciated and have a nice day.

Regards,

Mr. Wallace Ornstein

Gure lehen erantzuna: zentro txikia gara, ez dugu horrelako zerbitzua emateko ahalmenik, gure ohiko pazienteei kalte egin barik.

Dear Sir,

The small size of our center makes us impossible to give such a service, without distorting heavily our normal functioning.

Anyway, I suggest you to contact these other colleagues, focused on sports physiotheraphy, who can be interested on the matter, and will certainly provide you a very good quality service. (LOTURA)

Best regards,

Ornsteinen bigarren mezua: baina guk zurekin nahi dugu, onena zarelako. Eta lasai, malguak gara eta moldatuko gara.

Hello,

Thanks for your mail and sorry for the late response due to health issues but i am better now. I understand the you cannot perform the massage service on all the 6 persons at one time due to the small size of your center but we have options. It will be also okay to treat the first 2 guests in the morning, 2 others in the afternoon and the rest 2 in evening times at 1 hour for each pair visit okay. If this suits you well, then proceed with the booking and get back to me with an offer with a total cost for the 9 days. Have a nice day.

Regards,

Gure bigarren erantzuna: benga, egingo dugu orduan. Baina non, Ondarrun ala Lekitton? Eta ordainketa kontuak nola?

Hello,

The total cost for the service you ask for, would be of 2916,00 €.

That would include: 6 therapy sessions of 30′ a day, on 12th, 14th, 16th, 19th, 21st 23rd, 26th, 28th, 30th of August 2024.

If you are interested, and before booking the athletes, we should know:
Where would you like them to receive the treatment (in Lekeitio or Ondarroa, as we have one physiotherapy cabinet in each town).
The payment method.

Best regards,

Haren hirugarren mezua, diru promesa itsugarriak.

Dear,
Thanks for your email and I can confirm that your quotation has been reviewed by the management team already. After consideration and consultation with our sponsor, we are delighted to confirm our intention to utilize your services in Ondarroa for agreed period and for 6 guests only. The offer, with a total fee of 2,916 euros for the whole visits, aligns perfectly with our need, and we kindly request that you proceed to secure the booking for the specified dates. The management will make the full payment, as per the sponsor’s instructions, to ensure that all arrangements are settled before our arrival. However, before we process this payment, I have a humble request to make on behalf of the sponsor.
A certified bank draft payment will be sent to you and it will cover the cost of the total fee for your services. An extra amount will be added to the bank draft payment and it will take care of other expenses that will include a request for extra session if needed or using special equipment at the facilities available etc. Also, take note that the certified bank draft from our sponsor will also cover the cost of other logistics that includes accommodation and food fees for the guests; understandably, this is not your responsibility, so we will engage the services of a logistics agent that would take care of that for us. The reason is due to the Brexit laws on foreign transaction, a single bank draft payment will be drafted by the sponsor’s bank to cover all the expenses they might incur before the team’s arrival. I will provide you with the contact details of the Logistics agent as soon as we conclude with them and everything.
The logistics agent will issue you a single invoice for the total remaining amount they require from you regarding the welfare of the guests, ensuring transparency and accountability, if necessary. This will be done after the bank draft payment is credited to your bank account. Any bank charges or taxes associated with this process should be deducted from the bank draft payment.
In agreement with these terms, kindly provide the following information for the mailing of the bank draft payment:
(1) Your full name or company name (as it should appear on the bank draft).
(2) Valid address, including city and postal code, for the delivery of the bank draft payment.
(3) Office, mobile, or WhatsApp number for easy communication.
(4) The estimated total booking cost, including VAT/tax charges.
Once I have received this information, the bank draft payment will be processed and dispatched to your address via courier post by the sponsor’s bank. Your prompt response is highly appreciated, and we eagerly anticipate a memorable stay at your establishment.

Gure hirugarren erantzuna, amua ezpainean, berme eske.

Dear Mr. Ornstein,
Thank you very much for accepting our offer, it will be a pleasure to work for you.
In any case, before booking appointments and providing you with the information you request, we would like to do some checks. In the case of such an amount, and especially considering that we are going to have to reimburse part of it to a third party, you will understand that we must make sure that it is not a scam. Therefore, we would like to know:
Which club or clubs your athletes belong to. Which basketball clubs here are you going to train or play with. Who is the sponsor that is going to take care of the expenses we are talking about.
In this way we will be able to contact them, and confirm the data, after which we will be happy to formalize the deal. Likewise, we would appreciate it if you could clarify your own role in this matter, and provide us with some reference to your activity.
See you soon,

Eta hementxe amaitu da Ornstein jaunaren gentlemantasun guztia. Erantzunik ez da egon, noski.

Abisatuak zaudete!
