"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

That is all fine and good I'm sure I can leave EVERYTHING in your capable hands and I really would appreciate it if you deal with the Security Company on my behalf, i find those type of people so difficult to deal with, they are so impersonal. If your firm does not operate client accounting as most do then I am only able to commit to prepayments not exceeding 60% of the total price. If you do not quote a total price then it will be 60% of any individual part you quote to me. Remember advance payment of fees is strictly illegal in most countries!

I do not want to keep making payments of small bills every couple of days that is why I want you to handle this deal for me. I hope you understand

Sir

I thought I had made it clear I cannot come to the UK or anywhere outside my parish. All arrangments are to be made by you and serviced by you. I need an estimate of all costs envisaged in getting the money to me

Is that clearly understood?

And please make sure you reply to the correct email address this time!
