"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!

Hello,

The only time I have ever sent e-mails about a particular program is when
I'm convinced it will last long enough for anyone to get into and make some
profit. From memory those programs were all the biggies Aka ~ 12DailyPro
AlienTrust, CompactSurfing, 12by12Daily and anyone who joined those early
will testify that those programs made them plenty of money.

Just about every one who knows anything about this business are all saying
that PlanetNoSurf is the best opportunity here and now to get into. 73% of
folks have upgraded which is nearly double the average for these programs.

- the admin is one of the very few people I've come to respect and trust
over the years in the autosurf arena.

I'd like to introduce you to John Stankiewich, a Canadian who runs
9PlanetReviews, a much-visited autosurf/HYIP due diligence Blog site.

John conduct and publish a few due diligence info a day in a succinct yet
equally effective fashion, providing valuable guidance to many autosurfers/
HYIP players. His acumen and integrity is impressive: John has never
refrained from openly exposing a scam based on his research data. We've
compared notes before... let's just say I trust his investigations.

John has been contemplating the idea of opening an autosurf since 2006, but
has very wisely decided to postpone the launch until the ripple from the
annual December-January autosurf clearout subsides.

His 9PlanetNoSurf was launched on 14 February 2007, just when the autosurf
industry is set to rise in fortune again in its annual cycle.

Because of John's excellent reputation, many bloggers have jumped on board
in actively promoting 9PlanetNoSurf, which promises exciting times ahead in
terms of membership and revenue growth.

As implied in the name, 9PlanetNoSurf does not require any surfing before
you can earn money. There are a few payout rates... I myself have joined the
one offering 12% in 12 days.

It is without reservation that I fully recommend 9PlanetNoSurf because of
the presence of an honest admin at the helm, and strong momentum due to
widespread promotion.

The Plans has been designed for Longevity. Referral bonus is spread into 3
Level
1st Level 9%,
2nd Level 2%
3rd Level 1%
