"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!

depending on when you personally come for the claim.
 
They also told us that the only problem they are facing right now is that some
unscrupulous element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent

necessary documentation?s evidencing your claim purported to have been signed
personally by you prior to the release of your contract fund valued at about

but the JP Morgan Chase Bank did the wise thing by insisting on hearing from
you personally before the go ahead on wiring your fund to the Bank information?s
which was forwarded to them by the above named Lady so that was the main reason
why they contacted us so as to assist them in making the investigations.
