"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!

payments and also the special adviser to the United-Nation fighting
against the un-necessary delays of beneficiaries yet unclaimed payment
including yours which was recently discovered this week that has not yet

conducted.

I am delighted whole heartedly to inform you that the contract/Inheritance
panel of the UN, which just concluded its seating in Benin federal capital
territory just released your (E-mail Id & Name) among the currently
approved beneficiaries who are to benefit 100% from this very diplomatic

claims as it has eaten deep into the economy of the Great country Benin
Republic.

will be aware that your yet unclaimed payment data's is still reflecting
in our central computer as unpaid and un-claimed owed debt in my

that your payment has been delayed un-necessary due to one reason or
another while auditing was going on this week. Your own file was
personally forwarded to my executive office by the chief auditors of the
(UN) as an unclaimed fund.

At this moment, I wish to use this medium of communication to inform you
that for the time being the (UN) has completely stopped further payment
through bank to bank transfer, Atm Card, Bank Draft or Check Payment due
to numerous petitions received from the united states home-land security,
the FBI, IMF and other financial and security agencies to Benin Government
against our banks on wrong payment and diversion of innocent beneficiaries
owed funds to a different account.

In this regards, I am going to use my good office now to send you your
approved part-payment in the tune of $10,000,000.00 (Ten Million United
States Dollars) only by cash to you via a special (UN) universal
diplomatic delivery means to you. In process of doing that, I will
personally secure every needed documents as the newly appointed lawyer
representing the (UN) office now to cover the money including the
affidavit to claim of this particular yet unclaimed payment from our
federal high court here in Benin Republic which will bestow the right and
privilege to you as the rightful beneficiary who is to receive this
payment after meeting up with the delivery requirement as the Benin law
stipulate. All these will be done perfectly only on the condition that you
will give me 10% of the funds we are about disbursing to you which is
(US$1M) One million United States dollars out of the $10,000,000.00 (Ten
Million United States Dollars) you are to receive.

Note: The money will be coming on 2 security proof trunk boxes. The boxes
are already sealed with synthetic nylon seal and padded with machine by
the managent of this organization and I also want you to know that the
management are not aware of my plans with you in this transaction, so you
have to keep it a top secret till me and you are able to conclude this
very transaction. This fund was brought to us from the World Bank special
delegates because the funds itself was meant for our local afem market
here in the Benin Republic.

But you don't have to worry for anything that need to be taking care of
here in Benin Republic, as this transaction is 100% risk free and will
remain legit as long as you work with me transparently. The boxes are

license or ID Number including your personal contact phone numbers which
must be a working numbers, the diplomatic attached will travel with it.

He will call you immediately he arrives in your country's airport to
update you and I hope you understand each and every point that I've made
clear to you in this email message am sending you.

WARNNING/ADVISE: Please note carefully that any money requested from you
by anybody,office,banks or group of people from London/Nigeria or any part
of the world to receive your payment expect the United-Nation Appointed

un-necessary delayed yet unclaimed owed debts payments, whom the FBI, IMF
and other financial agencies have irrevocably approved that should serve
you better and ensure you receive your payment this time around, so kindly
note that any money sent by you to any office in London/Nigeria is at your
OWN RISK, so stay away from any other office, person or group of people
and face only the United-Nation Appointed Approved Payment Disbursing High
Commission Office only till your payment gets to you safely.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: for security reasons and to enable the both of us
conclude this transaction successfully, note that the diplomat coming with
the consignment boxes will not know the original contents inside the boxes
he is to delivery to you. So what l and our accredited management will
declare to him that is inside the consignment boxes is a sensitive
photographic film material and classified volume confidential company's
contract documents.

Also note categorically that, before I proceed with the next arrangement,
you are advice to respond back to me immediately on email address, so we
can talk and agree first before I seal this transaction with you and if
you have any question to ask for more clarification before and remember to
send the required information's directly to my Email address and I will
let you know how far I have gone with the arrangement. I will secure the
diplomatic immunity clearance certificate that will be tagged on the boxes
to make it stand as a diplomatic consignment. This clearance will make it
pass every custom checking point all over the world without any hitch. All
this I will do with my own money as your partner.

Please, I need your urgent reply because the boxes are schedule already to
leave immediately as soon as I hear from you this week.
