"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!

Am working directly with a Gold and Diamond Mining Company in West
Africa and right now the company has mandated me to get them a good

and its 22 Karat +.

Kindly get back to me immediately and let me know if you are
interested to proceed to buy or have any Buyer in the USA or outside
the USA who can fly or drive to New York or New Jersey to meet the
selling Company Representative and the Financier who is financing this
delivery on CIF to either of these location in the USA for a table
top meeting as soon as the gold arrive.



As soon as you get back to me that you have interested Buyers then I
will send you the FCO from this Seller to you or your interested Buyer
for his or her perusal .
