"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!

Subject: Very Urgent! (Zelo nujno!)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I apologize for discussing this with you through email, since we are not close
to each other and have not met in person. Please kindly understand it is based
on its matter of urgency, as I urge you to treat with much privacy. I got your
email contact on a database found on the internet on my quest for an upright
individual whom I can have this proposal with to make the transaction a
success. And I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health.

l am Dr. Francis Douglas, Chief Auditor, with the Barclay's Bank Plc, London
branch, United Kingdom. One of our customers, Mr. Kattan Azmal from Jordan was
involved in a plane crash in the year 2000 on board with Tbm 700 aircraft on
31st July same year, 2000 with his wife and the whole crew on board.

Before his death, he has a timed numbered account with us valued with the
present account balance of 28,500,000.00 GBP (Twenty Eight Million, Five
Hundred Thousand Great Britain Pounds Only). According to the UK Banking law,
if an account remains dormant without been operated for 5 years +, the
ownership of the account balance automatically reverts to the Queen's
Treasury. If also there is no information about the account owner’s presence
or any of his/her NEXT OF KIN, with no one applying for the claim of the
proceeds of the Bank Account, a grace period of thirty (30) days will also be
given before the money will revert to the ownership of Queens Treasury.

My proposal is that in my capacity as the Chief Auditor with this bank, I will
encourage you as a foreigner, to stand or step in as the Next of Kin or
business partner to the deceased account owner. I promise to stand in this
with my position to make this transaction a success, as I have the secret
banking details to perfect it.

The file of the account owner with the bank, containing all documents used in
opening of the account or filled while opening the account is right now within
my control. I will present and back you up with full legal documents as the
Next of Kin and close confident of the deceased so that the fund in the
account of the deceased will be processed, approved and released to you as the
inheritor of his estate for us to share.

It is my interest for us to execute this opportunity so that the funds will
not be confiscated and reverted into the Queens treasury or converted to
ownership of the bank, thereby enriching the bank or already rich people here
who have more than enough the more. So it is better we corporate as one and
have the funds claimed over in your name for sharing.

Please note that, it is 100% assurance that the process will be executed or
carried under a LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT that will protect both of us from any
breach of any law with no atom of risk for any of us. It might interest you to
know that all efforts have been made by the Bank to search for the Relation of
the deceased, but all was fruitless. My position as the Chief Auditor in this
bank guarantees the successful execution of this Deal (transaction).

This money will be shared on a 50% (Fifty percentage) between you and I, which
must be written in the agreement of personal trusteeship, once the fund is
transferred to your desired account in your country or anywhere else of your
choice and you invite me to come for the sharing.

In event you desire not to be interested, please do not fail to destroy this
mail because of the confidentiality attached to this proposal. I promise that
this transaction will be concluded within/less than 10 days of our takeoff.

If you are interested and wish to partner with me, don't hesitate to contact
me at once ONLY through my personal email IDs at:
dr.francisdouglas@yahoo.co.uk, dr.francisdouglas@gmail.com
