"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!

FILE REF: MS/
14967/CH/08

CLAIM REF: BS/00221/X/2010



My name is Barr. Jose Manuel Moya , a personal Attorney to Mr.
KENNETH.J.CARLSON who lost every interest for his wealth due to his age and
the lost of his wife in June 2012, he is currently 95 year old leaving in
Florida, USA. Before his retirement he was the Chief Executive Officer and
President of a multi-national medical imaging company, Lantheus Medical
Imaging, Inc. Till this very moment he owned a lot of businesses in Spain
which he warned that for no reason should any of his family or extended
family members should be part of due to their negligence to him and some
certain reason. It may surprise you receiving this letter from me, since
there was no previous discussions between us.



My purpose of contacting you is for you to help me secure the cash he left
behind in the bank to avoid being confiscated or declared unserviceable
by Castello Credit Union Bank. www.ccu-b.com

The cash deposit valued €9.500. 000, 00 (Nine Million, Five Hundred
Thousand Euros Only) was deposited by my client since April 10th 2010
according to the bank. I have been working on the project now for the
claim.



Though I know that a transaction of this level will make any one
uncomfortable and worried, but there is nothing really to worry about
because all the relevant documents and information as regards to the cash
deposit is in my possession as we speak now. Therefore I guarantee the
success of this transaction in all legal definitions. As his attorney I
have contacted the bank for the claim of the fund and the Bank has issued
me a notice to contact the next of kin or the account will be declared
unserviceable and the fund will be retired by the state (Ayuntamiento de
Barcelona). This type of incident is not new, there are many people who
abandon such large amount of money in the bank due to circumstances in
foreign countries and the bank will be happy if there is no claim on it so
they may confiscate the total fund by Law. Here the situation is different
because with you we can claim it if we meet the bank requirement.



I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Bank as the
Next of Kin / Business associate / beneficiary of my client's fund, , so
that the fund will be released to you as his next of kin. All the legal
documents to back up your claim as my client's next of Kin are with me. All
I require is your honest cooperation and absolute confidentiality in order
to guarantee success.



I wish to point out that I want 20% of this money to be shared among the
charity organizations, while the remaining 80% will be shared equally
between us. Please be assured that this transaction is entirely risk free
as I guarantee the legality and success of this transaction.



If you wish to achieve this goal with me, please kindly contact me with
your interest to enable me start the process of claim immediately.

For more information please contact me on telephone Tel: +34 656 320 521
Fax +34 917 693 019. e-mail: josemanuelmoya1@gmail.com or
