"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!

Sir,

RE-PRESIDENTIAL ADVICE.

It is very clear that Banks all over the World have similar work ideas however, this might seem ridiculous and unbelievable but, real as you have not be directed accordingly which have steadily kept your funds ON-HOLD with the CBN suspense account for security reasons . The delays in releasing your pending fund is due to the fact that your payment file as programmed on our Central Computer is polluted with different signatories , different claim from different persons.

However,There is no possible way such un clarified payment could be released to any of the persons making claim of this fund.

You are a bit lucky that your file contains the ORIGINAL SOURCE OF FUNDS & DEED OF ASSIGNMENT which makes your person more legitimate and real on this payment claim however, payment your pursuit wouldn't have been successful until the right Legal corrections are made by the CBN Legal representative who will be at the court to effect a comprehensive change of signatories to your name specifically as several signatories as the truth was not revealed to you by who ever you have been dealing with so, ensure absolute concentration and adherence to the formal protocols of having this CORRECTION OF SIGNATORY completed and further transfer of your fund will be effected within 24 Hours of completing this proceedings.

Note also, that THE SENATE COMMITTEE / PRESIDENT FRN have unanimously deliberated and agreed that all payment be made directly from Nigeria (CBN) and not any of our corresponding Banks because of the complaint received from our esteemed beneficiaries in recent times...TAKE NOTE..

This cost is concessionally reduced to US$180 Only by the President FRN.

Long Live Jonathan Goodluck, Long Live FRN

With special thanks
