"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!

Good day Friend,

I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable
business proposal, I got your e-mail address

in Internet while browsing after I decided to contact you and ask for your
assistance in this urgent matter,

requiring trustand confidentiality. I am Mr. Yovieara Suma Faisal, the
Branch manager,
BANK MANDIRI (INDONESIA), Married with three children.

I am writing this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry
out this business opportunity in my
department, On June 6, 2005, an Dutch Senator.Willem Witteveen, made a
numbered time ( fixed) deposit for twelve
calendar months, Valued at US $ 12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million United State
Dollars in my branch upon maturity. I

sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and

finally we discovered that Senator.Willem Witteveen, died in the plane
crash On 16 July,2014, (an Malaysia

Airlines Boeing FlightMH17 on 17 July.) with other passengers on board as
you can confirm it

Most astonishing of my discovery was that, all records bear no next of
kin, meaning no member of Senator.Willem
Witteveen, family knows about the deposit therefore, no member of his
family will ever come forward to claim the

money,In order for the bank not to transfer the said sum of Twelve Million
United State Dollars ($ 12,000,000.00)

as unclaimed funds to the Indonesian treasury account, the above stated
funds most be claimed immediately by

somebody standing in as late Senator.Willem Witteveen. Next of Kin,
because According to (INDONESIAN LAW), at the

expiration of (5) Five years;the money will revert to the ownership of the
(INDONESIAN) Government if
nobody applies to claim the fund, This revelation is only known to me
because I was his personal account officer
before I was posted to become the branch manager, now I seek your
collaboration to act as next of kin to late
Senator.Willem Witteveen, to claim the funds and move them into useful
investments.

We shall split the cash between our self upon the confirmation of the
money into your account, I am ready to

offer you 35% of the total fund and 60% for me while 5% will be set aside

well as I shall provide the relevant information's and documents for the
