"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,

I am Andrew R. Tochaile, I would like to inform you of a business/deal worth millions of Dollars, which was left in an account by my late client and I would like you to be the beneficiary of the money.

Itâ€™s unfortunate that I cannot claim these money myself without a neutral person, because it will look suspicious for me to claim the money as the lawyer of the deceased, so for this reason I need a sincere person who I can present to the bank as the beneficiary of the money because whatever I tell the bank is what they will believe. Trust me, as I will make this legal, so you do not need to entertain any fear or panic for any reason.

This is once in a LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.

I will tell you more once you get back to me by confirming your readiness to proceed with me on this.

Regards,

Andrew R. Tochaile
