"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!

Hi!

I was searching for child care centers and found Cary Knowledge Beginnings at:

Dear Reader,

My name is Gordon Slater I am the personal attorney/sole executor to my late client who shares similar Surname with you.

After the death of my client alongside his only surviving son in an auto crash since the year 2002, the bank contacted me to provide his Next of kin to inherit his fortune totaling Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$9,500,000.00) according to the existing banking policy.

I have written several letters to his embassy with the intent to locate any of his extended family who should be the beneficiary and my efforts has been to no avail.

I have received official letters from the board of directors of the holding bank in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws therefore I have been issued a 30 working days ultimatum to provide his next of kin or forfeit the deposit.

From my professional experience I can use a legal means to re-profile and present you as the next of kin to my deceased client since you share same surname to enable you put a claim to the funds on our behalf.

Please kindly indicate your interest for more information by responding to me.

Yours in Service

Gordon Slater Esq.
