"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!

Dear Customer

We won't be able to deliver your Fund ATM CARD to you at this period
of time because of the
Corona virus crisis, but if you permit us, we can use your ATM CARD to
transfer your fund to your bank account little by little until we get
your total sum of $3.5 million transfer to you.

The Documents packaged together with your ATM
CARD reviews all the information we need to operate with the ATM CARD
including the pin numbers, but what we cannot do is to deduct any
amount from your fund for any reason because of the insurance
coverage.

To enable us to use your ATM CARD and transfer your fund to your
account, you will be needed to provide your bank account information,
and you will secure or obtain an IMF Fund Transfer Permit from
International Monetary Fund office here in Nigeria, according to the
IMF rules and regulations.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Larry Adams
(The Dispatched Officer)
