"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!

forwarding address but got no reply.

After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contact employers Nigerian National Petroleum
corporation that Mr. Gaski Dairo died from an auto
crash. On further investigation, I found out that
he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next
of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Gaski Dairo did not
declare any next of kin in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of
US$10,500,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to
claim it.

According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 4 (four)
years, the money will revert ! to the ownership of the
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to cl aim
the funds.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you
as a foreigner to stan d-in as the next of kin to Mr. Gaski Dairo
it doesnt matter if you have the same last name with him or not
so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get
into the hands of some corrupt government officials and
remember that this fund can only be claimed by a help of a
foreigner that is the main reason i am contacting you.


1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full
names and address so that the attorney will prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in
place as the next of kin.

2. The attorney will prapere for the drafting and
notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents
and letter of probate /administration in your favour for
the transfer.

3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you
provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to
you as! the beneficiary / next of
kin of Mr. Gaski Dairo .

The money will be paid into your account for us to share in
the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you . There is no risk at all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position asthe Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of
this transaction. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details.Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured
