"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 Sir,

We want to transfer to overseas ( ACQ- $55.000.000.00 euro)

Fifty

five

million

Euro only) from a Bank in Europe, I want to ask you to
quietly

look

for

a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to

provide

either an

existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to

receive this

money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as

long

as

you will

remain honest to me till the end for this important business

trusting

in you

and believing in God that you will never let me down either
now

or

in

future.

I am Dr.O.Charles Auditor General of a bank in Europe,
during

the

course of our

auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened
in

the

bank

in 1999

and since 2004 nobody has operated on this account again,
after

going

through

some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of
the

account died

without a AFs-heir AF0- hence the money is floating and if I
do

not

remit this

money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account is Katsunosuki Yuifum Bussho is a

Japanese

citizen who perished with other 147 passengers in EGYPTIAN

Boeing

737

PLANE

CRASH into the red sea. Visit for further detail:

{http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3365721.stm}

An Inheritance like this nature, what will make it crime is
if

you

did

not

follow the Rules, Laws/Procedures of an INTERNATIONAL

INHERITANCE

and

as

such I have made a master plan on how this business should
be

followed.

If you

are serious and capable to do this business with me, and you

know

that

you will

never, never ever betray me now or in the future let me know
so

that I

will

give you the full transaction details, already a perfect

arrangement is

in

place, planed and marshaled out for a smooth sound successful

transaction that both parties will be joyful and proud of at
the

end.

If you

are truly serious like I said send me first the follows;

{1} Your correct bank account information where you

will like the fund to be transferred to.

(2.) Your full Name and Address,

(3.) Your private phone and fax numbers both home and

office for easy communication.

{4} Your brief life biography.

I look forward to your earliest reply through my private

email .......dr_charles10@box.az



Yours sincerely,



Dr O.Charles.
