"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!

on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the
end of the transaction.
During my investigation and auditing in the bank, In my department I came
Across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foreigner
who died in a plane crash incident, you can also confirm this in the website
as follow:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm


The fund has been dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of
the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery to this development. Although personally, I kept this information
secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and
successful during the time of execution, the amount involved is USD$15.000,
000. (Fifteen million us dollars.) Meanwhile the whole arrangement and
directives needed to put claim over this fund as the confide next of kin to
the deceased, will be forward to you upon your acceptance information will
be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to
assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity. In
fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account
and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will
require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin
to the bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money
to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be, after due
verification and clarification to designated bank account.

smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 70% will be for me

and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I
will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment, either in your country or any other country you may
advice us to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you
when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible
stating your wish in this deal. This is my alternative email

Je suis le directeur charge des archives à la BAD-burkina. Je m'appelle Dr.
Kere Martin. Dans mon département,il a été découvert une importante somme
d'argent qui appartenait à un de nos clients qui mourut lors d'un accident
d'avion en juillet 2000 avec sa famille entière ne laissant personne pour
réclamer cette fortune qui s'élève à $15 M USD(américains).Vous pouvez avoir
plus d'informations de cet accident sur ce site
Web:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Depuis lors, personne ne s'est présenté pour réclamer cette somme qui se
trouve dans notre banque. Or, les règlements bancaires en Afrique stipulent
que, si une telle somme reste sans revendication après une période de
5ans,ceci doit être virée dans le compte de trésor bancaire. C'est afin
d'éviter que ce fond profite au gouvernement burkinabé que mon collègue et
moi avons décidé de chercher un partenaire étranger qui peu nous aider à
faire transférer cette somme dans son compte bancaire. Ceci dit, vous devrez
vous présenter au niveau de la banque comme héritier du défunt afin de
devenir bénéficiaire de ce fond. Le choix d'un étranger pour jouer ce rôle
révèle du fait qu'un burkinabé ne peut pas se présenter comme héritier(e) de
notre défunt client Nous acceptons que vous aurez les 30% du partage, mon
collègue et moi aurons les 60% alors que 10%
seront consacrés aux dépenses survenues lors du transfert. Une fois ce fond
transféré, mon collègue et moi viendrons sur place chez vous en vue du
partage, conformément aux pourcentages sus indiqués. Ainsi vous devez me
donner toutes vos coordonnées, ce qui me permettra de mieux vous connaître
et de vous envoyer le texte d'application(demande de transfert).Je vous
rassure que cette affaire est à 100%sans risque et que vous ne devrez mettre
en vous aucun atome de crainte. Veuillez croire cher monsieur, l'expression
de mes considérations. veuillez me répondre par le email suivant
