"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!

Subject: RE CONTACT ME FOR FUND TRANSFER

From: DR PAUL WILLIAMS
Direct phone/mobile:+2348037141682
The Financial Controller and The Chairman Contract Award Committee
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC ]

Dear Sir/madam,

I am DR PAUL WILLIAMS ,the Financial Controller and Contract Award Committee
Chairman of Nigerian National petroleum corporation [N.N.P.C. ]. My
colleagues have assigned me to seek for assistance of a reliable foreigner
through whom we can transfer the sum of US$17,100,000.00 (Seventeen
Million,One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) which arose from the deliberate
over-inflated contract value for the General maintainance of Kaduna and
Warri Refineries.

Our contact in the Federal Ministry of Finance have given us a go ahead
advice to process the release of this fund hence we have set in motion the
machinery for the take off of this transaction and further action will
commence immediately we hear from you.

We have agreed that after the transfer of the money into your account,you
shall be entitled to 25% of the total amount transferred, while the
remaining 65% will be for me and my colleagues and 10% mapped out for
expenses and your desire percentage is negociable.

Since we have no knowledge of business, our plan is to invest this money
into Real Estate, Stocks and we can also invest in some other profitable
businesses in your country based on your advice because many of our years
have been spent as civil servant, and we may likely resign from government
service to private business after this money is transferred into your
account. Please note that this business is strictly confidential and must
not be disclosed to a third party. This is necessary to avoid disclosure
that may jeopardize the transaction.

Finally, if this proposal is acceptable to you, or if you have any
questions, feel free to contact me immediately on my private phone
number:+2348037141682.
I wait to hear from you

Yours truley,
DR PAUL WILLIAMS
