"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 friend,

My name is Ronald S lauder, an executive member of Independent
Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland.
Reference the website below for confirmation

http://www.icep-iaep.org/icep_members.htm

ICEP is charged with the responsibility of finding bank
accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss
indigenes, which have remained dormant since World War
II.

It may interest you to know that In January 13 2005,
the Swiss Banker's Association published a list of
dormant accounts originally opened by non-Swiss
citizens. These accounts had been dormant since the
end of World War II (May 9, 1945). Most belonged to
Holocaust victims.

The continuing efforts of the Independent Committee of
Eminent Persons (ICEP) have since resulted in the
discovery of additional dormant accounts -2700 in
july, 2005.

The published lists contain all types of dormant
accounts, including interest-bearing savings accounts,
securities a ccounts, safe deposit boxes, custody
accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction
accounts. Numbered accounts are also included.
Interest is paid on accounts that were interest
bearing when established.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles
processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss
citizens. A dormant account of NEUMANN ECKSTEIN
with a credit balance of 11,000,000 US dollar plus
accumulated interest was discovered by me. The
beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era,
leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of
heirs. The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been
mandated to report all unclaimed money for permanent
closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit
balance into the treasury of Switzerland government as
provided by the law for management of assets of
deceased beneficiaries who died interstate (living no
wills).

Many people who have full records of their relatives bank details
h ave successfully claimed their inheritance and paid in full. List of
claimants who have been paid are listed on the website for

verification.
Visit the website below to see the list of claimants who have been

paid:

Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret
details and necessary contacts for claim of the money
without any PROBLEM. The money will be banked in the
Carribean Islands, being a tax free, safe haven for money
and we can share the money and use in investment of
our choice.


Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a
foreigner to HELP claim the money as the beneficiary. All that is
required is for you to provide me your details for
processing of the necessary legal, and administrative
claim documents for transfer of the money to you.
Provide me with your full name, address, and
telephone/fax. The money will be transferred to a secure account in

your name ,
because you will be acting as the next of kin to the deceased
person that can claim the money with claim documents
in your name in the Carribean Island, and you can
now start accessing the money gradually and
transferring to your country and other banks of choice
in the world. The banks in Caribbean Islands have internet

banking and telephone banking facility with electronic wire

transfer feature through the internet and also anonymous ATM debit

card. All these
features mean additional security and convenience, so that you can

stay in your country and
access the money.

My share will be 60 percent and your share is 40 per cent of the total

amount. THERE IS NO
RISK INVOLVED.

You can find additional information about unclaimed
money through the internet at the following websites:

www.swissbankclaims.com


The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has allocated the money for

payment to the beneficiary
awaiting submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement.

I find myself priviledged to have this information and
this is a great opportunity for a life time of
success without risks.

Due to security reasons, reply to my via email,


Thanks once more for co-operating,

Ronald S lauder
