"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!

Your Attn;

I am Mr.Kamp Naseem, Corporate Finance Manager of Post
Bank, Driemond branch and I am forty-five years old. I
stumbled on this discovery . On June 6, 2000 an
American Oil consultant/contractor with the
Harliburton oil company office here in Amsterdam,
Mr.Howard Lookman made a Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at (Five Million United States Dollars)
in my bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. Several periodic reminders were sent but to no
avail and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, (Harliburton) that Mr.Howard Lookman had
died from an automobile accident on his wayback from a
holiday trip.

Further investigation revealed that Mr.Howard Lookman
declared no next of kin on his sworn affidavits with
the bank records. This sum of (Five Million United
States Dollars) is still in my bank and remain
unclaimed till date. According to The Netherland laws,
the government will confiscate this money if unclaimed
by the end of the second quater of 2006 financial
year.

I am therefore, most humbly and discreetly seeking a
reliable,serious minded,commited, honest and a
trustworthy foreign associate and friend to help stand
as the next of kin and secure these funds on my
behalf, incase Mr.Howard Lookman is not in any way
related to you, rather than having it seized by the
authorities.

I will give you more details as soon as I hear from
you, Should you be of assistance in any way, I offer
you 30% of total sum. However, you were recommended to
me as a reliable and trust worty person by an
acquaintance of yours, who wants anonymity for now. I
would also want to inform you that this is a capital
intensive project. we would have to settle certain
European taxes to facilitate a smooth transfer of
funds to your bank account. However, all the money
that is required will be sent to you before the
commencement of this transaction.

I will stop from here for now,why I will be looking
forward to hear from you soon.

N.B. ;Should any case you want to continue this
transaction with me. Please reply to my private email
address details below; And as soon as I received your
email.

Thanks and best regards.
