"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: Dear


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.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/volckmem.html


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 accounts, 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 unprocessed claims 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 have
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:

http://www.crt-ii.org/_awards/index.phtm

Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details and necessary contacts
for claim of the inheritance with no encumberance. The money will be banked in
the Carribean Islands, being a tax free, safe haven for money and we can share
it and use in investment of our choice.


Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a foreigner to HELP process the
claim 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 release of the inheritance claim to you through a bank in the
Carribean Island.

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 retrieve the claims easily
and effortlessly.

Due to expenses which i will incur, i will take 60 percent and you will receive
40 per cent of the total amount. THERE IS NO LIENS, ENCUMBERANCES OR PROBLEM
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.

For increased privacy, please reply to me via email,
ronald_s662@yahoo.com


Thanks once more for co-operating,

Ronald S. Lauder.
