"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!

SUB: IRREVOCABLE RELEASE OF YOUR PAYMENT VIA CASH DELIVERY.

I am Barrister "lloyds fergunsen", the newly appointed national security
adviser and attorney to the United-Nation representing and also the one
fighting against the un-necessary delayed of not releasing innocent
beneficiary's owed inheritance contract & winning payment duly owe to them
including yours but since your inheritance yet unclaimed funds are still
reflecting in my department as unclaimed inheritance funds, then i can
assist you to have it release with my position as a lawyer to the United
Nation Organization if you want me too.

So, I decided contacting you to make a DEAL with you only if you are
intrested to execute and also complete this DEAL with me confidentially
without any third party involving till we both finalize everything due to
my newly appointment with the UN and also considering my profession as a
new lawyer here with the UN organization, but since my department is the
only office that is in charge and has the legitimate right as the UN
attorney to approve & release all yet unclaimed inheritance foreign
winning payment of this magnitude that has not yet been paid/released to
their various beneficiary's and that is the major reason why i am
contacting you now so i can SEAL a DEAL with you secretly since this
highly respected organization known as the "UN" has used their universal
power of equality to recovered numbers of yet unclaimed payment and yours
happened to be among those that the UN management recently discovered that
has not yet been release/paid to their due owners.

I was able to use my good office to rectify this whole problem of delaying
peoples inheritance funds un-necessary and at the same time using this
opportunity to fight to the immediate release of your own claim that is
still pending with our organization so that your inheritance payment can
be release and delivered to you without any hitch together with other
inheritance fund beneficiary's who has duly and willingly complied to the
laid down law been the rules & regulation attached to the irrevocable
release to this payment.

I am delighted wholeheartedly to inform you that the contract/Inheritance
panel, which just concluded it’s seating in London federal capital
territory just released your (Name & E-mail Address) today among the newly
yet unpaid inheritance fund beneficiaries that are to benefit from this
last quater fiscal immunity payment of the year 2009 via diplomatic mean.
This panel was primarily delegated to investigate and to genuinely
manipulated all debts and claims as it has eaten deep into the economy of
the Great Britain-London, so if you are ready to work with me then I will
assist you and ensure you receive this claim now but you must agree to my
terms & condition of service because it is now a DEAL.

However, we wish to bring to your urgent notice that your payment profile
is still reflecting in our central computer as unpaid debt in my
department where i work as the lawyer to the (UN) office while auditing
was going on. Your file was forwarded to my office by the chief auditors
as unclaimed fund. At this moment, I wish to use this medium to inform you
that for the time being the Great Britain-London has stopped further
payment through bank to bank transfer due to numerous petitions received
from the FBI,IMF and other financial and security agents to UK Government
against our banks on wrong payment and diversion of funds to different
account.

In this regards, I am going to use my good office to send you your
part-payment in the tune of $7.5M (Seven million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) only by cash to you via a universal immunity
diplomatic means. In process of doing that, i will personally secure every
needed documents as the lawyer representing the (UN) office now to cover
the money including the affidavit to claim of this very particular yet
unclaimed payment from our federal high court here in London which will
bestow the right and privilege to you as the rightful beneficiary who is
to receive this payment after meeting up with the delivery requirement as
the law stipulate.

All these will be only on the condition that you will give me 10% of the
fund which is Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars
only out of the $7.5 million you are to receive as soon as you receive the
money on your door step.

Note: The money will be coming on (2) security proof boxes. The boxes are
already sealed with synthetic nylon seal and padded with machine by the
management of this organization and i also want you to know that the
management are not aware of my plans with you in this transaction, so you
have to keep it a top secret till me and you are able to conclude this
very transaction.

This fund was brought to us from the World Bank special delegates because
the funds itself was meant for our local afem market here in the UK.

But you don't have to worry for any thing, as the transaction is 100% risk
free and will remain legit as long as you work with me transparently. The
boxes are coming with a diplomatic agent assigned by the management of
this organization who will accompany the boxes to your house address or
any address you will provide to me for this transaction to enable us
complete.

All you need to do now upon your willing acceptance on my condition, is to
send to me a "Certified Letter Of Guarantee" that you will willingly give
me 10% of the funds as soon as you receive the $7.5M, and your full house
or office address and your identity such as, international passport or
driver’s license including your personal contact phone numbers which must
be a working numbers, the diplomatic attached will travel with it.

He will call you immediately he arrives in your country's airport to
update you and I hope you understand each and every point that i have made
clear to you in this email message am sending you.

Also note that anybody telling you that they are the one in charge of the
release of your expecting fund from Africa or any part of the world that
is different from the United-Nation Foreign Debts Payment High Commission
Office here in (UK), been the only approved organization presently in
charge that has just of recovered your own yet unclaimed inheritance owed
debt payment, as the FBI, IMF and other financial agencies have given us
the irrevocably approval and mandate to release this funds to you without
any hitch and also serve you better and ensure you receive your payment
via this method of payment, so note that you are thereby advise to stay
away from any other office,person or groups of people and contacting in
regards to the final release of your pending inheritance claim with the
United-Nation Office only till your payment gets to you safely which am
about doing now.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: for security reasons and to enable the both of us
conclude this transaction successfully, note that the diplomat coming with
the consignment boxes will not know the original contents inside the boxes
he his to delivery to you.

So what l and our accredited management will declare to him that is inside
the consignment boxes is a sensitive photographic film material and
classified volume confidential company's contract documents.

Please note categorically that, before i proceed with the next
arrangement, You are advice to call me immediately on my direct telephone
number so we can talk and agree first before i seal this transaction and
if you have any question to ask for more clarification before and remember
to send the required information directly to my
Email:(barrlloydsfergunsen1960@gmail.com) and I will let you know how far
I have gone with the arrangement. I will secure the diplomatic immunity
clearance certificate that will be tagged on the boxes to make it stand as
a diplomatic consignment. This clearance will make it pass every custom
checking point all over the world without any hitch. All this I will do
with my own money as your partner.

Please, I need an urgent reply from you immediately you receive this
message on my private number: +44-704-572-2622, because the boxes are
schedule already to live this week as soon as I hear from you positively.

I am highly submitted and willing to serve you better wholeheartedly.
