"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: Can You Work With Me?

Dear:

I want to trust you with this confidential proposal. Before i continue, let me introduce myself to you, I am Captain Mayer Hartmann retired a South Africa citizen

Once served with the a Security firm in Iraq, (Read) in 2007 My crewmembers and I discovered about (Six million US Dollars) during one of our insurgents operation in Rumadi Iraq

Mostly 100-dollar bills and was quickly flown out of the war zone and deposited in an undisclosed private security Company/vault ,But we declare to them that the fund/consignment belong to A contractor.

Unfortunately, the rest of my crewmembers have lost dear lives and i lost one of my leg to the wicked Iraqi insurgents.

Last Year November the Security company issued me a notice to provide the owner of Next-of-Kin to claim/ receive to consignment or have it confiscated and Again this week another reminder was send to me that they are expecting the person i stated own the consignment/fund o my client’s next of kin.

Due to this dramatic turn of event is why   I have decided to contact you. Because i need someone i can deal with on trust to put his name forward as the beneficiary/owner fund/consignment.

If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. If you give me positive signals.

Send your Full Name, Address, Country, Age, Occupation and Photo Copy of Your ID or International Passport.
Finally I will furnish you with more details. Thanks and Waiting In anxious for your prompt response,

Regards and God Bless.
