"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!

Having gone through your payment file, I noticed some mistakes done by the previous management of the bank that had made it difficult by all the bank’s foreign subordinate and our correspondence bank to honour all the bank’s instruments to facilitate the wire transfer of this money into your account, thus hindering you from receiving your money.

In order to avoid this mistake, a new payment arrangement has been planned with the World Bank assistant to effectively credit your account electronically, avoiding the former bureaucracies that hindered the former payment arrangement from my predecessor, Professor Charles Soludo. we have appointed the JP Morgan chase bank to release the sum of 6, 500,000.00 million dollars to you as the beneficial of this funds.

I wish to inform you now the square peg is in square hole, and can be voguish for that your payment is being processed and will be released to you as soon as you contact the JP Morgan chase bank.
