"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!

- "from the desk of" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "i will like you to " (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "million united state dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- ",000,000" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)

I am pleased to get across to you with a very urgent and profitable business

Branch Ali Ibn Abi Talib St, Near Oud Al Tawba Roundabout (UNITED ARAB

EMIRATES), Married with four Kids.

I am writing this proposal to ask for your support and cooperation to carry out

this deal opportunity in my department. On June 6, 1999, an America Oil

consultant/contractor with Petroleum Coorporation, Mr Thomas Stone, made a

numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months, Valued at

US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million United State Dollars in my branch upon

maturity. I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no

reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his

contract employers, the Petroleum Corporation that Mr Thomas Stone, died in the

plane crash On October 31, 1999, ( an Egyptian Boeing 767 Flight 990 ) with

other passengers on board as you can confirm it yourself via the website below.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml

Most astorning of my discovery was that, all records bear no next of kin,

meaning no member of Mr Thomas Stone, family knows about the deposit

therefore, no member of his family will ever come forward to claim the money, in

order for the bank not to transfer the said sum of Twelve Million United State

Dollars ($12,000,000.00) as unclaimed funds to the emirates treasury account,

the above stated funds most be claimed immediately by somebody standing in as

late Mr Thomas Stone.

Next of Kin, According to (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LAW), at the expiration of 12

(Twelve) years, the money will be revert to the ownership of the (UNITED ARAB

EMIRATES) Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. This revelation is

only known to me because i was his personal account officer before i was posted

to become the branch manager, now i seek your cooperation to act as next of kin

to late Mr Thomas Stone, to claim the funds and move them into useful

investments, we shall split the cash between our self upon the confirmation of

the money into your Bank account.

I am ready to offer you 35% of the total fund and 60% for me while 5% will be

set aside for any expenses that might be incurred during the transaction.

Please note that by virtue of my position in the bank, i have worked out

perfect modality as well as i shall provide the relevant information's and

documents for the successful claiming and transfer of the funds into the account

that will be provided by you. I cannot stand in the forefront of this

transaction because i work with the bank ,that is why i have come to you for

assistance, be rest assured that this deal involves no risk , upon the receiving

of your acceptance mail . I will like you to provide me with the following

details, to my private email address: ( ahmed.nbd2001@gmail.com )
