"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!

Consequently, as my direct contact person, it's my desire to guide the two parties through ESCROW SURETY, to ensure that your allocation is approved and your proposed investment plans are funded according to your direct financial need. I am ready to do this on the condition (THAT BOTH PARTIES LENDER AND BORROWER WILL BE
PROTECTED BY ESCROW ADMINISTRATIVE AGREEMENT FOR MORE TRUST AND SECURITY IMPERVIOUSNESS).

I will be entitled to 10% equity in any of the chosen investment field you chose to place the fund throughout the duration of the 5 years contract tenure. For now, would like you to give me total amount you will be needing for the investment alongside with attached copy of your Business Plan to enable us provide you with the fund UNDER THE CONDITION AND AGREEMENT OF
(ESCROW) ADMINISTRATIVE. Escrow Being Used More Frequently To Guarantee Fulfillment of Contracts. I shall wait for your response before making available to you the application form and other modalities.
