"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: Mr.Tamer Al Qadri
MANAGER National Bank of Abu-Dhabi
Hor Al ANZ Branch,Royal House Bldg.,
Hor Al Anz Est
P.O.BOX 4436 Dubai,
U.A.E.

Good day Friend,
I'm pleased to get across to you with a very urgent and profitable business proposal, i need your assistance in this urgent matter. I got your e-mail address from the Internet while browsing and i decided to contact you for your assistance in this urgent matter that requires trust and confidentiality.
I'm Mr.Tamer Al Qadri, Branch Manager National Bank of Abu Dhabi, Hor Al ANZ Branch, Dubai, U.A.E. I'm married with four Children.
I'm 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 Corporation, Mr. Richard Brokav, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, Valued at US$16,500,000.00 (Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand 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. Richard Brokav, 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.

Most astonishing of my discovery was that, all records bear no next of kin, meaning no member of Mr. Richard Brokav 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 declare the said sum of Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($16,500,000.00) as unclaimed funds and confiscate it to the emirates treasury account, the above stated funds must be claimed immediately by somebody standing in as late Mr. Richard Brokav Next of Kin because according to (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LAW), at the expiration of 15 (Fifteen) years, the money will be reverted 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 moved to my present post as the branch manager, now i seek your cooperation to act as next of kin to late Mr. Richard Brokav, 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 50% of the total funds and 50% for me as the for the Brother Hood Matters.

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 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 this my private email address: (unlotouk@yahoo.co.jp)

(1) Your Valid Direct Tel/ Mobile/Fax Number.
(2) Your Full Name:
(3) Current Resident Address.
(4) Your Private E-mail Address.
(5) Your Occupation:
(6) Your Age and Sex:
(7) Your Nationality:

Then i shall furnish you with due process of concluding this transaction without any delay. Please discard this message if you are not interested and keep this deal TOP SECRET ONLY BETWEEN YOU AND ME. One Passionate appeal, i will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, if you have any reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any Leakage of this information will be too bad for me at my work place as the Branch Manager National Bank of Abu Dhabi, here in U.A.E and that is why i can't use my official email address to contact you for security purpose, i had to open a private email address which is for this transaction alone while we will be dealing through the email till we could meet in person.

Thanks for your kind understanding.
Mr.Tamer Al Qadri
Branch Manager National Bank of Abu Dhabi
