"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!

since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused

to pay me, I had paid over $50,000 while in the United States trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C with all my compensation documents, And I was directed by the ( F B I)

Director to contact Agent Mr David Holmes who his a representative of the ( FB I ) and a member of the

COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE in Europe and I contacted him, he explained everything to me. He said whoever is

contacting us through emails are fake. He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest

woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $15,Million Us Dollars, Moreover, Mr David Holmes

showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payment and I saw your email address as one

of the beneficiaries, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you they

are not with your funds, they are only making money out of you I will advise you to contact Mr.David Holmes.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your funds is with

them, it is not in anyway with them they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have
