"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!

formal (EFCC) chairman who was fired from office by Nigeria government for
misuse of public funds and beneficiary fund, (UNDER SECTION 101 FINANCIAL
CODE OF GOVERNMENT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA) (FGN).

I resume office as the head of (EFCC) 2011 with order of Federal
Government of Nigeria (FGN) I was instructed to commence with the
immediate investigation of transaction within Nigeria bank with the
payment files handed over to me by Mrs Farida Waziri before she left the
office to avoid legal malpractices with Government/Public Funds.

Before then Nigeria government has suspend all international transaction
since 2011 because of involvement of bank directors and lawyers whom
involves them self into state of forging fake documents to assist
beneficiary to claim their fund within our banks at the end nothing was
down to help the fate of the beneficiary to get HIS/HER fund without
recourse to due process of law, This decision was taking by our Government
because impostors and perpetrators are answering my name as Mr Ibrahim
Lamorde as Head of Economic and Financial Crime Commission in order to
secure the documents from our government.

government to EFCC to make sure beneficiaries fund is not diverted by any
