"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!

Subject: Refunds To All your Lost Funds.

Attention: Beneficiary,

I am Andrew Morgan, secretary to the United Nation Resident Coordinator Mr. Daouda Touré. I was directed by my boss
Mr. Daouda Touré to inform you that your detail/info is among those who have not received their compensation from
the United Nations after series of complains from FBI and other Security agencies from the various continent against

Africa for the rate of scam activities going on in these nations. During the visit of the UN secretary general Mr.
Ban Ki-Moon, my boss had a special auditing program under the auspices of Mr. Ban Ki-Moon and the World Bank
President Dr. Jim Yong Kim, and they agreed with the Nigerian Government that US$1 Million will be compensate to
you.

To forestall this, security for your funds was organized in the form of your personal Identification number (PIN)
ATM CARD and this will enable only you to have direct Control over your funds in the ATM CARD. We will monitor this
payment ourselves to avoid the hopeless situation created by some corrupt officials here. As soon as you get back to
me, i will furnish you with the full contact information of my boss Mr. Daouda Touré who is the UN resident
coordinator here so that you can contact him for reconfirmation to enable him issue and send the ATM card to you
immediately so that you can use to withdraw your funds in any ATM machine in any part of the world, but the maximum
is Fifteen Thousand dollars per day

I await your response for further proceedings.

Sincerely yours,
Mr. Andrew Morgan
Secretary to the Resident
Coordinator United Nation
