"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: Mrs.Inga-Britt Ahlenius,


To: Fund Inheritor Sir/Madam

This is to inform you that we came to Nigeria on Sunday been the 30th
of June 2013 after the just concluded UN World Global Summit held in
Switzerland and after series of complain we received from the FBI ,CIA
and other Security agencies from Africa,Asia, Europe, Oceania,
Antarctica,South America and the United States of America
respectively, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and its high
rate of scam and why they have not pay you your entitlement up till
this time. We decided to involve in this matter and have a lasting
solution to this problem and we decided to direct you on how best you
can receive your long expected payment under 3 working days if you
follow the legal rules as law demand.

THE BACKGROUND OF THIS REASONS:


It may interest you to know that fund transfer irregularities and
misconduct of huge sums of money out of Nigeria during the Military
administration of the late General Sani Abacha has created suspicions
on any movement of large amount, which is to be routed through
Nigeria. For this reason, the new House of Government under the
leadership of Senator David MARK (New Senate President) has formed a
committee on Finance/Economic matters. This Committee was mandated to
deliberate on all fund movement above $5,000,000.00 USD and also to
recover all suspected funds.Consequently, our organization has been
mandated to assist to monitor all fund movement out of Nigeria. Since
our establishment, the sum of $29 billion dollars has so far been
recovered. We execute the pre-investigative formalities and all
statutory requirements around the world. The purpose is to monitor,
pre-inspect, recommend or defer your fund movement or seizure of the
fund at your bank or on transit or cable.

Fortunately, We have met with the president luck Jonathan this morning
and he made us to understand that he has been trying his best to make
sure you receive your fund in your house directly to avoid requesting
you to pay transfer cost but all his effort proved abortive as you
keep sending money to some hoodlums who has been extorting money for
years from you without success claiming to be Dr Paul or whatsoever.It
might also interest you to know that the present administration of
President Good Luck Jonathan has directed only the newly constituted
senate president David Mark to handle all foreign payment and we found
it worthy to inform you that your fund is not any way outside Nigeria,
please take note of this and sit up and if you really want to receive
your long expected payment, do not disclose this to any one including
those extorting money from you, be warned.


Right now,as directed by our secretary general Mr.Ban Ki-Moon,We have
decided to inform you that we have authorized the Government of
Nigeria to effect the payment of US$12.5M via cash delivery without
any more delay.The only thing you will be required to do to confirm
your fund to your address via cash delivery is for you to secure the
Fund Bail-Bond Diplomatic Bullion Box to enable your already packaged
and sealed fund sent to your address through diplomatic agent without
any hitch.


Sincerely,you are a lucky person because I have just discovered that
some top Nigerian/British Government Officials are interested in your
fund and they are working in collaboration with One Mr.John Wheeler
from Scotland to frustrate you and thereafter divert your fund into
their personal account.

I have a very limited time to stay in Nigeria here ,so I would like
you to urgently Contact the payment director in charge of all funds in
Nigeria in the person of Senator David Mark and plead with him to send
your funds across to you and please confirm to this message within 24
hours from now and let us know if you have contact the senate
president with his information below.


ATTN: Senator David Mark
OFFICE: Senate president, Federal Republic Of Nigeria.

IMPORTANT NOTICES AND WARNING

The Federal Government Of Nigeria in conjunction with United
Nations,IMF,CIA,FBI Interpol and World Bank wishes to inform you that
all payment by ATM CARD Payment, Draft Payment, Direct Wire Payment
And Online Payment has been stopped for security reasons ,to avoid

money. Our Honorable Senator David Mark of international reputation is
were you are advise to receive your long expected payment via cash
delivery to your address as soon as you meet up with the Legal
requirements,failure to adhere to this instruction ,the UN Authority
And the Federal Government of Nigeria will not be held responsible
for any Lost and any further contact /communication apart from his
office (Senator David Mark) is a Scam be warned.
