"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: business which will beneficial to both of us


Dear Friend,

I am Miss.Nnacy Suduago,

I work in the Foreign Remittance Department,(ECOBANK)ouagadougou burkina faso, I have a business which will beneficial to both of us.The amount of 8.5million euro,which i want to tansfer from an abandon account to your bank account

I will be very glad if you do assist me to relocate this sum of (Euro8.5m) Million Euro to your bank account for the benefit of both of us.

Honestly,I cannot operate it alone without using a Foreigner who will stand as a beneficiary to the money, that is why I decided to contact you seeking your help and assist, so we can smoothly transfer the fund also share the benefit together with me.

The sharing of the fund 50/50% base on the fact that it is two man business, and it is risk free as there is no risk involved because there will be a legal back up document as well which will back the money up into your bank account there in your country.

And for the above reasons, the managements of the bank authorized me officially as a Foreign Remittance Department of the bank to verify the next of kin to our deceased customer.Therefore,the bank will always abide by my official directions through the official authorization bestowed on me. And for this reasons you have nothing to fear as your interest and identity will be legally protected.

There is no doubt about your eligibility as the legal next of kin to our deceased customer and beneficiary to the fund from the account number N°:2637578-2341 with the following reasons:

Before the death of our deceased customer Mr Andrzej Kremer-Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland,his true next of kin was not indicated to the board of directors of the bank because of the top secrecy and confidentiality of the business which our late customer transacted with the various governments in West Africa .

The deceased late Andrzej Kremer-Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland he die in 11 April 2010 in plane crashes in Russia did not have any relationships with our bank;he was only a customer to our bank. So there is no trace either now or in future.
