"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!

GOOGLE DEPARTMENT ( UK ).

The Google Promotion Award Team has discovered a huge number of double
claims Due to winners informing close friends relatives and third
parties about their Winnings and also sharing their identification
numbers. As a result of this, These friends try to claim the lottery on
behalf of the real winners. The Google promotion award committee has
reached a decision from the headquarters At the United Kingdom that any
double claim discovered by the Lottery Board Will result to the
canceling of that particular winning number, making a loss For both the
double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real Winner
was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are
Hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly
confidential Until you claim your prize.

Congratulations! From the Staffs & Members of the Google interactive
Lottery Board Commission.


Yours Sincerely,

MRS.HARLERY SHELLA.
