"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: After much talk about the payment, my Wife and her Sister might
finally agreed to send you the whole $50,680....

Be informed that, I am still talking my Wife and her Sister and
pleading with them to put the position of the agreed terms that says
you must pay at least your own $200 directly to the Office of the
international diplomatic Agent in Denmark.
I am indeed pleading with them to please send you the whole $50,680,
to enable you just directly forward it as the purported claimant's
using your name/Address forwards it to the office of the international
envoy that brought the Fund's from Nigeria en-route Denmark to USBank
Office in Nevada USA, since this must be done in that direction before
my Office would be able to transfer the $3.9Million they kept for you
as a compensation because your name/Address was initially used to move
the Two fund's {the Sum of $14.9Million and the sum of $3.9Million
separately} from Nigeria to my Office here in Nevada USA.

Discussion is already at the top point towards succeed on it but not yet done.
However, I would want you to urgently forward me the bellow
information about the Bank Account you would want them to pay the
whole $50,680 Source of Fund's legal fees into and the Bank Account my
Bank must finally transfer your $3.9Million Fund's into as your final
destination receiver's Bank account.

TO ENABLE YOU EXPLOIT DIRECT BANK TO BANK CLEARANCE FEES FINANCING
PAYMENT OPTION WHEREBY MY WIFE SISTER.HER HUSBAND WOULD ASSIST FINANCE
THE CLEARANCE FEES AND THEN TAKE 10% OF THE FUND'S. BUT IF YOU HAVE A
EQUITY ACCOUNT, OUR AFFILIATE OFFICE COULD FINANCE EVERY INTERNATIONAL
EXPENSES MEANT TO BE PAID FREELY FOR YOU.
You are meant to; FILL IN THIS INFORMATION AS YOU SEND ME YOUR RESENT
ADDRESS AND YOUR PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER AS SHOWN BELLOW:

i} Send me a scan copy of your Driving license or international passport.
ii} Send me your Home Address or Company Address.......,
iii} Send me your personal phone number or numbers.......,
iv} Send me the complete details of the Bank Account, such as:
The Bank name........
The Bank Address........,
The correct Bank Routing number........,,
The correct Bank Swift code number........,,
The correct Bank Account numbers........,,
The Account beneficiary's owners or Company name,........,.
COMPANY ACCOUNT MOST WELCOMED {IF ANY}.

Remember that, before the $3.9Millions would be transferred final into
your final destination Account, my Office would first remove the
International diplomatic Envoy agreed 10%. About 10% could be set
aside American cost of transferring Source of Fund's Legal papers
retrievals fees and any transfer out to be made, American Tax/charges
as well as the procurement of American clearance papers within the
American Banking system. And be clearlly informed that My Wife
Sister/Her Husband would have 10% of the $3.9Million if you are
exploiting option {i} or USBank would have the 10% of the $3.9Million
if you are exploiting option {ii}. Its the remaining 70% of
$3.9Millions {That is $2,700,000} would then be finally made
transferred into any Bank Account you would want the Fund's be moved
into as your Final destination Account.
