"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!

Dear Good Friend,

I have a business proposal for you , This fund in question has been stashed out of the excess profit made
last year by my branch office the name of the bank withheld for security reason , which I am the branch
manager. I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2013 to my head office
here in my country, and the financial report has been endorsed without the excess fund, and they will never
know of this. I have since then, placed this amount in a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary,
and I am contacting you as a foreigner to claim the money into your account. Upon your response, I will
configure your name on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on
how to apply to my head office for the Account Closure

Kindly forward your response to my private e-mail box: sakmar.susan1@yandex.com

Thanks
Yours sincerely
Susan Sakmar
