"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: Reliable Business Partner Needed

Head of Institutional &
Corporate Coverage at
Financial Markets Division

United Arab Emirates(UAE)


Dear Friend,

This letter must come to you as a surprise, but I believe it is only a day
that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I am
pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable business
proposal; I got your e-mail address through an internet yellow page web
directory and decided to contact you and ask for your assistance in this
urgent matter, requiring trust and confidentiality,I am Mr.Sameh Al
Qubaissi,Head of Institutional & Corporate Coverage at Financial Markets
Division,National Bank of Abu-Dhabi United Arab Emirates(UAE) married with
four children. I am writing this letter to ask for your support and
co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department,

On June 6,1999, an America Oil consultant/contractor with Petroleum
Corporation, Mr. David Ameeraly, made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for
twelve calendar months, Valued at US$16,500,000.00(sixteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars )in my branch upon maturity. I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the
Petroleum Corporation that Mr. David Ameeraly, died in the plane crash On
October 31, 1999, (an Egyptian Boeing 767 Flight 990) with other passengers
on board as you can confirm it yourself via the website below
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml


Most astonishing of my discovery was that, all records bear no next of kin,
meaning no member of Mr. David Ameeraly family knows about the deposit
therefore ,no member of his family will ever come forward to claim the
money, In order for the bank not to transfer the said sum of sixteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($16,500,000.00) as unclaimed funds
to the emirates treasury account, the above stated funds most be claimed
immediately by somebody standing in as late Mr. David Ameeraly, Next of
Kin, because According to (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LAW), at the expiration of
(Fifteen) years; the money will revert to the ownership of the (UNITED ARAB
EMIRATES) Government if nobody applies to claim the fund,


This revelation is only known to me because I was his personal account
officer before I was posted to become the Head of Institutional & Corporate
Coverage at Financial Markets Division,now I seek your collaboration to act
as next of kin to late Mr.David Ameeraly to claim the funds and move them
into useful investments, we shall split the cash between our self upon the
confirmation of the money into your account, I am ready to offer you 35% of
the total fund and 60% for me while 5% will be set aside for any expenses
might occur during the transaction,


Please note that by the virtue of my position in the bank,I have worked out
the perfect modality as well as I shall provide the relevant information's
and documents for the successful claim and transfer of the funds in the
account that will be provided by you, I can not stand in the forefront of
this transaction because I work with the bank,that is why I have come to
you, for assistance be rest assured that this project involve no risk to
you, upon the receipt of your acceptance mail ,I will like you to provide
