"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!

evaluate ourselves. Be rest assured that you will be wonderfully remunerated for joining my
organization on this less stressful investment.

Please let me know, at your earliest convenience, when you would be
available. I am available to talk with you any time this week or next.

Send me your full address and phone number so that i can forward
prospectus in a comprehensive format for your perusal. our line of
business is Estate developing, all you are required to do is receive
money from us and purchase a house on our behalf. You either live in
one of our purchased apartment or we pay for your monthly House rent
as our foreign partner.
