"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!

Attention,

This is to bring to your notice that, I have paid the re-activation fee and the delivery charge of your ATM CARD.I paid it because the ATM CARD worthy of (US$1.6m),has less than 21 days to expire and when it expires, the money will divert and forfeited into Government purse (account). With that I decided to help you pay the money so that, the ATM CARD will not expire, because I know when you get your ATM CARD definitely you must pay me back my money and even compensate me for helping you. Now I want you to contact DHL EXPRESS COMPANY with your Full Contact information’s so that they can deliver your ATM CARD to your designated address without any delay, like I stated earlier.

The delivery charges have been paid but I did not pay their official keeping fees since they refused. They refused and the reason is that they do not know when you are going to contact them and demur-rage might have increase. They told me that their keeping fees are $35 per day and I deposited it on Thursday 29th of May this week (2014)

Below is their Contact Information’s:

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your direct delivery address and Direct Tel/Fax number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their OFFICIAL Keeping fee of $35 US Dollars for their immediate action today to avoid the increase per a day.
