"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: PRIVATE AND URGENT!!!

My name is Dr.David Silver, I am an investment banker based in Syria. I
worked with Al-Shufi investment Company in Syria as an investment officer
for many years before the outbreak of the civil unrest there which forced
some of us to relocate to the United Kingdom for safety.

I write you based on the request of one of the beneficiaries to our client,
an European who lost his life to the civil unrest in Syria. Due to the
unending unrest in Syria, his children and next of kin moved their late
father’s funds out from Syria to different security companies in America
and Europe for safe keeping and investments pending when they can safely
leave Syria and come over to the place of domicile of the receiver of the
funds to get their share of the funds.

I am therefore contacting you directly to solicit for your kind assistance
in receiving these funds totaling US$100million (ONE HUNDRED MILLION UNITED
STATES DOLLARS ONLY) on behalf of my clients children for investment
purposes in your country. All we need is a trusted and honest individual
who can receive these funds from the security company/bank on behalf of my
clients children and keep them safe there pending their arrival to your
country to receive their share of the funds.

For doing this, we are prepared to give you 30% of the funds while 60% goes
to them. 8% will come to me as my commission while 2% will be used to
offset any expenses that might be incurred in the course of moving the
funds from the security companies in America and Europe to your account
anywhere you desire the funds to be deposited for investment purposes.

If you are interested in assisting us, please get back to me immediately
using my email and contact below; Also provide to me your complete details
including; NAME AND ADDRESS, OCCUPATION AND POSITION, SEX AND AGE, DIRECT
CONTACT DETAILS such as mobile number, fax number, and email contact and a
valid identification.

Please reply and send your information ONLY on this email:
Davidsilver51@yahoo.com

I look forward to getting a favorable response from you.

YOURS TRULY,
David Silver.
