"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!

ExxonMobil House
Ermyn Way Leatherhead
Surrey, KT22 8UX .

I am Christopher Green, an Engineer with Exxon Mobil in London
http://www.exxonmobil.co.uk It is a fact that we have not met before
neither have we had any previous business dealings, but I strongly
believe that with understanding and trust we can have a successful
business relationship. I am a principal staff with Oil & Gas Company
{EXXON MOBILE} in United Kingdom. I have access to very vital
information that can be used to transfer funds out of the project
account to a secured account outside United Kingdom .I have the
required machinery to get it done since I am still in active service.
If it was possible for me to do it alone I would not have bothered
soliciting for foreign support, ultimately I need an honest foreigner
to play an important role in the completion of this business deal. I
have particular interest in investing in your country and will be
grateful if we work together in this business/mutual benefit venture.
More details will be sent to you as soon as I receive your response. I
look forward to meeting you in person and doing good business with you
and please treat as confidential .

I wait your letter of intent to partner with me

Sincerely.
Christopher Green.
