"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!

Dear Friend,

Hope your day has been good? I am Dr. Martin Dustin; I work for Lloyds
Bank
here in

England. I am writing you from my office which will be of a great
immense
benefit for

both of us. Being the assistant manager at the branch, I discovered the
late French Oil

Major Total CEO Christophe de Margerie, who died in a plane crash on the
20th of

October 2014 in Moscow, has an abandoned account with a sum of £16.5
Million Pounces

and when opening this account i discovered he did not specify any next
of
kin. I seek

your partnership and cooperation to list your name as the next of kin to
this fund, so

the Lloyds Bank can transfer this fund to you.

I am seeking your partnership and cooperation to carry out this
transaction
together

because the Lloyds Bank is closes some of her branches and the branch
where
this fund

is been lodged is among those to be closed , so i want us to get this
fund
out before

its closure . This might seems morally wrong , but do not judge me, if
you
are into the

banking system you will understand that this is what most bankers do to
survive in the

banking industry , since i will soon be retiring and having seen this
great
opportunity

, i decide to embrace it, if only you will partner with me . I have
contacted you

because i believe you will not run away with my own share of this fund
when
it arrives

your account, and the sharing ratio will be 60% for me and 40% for your
cooperation.

For you to verify the Lloyds bank closing branches and the death of
French
Oil Major

Total CEO Christophe de Margerie , please visit the sites :

of-total-oil-is-dead-at-63.html?_r=0

I will like to meet with you in your country so i can explain in details
how we will

proceed in this transaction, but first kindly provide me with your
details
below :

Kindly reply to my email here: dustin_dr.martin@yahoo.com

1. Full Name : ........................
2. Your Telephone Number: ..................
3. Your Contact Address: ..............
4. Age/Gender: ................
5. Core job/Occupation: .................

your details

fund,
so we will

transferred to

you within 7 banking days.

Best Regards,
Dr. Martin Dustin
