"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!

Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs. Connie Dutton, I am a Republic of Kazakhstan, 57 years Old. I reside here in Republic of Kazakhstan. My residential address is as follows. street Kirovà , city of Zyryanovsk, East Kazakhstan region, Republic of Kazakhstan, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$30,000 while in the Kazakhstan, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, And I was directed to meet Mr.Jeffery Daniel, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $3.5 Million Moreover, Mr.Jeffery Daniel, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email address, that is why I have decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you.

I will advise you to contact Mr.Jeffery Daniel.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.
COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name : Mr.Jeffery Daniel
Email:( jefferydaniel@foxmail.com

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Mr.Jeffery Daniel was just US$300 for the paper works which according to him is compulsory, take note of that. If there is any thing you need to know about this please feel free to email me.
