"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,
In my personal capacity I had contested and insisted that justice be made on your transaction given the fact that you have lost total confidence in the sincerity of the government towards release of your payment to you, due to lack of transparency characterized by some bottle-neck process and dishonesty of principal officers and of course interception and interference of some unidentified group of individual impostors claiming who they are not.
I submitted application to the attention of the authorities ( The Presidency, Finance Minister and Central Bank Governor ), for immediate and final consideration on your payment file to release the part payment of US$7.5 Million; as such to apply a way to have your funds wired directly to your designated account to you through wire transfer or through cash payment Option ( Courier Cash Delivery ).
I only need your consent to enable me harmonize this arrangement through the appropriate authorities, by this way there will be absolute elimination of any form of Nigeria interference, and policies capable of causing some unwanted hindrances. I advise that you be focused and follow up with this transaction until your funds is wired to your account through either of the two banks or through cash payment option ( Courier Cash Delivery) .
I await your response as soon as possible so I can complete the entire credit facility instruction. Kindly re-confirm your personal and banking details.
Yours-In-Service,
Joseph B. Daudu (SAN)
President,Nigerian Bar Association
