"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!

- "top secret" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)

Subject: WAITING FOR YOUR FEEDBACK

Hello Friend

I have tried to reach you on Skype phone, but your line was busy, so I
decided to write you this message. I have been in search of someone with
this last name " Hsieh ", so when I saw you online, I was pushed to
contact you and see how best we can assist each other. I am Mr. Savo
Sarkar, a Bank Officer here in U.A.E. I believe it is the wish of God
for me to come across you now. I am having an important business
discussion I wish to share with you which I believe will interest you,
because it is in connection with your last name and you are going to
benefit from
it.

One Late Antonio Hsieh,A citizen of your country had a fixed
deposit with my bank in 2005 for 108 calendar months, valued at
US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million United State Dollars) the due date for
this deposit contract was last 22nd of January 2014. Sadly Antonio was
among the death victims in the May 27 2006 Earthquake disaster in Java,
Indonesia that killed over 5,000 people. He was in Indonesia on a
business trip and that was how he met his end. My bank management is yet
to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I
am his account officer. Antonio did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir
when the account was opened, and he was not married and no children.

Last week my Bank Management requested that Antonio should give
instructions on what to do about his funds, if to renew the contract. I
know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a means to
handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors happens to know that
Antonio is dead and do not have any Heir, they will take the funds for
their personal use, so I don't want such to happen.

That was why when I saw your last name I was happy and I am now seeking your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ Heir to the account, since you have the same last name with him and my bank head quarters will release the
account to you. There is no risk involved; the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law. It is better that we claim the money, than allowing the
Bank Directors to take it, they are rich already. I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the funds equal, 50/50% to both parties, my share will assist me to start my own company which has
been my dream.

Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this information as TOP TOP SECRET. We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response strictly through my personal email address, ( aladdkha@gmail.com)
We can as well discuss this on phone; let me know when you will be available to speak with me on Skype. Have a nice day and God bless.
Anticipating your communication.

Mr. Aladdin Khalid.
General Manager , Retail Banking and Wealth Management
