"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 Sirs/Madam,



INVITATION TO TENDER


The Republic of South Sudan is the worlds youngest nation. It is the
193rd member state of the United Nations and the 54th member state of
the African Union. The country gained independence on 9th July 2011
following a self determination referendum in which the citizens
overwhelmingly voted for total autonomy from the then Sudan.

The referendum, conducted in January 2011, was one of the provisions of
the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed in 2005. The CPA ended
one of Africas longest civil wars in which many lives were lost. After
emerging from decades of neglect and discrimination, the country is now
putting all its efforts and resources to nation building.

The Government of Republic of South Sudan formally invites interested
person(s), group (s), company(s), supplier(s) or vendors to tender bids
