"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!

Mrs. Alice Chester,

Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs. Alice Chester, a US citizen, 47 years Old Lady. I reside here in Peachtree St, Atlanta Georgia. My residential address is as follows. 907 Peachtree St, Atlanta, GA 30309, United States, I am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in United Kingdom many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$37,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to United Kingdom with all my compensation documents, As I've been directed by the (F.B.I) Director to contact and meet Barrister Baker Cutler, who is a member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE and representative of the FBI in EU/UK, so I contacted Barrister Baker Cutler 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 $1.5 Million US Dollars Moreover, Barrister Baker Cutler, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries, that is why I 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 Barrister Baker Cutler.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name : Barrister Baker Cutler (Esq)
Email: barristerbcer@emailn.eu

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 Official money I paid to Barrister Baker Cutler was just $390.00 for the legal paper works, kindly take note of that.

But if you are unable to travel down to United Kingdom because of one reason or the other, then kindly explain to him your reasons why you cannot come down and he will send you the payment information which you are to use in sending the payment to him in order for him to obtain the legal document from the court of law there in United Kingdom so that your fund can be transferred to you without any delay just the way mine was being transferred to me.



Fill Out the information to him if you are ready to get your FUNDS

Your Full Name: ..............
Direct Phone: ..................
Country.................
Occupation: .....................
Gender: .........
Age: ..............
Amount won: ....................
Name of the company: .........
Date of notification: ...............


Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Baker Cutler so that he can help you to transfer your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
