"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!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "million dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)

My Dear,
I need your trust, one of our Foreign Deceased that worked in our
(Cotton-Company) for 32years as Engineer; He died accidentally in our
Milling-Machine in 1980, since then none of his family members applied
for his pension and compensation.

Heâ€™s pension is 800$ per Month, the New director who was employed last
year 2014, saw his file that neither pension nor compensation was
given to the family, he therefore called a meeting which the sum of
USD1.2Million Dollars was deposited in Central Bank of Burkina Faso on
behalf the family.

As the company Supervisor, I sent my personal assistance Mr Jomo
Akalita Ali, to Jordan to check if he can get any of the deceased
relative to receive his allowance, he returned to me with this (News)
none of his family survived in this incident! Which none of the
company member is aware visit !

Seeing it as opportunity, we told the company that we found the father
but he is an alphabet, so he promised to appoint a representative.

All you will need to do is to stay in the country where you are, and
communicate with the company as the appointed person and provide
account where this $USD 1.2Million shall be transfer to.

There is no risk on this at all,this will be his last payment meaning
that once this money is paid to you, his file will be closed forever.

I need your full name ..................and your private
phone.................to enable me tell you the next thing to do.

The company is waiting to hear from the appointed person for this.

I will give you 30% me and my assistant will take 70% .

Thanks
Regards
Amed Kimtinga.
