"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!

Subject: CONTACT BARRISTER JAMES DANIEL FOR YOUR PENDING FUNDS

Good Day,

I am Mrs.Melinda Suzanne Malovoz, a US citizen, Am 35 years old. I am
one of those people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds and
Lottery funds from European

banks even from many lottery organizers,Atm card and Compensation
funds etc few years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid
different fees while in the United

States trying to get my funds from those banks,ATM CARD And
Compenation and lottery organizers but all to no avail. So I decided
to travel to West Afrian Nigeria,

with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the IMF
Director to contact the reconciliator Barrister Samuel Allen who is
also an attorney, A USA citizen

and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE
currently working with IMF in the WEST NIGERIA and I contacted him and
he explained everything to

me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.
Barrister James Daniel personally directed me on how to claim my
Inheritance or Lottery payment.

Right now I have received my compensation funds of $2,000.000.000
Moreover, Barrister James Daniel, showed me the full information of
those that are yet to receive

their Inheritance or Lottery payment and I saw your name as one of the
beneficiaries, and your email address, 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 personally advise you to contact Barrister James Daniel, he
will assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of God.
