"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!

Truth About What You Want To Hear about your winning.... Respond As Soon As Possible.



Sometimes i do wonder if you are really, really with your senses. How could you keep trusting people and at the end you will loose your hard earned money, or are you being deceived by their big names, stories, sweet lies and fake swears telling that they have funds for you at Royal Bank of Scotland in New Delhi, India Branch that do not come from their mind? They impersonate on many offices, claiming to be Governors,Directors/Chairmen of one Office or the other.


Their game plan is only just to extort your hard earned money. Now, the question is how long will you continue to be deceived, suffer because of your honest mind that you have for them? Sometimes, they will issue you fake check, fake ATM card, introduce you to fake diplomatic delivery,UN-existing on-line banking and they will also fake wire transfer of Your fund with Payment Stop Order.

Anyway ,by the virtue of my position and my GOD Fearing mind as a man that have fear of GOD in me, I have been following this transaction also your phone conversations from inception and all your efforts towards realizing the fund. More often than not, I sit down and laugh at your ignorance and that of those who claim they are assisting you, it is very unfortunate that at the end you loose, and you will keep losing if you continue communicating with them and also if you follow my instruct you will never lose any more.


The real fact is that you have an existing Fund of $3.5 Million which was issued by the United States of America President which the Unite Nation also have approved it and the World Power United States have given the United States of America President to see that before the End of this year that all Fund owners get their Funds without any delay, failing to do that they will make sure there is war so their mind is now at rest and the President have given instructions.


Although, I don't blame you because you are not here in Washington, D.C. to witness the processing of your existing payment in Washington, D.C. The problem here is that you've never been told the whole truth about this your existing transaction and it is because of this truth they decided to extort you.


The most annoying part is even fraudsters have really taken advantage of this opportunity to enrich themselves at your expense, those you feel are assisting or working for you are your main problems.


I know the truth surrounding this payment and i am the only person who will deliver you from this long suffering if you will abide by my advice. Please i beseech you to stop pursuit of shadows and being deceived. Feel free to contact me immediately you receive this mail so that I can explain to you the mods-operand i guiding the release of your existing Payment. Do not panic or have fear for anything know you have gone through hell but time has come to reap.


Furthermore, all i need from you is trust, just give me the trust all your information is here with me, because i have work in UN office for over 18 years both in United States and UK and there is no means of receiving payment that cost anything except court affidavit of claim which i can ask you to go and confirm from any one whom knows much about this or you can ask a lawyer to confirm this which if the owner is not there in person, that's where you will be charge for the affidavit of claim which will not cost more than 667.00 USD only.


Like i need to tell you do not panic or have fear for anything know you have gone through hell but time has come to reap, because you have suffered so much and that's why i took this bold step to see that your dream come real, if only you can truth and follow my instructions and do not feel this is scam but see it as truth of the matter.


Like what i stated to you that there is no means of receiving payment that cost anything except court affidavit of claim if the owner which you is is not there in person that's where you will have to pay for the court affidavit of claim.


You will have to know that after this court affidavit of claim is paid for you will get your Fund without any delay, which you have 100% assurance.


You will have also chose method of your payment which we have 2 method only.

(1). Direct Bank Transfer.
(2). Bank Draft



In addition, all the fees they ask both transfer cost or delivering cost, clearance certificate known of them exist. If you really want us to proceed send me your direct contact or you ignore my letter if you are not interested.
