"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!

Hello.

I am Pornsanong Tuchinda, the Managing Director of Bank of Ayudhya
Thailand. I know you're probably very busy, but I just wanted to make sure
you got my email.

As I wrote in my previous email, in regard to our bank late customer a
citizen of your country, who died in car accident along with his family on
Sep 22, 2009, and left behind his account balance of $15,600,000

I need your consent to present you to our Bank as the closest living
relative/heir to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be
paid to you before it will be declared unclaimed funds.

At the successful transfer of the funds, we shall share it on a pro rata
basis [50% - 50%]. I am compelled to do this because I don't want the
Government to take over the ownership of the deceased money. Please make
sure that you keep this project confidential, do not discuss it with
anybody because of the sensitive nature of this transaction and my work.

If you are interested and in agreement with me, get back to me quickly and
I will send to you all the information you may need to proceed without
coming to the Bank, and be rest assured that it is risk free project.

I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Pornsanong Tuchinda
