"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: RE: REPLY.


Greetings Most Esteemed Partner,

I am sorry for replying you late due to our very busy schedule here up north of Afghanistan trying combating with the ISIS that are killing innocent civilians also I want to say thank you for your kind response to my mail and your willingness in assisting me in receiving these boxes for safekeeping. I want to assure you that this deal is 100% risk free on both side provided it is handled with the maturity it deserve. Before we precede let me explain the origin of these funds and why I'm sending them to you. During our war campaign in Iraq my team was responsible for a lot of raids on Saddam (Iraqi former president) palaces and while on one of such raids we discovered the sum of $140 Million dollars packed into military trunk boxes and hidden in Saddam's underground secret chambers.

As a soldier my first instinct was to report all to my commanding officer but on a second thought I decided to declare $100 Million and used my position at the moment to hide $40 Million and after a while when pressure have calm down after it has been announced on BBC, CNN and others that $100 M dollars was discovered in Saddam’s chamber that was when my mind rest and then I knew that I have succeeded.
Due to the risky nature of our mission here and that we are about to move to Afghanistan at that time on terror mission I was lucky to ran on a diplomatic courier agency here called (Erinys security services) which is purely diplomatic courier agency I was able to hand over the boxes to them but I declared to them that the contents are gifts which I have collected on every mission i went on, and because of our strict military engagement there is no way I could ship them anywhere therefore they should keep them under there custody until am able to reach any of my relative for delivery and safekeeping which I am presenting you now as my cousin so that the boxes would be delivered to you.

I know you might be wandering how I got your information for this, well I am a level six holder and I have access to the Department of Defense Database (DOD) data base, and I believe I can trust you. With that, I must assure you that you will benefit very well and you will never regret assisting me, but on the other hand you MUST be very careful never to expose this deal otherwise we would both be in serious trouble. Apart from any carelessness from your side, I have already made solid plans to ensure that this deal is 100% untraceable. Your efforts and assistance will be rewarded with 30% of the money if you are able to handle this deal and keep the boxes safe until I return from this war front in August 2016. but if I didn’t come back my spirit will be peaceful wherever I am if you invest this money in a lucrative business to better the life of many.

Let me tell you little about myself , My names are Capt Casey Thoreen, In the past few years I have married three times but non of those marriages lasted due to the nature of my job. My 16 year old son took to drugs as he lacked parental guidance and eventually died of overdose as a matter of fact I can’t begin to mention all my sacrifices and losses but know that glory of America is built on our pain and blood this is why I decided to use this opportunity to make some fortune for myself since the funds belonged to AN EX- TYRANT WHOM WE CAPTURED AND HAS BEEN EXECUTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE.

My dear it is good you know all this so that you will not have fear or biasness of mind in accepting to receive these boxes which contain US$40 Million dollars. like I said you will be well compensated in the end I have made provision of giving you 30% of this money and due to the fact that the director of the diplomatic agent explained to me very well the possibility of getting these boxes through airport without any problem on both side, HE SAID VIVIDLY THAT THEY WILL USE THERE VETO POWER AS A DIPLOMATIC AGENCY TO BRING THE CONSIGNMENT INTO ANY AIRPORT THAT HAS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY AS CONFERRED ON THEM BY THE UNITED NATIONS BUT THAT THE RECEIVER WILL HAVE TO SEND THEIR AGENT WHO ACCOMPANIED THESE BOXES MONEY WHEN THEY ARRIVE YOUR COUNTRY TO ENABLE THEM SETTLE THE CUSTOMS AT THE AIRPORT TO RETRIEVE THESE BOXES FROM THE CUSTOM SAFELY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND DELIVERED TO YOUR HANDS PEACEFULLY.

Please if you have fully read and understand the position of this arrangement and have agreed with all the terms as I have explained, kindly contact the director of the diplomatic agency Diplomat Ray Scot for further explanation on how to get this boxes to you.

His Email is: directorrayscot@diplomats.com
rayscot@diplomats.com



The reason it is like this is that I am at the war front right now and you know what that means that I will not have time or the opportunity of anything else that is why I bestow totally all the responsibility of getting these boxes to you and it’s safe keep based on trust , utmost sincerity , honesty and the strict ethics of business for the betterment of both of us even if I die in this war make sure that you invest this money and use large sum of it for charity every year to better the life of less privileged people around the world whom ordinarily suppose to be the benefactors of this funds.

Please always remember me in your prayers that I return peacefully to be happy with you.
Thanks in Anticipated Co-operation and Understanding
