"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: IMPORTANT MESSAGE TODAY!!!

GOOD DAY.

I am Ms. Jullian Kendrick, a US citizen, Am 43 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 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 and lottery organizers but all to no avail. So I

decided to travel to LONDON, UK with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the IMF Director to contact the

reconciliator Mr Robert Baron who is also an attorney, A London citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF COMPENSATION

AWARD COMMITTEE currently working with IMF in the United Kingdom and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He

said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.Mr Robert Baron personally directed me on how to claim my Inheritance or

Lottery payment.

Right now I have received my compensation funds of $6,500,000.00(six million five hundred thousand dollars) Moreover,Mr Robert

Baron , 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 Mr Robert Baron, he will assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of God.

Compensation Award Office.

Name:Mr Robert Baron

Email: r_baron3@aol.com

Listed below are the name of fraudsters and banks behind the non release of your funds that I managed to sneak out for your kind

perusal.

1) Mr. James B. Comey Jr
2) Ms. Carman L. Lapointe
3) Mrs. Sherry Williams
4) Mr. Dan Rochas (I.M.F)
5) Mrs. Tanner Williams
6 Mr.Ibrahim Lamorde
7) Mr Thomas Jayce

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your funds is with them, it is not in

anyway with them and they are only taking advantage of you which means they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only

money I paid after I met Mr Robert Baron
was just $250 for the delivery and shipment charges, take note of that.

NOTE: TELLING YOU TO PAY FOR ANY DELIVERY OR COURIER CHARGE IS ALL NOTHING BUT LIES, I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL

HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $250 FOR THE DELIVERY CHARGES AS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT ON YOUR PACKAGE.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Mr Robert Baron with those liars that will be turning you around

asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction and any one who sends you any email of this kind after this please

do not reply because they are all liars.

Thank You and Remain Blessed.
Sincerely,
Ms. Jullian Kendrick.
