"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: Partner with me!!

Hello,

I am Mr. David Harrison, I represent a top company executive in Singapore, I have a very sensitive and private brief from this top executive to ask for your partnership to re-profile funds over two hundred and fifty million American currency I will give the details, but in summary, the fund is from a holding bank in United State of America where we have a considerable stake. Presently we have established a profiling channel through our corresponding bank in Europe.

We need to present you/your Company as a management consultant to undertake and complete this re-profiling job. This is a legitimate transaction. I propose that you will be paid twenty eighty percent of this fund for your proposed “management consultation invoiced charges”, for your assistance to re-profile this funds appropriately, if I am able to reach terms with you.

If you are willing to render this assistance quietly, please write back by email and provide me with your confidential telephone number, email address and corporate profile and I will provide further details. Please keep this close to your chest as much as possible; we cannot afford any political problems with Kuwait Government. Whatever your decision, Write me back. I look forward to it.

Regards,
Mr. David Harrison.
