"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!

Dear,

I am Martin Brown Head Audit and Contract Payment with the above ministry office
london with due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During the course of auditing last month, I discovered an over-invoiced floating fund
£9.5Million GB Pounds being part of operational cost for last contract on System-of-Systems Integrator (SOSI) role on the Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) program but was not used by the previous board.

The new Board of Directors of the Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] has given my office the go ahead for compilation of all debts we owe all contractors that participated in the System-of-Systems Integrator (SOSI) instalations nationwide, so I want to present you as
a contractor that has done service for the corporation now seeking payment.

Once I receive your favorable response, I will now advice you on modalities to
follow for us to claim the fund. Note that the confidence and trust repose on you can not be over-emphasized so dear you are to keep this project to yourself, if you really want us to succeed.

Am looking forward to your urgent response upon receipt of this email and enclose your
mobile number for easy Communication. and reply at mbpartner1@hotmail.co.uk

Best Regards,
Mr Martin Brown
Head Audit and Contract Payment
