"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!

Good Morning.

Compliments of the day and best wishes. My names are Berrnad Otti. an erstwhile staff of the Liquidators appointed by the Court of Luxembourg in the liquidation and payment of dividends to the creditors of the defunct Bank of Credit and Commerce International SA UK (BCCI in compulsory Liquidation) In the course of the tour of my duty from 2004 -2015 when the final dividends where paid to the claims beneficiary, I was privy to information of an unclaimed dividend payment of $48m whose beneficiary is deceased and all effort to locate the Next of Kin proved abortive.Which is the crux of the matter, why i wish to crave your indulgence for us to work together towards a mutual and financial relationship that will be beneficial to both parties when consummated in the actualization of the dividend payment to you as a proxy beneficiary.In this regards, there's no risk factor involved in this deal speaking from an insider perspective as i have the wherewithal to ensure a smooth!
conclusion of the deal.

What is only required of you for the deal to be sealed is viz:
(1) Your Identification document and bank account details where the funds will be paid into.

The information will only be used to file for the dividend claims as the appointed proxy beneficiary of the payment, details of which i will be obliged to disclose to you once we are in tandem to work together for the success of the business.
I propose that, the funds when transferred will be shared on a 70/30 % basis, and i will advise in due course how my share will be disbursed.
.
Please feel free to ask any question for further clarification.
Hoping to hear from you.

Best Regards,
Berrnad Otti.
