"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!

I discovered an abandoned sum of (Twenty million

five hundred thousand pounds) in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer Late Ost

Bob who unfortunately lost his life in the plane

crash, including his wife and only daughter.

The choice of contacting you is aroused from the

geographical nature of where you live,

transaction.and the confidentiality herein.

Now our bank has been waiting for any of the
relatives to come-up for the claim but nobody has

done that.I personally has been unsuccessful in

locating the relatives for 2 years now, I seek

your consent to present you as the next of kin,
and Beneficiary to the deceased so that the

proceeds of this account valued will be can be

paid to you.

This will be disbursed or shared in these

percentages,50% to me and 45% to you while 5% will

be for expensis. I have secured all necessary

legal documents that can be used to back up this

claim we are making.

All i need is to fill in your names to the
documents and legalize it in the court here to

prove you as the legitimate beneficiary. All I

require now is your honest Co-

operation,Confidentiality and Trust to enable us

see this transaction through.

I guarantee you that this will be executed under a

legitimate arrangement that will protect you from

any breach of the law.
Please,provide me the following: as we have 5 days

to run it through.
this is very very URGENT PLEASE.

1. Full Name

to contact you hoping that you will find this

proposal interesting.

keep me waiting.
