"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!

Attention Lucky Beneficiary

We the FBI at the ANTI-TERRORIST AND MONETARY CRIMES

DIVISION would like
to bring to your notice that your email address has won you the total
ransom of $3.5,000,000 ($3.5 Million USD) from the United Nations
Organizations (UNO) due to the uncontrollable fraudulent activities

which
has gone viral in the United State Of America and the World at large.

Your email address was discovered from some scammers caught in

West Africa
part by the FBI. Due to this reason the Secretary General of the

United
Nations Ban Ki-moon and the President of the FBI James Comey

after a
conference meeting decided to compensate the rightful owners of

those
emails with the sum of $3.5 million each which they believe are

scam
victims or might have illegally sent money through one means or the

order
and your email address was among the group of emails that was

discovered.
This is the sole reason why we are in contact with you to direct and
instruct you on how to get your Compensation Funds Award

delivered at your
doorstep peacefully.

However the National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the

United
Nations have successfully passed a mandate to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to boost these exercise of clearing all foreign debts

owned
to you and other individuals and organizations who have been found

not to
have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling, Inheritance and
Compensation Funds Award worth the sum of $3.5 Million USD.

Furthermore, this is how you can receive your Compensation Funds

Award
worth the sum of $3.5 Million USD by an ATM Debit Master Card

issued
directly from The "PACIFIC WEST BANK OF AMERICA.

ATM Debit Mater Card: The PACIFIC WEST BANK OF AMERICA will

be issuing you
an ATM Debit Master Card with a maximum daily witdrawal of

$10,000 per day
at any ATM machine that has the Master Card Logo on it, and the

card has
to be renewed within four(4) years time which is 2020. Also with the

ATM
Debit Mater Card you will be able to transfer Money into your local

bank
account. The ATM card comes with a handbook manual to enlighten

you on how
to make use of it. You can get this ATM card even if you do not have

a
bank account because an account have been created on your behalf

at the
PACIFIC WEST BANK OF AMERICA where your $3.5 Million USD has

been
deposited.

Regarding to the delivery of your ATM CARD, we have signed a

contract with
new legalized Shipping Company the CARGO LOGISTIC Delivery

Company and the
contract should expire in next three weeks which means you can loss

your
funds if you fail to comply within these three (3) working weeks. But
before the CARGO LOGISTIC Delivery Diplomats can leave for your

doorstep
you will only need to pay for their Delivery fee for your ATM CARD

to be
delivered at your home which is only $445.00 U.S Dollars instead of

paying
the normal $560. You are hereby saving $115 Dollars if you pay

before the
three weeks of April/May 2016. Take note that anyone asking you

for some
kind of money above the usual fee is definitely an impostor and you

will
have to stop communication with every other person if you have

been in
contact with any because this is the only funds you have out here

pending
and should be delivered to you without experiencing much delay.

Note: Every order Bills and Taxes has been taken care of by The

United
Nation and the United State FBI, so the CARGO LOGISTIC delivery

fee is all
you will ever have to pay which is $445 USA Dollars only. Do not

send
money to anyone until you read this and have heard from me. The

actual
fees for shipping your ATM card is $560 dollars but because CARGO

LOGISTIC
does not operate with the C.O.D method which gives you the chance

to pay
when package is delivered, so for international shipping We had to

sign a
contract with them for bulk shipping of the ten U.N assigned lucky
beneficiaries, which makes the fee reduced from the actual fee of

$560 to
$445 nothing more and no hidden fees of any sort!

Below are few list of tracking numbers you can track from the

(CARGO
LOGISTIC) Website (http://clce.ca/). To confirm the three

beneficiaries
like you who have received their payment successfully.
