"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 make this introduction based on my regard for your credibility. My name is
Engr. Sacramento Bandeira. I work with the Sao Tome and Principe national
petroleum agency.

To be precise, I oversee the issuance of oil allocation license for our oil
company. My position in the agency entitles me to recommend oil allocation
bidders and actualize oil lifting and exploration allocation licenses to my
candidates based on my interest. I also oversea and approve the
issuance of the license for oil allocation in our company and also monitor the
lifting procedures in our company.

In June 2007, I facilitated and actualized the license of a candidate. A
business man from Korea (Comprehensive details to be provided
subsequently).The license was for 1 year at 24 million BBLS/12 months.
Incidentally the candidate was no more The license has been valid till date
(as I always ensure that I keep to my side of the bargain),
I have decided to begin using the license from MAY

2016. I am in need of a partner from your country whom I can trust. I will
package this partner as the allocation license beneficiary and assign the
license to this partner. Due to my position in the petroleum agency, I cannot
handle this position. Your profile fits into the criteria of a partner I need
This is why I am contacting you.

With the trend of events in Sao Tome and Principe, we shall be
able to lift a minimum of 300,000 barrels of BLCO per month. This will
fetch us an average of US$28 million per month. And we have from MAY 2016 up
until MAY 2017 to lift crude oil which will fetch us approximately (12) x (28)
Million dollars. Which is approximately 336 Million dollars for the rest of
the time of the License allocation.

I have ready buyers who are waiting and would be ready to
scramble for any number of barrels we lift. Also I will oversee all lifting
procedures with the available mercenary around.
This is what I propose:

1. Your company profile shall be used in place of the initial license
Operator. This I shall handle with my capacity in the company.

2.I will ensure that your company`s profile is recognized as the current
license operator and that we have a mandate for at least minimum of 300,000
barrels per month, a maximum of 500,000 barrels per month. Starting from MAY.


3. I will ensure that all lifting procedures are in place and buyers readily
available to purchase the product.

4. You shall stand in as the license operator for all lifting and sales
transactions; we shall open an account for the receipt of the oil sale
proceeds in which both of us shall be signatories to the account or you can
provide your personal or company bank account to receive the payments
on our behalf.

5. We shall split the oil sale proceeds in the ratio of 60:40 equity
shares. I shall be entitled to 60% share while your company shall be
entitled to 40% share. Please note: no third party arrangement shall
be allowed.
I believe you are a man of wisdom and intelligence.

This offer I make to you is based on utmost good faith. I could be
Jeopardizing my position in the agency if a word of this goes out.

Therefore without mincing words, I rely on you for utmost confidentiality on
every bit of detail relating to this transaction. Please reply this email
strictly at engr.sacramentobandeirappvrt23@gmail.com

I am in London on official duties at the moment waiting for your response.
Upon your positive response, I will be willing to forward to you proof of my
proposition and my personal identity. Also I shall fly back to Sao Tome and
Principe and from there we shall commence operations. I shall also provide
you details of the former

license operator and a copy of the license issued to him for the lifting of
crude oil in our company which I personally approved and endorsed. Also
procedures for license reassignment and actualizing the rest of the project
shall be provided to you Please in response to this email, quote the reference
