"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!

Do not send money to anyone until you read this and have heard from me. The actual fees for shipping your ATM card is $586 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 contract with them for bulk shipping which makes the fee reduce from the actual fee of $586 to $400 nothing more and no hidden fees of any sort!
