"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 day,

We need to inform you that Chase Bank, New York have instructed credited your account with the approved amount of US$10,500,000.00 Million United States Dollars only as instructed by Central Bank on payment a meeting was held last week concerning release of withheld and overdue payments to beneficiaries, both foreign and local contractors, inheritance claims and lottery winnings.

Further more the bank has demanded for Currency Transaction Report (CTR) as been requested by Holland security, IRS and FBI proving that fund has nothing to do with money laundry, drug, terrorist or other related offenses. On this point I have communicated with the insuring Authorities and they made me to understand that the requested documents will cost you the Sum of $399.99 hence it will pave way for the transmission of your fund to your account.

Be informed that Chase Bank cannot contact you based on the fact that you have not provided them with the transfer Currency Transaction Report as been requested by United States Department of Homeland Security, and Internal Revenue Service IRS proving that fund has nothing to do with money anti drugs/anti terrorist, certificate of ownership.

Meanwhile, I am in New York to clarify some issues with Chase Bank, in respect of your payment.
