"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!

Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs Connie Dutton, I am a US citizen, 51 years Old. I reside

here in Silver Springs Florida. My residential address is as

follows. 7008 E Hwy 326 Silver Springs Florida 34488, United

States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of

those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago

and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$20,000 while in the

US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation

documents, AS I was been directed by the ( F B I) Director to

contact and meet JAMES PARKER, who is a member of COMPENSATION

AWARD COMMITTEE and representative of the FBI in Africa, so I

contacted JAMES PARKER and he explained everything to me. He said

whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.


He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation

payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I

have received my compensation funds of $7 Million US Dollars

Moreover, JAMES PARKER, showed me the full information of those

that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email address

as one of the beneficiaries, that is why I decided to email you to

stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they

are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact

JAMES PARKER
