"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!

Subject: STOP CONTACTING THEM.

Good day,

I am Mrs Joan Wilson, a United State Of American citizen, Am 63 years old. I am

one of those that took part in the compensation in United State many years ago

and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $26,500 while in the US, trying to

get my payment all to no avail. So I decided to travel over to United State with

all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the Federal Bureau of

Investigation Direct Lord Reuben is currently in United State and I contacted

him 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 have received my compensation funds of $5.9 Million United State

Dollars Moreover, Barrister Lord Reuben, showed me the full information of those

that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the

beneficiaries, and your email address, 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 Barrister Lord Reuben directly through the below

information.

Compensation Award Office.

Name: Barrister Lord Reuben
Email: barristerlordreuben80@gmail.com

only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Barrister Lord Rueben was just $320 for the

administrative
fee and paper work, take note of that.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
