"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!

One Late Peter, a citizen of your country had a fixed deposit with my bank in 2005 for 108 calendar months, valued at about US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million United State Dollars) the due date for this deposit contract was last 22nd of January 2015. Sadly Peter was among the death victims in the May 27 2006 Earthquake disaster in Indonesia that claimed over 5,000 life's. He was in Indonesia for a business trip and that was how he met his end. My bank management is yet to know about his death till date, I knew about it because he was my friend and we had spoken on phone when he arrived Indonesia for his usual business trip. I was his personal account officer who transferred funds to his business partners overseas.
