"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:

Following negotiations and new agreements reached by the International Partnership and settlements committee and the newly elected President of USA, President Donald J. Trump (45th),we have been instructed by the Financial Regulatory Commission to provide you a last minute opportunity to process and fully claim your $480,000 payment direct to your receiver Bank Account or otherwise have your file closed/terminated permanently, if you fail to respond.There will be no other opportunity after this and you are strictly advised to discontinue any association with any other body,agent,or local department claiming to process your payments.

All power of disbursement has been streamlined to our office for faster response.

Now straight down to facts,We discovered that the reason why you experienced many false assistance as well as continuous delays, was because your file was been handled
secretly without the necessary notarization and public notification by a sitting senior advocate of the Federal High Court.Have you bothered to ask yourself, why your payment, which is your right and after documentation,is still been denied and yet you are not been attended to even with all efforts on your part?

The solution is simply because you have not shown face in person/black and white to get first hand information from the payment office, all beneficiaries who took the
pain to visit in person got every penny owed them.Also these people in the payment departments are not magicians,they know some beneficiaries are now dead, or are not
willing to travel, and since your payment has been in secrecy,so many hands are coming behind closed doors taking advantage of your distance to offer you help which
never yields fruit.There has even been cases of un-authorized people claiming to be beneficiaries and trying to divert their claims so physical presence is important.

However The solution for those who cannot travel down is very simple and straight forward, you need to reply to us immediately with necessary proof of identity as well
as $475 subscription fee for a 30-working day, W 268mm by H 100mm classified advert space booking in three national newspapers (notary section with online and offline traffic of over 2.5
million daily visitors) stating specifically that you have been cleared and have met full requirements and therefore qualify for payment.This advert will also be
displayed OPENLY on the public service announcement points at the federal High Courts for a period of 30 working days.

This will ensure that all departments,parastatals, and Government representatives as well as the general public are fully informed that you are ready for payment, it
can no longer be denied, it is no longer a secret, and nobody can come to ask you for $1 extra afterwards,either behind closed doors,or repeatedly.If the world knows
you have been approved for settlement,no payment department can claim ignorance.

You are required to submit the following as soon as possible for this advert procedure:

1. Full Color Scan of your International passport data page.
2. Scan copy of utility Bill (electricity, water or telephone bill not more than 3 months old)
3. $475 for 30 day advert space booking in 3 national newspapers that will ensure you are known to all the departments at the same time publicly without any further
hidden details.

If you are really serious to get solutions, here it is.

Contact Barr Gregory P. Mitchell immediately so you can discuss this thoroughly with him.
