"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!

The reason we need to get this last documents is for your own protections and it is a standing mandatory rules since April 2015 that any funds you are transferring out of any BANK in the world must have FSA clearance before you start using the fund or you will be allow to make transfer out of your account. so therefore it is on your own benefit that we get this documents and the fee we asking you to send covers the the registrations of your name and procurement of the FSA clearance that is the main reason why i traveled all the way from United Arab Emirates to China to assist you in completing this task myself so that your fund will be cleared legally and 100% you will be able to receive your fund immediately within 24 hours after you send the fees, then we will be able to finish the job and proceed to your city to hand over all the withdrawal tools.

I want you to understand that reason why i have not sent you all the documents attached to this transaction is because of internet hackers, i will not because i want to satisfy your wish and tarnish my image if they stole the documents to con you of your money,I will not send the documents to you now because we are coming down to your city to make sure we meet with you and hand over all the withdrawal items to you and all the supportive documents because it will not be wise for you to be receiving funds without you having an evidence of proof of funds original copies which is our main reason of coming down to your country to meet and deliver this documents and more especially the (CD ROMS) this (CD ROMS) is the upgraded copies of the latest version of (FINACLE 15) meaning that there is nobody in this world that will ever hack into your system or the upgraded website,
 
 
the log in page of the bank is changed in the CD ROMS and all the link and current number and your account officers number and your user id and password on the same account is in the same (CD ROMS) so this type of vital documents must be delivered to you face to face not via DHL courier service or email, so for your own interest make sure you send the fee now to the Money Changer in USA because of Chinese New Year Holidays the chinese receive was on vacation she would not be able to receive any money sent to China, so use the Name of the money changer i gave you which is united states citizen.
