"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!

My name is Mr. Emma Mann; I work with the Claims Dept,United Nations
Compensation Commission, United Kingdom. I am in charge of your
unclaimed Five Million US Dollars that was meant to be paid out to you
since last year.Its a pity that due to certain reasons, we were unable
to have the payment procession completed last year but there is a good
news for you, today! I was just going to find out from you if you have
been contact by the Debt Reconciliation Dept,United Kingdom, as they
have been trying to get across to you on the phone previously by one of
our staff. As I was meant to understand, they are having all outstanding
bills settled within the first quarter of this year so I had to contact
you because I have your name in the list of the unclaimed files and they
will do a direct wire into your account so all you need to do is ;

687(1991)

suffered as a direct result of Iraq’s
