"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!

Hello Friend,

I got your e-mail address contact through your country's Information
Exchange On line while browsing and after that, I
decided to contact you to ask for your

assistance in this urgent matter that requires trust, confidentiality

My name is Mr kong kea senior Manager of Kookmin Bank of Cambodia ( KB)
Asia Banking Corporation Limited Asia. I am 48
years old woman, married

with three children. I have a very urgent, confidential and profitable
business for both of us Valued at $US$10,700,000.00
Million (Ten Million,seven Hundred Thousand United States dollars)

This fund is an excess of what my branch in which I am the senior manager
made as profit last year. I have already
submitted an approved End of the Year 2016

report to my Head Office and they will never know of this Excess. I have
since then, placed this amount of $US
$10,700,000.00 (Ten Million,seven Hundred Thousand United States dollars)
on a SUSPENSE SECURITY without a beneficiary.

As a senior Manager of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this
money thus I am impelled to request for your
assistance to receive this money as the

beneficiary of the funds. If we could do this together, we shall share
these funds 50/50 between us accordingly and this
transaction is 100% risk free, as

no-risk involved in this and this is going to be a direct transaction. All
I need from you is to stand as the original
depositor of this fund.

If interested, please write back for more information, while I shall
explain more in details as soon as I got a response
from you if you are interested.

Thanks for your kind understanding, awaiting your response!
Best Regards,
