"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!

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirm-able Bank Draft of $10.500.000.0 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you for a couple of Months now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to its expiring date, and one Dr.Wilson Fred, the Director Bank of Africa told me that your bank draft would
be expired before it gets to you at your destination due to the expiring date written on it.So
I told him to convert the bank draft to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a one Month Course and I won't be back till the end of september 2017. So what you have to do now is to contact the GLOBAL TRUST COURIER SERVICE COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium, etc.

The only money you will send to the GLOBAL TRUST COURIER SERVICE COMPANY to deliver your Consignment directly to your postal Address in your country is ($68.00 USD) U.S Dollars only being for the Security Keeping Fee of your consignment. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $68.00 US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of deamur-rage.Contact them now and ask them where and whom to send the security keeping fee of $68 dollars.
