"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

RE: INCOMING FUND SIGNAL FROM OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY UNDER THE DIRECT INSTRUCTION OF UNITED NATION, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND AND US DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY AS SIGNED BY FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.

Very Urgent Attention,

Be informed that we have received legal notification through our INTERNATIONAL FUND MONOTORING NETWORK that your fund and its details are to be release to you through certified bank transfer and we have confirmed it OK even before the report of its verification and immediate issuance of the Clearance.

Following the information reaching us from our BANKERS AND SECURITY COMMITTEE, we discovered that your fund is not finally delivered as you expected due to your in ability to fulfill the legal obligation as requested by Mallam Robert RB, Chairman and Presidential Payment Verification Panel (PPVP) for immediate delivery of your already approved fund valued.

Based on our verifications and satisfactions, we have issued out the necessary clearance for a smooth and guaranteed transfer of your fund waiting for confirmation signal which we have just received from Mallam Robert RB, Chairman Presidential Payment Verification Panel (PPVP). Direct Email: (mallamdadarobert@gmail.com)Direct Number:(+2349023949765), so proceed immediately to contact him for your FUND TRANSFER CODE, to enable US Department of Treasury credit your account immediately, since it is the only thing pending immediate transfer of your fund.

You are therefore, advised to immediately contact the representative of the Presidential Payment Verification Panel (Mallam Robert RB) Direct Email: (mallamdadarobert@gmail.com) while you urgently call him on his direct number for proper conversation (+2349023949765) who only have good knowledge about your pending fund and find out the exact means of receiving your FUND TRANSFER CODE since it is what is holding back the final crediting of your already approved fund as we have given the necessary clearance.

Keep us posted after fulfilling their only procedure and your failure to adhere to their finalization process in less than 48 bank working hours from the time of this official gazette, we will not hesitate to sign the fund cancellation form.
