"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!

Subject: IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO YOU..

Good day,

I am Ms Morris Sarah, a US citizen, Am 45 years old. I am

one of those people that took part in receiving Inheritance

funds and Lottery funds from European banks even from many

lottery organizers few years ago and they refused to pay

me, I had paid different fees while in the United States

trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery

organizers but all to no avail. So I decided to travel to

Nigeria with all my compensation documents, and I was

directed by the IMF Director to contact the reconciliatory

Attorney Edward Solomon who is an attorney, A British

citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF

COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently working with IMF in

the Nigeria and I contacted him and he explained everything

to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are

fake. Bar Larry Jones personally directed me on how to

claim my Inheritance or Lottery payment.


Right now I have received my compensation funds of

$1,500,000.00 Moreover, Attorney Edward Solomon as he is a

very religious man with the fear of God. He showed me the

full information of those that are yet to receive their

Inheritance or Lottery payment and I saw your name as one

of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I

decided to email you to stop dealing with those people,

they are not with your fund, they are only making money out

of you.



I will personally advise you to contact Attorney Edward

Solomon, he will assist you.
