"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!

这辆车的特异之处是在挡风玻璃后中央有个大铁环，可以把房客的一只手铐在上面，我和秃头出去时就是这样的；还有一个特异之处在于房客的座位比驾驶座矮很多，秃头坐在我身边，比我矮了半个头，他东张西望，嘴里哼着一支不知所云的歌
