"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!

You Are Advised To Stop Contacting Them.

I am Mrs. SHAHENAZ ALIBHAI, I am a Canadian citizen, 63 years Old. I
reside here in Toronto, Ontario. My residential address is as
follows.704-1200 DON MILLS ROAD,TORONTO,ONTARIO, M3B 3N8 Canada,
I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years
ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $45,000 while in the US,trying
to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents,
And I was directed to meet Barrister Genesis Williams who is the member of COMPENSATION
AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He
said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation
payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have
received my compensation funds of $3.500,000 (Three Million and Five Hundred Thousand
United States dollars) Moreover,Barrister Genesis Williams, showed me the full information of
those that are yet to receive their payments 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
funds, they are only making money out of you.
I will advise you to contact Barrister Genesis Williams
You have to contact him directly on this information below.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting
you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway
with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you
up till you have nothing.The only money I paid after I met Genesis Williams
was just $575usd for the paper works, take note of that.

( NOTE: TELLING YOU TO PAY FOR ANY DELIVERY OR COURIER CHARGE, THAT IS
ALL NOTHING BUT LIES, I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND
WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $575 FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE/ ENDORSEMENT
CHARGE AS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND YOUR PACKAGE CONTAINING YOUR
ATM CARD WILL BE REACHING YOU THROUGH THE GLOBAL
REGULAR MAIL SERVICE. )


As soon as you are able to contact Barrister Genesis provide him with your full details.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact
Genesis Williams so that he can help you to Deliver your fund instead
of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for
different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Remain Blessed.


Mrs. SHAHENAZ ALIBHAI
