"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: From U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Attention:

Best wishes to you and your family.

After the 2018 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund, the
United Nations and World Bank Group in Washington, D.C, The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security enhanced by the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have successfully
passed a mandate to the President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari to boost the
exercise of releasing all pending payments and compensate all scam victims
from Africa.

After an extensive close door meeting between the Nigeria President
Muhammadu Buhari, 9 Delegates from (AU Member States) African Union, the
U.S. Secretary of State Hon.Mike Pompeo, IMF Managing Director
Mrs.Christine Lagarde and United States Ambassador to Nigeria Mr.Stuart
Symington, It was resolved and agreed upon that the Anti Graft Agencies in
Nigeria The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will work
extensively hard to ensure that all outstanding Inheritance funds,
Contract funds and Lottery Winning prize funds and all scam victims will
be paid without any hitch and delay through the Bank of America and IMF
Insurance body.

Unfortunately, you are listed as one of the beneficiaries to receive their
payment and as a good citizen of our great nation, It's our prime duty to
serve and protect our citizens, we therefore wish to notify you
immediately to kindly contact the Anti-Corruption Agencies for the
immediate release of your funds.
