"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: I AM MSS. MARIA CYNDY SUSAN,
CONTACT THE COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE FOR YOUR FUND

I Am MS. MARIA CYNDY SUSAN, I am a US citizen, 57years Old. I reside here in Spring City, Pennsylvania. My residential address is as follows. 3663 Schuylkill Rd# 1, Spring City, Pennsylvania, United States, am thinking of relocating since I'm now rich. I'm one of those that took part in the Compensation in Troy Illinois many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $52,000.00 United State Dollars while in the United States trying to get my payment all to no avail. You can also view the following website: http://www.uncc.ch/


I decided to travel to the UNITED NATION (U.N) Head Office at UNITED NATIONS COMPENSATION COMMISSION (UNCC) Secretariat Villa la Pelouse Palais des Nations 8-12 Avenue de la Paix 1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland,you can also view they website: http://www.uncc.ch/, And the United Nation.(U.N) directed me to Barrister here in United State, Barrister Johnson Wilson, who is among the member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through Africa are fake because the Inheritance/Compensation Law clearly states that the beneficiary/recipient is exempt from receiving said fund from Africa.Barrister Johnson Wilson took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I'm the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $5,500,000.00 (Five million five hundred thousand dollars).

Moreover, Barrister Johnson Wilson showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name and email address as one of the beneficiaries 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 Johnson Wilson 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 until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Barrister Johnson Wilson was just $685 for the processing of all documents that back up your funds and also understand that they will not be any charges again from any one or individual and you will receive your fund in any means you want your fund to get to you with in 24hrs of processing your documents, take note of that.

(NOTE: TELLING YOU TO PAY FOR ANY FEE OR CHARGE IS ALL NOTHING BUT LIES, I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $685 FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DOCUMENTS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT.)

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Johnson Wilson so that he can help you to process your funds instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction and you can also get back to me so that I will always guard and direct you through my e-mail address:(mariacyndsusan83@aol.com)
