"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!

Great News, You are advised to Stop Contacting them..........


I am Mrs. CYNDY BANKS , I am a US citizen, 42 years Old. I reside here
in Spring City, Pennsylvania. I am thinking of relocating since I am
now rich. I am 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 while in the United States trying to get my payment all to no
avail. I decided to travel down to Troy Illinois with all my
compensation documents and i was directed to meet Mr. James Rolanda
(Director, Federal Reserve Bank, New York) he is the chairman of the
COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, I contacted him and he explained
everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are
fake because the Inheritance/Compensation Law clearly states that the
beneficiary/recipient is exempt from paying any out of pocket fees or
charges to receive said full payment.

Mr.James Roland took me to the paying bank for the claim of my
Compensation payment. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth
because I have received my compensation funds of $9,500,000.00 (nine
million five hundred thousand dollars).

Moreover, Mr. James Rolanda 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
Mr.James Rolanda 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 James
Rolanda was just $650 for the delivery charges, take note of that.


(NOTE: I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO
PAID IS $650 FOR THE DELIVERY CHARGES IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND
YOUR PACKAGE CONTAINING YOUR CERTIFIED BANK DRAFT CHEQUE OR ATM CARD
WILL BE REACHING YOU THROUGH THE EXPRESS COURIER SERVICE).
The only informations you will send to Mr James Rolanda are:

You're to send more details bellow

(1) Full names
(2) Date of Birth
(3) Occupation
(4) Complete Home Address
(5) City and also Apartment Address

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact
Mr.James ROlanda so that he can help you to deliver your funds instead
of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for
different kind of money to complete your transaction.
