"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!

Scammers.


Attn: My Dear,


I am Mrs. Nidia Marisela Juarez Bustamante,Am a single mother of two, am a US citizen, I reside here in Harlingen Texas. My residential address is as follows. 7901 W BUSINESS 83 LOT #1 HARLINGEN TEXAS 78552-0000, United States. am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Cotonou, Benin Republic many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$35,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail. So I decided to keep trusting God for a miracle because Almighty God never fails. One faithful morning, i received an email from Lasayeth Young of which he told me that he is the member of VALLEY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION & also a member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE in Alabama, USA, and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake from Africa are all fake.

He helped me to claim my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $3.5 Million US Dollars Moreover, Barrister Lasayeth Young, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your 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 fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister Lasayeth Young.

You have to contact her 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 Lasayeth Young was just US$350 for the paper works, take note of that. As soon as you contact him he will send you the payment information which you are to use in sending the payment to him in order for him to obtain the documents from the court of law there in Alabama so that your fund can be transfer to you without any delay just the way mine was being transfer to me.

Send him the following details if you know you are ready to have your FUNDS so that as soon as he receive your information he will send to you the payment details for sending him the $350 USD that is needed for him to get the document that is needed to make the transfer a successful one and that is that only payment i made to Barrister Lasayeth Young and he helped me in the transferring of my FUNDS and i must say that you have to contact him so that he will help you the way he helped me to Get my FUNDS without any further payment.

Fill out the information to him if you are ready to get your FUNDS

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Lasayeth Young 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 Be Blessed.
