"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: BUSINESS PROPOSAL

Good Day,

I am Martin Peter, Operational Risk Control Manager and Member of the UBS Group Executive Board. I am looking for an International Business Partner to work with me in a financial transaction as during the recent auditing of bank accounts and services of our bank; I discovered non-resident bank accounts which have not been operated for a long time, which belongs to a late a business mogul who was a victim of a Plane crash on 7th June, 2012 resulting to his death and his family members. Until now, nobody knows about his bank account with UBS Investment Bank. This account holds £ 22.3 GBP (Twenty Two Million, Three Hundred Thousand GBP Sterling only) and I would like you to indicate your interest so you can stand as the "Foreign Beneficiary". But I will count on your sense of secrecy and confidentiality, in order to avoid risky exposure, considering the sensitivity and magnitude of this project. If interested, kindly send your reply to my private email address (mr.martin.peter@gmail.com). view below link on your knowledge about late Mr Ron Bramlage ( http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/jun/08/bramlage-family-parish-grappling-loss/ )

I am anxiously looking forward to your urgent response.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Mr. Martin Peter
Operational Risk Control Manager
UBS Investment Bank, London
