"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!

Ahoj,

Dobrý den

Se vší úctou, jmenuji se pan Simon Lee Jsem hlavní financní úredník paní Meng Wanzhouové (Huawei Finance Chief) Kdo byl neoprávnene zadržen v Kanade za Bogus a smešné poplatky kvuli obchodnímu sporu, který práve probíhá s USA -Cína.

Proto se muj šéf rozhodl presunout všechny své prostredky ze svého sporicího úctu v Kanade, a proto bychom vám rádi tyto peníze poslali na investicní úcely a úschovu ve vaší zemi. Cím se živíte? Budou fondy bezpecné? Jaké máte investicní nápady?

Muj šéf by rád investoval do dobrého obchodu nebo nemovitostí ve vaší zemi. Celkem vám bude zasláno celkem 8 milionu dolaru kanadských dolaru, což je približne 6 milionu amerických dolaru nebo 5,3 milionu EUR.

Prosím, dejte mi vedet, jestli to zvládnete? Pokud mi mužete poslat své kontaktní údaje soukromý e-mail, soukromé císlo bunky a co je císlo aplikace atd. Peníze jsou 100% legální. Pro prenos a vaši pomoc však vyžadujeme nejvyšší duvernost. Nechceme, aby byla zapojena tretí strana. Rozumíš? Tešíme se na jednání od vás.

 

S pozdravem,

 

Pane Simon Lee
