"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!

Attn: Esteem Beneficiary.



This is officially informing you that THE UNITED NATIONS COMPENSATION COMMISSION and WORLD BANK-GROUP have authorized me to contact you base on your

compensation amount.After an extensive close door meeting between the Board of Directors of the UNITED NATIONS and WORLD BANK-GROUP. The United Nations,

World Bank-Group and International Monetary Fund have agreed to compensate you with the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($1.5 Million)

after your name and email was submitted by the Internet International Monitoring Group during the UNCC Conference Meeting which was held in Bab Ighli,

Marrakech, Morocco from 7-18 November 2016,We are also aware that a lot of foreigners have been deceived and huge amounts of money have been stolen from

them by Internet Fraudsters around the World.


Six categories of claims were set up: Claims from individuals forced around the World between the invasion and the cease fire, Terrorist Attacks,

Earthquakes, Internet Fraudsters (Category A);Claims from individuals who (or whose family) suffered injuries or Death as a result of the invasion (B);

Claims from individuals for business losses, pain and anguish, property damage etc.

Each claim category had specific dates for initiating the claim and providing required evidence. A total of over $352.5 billion in claims was submitted in

2,686,131 claims. Of these claims, 1,543,619 (57%) resulted in some sort of award. The total awarded, to be paid by Iraq/Iran and Kuwait!|s oil revenues,

was just over $52.4 billion. The UNCC adopted a policy of paying individuals first, with the result that the remaining sum is owed entirely to a government

entity, specifically the state oil companies of Iraq/Iran and Kuwait
