"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!

before this honorable Court Of Claims that you have received and confirmed your fund and we are here to hear the truth from you because your payment

file is intact with us and is still unclaimed.

HOWEVER, BELOW IS WHAT WE WANT YOU TO ANSWER US NOW TO ENABLE US HANDLE THIS CASE OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:
