"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: Hello friend

Hello friend,

I want to share with you my testimony on how i got my BLANK ATM
card which has changed my life today. I was once living on the
street where by things were so hard for me, even to pay off my
bills was very difficult, i had to packed off my apartment and
start sleeping on the street of Vegas.
I tried all i could to secure a job but to no avail because i was
from the black side of America.

So i decided to browse through on my phone for jobs online where
i got an advert on Hackers advertising a Blank ATM card which can
be used to hack any ATM Machine all over the world, i never
thought this could be real because most adverts on the internet
are based on fraud, so i decided to give it a try and see where
it will lead me to if it can change my life for good.

I contacted the hackers and they told me they are from Australia
and also they have branches all over the world in which they use
in developing their ATM CARDS, this is real and not a scam it
really works. To cut the story short these men who were geeks and
also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution they
taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM
Machine with a Blank ATM card. I applied for the Blank ATM card
and it was delivered to me within 3 days and i did as i was told
to and today my life has changed from a streetwalker to my house,
there is no ATM MACHINES this BLANK ATM CARD CANNOT penetrate
into it because it has been programmed with various tools and
software before it will be sent to you.

My life has really changed and i want to share this to the world,
this is a smart way of living Big because the government cannot
help us so we have to help ourselves.
If you also want this BLANK ATM CARD then contact the Hackers via
the email below, and your life will be changed.
