"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!

Good day

My name is Caroline Rabin; I work with the Audit Department Of a Bank
here in my country; I would need your consent to present you as the Next
Of Kin to our late customer who died of heart attack in 2016. He was a
wealthy businessman who deposited USD$108,230,702.00 in our Bank. He
died without any registered Next Of Kin as he was long divorced and had
no child.

I got your email contact from the internet directory in my search for
any name or individual I will present as the Next Of Kin or Foreign
Business Associate in order to claim the funds, therefore I contacted
you. You don't need to be a business man/woman, your status is not what
is needed rather your proof to claim the funds which I am here to assist
you.

I was his Account Officer and have in my possession all the documents
required to present you as his Next Of Kin or Foreign Business
Associate. We can work together to claim this fund. Please listen, this
is real and goes on in Banks all over the world without people knowing
anything about it. Let us utilize this opportunity because it does not
always come. A lot of customers open private accounts with different
Banks without the knowledge of their families and when they die, such
money will be lost to the Bank unless someone comes to claim it. This is
how a lot of Bank Directors make so much money silently.

On your confirmation of this message and indicating your interest, I
will furnish you with more details. Please endeavor to provide me with
Your Full Name; Phone Number so that we can discuss in detail.

Yours Sincerely.
Mrs. Caroline Rabin
