"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!

From: "CONNIE STANNARD" (may be fake)
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2021 19:37:58 -0700
Subject: YOU ARE ADVISED TO STOP CONTACTING THEM!!!

Hello there...

I am Mrs CONNIE STANNARD, a US citizen, 49 years Old. I reside here in 3663 Schuylkill Rd# 1, Spring City, Pennsylvania, United States. I'm thinking of relocating since i have now been paid. I am one of those that took part in the last years MICROSOFT CORPORATION/MICROSOFT FOUNDATION Convid 19 relief Compensation in Troy Illinois but it was a great deal in getting paid...I had paid over $52,500 while in the United States trying to get my payment but all to no avail.

I decided to travel down to Troy, Illinois with all my compensation documents and I was directed to meet Dr. Kam Chung. He is among the members of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake because the Covid 19 relief/Compensation Law clearly states that the beneficiary/recipient is exempt from paying any out of pocket fees or charges to receive said funds. Dr. Kam Chung took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment... Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $ 1,195,000 (One million, one hundred and ninety five thousand dollars).

Moreover, Dr. Kam Chung showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name and email address as one of the beneficiaries that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your funds, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Dr. Kam Chung today for further enquiries and directions. You can contact him directly on the below informations;

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them. It is not in any way with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Dr. Kam Chung was just $1500 for the consultation/transaction charges. Take note of that!

(NOTE: TELLING YOU TO PAY FOR ANY DELIVERY OR COURIER CHARGES ARE ALL NOTHING BUT LIES. I REPEAT, THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $1500 FOR THE CONSULTATION/TRANSACTION CHARGES WHICH IS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT ON ALL BENEFICIARIES... YOUR PACKAGE CONTAINING YOUR CERTIFIED BANK DRAFT CHEQUE WILL BE REACHING YOU THROUGH THE EXPRESS COURIER SERVICE).


Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Dr. Kam Chung today so that he can help you to deliver your funds instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kinds of money to complete your transaction.


Yours truly,
Mrs Connie Stannard.
