"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!

greetings from varal consultancy Dubai, this just a brief notification
pending when you responded positively before i and you could plan
ahead what to do next. A man from Germany made a deposit of five
pallets under our company for the past five years now and our rules
and regulation stipulated that any family belonging deposited after
three without moving it out from our custody the company has the right
to involve the government , then on sunday being 27 of febuary 2022,
we tried to open one of the pallet which contained five boxes we
discovered that the content inside was black papers and i know about
it too well but the funny thing there is this; my fellow staff does
not know the meaning of black papers.

For your information incase you doesn't know about it too, all is
coated money it was coloured in black colours for security reasons, i
deceived my officials that this a wasted product that was the reason
why the family forget about it. now i needed an urgent response from
you in case we can handle it together, listen i will present you as
the family members.

further information have to be discussed on how to move forward.please
do not call me directly but kindly send what's app messages for
security reasons.

God bless us.

regards,

Mr Gwada Sikumar.
