"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: compensation for all your past efforts

Hello

How are you doing today? I guess it had been a long time since our last
communication. Anyway, Iâ€™m contacting you again concerning our previous
transaction which was not completed successfully with you. It was
unfortunate that your partnership with me failed to complete the fund's
transfer. I donâ€™t know, maybe due to much pressure, you're
forced to loss interest in the transaction.

In any case, I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting the fund
transferred under the co-operation of the new partner from Venezuela. I 'm
presently in Venezuela for investment. However, I didn't forget your past
efforts and attempts to assist me in
transferring the fund, despite the fact that we couldn't reach a specified
conclusion. In appreciation of your effort to assist me, I and my new
partner resolved to compensate you with $350,000.00 So that you can
experience the joy and happiness with us.

I left your compensation visa card with my secretary so that she will
assist me to send it to you. Now, contact my secretary in Togo, her name is
Mrs Naomi Culer and her email
is:(culernaomi120@gmail.com).Tell her to send you an ATM visa card worth
$350,000.00. At the moment, I am very busy here in Venezuela because of the
investment projects which I and the new partner are having at hand. Get in
touch with Mrs Naomi Culer, quickly; tell her where to send your
compensation visa card to you. She will send the
card to you without any delay. I wish you good luck in all your
endeavours.

Kind Regards
Charkes Yewon
