"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!

Notification Of Your Compensation Fund!!

Your payment files from two (2) different banks, National Bank of
Kenya and JPMorgan Chase Bank were compiled and submitted to my desk
this morning for review. The total sum owed to you by the two banks
mentioned above was sum up to the tune of $9,500,000.00 USD (Nine
Million Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
Now the fund has been totally lodged in one particular Escrow account
(non deductible) here in the Bank Of America Charlotte, North Carolina
on your name, while waiting for accreditation to your personal bank
account in any part of the world.

Meanwhile, after due scrutiny and verification, I confirmed that you
have fulfilled all the necessary obligations that will enable the
release of your payment to you, but yet your payment was not released
to you due to one flimsy excuses or the other from the Bank officials
in charge of your payment, because they had the intention of diverting
your funds to their private accounts in order to satisfy their selfish
interest. You are however lucky that the management of the Bank Of
America detected their evil plans and therefore called for the
submission of your payment file to us so we can personally handle the
payment assignment to ensure that you receive your funds accordingly.
Now, all modalities regarding your fund release has been put in place
here in the Bank Of America System, thus, your funds has been made
ready for transfer in our sophisticated macro transfer system, what we
need from you now is to provide to us your full name, country and
address, so we can expedite action for the accreditation of your
funds.

Note: If you prefer to receive your funds in the form of a Visa Card,
we could load and ship your Visa Card to your address which will
permit you
a daily withdrawal limit of US$5000. As this matter is urgent, I look
forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve your banking needs.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Brian Moynihan (CEO)
