"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!

INSTRUCTION TO TRANSFER YOUR APPROVED PENDING FUND.
Attention Beneficiary,

This is to inform you of very important information which will be of
great help to redeem you from all the difficulties you have been
experiencing in getting your long overdue payment valued at
$5,700.000.00 due to excessive demand for money from you by both
corrupt Bank officials and Courier Companies after which your fund
remains unpaid to you.

I am Mr. DAVID LIPTON, a highly placed official of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF). It may interest you to know that reports have
reached our office by so many correspondences on the uneasy way which
people like you are treated by Various Banks and Courier Companies/
Diplomat across Europe to Africa and Asia/London UK and we have
decided to put a stop to that and that is why I was appointed to
handle the transfer of your fund here in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

All Governmental and Non-Governmental prostates, NGOs, Finance
Companies, Banks, Security Companies, and Courier companies that have
been in contact with you of late have been instructed to back up from
your transaction and you have been advised NOT to respond to them
anymore since the IMF is now directly in charge of your payment.

The most annoying thing is that the bad officials won't tell you the
truth that on no account will they ever release the fund to you,
instead, they allow you to spend money unnecessarily, NOTE: I do not
intend to work here all the days of my life. You are to respond to
this e-mail at (david_mna@outlook.com
) as quickly as possible.
