"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!

Compliment of the season, Did you receive my message dated 17/12/2022? Are you still operating on this email Id? I am asking based on my previous message which is yet to be communicated back accordingly.
Thank you for finding time to this message, without taking much of your time, I am in need of your service in USA? I am contacting you with regards to your professional knowledge and experience in Real Estate Business management in the USA. I have gone through your company activities in USA and decided to share this project with you if there is a possibility of you handling it.
This is my second time contacting you, since I have not heard from you given the importance of my previous message as I made it clear, I decided to reconfirm to know if you did receive my previous email message. Considering that things are gradually coming back to normal after the terrible Pandemic which paralyzed the world activities, I decided to reach you once again, hoping that you will return my message at this time.
However, the project and business deal i wanted to share with you still stand but because of its sensitive nature, I don't have the intention of discussing it over the internet because of today's fraudulent, scam and fraud activities going on in the world today. Even though statistics has shown that a lot of individuals and companies are fraudsters but that doesn't mean that there are no trusted and honest people or company on the internet.  To be candid, I am very skeptical as I do not want to be a victim of these fraudulent activities by falling into the hands of wrong person(s) or company who may want to ruin my life after the projects must have been successfully concluded
Sincerely speaking, I will officially introduce myself to you and the location of where the gold and the fund are all at the moment, which will be communicated as well. Firstly, I will make available a platform where both of us shall have a video conversation to enable us to see each other after which I can provide all the needed means of my identifications.
In conclusion, all I want from you is confirmation of your readiness to partner with me and everything about me shall be provided accordingly. Be informed that after you must have gone through my detailed information's and confirm your readiness to proceed, I will send a copy of NDA Non-Disclose Agreement which will protect and assure that both of us involved in this deal will not share the origin of the fund and gold or even share any of my vital identifications to a third party for whatsoever reason. Agreement on the meeting location will also be agreed on while the next agreement will center on clarifying your benefits/commission for your assistance based on the actualization of this grand project. I will not also forget to notify you that this project is beyond email correspondence and phone conversation. Permit me to stop here while I await your response to my message and confirmation of your readiness for total compliance to my requests.  This is the beginning of a great thing ahead and that God that allowed us to cross parts will always protect and guide us.
We can commence conference video call on WhatsApp, Viber or Skype as we communicate so that i can the trust to send you some of the authentic and verified details of the products and the amount involved and the destination of both at the moment.
