"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!

indicated your right to apply for the Official Government Waiver to waive all fees, charges and documentations requested

from you before the final transfer of your approved fund.

In review of this obligation, under the rights and privileges you have as a beneficiary, you are immediately advised to

apply for a waiver on whatever obligations delaying the final release of your fund so that it will be waived for the

immediate and final transfer of your overdue fund as approved under the World Bank Payment Auditors supervision. And have

your fund be released and transferred to you through the Federal Government of Nigeria Excess Crude Oil Account in our

custody.

This decision has been taken by the World Bank Payment Auditors in Conjunction with the Senate Committee on debt

reconciliation and you are advised to comply with this decision as soon as possible towards the release of your funds to you
