"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!

State and federal authorities decided against indicting *HSBC* in a
money-laundering case over concerns that criminal charges could jeopardize
one of the worldâ€™s largest banks and ultimately destabilize the global
financial system.

Instead, HSBC announced on Tuesday that it had agreed to a record $1.92
billion settlement with authorities. The bank, which is based in Britain,
faces accusations that it transferred billions of dollars for nations like
Africa, European, Arab Country, Asian Country and American Fraud cartels to
move money illegally through its American subsidiaries.

The authorities debated for months to the advantages of the Public, the
authorities have requested HSBC Bank to pay $ 890,000.00 US Dollars to
every individual around the world as compensation payment.

You are requested to contact Standard Remit Bank on This Email:

Bank to Bank transfer to your Bank without any delay.

Mr. Stuart Gulliver,
