"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!

Dear Friend,

I am aware of all the problems you have passed through in trying to get your funds from the bank officials without success, right now I have been promoted as the new payment officer and as a result I possess executive powers to release your funds without delay or any upfront fees.

But before I can do this,you must be willing to part with 30% of the whole fund worth USD 14.996 MILLION and you must follow the bank rules and regulations accordingly by visiting the bank payment center to sign the fund release order as the beneficiary before the bank can transfer the fund to your bank account, because the Bank insists that you must come in person to sign the fund release Order If this is OK by you,then respond via email with the needful information's.

I will need your valid international passport and Your Nearest Airport with your current contact details address, whatsapp phone number, Occupation for the transfer processing. The Bank will be responsible for your flight cost going and returning back to your home country. The Bank will also pay for both your hotel reservation and your flight ticket to the Bank

For us to proceed with the processing and booking of your flight ticket and hotel reservation we may need the following below. Contact my private Email: info.federalministryfinance@ financier.com Drop me your whatsapp number for easy communication.

1, Your Copy Of International Passport
2, Your residence address reconfirmation
3, Your direct whatsapp/telephone number for easy communication .

May God's blessing remain with you.

Best Regards,
Dr. Gerrard Dennis
Credit And Financial Dept.
