"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!

Subject: FUNDS COMPENSATION CLAIMS

My name is Mrs. Omelu Jenetta Hollis the Permanent Representative and
Associate Banker to the United Nations Compensation Commission, based
on information provided by the Protocol and Liaison Service during the
United Nations Board members meeting it was discovered that sum of
$57,000,000.00 United States Dollars was Legally accrued to your name
as the Bonafide Beneficiary.


This found was awarded to you from United Nation Commission
Compensation which was created in 1991 as a subsidiary organ of the
United Nations Security Council under Security Council resolution 687
(1991) to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damage
suffered as a direct result of Iraq’s unlawful invasion and occupation
of Kuwait in 1990-91.


About 2.7 million claims, with an asserted value of $352.5 billion,
were filed with the Commission. The Commission concluded
claims-processing in 2005, and the total compensation awarded was
$52.4 billion to approximately 1.5 million successful claimants.
Nineteen Panels of Commissioners reviewed and evaluated the claims
submitted by governments, international organizations, companies, and
individuals. The panels reported their recommendations to the
Governing Council for approval.


To date, the Commission had paid out about $47.8 billion in
compensation awards to successful claimants. There remains only one
claim that has not been paid in full, with a balance of about $4.6
billion outstanding. This claim was for production and sales losses as
a result of damages to Kuwait’s oil field assets and represents the
largest award by the Commission’s Governing Council.

disbursement of this fund by the United Nations Board members and
