"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!

Attn: Beneficiary

With due respect I contacted you last week regarding your winning fund
but you never listened to me rather you were communicating with
fraudsters. Have you received any cent of your fund since then? You
should stop your communication with criminals and receive your US$10.5
Million this new week.

You have to stop communicating with criminals and receive your funds
from JP Morgan Chase Bank . You should forward your postal address, Cell
Number and ID Copy immediately and more directives will be communicated
to you later after your response. You have to comply or else your
winning fund will be cancelled.

Thanks

Congratulations.

Mr. Jamie Dimon.

Member of Operating Committee of JP Morgan
