"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!

Attention:.Sir/Ma,

I am Barrister George Morgan who practice in the Canada Government, I want
to use this opportunity to inform you on what is going on with your
contract file . Whenever I went to the Federal court in Canada, for this
case I asked if you were dead or alive, because each time I visit the court
your file always go from one table to another with one AUSTRALIA man who
has been trying to sign an agreement with the Fedail court that he is your
next of kin, please is true that he can be the sub-let beneficiary of your
funds? Because I left the Royal Bank Of Canada on last Friday he was having
a conclusion meeting with the general manager for the final approval of his
receiving the payment. If you are not the person that gave your consent for
the payment to be made to write to me immediate so that I can stop the
payment and revert it to you.

Please if you are still alive and want me to work with you,do get back to
me immediately for immediate cancellation of this Approval by Friday
because nothing is holding your contract payment as I have seen your
contract validation file you have concluded and paid all charges, so
nothing is holding your contract fund to be in your nominated account by
the paying bank. I must mention herein that that the value of the contract
is twenty-five million United States dollars (US$25,000,000.00)

I wait to hear from you if you .

Regards,

Barrister George Morgan
