419 Scam Example: "UNIVERSAIN LOTTO INTERNATIONAL / UNITRUST TRUST AGENCY / MR.KELVIN COMA"

"UNIVERSAIN LOTTO INTERNATIONAL / UNITRUST TRUST AGENCY / MR.KELVIN COMA" are labels used by a gang for a fake lottery fraud (advance fee fraud, "419") based in the Netherlands.

The object of the scam is to get the "prize winner" to pay US$595 in upfront charges to supposedly enable the payout of the non-existent prize. Any money sent to the criminals is lost. All the phone numbers used are Dutch mobile phones (+31 6xx), all email addresses are free webmail accounts.

Please forward us any replies from the criminals, especially money demands and payment instructions that you may have received from this gang.
