"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!

under paragraph 6, which state clearly that under no circumstance will a
huge amount above $1m be remitted to overseas account without GNAB. And such

main reason why the fund has not gotten to your bank for many years.

Therefore the bank board and other top officials are demanding for these
government non assessment bonds (GNAB) belonging to our client which is you,
otherwise there will be a problem, meanwhile the house has promised them
that the Gnab will be forwarded by our client. Which is necessary for record
purposes.

assessment bonds (GNAB) which is $120 only to make sure that no government
monitor or agent can access the fund during the delivery remittance. You
have to get the GNAB written on your name and stamped before the fund credit
