"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: THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR FUNDS.

I am Mr. Eric Franklin Rosser. a computer scientist working with Bank Of America ( B.O.A). I just started work with B.O.A and I came across your file which was marked X and your released disk painted RED in the archive, and i took my time to study it and found out that your file has been due for payment since febraury 2016.


And the most annoying thing is that they won't tell you the truth that on no account will they ever release the funds to you, instead they allow you spend money unnecessarily. I do not intend to work here all the days of my life, and as a good christian that i am ,i can assure you that i will help you release this funds to you ,but only on one condition,you must certify me of my security because i do not want to loose my job.


I needed to do this because you need to know the status of your Funds and cause of the delay. Please this is like a Mafia scam that is rampant in united states and you may not understand it ,because you are a novice in this aspect. The only thing needed to release this funds .You must acquire the Anti_Drug Terorrist certificate which will be transferred to any of your nominated bank for clearance of the supposed amount that will be transferred to your preferred bank account.


And as soon as this Anti_Drug Terorrist certificate is obtained, your funds will immediately REMITTED into your bank account within 24hours at most.And like i said the ANTI DRUG TERRORIST CERTIFICATE is all that is needed to complete this transfer.


NOTE: That the actual funds are valued at $3.5 MILLION DOLLARS and the Government made a compensation campaign team to released all unpaid beneficiary that are due for payment release,valued at $3.5 MILLION DOLLAR.
