419 Scam – "NEWCASTLE LOTTERY (BAFANA YUSUF)"

"NEWCASTLE LOTTERY (BAFANA YUSUF)" is a fake lottery run by a gang in South Africa. The criminals try to get victims to wire US$ 720 to South Africa by MoneyGram.

Send us any replies by "claims agents", especially money demands and payment instructions, we will publish them here.

Please forward copies of fraud emails to the abuse department of the webmail address listed as the contact email for the "claims agent" and ask for the address to be suspended because it is used in a 419 fraud (see 419 FAQ).
