"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "affidavit of claim" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "affidavit " (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "accredited attorney" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

SECURITY REPORT ON YOUR TRANSFERRED FUND

Having complied with your letter dated 19TH JULY, 2010. I write in my capacity as the Director of Credit Control & Wire Transfer Department to inform you that the HM TREAUSRY DEPARTMENT yesterday issued a Stop Order Advise via our Key Tested Telex Department to the CAPITAL BANK PLC advising them to place a Hold on NEVZLIN LEONID BORISOVICH’S Account and charge him for fraudulent act.

Based on the outcome of the investigation that was conducted by the above bank confirms that the FUNDS previously transferred to NEVZLIN LEONID BORISOVICH’S Account have been successfully returned via Telegraphic Swift Transfer to (CAPITAL BANK PLC ) our Institution while NEVZLIN LEONID BORISOVICH’S Account have been placed under investigation as it was that he collaborated with some officials to have your funds diverted .
.
Furthermore, due to the fraudulent attempt made on your unpaid fund, the Board of Directors of the CAPITAL BANK PLC called for an emergency meeting in that regards. Find below the decision made and approved by the Board of Directors of this Institution.

(1.) The Board has decided base on the above controversy that you’ll physically visit the bank for questioning and signing of all related documentation relating to your recovered funds, also the payee bank have agreed not to entertain any individual, representatives or lawyer to represent your interest apart from you the beneficiary, Whereby you can’t come in person, on your written instruction, the CAPITAL BANK PLC shall assign an accredited attorney to represent your legal interest and signing of your transfer documents.

(2.) The Board has decided that an affidavit of claim from the British justice department must be presented for the immediate release of the concern funds.

If this condition does not suit your comfort, the CAPITAL BANK PLC shall return funds back to the country of origin of funds as unclaimed deposit to avoid further controversies or paying the wrong client.
Lastly, from all indication and investigation carried out by our Investigating Team, we believe the reason why MR. NEVZLIN LEONID BORISOVICH’S was able to have your information was because you lack representation and the CAPITAL BANK PLC would not want to re-experience what previously happened. I advise you respond ASAP to enable me update the Board that you never authorize this changes
