"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!

Greeting Friend.

My name Mrs. Amina Thomson, I am the sectary to the committee on African
union dept reconciliation commission.
Reference the website below for confirmation

AUDRC in partnership with Swiss Bank is charged with the responsibility
of finding bank accounts in Africa and Swiss, belonging to non-African
indigenes, which have remained Dormant,

It may interest you to know that In January 13 2005, the African Banker's
Association and Swiss bankers association published a list of dormant
accounts originally opened by non-African citizens. These accounts had
been dormant since the 2000

The continuing efforts of the African Union dept Reconciliation
Commission (AUDRC) have since resulted in the discovery of additional
dormant accounts since 2000

The published lists contain all types of dormant accounts, interest
bearing savings accounts, securities accounts, safe deposit boxes, custody
accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts including some
deserted funds which were not transfer to the appropriate designated bank
accounts.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all claims on
accounts due non-African citizens.
NEUMANN ECKSTEIN with a Credit balance of 8,000,000 US dollar plus
accumulated interest was discovered by me.

The beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era leaving no WILL and
No possible records for trace of heirs. The Claims Resolution Tribunal
Has been mandated to report all unclaimed Money for permanent closure of
Accounts and transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of
African Union (AU) as provided by the law for management of assets
Of deceased beneficiaries who died interstate (living no wills).

Many people who have full records of their relatives bank details have
Successfully claimed their inheritance and paid in full. List of
Claimants who have been paid are listed on the website for verification.
Visit the website below to see the list of claimants
Who have been paid, in our corresponding bank (Swiss)

http://www.crt-ii.org/_awards/index.phtm


Being an executive member at (AUDRC), I have all secret details and
necessary contacts for claim of the money without any PROBLEM.
we can share the money and use in investment of our choice.


Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a foreigner to HELP claim
The money as the beneficiary. All that is required is for you to
provide me your details for processing of the necessary legal, and
administrative claim documents for transfer of the money to you.

Provide me with your full name, address, and telephone/fax. The money
Will be transferred to a secure account in your name, because you will
Be acting as the next of kin to the deceased person that can claim the
Money with claim documents in your name, and you can now start accessing
the money and transferring to your country and other banks of choice in
the world.

My share will be 60 percent and your share is 40 percent of the total
amount. THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED.

You can find additional information about unclaimed Money through the
internet at the following websites: www.swissbankclaims.com ,
http://www.crt-ii.org/contact_us.phtm

The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has allocated the money for
payment to the beneficiary awaiting submission of valid claims for
necessary
Disbursement.

I find myself privileged to have this information and this is a great
opportunity for a life time of success without risks.

Due to security reasons, reply to my private email,so that I will tell
you more on how we will achieve this.

Yours Trully.
Mrs. Amina Thomson
