"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!

TEL: +2347033559603

Your Unclaimed Fund,

Firstly, I wish to introduce myself as a sympathizer of your situation. We are the Comptroller of Fund Movement Terminal and Director of Statutory Department of Inter Banks Credit Commission. My Department is affilliated to FSA, UN, WORLD BANK, W.A.F. Our Liaison Desk is situated at the West African Terminal 122 of Union Bank Of Nigeria Plc and in Asia at the RESERVE BANK OF AUSTRALIA ,European Terminal at the DUTCH AUCTION SYSTEM with head office in the New York City attached to the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, which oversees and inspects the fund movement pre-inspection for Central Bank Of Nigeria and other related ECOWAS member states. Me and my colleagues MR. STEVEN FLOYD THOMASSON from Northlake, Illinois USA. He is in charge of the West African Terminal. My name is MR. HORST HIETER HAENSGEN from Queensland, Australia. In view of my position as introduced and explained above, I have this priviledged information for you out of sympathy to save your fund from a big pro
blem, which will ruin your fund p

THE BACKGROUND OF THIS REASONS It may interest you to know that fund transfer irregularities and misconduct of huge sums of money out of Nigeria during the Military administration of the late General Sani Abacha has created suspicions on any movement of large amount, which is to be routed through Nigeria. For this reason, the new House of Government under the leadership of Senator David MARK (New Senate President) has formed a committee on Finance/Economic matters. This Committee was mandated to deliberate on all fund movement above $5,000,000.00 USD and also to recover all suspected funds.Consequently, our organization has been mandated to assist to monitor all fund movement out of Nigeria. Since our establishment, the sum of $18 billion dollars has so far been recovered. We execute the pre-investigative formalities and all statutory requirements around the world. The purpose is to monitor, pre-inspect, recommend or defer your fund movement or seizure of the fund at your ba
nk or on transit or cable. Fortun

Therefore, this letter is highly confidential and top secret. For this reason, you must not inform anybody about this letter or my contact with you. You must keep my relationship with you to be topped secret and highly confidential. If you can follow my advice and guidance, I will inform you the only way out for the dispatch of your fund peacefully without any seizure by either your bank or the US Monitoring Agencies to know. But if you ignore my advice, your fund movement by bank transfer will surely hit a brick wall and you will keep spending money and time with energy and without any success until you forfeit the whole amount, which will be deferred at that time for a seizure when the Monitoring Unit will adopt the motion for seizure. The September 11th 2001 bombing of the WTC in USA has compelled a strict monitoring and checks on all huge sums of money around the globe.For this reason, the security Network in USA has requested us here in Nigeria to investigate your fund,
which has been routed for transfe

1. The real source of your fund.
2. Your funds background on Foreign Bills of entries.

In pursuit of that, I discovered so many anomalies, which may create the security network for seizure of your fund. And your bank may start asking, which may even put the bank into a big problem for suspicions by the USA Security Network as a bank that keeps Terrorist fund.I am writing this letter out of sympathy and I am willing to assist you and avoid any danger to the successful conclusion. In order for me to help you, the following are my conditions:

1. You must keep my relationship with you highly secret/confidential.
2. You must not expose all the above information to anybody..
3. You must be willing to act fast on any information, directives and advice from me.

But if you expose this information, I will be compelled to do the right report and in that case, you will blame yourself. The method for you to receive this fund is by cash at your doorstep, which I and MR. STEVEN FLOYD THOMASSON will deliver to you at your address..

Further details on this arrangement will be furnished to you as soon as I have received your comments to carry on. By then, I will be in a good position to explain to you more on how to carry out the mission.

As soon as I receive your response, First i will scan and send you my united nations diplomatic passport and I will give you more on the way of such arrangements and I will also inform you our percentage that you will be required to give us as soon as we have handed over the fund to you at your address.
Therefore, further details will be furnished to you and my identity will be forwarded to you as soon as I receive your reply.

Yours Sincerely,
MR. Horst Hieter Haensgen
