"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: I write to inform you that at last, all has been a SUCCESS

Good day!

I could not get connected to you on phone, I decided to send this email.
Bearing in mind the staunch commitment that you have made to see that the
fund was sent to you for claim as arranged but it did not happen then, I
still feel that you needed to be remembered now that all is done.

I write to inform you that at last, all has been a SUCCESS. I have
succeeded, the money has been wired into the account provided by a
Romanian investor in Alaska. And, all parties have received their shares
of the fund.

Since, I could not reach you before I travelled, so, to compensate you for
your past efforts and inconveniences, I raised a BLOCKED deposit (Tenored)
with your own share instructing that you should be handed over the fund as
I am not around. The Bank of Investment according to their regulations
stated that you need to come in person to sign the tenor severance and
maturity documents for the transfer but I told him that it might not be
possible for you to travel down. They asked for reputable individual to
represent you with a Letter of Authorization from you.

Based on this, I contacted the Senior Pastor of my Church (Rev. A.E Abah)
of First Africa Baptist. My pastor, Rev. A. E Abah is well informed on
this. Contact and liaise with him to receive your fund. His email is:
memooficial1@gmail.com

Presently, I am in Bolivar where, in partnership with a core investor in
the Mining Sector of their economy, we are investing in the industry. At
times, I will be in the site and the Internet does not work there only
when I am in the city.

There is communication problem in the Mining site in the undulating
highlands village in Cuchilla la Terrodoma district, because of the remote
and rugged terrain of the location from the Country mainland. And our woes
are compounded by the Bolivarian government obnoxious strict regulations
in their Telecommunication sector. It takes months to get approval for use
of Satellite phone gadgets here.

Remain blessed in the Lord, contact Rev. A. E Abah on his email:
