"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!

YOUR ATTENTION NEEDED NOW

I got your pathetic Payment File and i want to assure you that the ugly

days are over and whatever you counted or regarded as a lost battle

will be regained in hundred fold,as far as you believe in the

lord,Amen.

Right away,due to so many unscrupulous elements parading themselves

here and there as officers in position of your payment, while they are

not, and this has warranted we the authorized officers to appoint an

AMERICAN FINANCIAL EXPERT to Proceed down to Africa and release your

delayed Funds under THE WEST AFRICAN FOREIGN PAYMENT

MONITORING/RELEASE COMMITTEE for an immediate release of these funds

into your account.

Thus, this will require you to furnish my office with your Full

complete receiving Bank Details, including your passport, your direct

receiving Mobile phone and state how long you have been striving to

retrieve your payment without success? specify how many years you

have been into this ,that is when and at what date you started this

Transaction(project).

As it will help us a lot in getting more fact(s) about this delayed

payment which ought to be paid to you as the rightful beneficiary of

the fund hence it is not good to rob peter to pay Paul. what is good

for the gander is also good for the goose.

So am really expecting the requested information and upon the receipt

of it further information will be made available to you.

With My best wishes,

Briain pirkens
