"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!

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.

Authorization Letter.

I represent Best- Consulting.

My testimony: Working with Mr. Jones Brain (an honest USA Individual
who ones lived in Kentucky) throughout 2013 has been a wonderful
experience and a great plus to my life, I wish all American are like
that. It was quite unfortunate that their company was relocated to
Asia where my line of investment was not necessary.

Consequently, I would like to give you an overview of our services and
discuss with you the best plan to suit your time and need because our
work is designed not to interfere with your daily business. On that
note, speaking with you on phone would allow us to fully evaluate
ourselves. Be rest assured that you will be wonderfully remunerated
for joining my organization on this less stressful investment.

Please let me know, at your earliest convenience, when you would be
available. I am available to talk with you any time this week or next.

Send me your full address and phone number so that i can forward
prospectus in a comprehensive format for your perusal. Our line of
business is Estate developing, all you are required to do is receive
money from us and purchase a house on our behalf. You either live in
one of our purchased apartment or we pay for your monthly House rent
as our foreign partner.

Let me know your mind and take on this ASAP.
