"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!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Dr.Andrew Vellu, (Audits) Kutxa Bank Madird, Spain (Auditing and
Accounting Department) and the Private Banking Investment Account officer of
LATE Mr. Jean-Louis Pereau, who is the President/Chief Executive Officer
of Falcon Engineering Services France. Herein referred as my customer.

On the 2nd, of September 1998 at: 11:16 p.m. EDT (0316 GMT ,Swissair
Jetliner, with 229 passengers on board bound from New York JFK to Geneva,
Switzerland, crashed catastrophically off the coast of Nova Scotia vanishes
from radar near Nova Scotia Halifax, my deceased client Mr. Jean-Louis Pereau,
and his wife Mrs. Clelia Pereau with their three children Joelle Pereau,
Sylvie Pereau and Yves Pereau were involved in a horrific flight crash, 215
passengers and 14 crew members unfortunately lost their lives in the
disastrous crash of Swissair Flight 111. May their gentle souls rest in
glorious peace Amen.

Subsequently I encompass numerous enquiries to locate any of my customers
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
numerous unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you to forward your
particulars for claim; hence I contacted you as the NEXT of KIN to my
LATE client. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating his chattels
and capital value amounted to US$40,000,000.00 (Forty Million United
States Dollars), which his account has been dormant since 1998 and
has accumulated interest with Kutxa Bank.

I consequently request your maximum assistance and approvals to facilitate
the clearance of my LATE client's chattels and capital value before they
get confiscated or enthusiastically declared unserviceable by the
authorities and Kutxa Bank , where these huge funds were deposited.

However, the International finance organization has issued me a final
notice to present his family NEXT of KIN for claim or have the
consignment confiscated. Therefore, on receipt of your encouraging
response, we shall discuss the compulsory modalities. I have all
permissible indispensable instruments for your claim. Note that you will
be entitled to 35% of the total inheritance while 5% will be set aside
for any unexpected expenditure and 60% for me and my colleagues.

In conclusion, I will appoint the assistance of a legal practitioner to
prepare the last WILL of testament notarized for claim in your favour, your
assistance is exceedingly obligatory in order to accomplish this entire
transaction and I guarantee that this operation will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of law.
