"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!

Good day Friend,

I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable
business proposal, I got your e-mail address

numbered time ( fixed) deposit for twelve

calendar months, Valued at US $ 12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million United State
Dollars in my branch upon maturity. I

sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.

Most astonishing of my discovery was that, all records bear no next of
kin, meaning no member of Senator.Willem

Witteveen, family knows about the deposit therefore, no member of his
family will ever come forward to claim the

money, In order for the bank not to transfer the said sum of Twelve
Million United State Dollars ($

12,000,000.00) as unclaimed funds to the emirates treasury account, the
above stated funds most be claimed

immediately by somebody standing in as late Willem Witteveen. Next of Kin,
because According to (UNITED ARAB

EMIRATES LAW), at the expiration of (5) Five years; the money will revert
to the ownership of the (UNITED ARAB

EMIRATES) Government if nobody applies to claim the fund, This revelation
is only known to me because I was his

personal account officer before I was posted to become the branch manager,
now I seek your collaboration to act

as next of kin to late Senator.Willem Witteveen, to claim the funds and
move them into useful
investments.

We shall split the cash between our self upon the confirmation of the
money into your account, I am ready to

offer you 35% of the total fund and 60% for me while 5% will be set aside
