"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!

I want to quickly seek your partnership in good faith; I will be brief
but
precise.

A certain pending payment meant for one Mr. Joseph Pasquale have gained
approval by the Ministry of Finance but I cant seem to get hold of him
to
receive this payment. All effort to reach him returns no response. I
tried
to make small inquiry with his social security number (117 46 4754) and
to
my surprise, and every indication is that he is now deceased. Please if
there is a way you can confirm this please do and let me know the
outcome
... His particulars are below:

JOSEPH PASQUALE
3411 RETSOF RD, PIFFARD, NY 14533
585-967-0728

SSN: 117 46 4754
DOB: 07-28-1954

The Presidency have ordered that all outstanding payments be offset
out-rightly and from the look of things, this payment will be unpaid by
the
time we leave office because this is my very last tenure and the
presidential election is forthcoming. Let me hit the nail at the head
... I
have fast tracked the payment processing to "ghost beneficiary" but
placed
a hold on the fund delivery in the custody of a diplomatic envoy for
onward
delivery as per my directives.

All payment delivery protocols fully executed smoothly as at this point
only if you can guarantee me of your capability to receive this fund on
my
behalf and in less than a week today, my representative will meet with
you
in person for further disbursement ( I don't mind 60% for myself while
the
rest goes to you ).

I only need your permission and if I receive your affirmation response
to
go ahead today then you will hear from the delivery envoy within 24
hours
as they are waiting for my final instruction on the final destination of
payment. I am holding on so that I will process the Fund Release
Authorization and Proof of Ownership Certificate in your name and we are
done. Forward as indicated below, your delivery details:

1. First Name on ID :

2. Last Name / Surname :
...................................................

3. Date of birth : ...................................................

4. Identification No :
...................................................

5. Address : ...................................................

6. City : ...................................................

7. State : ...................................................

8. Zip Code : ....................................................

9. Phone Number : ...................................................

I am still a government serving personnel and wont hesitate to follow
your
candid advice on what to invest on. I have confidence that you can
handle
an investment of this magnitude and I will send my personal assistant to
come and meet with you for disbursement once you take full delivery.

Your immediate response will be highly appreciated as I hope to round
this
up before we conduct this forthcoming election.

Yours sincerely,

Sen. Ahmad Rufai Sani
