"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!

COMMITTEE ON LOCAL AND FOREIGN DEBTS

THRU: External Debt Reconciliation Task Force

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 as I will be handing over to the newly elected senator in charge of this committee. 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 the UOB Group Delivery 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 hand over to the new officers in-charge.

Yours sincerely,

Sen. Ahmad Rufai Sani
