"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!

Beneficiary Esteemed/

I want to make you understand something in life that you failed to
realize, I want you to have at the back of your mind that all this
while you have been dealing with fake people, claiming to be Western
Union/Money Gram and banks official, I have never slept a day without
being worried about your issue since I entered into this custody of
Ria Money Transfer. I have been keeping this as a secret, but I want
to open up to you at this very moment avoid Judgment day in the
present of Almighty God, do you really know what holding your payment
of $2,500,000.00 USDover and over, paying your earned money without
result is because of (AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT) look, I want you to do me
a favor by keep this issue secret.

For your sake just to be honest and integrity, I am praying day and
night towards this case, once i sight mine eyes on your contract
compensation award winner, you spend a lots yet no conclusion, I
believed that God use someone to save somebody, as the matter of in
fact with the hope that this transfer have come to the end for you to
receive your payment as I took this bold step, what I mostly needed
from you is honest and integrity also keeping this secret and
confidential.

Right now, this might interest you to know the main reason while I
keep on exposed below reference issue to you today just to be
awareness about what really holding your payment upon all the monies
you have paid is (AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT) without the document, there is
no ways the expecting contract award winner compensation will ever
paid to you, point of correction, don’t ever you ignore below
messages, it is yours times for God to answer your prayer, Well, I
wouldn’t say I regretted taking such step because I don’t know how
much you have also paid so far in this issue. But my pains and agonies
is much each times I saw your file form record, you’re always feeling
cheated or swindled.

Well, a times I sat down and thinks of this other way round with the
firm believe that you sometimes act funny just because of the bad name
and reputation of this country (Republic Due Benin in West African)
also with your past experience with some of those hoodlums. But when I
sat down in my office sometime last week and saw your payment file, I
was trying to contact you personally with the hope of helping you out
of the mess you have faced so far with those criminals, but I still
understand partially that you are still somewhat believing in those
hoodlums fake letters and documents, look, you need a prayer just ask
God to opened your eyes well, by review a personal person to trust in
order to have your fund paid to you.

Considering the state of affairs at hand, I will be glad to notify you
for the last time what holding your payment sake and you have also
lost money too, but I want you to know our stands now because the UN,
FBI & INTERPOL are so concerned why I have not yet gotten this fund of
yours paid to you since, but I found out that my explanation makes no
sense/ or difference to them, all they are after is for me to make
sure I get this done before the end of Next week. Please! Please! &
please! Can you help yourself out from this matter so we can forget
about our agonies once and for all? Can you trust me for once for me
to trust you as well so we can work out things? I want to be plain to
you so you can be plain to me as well. According to my meeting with
this reliable bank manager last Friday,

he made it clear to me that instead of him demanding for fees upon
fees; why don’t we pay the whole needed fee for once and get this fund
transferred or delivered to you If you’re ready to comply with the
US$124,00,Finally,I would love you to open up to me if I should
forward a letter of declaration to you for you to sign on it stating
that you’re no more interested in making this claim so I can forward
to the bank, UN, FBI & INTERPOL. But if you’re still interested in
making the claim, kindly try and send down the needed fee today so I
can make all arrangement with the bank to avoid delay.
Get back to me now so that I will provide you the information which
you will use and send down the $124,


I await your prompt response,
