"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!

Subject: STOP CONTACTING THOSE PEOPLE.CONTACT BARRISTER CHIMA ANTHONY FOR YOUR
COMPENSATION

Good day

Aim Mrs. Sandra O Jackson., I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows.108 Crockett Court. Apt 303, New Brunets Texas, United States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had

paid over $20,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.


So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, and I was directed to meet Barrister Chima Anthony, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE and a Human Rights Activist (Lawyer), and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake. He took me to the paying bank for

the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $1,500,000.00 Moreover, Barrister Chima Anthony showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister Chima Anthony.

You have to contact him directly on this information below and make sure you call him.

COMPENSATION AWARD AUTHORITY
Name : Chima Anthony (Barrister)
Email: barr.chimaanthony@qq.com

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in any way with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Barrister Chima Anthony was just $99 for the paper works, take note of that.

As soon as you contact him he will send you the payment information which you are to use in sending the payment to him in order for him to obtain the document from the court of law there in Nigeria so that your fund can be transfer to you without any delay just the way mine was being transfer to me. Send him the following details if you know you are ready to make the payment so that as soon as he receive your information he will send to you the payment details for sending him the $99 USD that is needed for him to get the document that is needed to make the transfer a successful one without any further payment.


Fill Out the information to him if you are ready to get your fund and also ready to make the payment.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Chima Anthony so that he can help you to deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thanks for your co-operations Yours faithfully, Thank YOU for your
understanding, Be Blessed.
