"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!

Dear friend,

I am sincerely sorry for bugging into your privacy, its due to a
business deal in my bank of which I require your kind and honest
assistance. Please let this massage not be a surprise to you because I
got your information and lay trust in you before I contacted you;
believing that you are in the position to assist me. My names are Mr.
Khairi Ehab Hassan, the Branch Manager of National Bank of Abu Dhabi
(Dubai-Jumeirah Branch). I have an urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you.

An France/Iraqi Foreign Oil Consultant/Contractor with the Chevron
Petroleum Corporation Company Late Mr. Paul Louis Halley Made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to
his forwarding address but got no reply, after a month we sent a
reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, Iraqi
Foreign Oil consultant Chevron Petroleum Corporation Company that Mr.
Paul Louis Halley died in a plane crash on December 6 2003.

For more information about this crash and person you can contact this
website:http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/oxfordshire/4537663.stm
Since we got this information about his death and on further
investigation I found out that he died without making a "WILL" and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Paul Louis Halley did
not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my bank.

This sum of US$12,500,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of
each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to
Laws of United Arab Emirates, at the expiration of 10 (ten) years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the (U.A.E) Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Paul Louis Halley so that the
fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to
provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney
will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you
in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an
attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate administration in your favor
for the transfer.

A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will
then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for
us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no
risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by
the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,
please reply immediately via the private email address above.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because
I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply via my confidential email address: ehabnbad@gmail.com

My Best Regards,
Mr. Khairi Ehab Hassan,
NBAD, Dubai.
