"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: **SPAM** READ ATTENTIVELY AND REPLY ME


Dear Sir,

READ ATTENTIVELY AND THEN REPLY ME

I am contacting you this morning in order to give you an urgent and CONFIDENTIAL information about the money that you have been pursuing in my country.

I also have a piece of of good news to tell you because I have found the solution on how to move the money direct to any location of your choice. I met an old friend of my late brother who is a pilot with one of the prime airlines in the aviation sector in my country. I discussed this business with him and he promised to help to deliver the money to you through a system called the DCCPS, direct cash call payment scheme. This is a method that the pilot has used to move several millions of British pounds, euro and US dollars in CASH out of Africa for many top African politicians and government officials.

He will not charge you his professional fee until he delivers the package of money to your your preferred location. The name of the pilot is Captain Ebenezer and I want you to contact him urgently via: Email: airnavi77@gmail.com

Contact him urgently because he will be flying to Accra-London-Luxembourg tomorrow and ask him to direct you how he can help you receive the money by DCCPS. You may also ask him for his telephone number so that you will discuss one on one with him.

Let me stop so far until I hear from you.

Captain Ebenezer
