"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!

Binary options is a life changing market but its not that easy, and its not magic or a super market with fixed prices stipulated on commodities.
what we offer in binary options might be relatively low compared to those that offer over a p500% profit in a very short period of time. If that's what you want am afraid we don't offer that. But if you want something realistic,achievable, consistent and most importantly secure then we can help you. You can CHOOSE to make excuses for your situationsor you can make RESULTS!
Only one of these CHOICES will change your situation for the better!!
 
 
Trade binary options with a company that can make an offer and keep to it. with a minimum invest of $500 sure to make profit of over $19,390 in 20 days, an invest of $1500 with a profit of over $31,360 in 21 days, then I think I would be needed for that kind of job, can also teach you our working strategies to maximize your win rate.
We will show you some little secrets in trading binary options, Surely we will help you and you'd be thankful you
