"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!

Meanwhile, after due scrutiny and verification, I confirmed that you
have fulfilled all the necessary obligations that will enable the
release of your payment to you in the past, but yet your payment was
not released due to one flimsy excuses or the other from the Bank
officials in charge of your payment, because they had the intention of
diverting your funds to their private accounts in order to satisfy
their selfish interest. You are however lucky that the representatives
of the International Financial Fraud Action Group detected their evil
plans and therefore called for the submission of your payment file to
the stake holders so we can personally handle the payment assignment
to ensure that you receive your funds accordingly.

here Standard Chartered Bank Plc , thus, your fund has been made ready
for release in the bank's sophisticated macro payment system. What is
needed from you now is to re-confirm the following details for your
valid ATM card within 72 hours.
