"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: ABOUT YOUR UNPAID FUND

I am Miss Charlotte Gomgnimbou.

I am computer scientist with Central Bank Of Dubai. I am 26 years old,
just started work with Central bank of Dubai. I am contacting you
based on the transaction you had in the paste I came across your file
which was marked X and your released disk painted RED, I took time to
study it and found out that you have paid VIRTUALLY all fees and
certificate but the fund has not been release to you.

The most annoying thing is that they cannot tell you the truth that on
no account will they ever release the fund to you. Please this is like
a Mafia setting in here; you may not understand it because you are not
in the banking system.
The only thing I will need to release this fund is a special HARD DISK
we call it HD120 GIG. I will buy two of it, recopy your information,
destroy the previous one, and punch the computer to reflect in your
bank within 24 banking hours. I will clean up the tracer and destroy
your file, after which I will run away from Dubai to meet with you.

The CBN Dubai with banks in Europe,Asia Africa and America.If you are
interested. Do get in touch with me immediately, You should send to me
your convenient tell/fax numbers for easy communications and also
re_confirm your banking details, so that there won't be any mistake.

Regards,
Miss Charlotte Gomgnimbou.
