"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: RE:CONTACT BARRISTER WALKER DICKSON FOR YOUR PENDING FUNDS

Good Day,


I am Mrs.Melinda Suzanne Malovoz, a LONDON citizen, Am 35 years old. I am one of those people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds and Lottery funds from European banks even from many lottery organizers,Atm card and Compensation funds etc few years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid different fees while in the United States trying to get my funds from those banks,ATM CARD And Compenation and lottery organizers but all to no avail. So I decided to travel to USA, with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the IMF Director to contact the reconciliator Barrister Walker Dickson who is also an attorney, A USA citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently working with IMF in the LONDON and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake. Barrister Walker Dickson personally directed me on how to claim my Inheritance or Lottery pa yment.


Right now I have received my compensation funds of $2,000.000.000 Moreover, Barrister Walker Dickson, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their Inheritance or Lottery payment and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you.


I will personally advise you to contact Barrister Walker Dickson, he will assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of God.
