"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: FROM MRS MARINA LUDA

Marina Luda

Springs Florida,

Attention: Sir / Madam

I am Mrs. Marina Luda; I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in Florida USA. My residential address is as follows, 7008 E Hwy 326 Silver Springs Florida 34488

United States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay

me, I had paid over $ 85,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.
So I decided to travel to Washington with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director to contact Barrister

charles Jensen, who is a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a member of the Compensation Award Committee, currently in Nigeria and I contacted

him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds

of $ 10.5 Million US Dollars, Moreover, Barrister Charles Jensen showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as

one of the beneficiaries on the list he showed me, that is why why 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 advise you to contact Barrister Charles Jensen. Kindly send your personal details to him to prove your identification.

Name: Barrister Charles Jensen
Email: charlesjensen1000@outlook.com

phone number: 646-760-2520

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only

taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Barrister Tony Jensen was just $ 650 USD for the paper works,

take note of that.

Once again stop consulting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Charles Jensen so that he can help you to deliver your fund instead of dealing with those

liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank you and be blessed.

Marina Luda
