"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!

Immediately after the death of Libyan leader late Muammar Gaddafi on the 20th of Oct 2011, the United Nation (NU) Security Agency combined with International Monetary Fund (IMF) was seriously chasing and confiscating late Muammar Mohammed Abu Minyar Gaddafi funds and assets around the world which triggered panic among late Minyar Gaddafi cronies and associates compelling them into moving funds and Gold to private banks and financial security companies to disassociate link of Gold Bars with late Minyar Gaddafi and Libya.
