"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!

After several thought I think we can do an oil business deal that is being pending in one of first class bank in Middle East and Switzerland.

When I was working with Australian Worldwide Exploration (AWE) Sydney, Australia my company sent me to Brega Libya during Ghaddafi time.

We did the exploration and our company was paid in full before death Ghedaffi.

And then there is over invoiced sum of USD6,652,000.00 unpaid at finance company in Cairo Egypt and part at Brussels Belgium without claim.

Now I want you to assume my partner so the finance house can process the payment and transfer to your bank account.

Then you will be entitled with 50% of the total money.
