"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!

You are advise to pay all charges imposed on your funds for clearance purpose and transfer,then the accountant general will have to employed the services of a lawyer on your behalf to signed all legal document on your behalf and be informed that there is no way this fee can be deducted from the principal funds due to new banking policy here,take note of this again ad again that there is no way this fee can be deducted from the principal funds.

Below are the list of document needed to procured and signed before your funds $450,000.000.00 can be transferred to your bank account successfully without any international banking impediment and the total cost of the document is $1,700.000.00 and i will advise you to make the $1,700,000.00 transfer installment due to transfer policy everywhere in the world so it will be wise to get the $1,700,000,00 transfer 3 times to make things easier for you there in your country.

By transferring $500,000.00 first then next transfer should be $500,000.00 before the final payment will be $700,000.00 without no problem OK .
