"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!

June 2013, single, childless and without having granted a Last Will.

The money is with the CS Private Investment Bank. The bank let me know that=
I have to introduce a beneficiary to redeem the funds, since the 10-year i=
nvestment program ended in February. All of my efforts to find relatives of=

relatives. As a result, I would suggest dividing the assets.

All necessary documents also contain the certificate of origin in order to =
avoid questions from the responsible bank. The requested documents that you=
need for the procedure are legal and notarized. The fund does not contain =
any criminal origin. The procedure will be flawless and without complicatio=
ns, the money transfer will be completed in accordance with the law. I hope=
for your trust and a good cooperation. =


I wish to point out that I want 5% of this money to be shared among Charity=
Organizations, 50% will be my share and the remaining 45% will be for you.=
This transaction is entirely risk free. I will use my position as the clie=
nt=E2=80=99s personal attorney to guarantee the successful execution of thi=
s transaction. Send me an email with the information requested below if you=
're happy with my suggestion. I will give you a private phone number for di=
rect dialogue, which is different from the direct number of my law firm. Pl=
ease contact me only via this e-mail and not via my office line. EMAIL: nok=
info91@gmail.com Your personal processing number is: K: G-A / OG / 01.16-NS

The intended transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement th=
at will protect you and me from any breach of the law. However, if this bus=
