"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "first national bank" (not involved with lotteries)
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "outstanding contractors" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.
- firstnationalb@bk.ru (email address has been used in a known fraud before)

Re: Urgent Notice.

The recent launched Joint External Debt Hub (JEDH) by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Finance Statistics (TFFS) This joint launch is by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), International Monetary Fund (IMF), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the World Bank and represents efforts to synergize international advances in the area of external debt statistics. Due to this new organization, the World Bank has gratified the international Debt Management to look into the all outstanding contractors/Workers due for payment with US Government.

In Regards to this, your name was among the unsettled contractors/Workers who have not received their payments. I wish to inform you that the international Debt Management has been approved and instructed by world debt organization & World Bank to process and release all the outstanding payment which has been
due for payment.

This is to officially notify you that the World Bank in conjunction with the United States set aside US$3.4Billion to pay in good claims from foreign Inheritance Fund (Next of Kin); In line with this arrangement the United States on Foreign Debt Matters (USFDM) ordered that contractors and Next-of-Kins whose file have shown sufficient proof regarding job execution and debt outstanding be settled without delay.

We wish to inform you that your file was forwarded to First National Bank by various offices and department showing that you have fulfilled all conditions necessary to receive your payment.

One of the reasons your payment had been delayed for so long was because of counter-claim on your fund, this necessitated the perusal of documents relating to your contract payment, we were convinced that you are the bona-fide beneficiary to the said fund. The attempts to divert your payment to foreign account was done by your local representatives in collaboration with some Officials and most of the officials involved in several executive misconducts have been sacked.

I hereby inform you this day that your inheritance sum calculated US$10.5M shall be paid to you via online Wire Transfer due to rules/regulation guiding Bank Secrecy Act(BSA). Be aware that all necessary modalities concerning the release of your fund have regularized, so all we require from you is your honest concentration to make this transfer happen within 72hrs.

Kindly contact Mr. Vincent J. Delie our bank account manager for more info: firstnationalb@bk.ru
