"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!

face execution.

We do advise catcher to give their clients impression that the
consignment in question will be sent through DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.
(because what we specialized on here is come and carry) The client
should have the impression that the sender(catcher) will be present to meet
with him on the arrival of the Diplomat with the consignment,thereafter,

NOTE: The catcher will make sure that he has given the client bill for
clearing of his consignment over here, and the client accepts.(For
instance, if the bill he wants to give to the client is $10,000,he will
assume that the total bill is $25,000 and he the catcher has paid the
sum of $15,000, that the balance of $10,000 is to be paid to the DIPLOMAT
first before the consignment will be release and delivered to him.
