"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!

Subject: Attn:- Registration of Your Tax Identification Number / Social Security

United Nations.
Address: #405 East 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10017, USA.
Secretary-General of the United Nations: Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres.

Attn:- Registration of Your Tax Identification Number / Social Security number (SSN)

With all due respect, and without mincing words, we noticed you have paid several fees as you were directed, and you were hoping to receive your funds as they have promised you, whereas, it is sad to know that you have never received any of these funds until date despite all the money you have sent to them.

NOTE: the only reason your fund is still held until date is because you FAILED to LINK/REGISTER YOUR TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (SSN) to your FUNDS.

A Tax Identification Number / A Social Security number (SSN) is a nine-digit number that the U.S. government issues to all U.S. citizens and eligible U.S. residents. The government uses this number to keep track of your finances and your fund transactions as regarding Taxes.

Your failure to link your Tax Identification Number (SSN) to your Fund has made your State Tax Authority assume that you do not want them to legally keep track of your funds as regarding Taxes. It means that you have been denying them the access to deduct the 24% tax levied on your funds. As a result of this, your State Tax Authority has placed a hold to all your funds until you link/register your Tax Identification Number (SSN) to your fund and grant them access to deduct 24% tax from your fund. After deduction of 24% tax is done successfully they will transfer your remaining funds to you at no cost.

A tax is a compulsory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed on a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a governmental organization in order to fund government spending and various public expenditures. A failure to pay, along with evasion of or resistance to taxation, is punishable by law.

Your failure to link/register your Tax Identification Number(SSN) and grant your State Tax Authority the access to deduct 24% tax is punishable by law, and that is the only reason your fund was held until date. Sending fees to all those wicked people and offices is never a solution to your fund release, all you need is to link/register your Tax Identification Number(SSN) to your funds, and grant them access to deduct 24% tax from your funds and your remaining funds will be sent to you at no cost.

Finally, we have confirmed all your legitimate pursuit funds, delayed funds and expected funds to the total amount of USD$45,000,000,000 ($45-Million USD). You must link/register your Tax Identification Number(SSN) to your $45-Million USD to grand your STATE TAX COLLECTION AGENCY the access to deduct 24% = $11,250,000 and remaining funds of $33,750,000 will be transferred to you at no cost.

Since your $45-Million USD originated from AFRICA, therefore you must contact the IRS representative in Africa (African Tax Administration Forum). The African Tax Administration Forum will guide you through on how to link/register your Tax Identification Number(SSN) to your $45-Million with your State Tax Authority.

Contact the Executive Secretary to the African Tax Administration Forum for further details, and you will receive your funds at no cost.
