"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!

Attention and Greetings:

I am Mr. kavin brght,The Chair person in charge of US Department of the Treasury, International WIRE OR DELIVERY of United States.

I want to inform you that your Payment File was brought to my desk last week friday to Cancel because the UNITED BANK Money delivery director & management of the International Monitory Funds (IMF) have declared to divert your fund to the government treasury account just because you can not pay the signed And document delivery fee. In reasoning wisely to this complain I told them to wait until I hear from you today so that I will know the reason why you decide to rejected such amount of money which is your rightful & legal overdue inheritance payment just because of signed and document delivery fee.

The reason why I sent this massage to you is because its your inheritance and for this reason you still have this last chance to claim your fund if you can send the needed fee today or tomorow because I have already arranged everything ready for you but failing to do this, I will allow them to have power over your fund and am very sorry if you
failed as this is the last chance,i want you to get back to me immediately you receive this message, phone,+1{405}260-8301

THANKS yours sincerely kevin bright.
