"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!

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 phrases in this message should put you on alert:

NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )

PRESS RELEASE

UNITED NATIONS COMPENSATION COMMISSION PAYS OUT
US$270 MILLION

Today, the United Nations Compensation Commission made
available $270 million to the Government of the State of Kuwait
towards the Commissionâ€™s remaining claim with an outstanding award
balance.

The United Nations Compensation Commission is a subsidiary
organ of the United Nations Security Council. It was established in
1991 in accordance with Security Council resolutions 687 (1991) and
692 (1991) to process claims and pay compensation for losses and
damages incurred by individuals, corporations, Governments and
international organizations as a direct result of Iraqâ€™s invasion and
occupation of Kuwait (2 August 1990 to 2 March 1991). The Commission
received approximately 2.7 million claims and concluded its review of
all claims in 2005. Approximately $52.4 billion was awarded to over
100 Governments and international organizations for distribution to
1.5 million claims in all claim categories.

Successful claims are paid from the United Nations Compensation
Fund which receives a percentage of the proceeds generated by the
export sales of Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products. This rate was
previously set at five per cent under Security Council resolution 1483
(2003) and reaffirmed in subsequent resolutions. Pursuant to Governing
Council decision 276 adopted in November 2017, the percentage was set
at 0.5 per cent for 2018, 1.5 per cent for 2019 and 3 per cent for
2020. The rate will remain at 3 per cent until such time as the
outstanding compensation has been paid in full. Payments are made on a
quarterly basis utilizing all available funds in the Compensation Fund
under Governing Council decision 267 (2009).

With todayâ€™s payment, the Commission has paid out $50.3
billion, leaving approximately $2.1 billion to be paid towards an
outstanding award balance. This category E claim was submitted by the
Government of the State of Kuwait on behalf of the Kuwait Petroleum
Corporation and awarded $14.7 billion in 2000 for oil production and
sales losses as a result of damages to Kuwaitâ€™s oil field assets. It
represents the largest award by the Commission.
