"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!

*ICEP is charged with the responsibility of finding bank accounts in
Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which have remained dormant
since World War II. It may interest you to know that In January 13 2005,
the Swiss Banker's Association published a list of dormant accounts
originally opened by non-Swiss citizens. These accounts had been dormant
since the end of World War II (May 9, 1945). Most belonged to Holocaust
victims.*
*The continuing efforts of my office the Independent Committee of Eminent
Persons (ICEP) have since resulted in the discovery of additional dormant

*On the process of my work a dormant account is discovered during my
investigation with a credit balance of $ 17,000,000 US dollar plus
accumulated interest belonging to a foreigner who has no relative, the
beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era, leaving no WILL and no
possible records for trace of heirs. The Claims Resolution Tribunal has
been mandated to report all unprocessed claims for permanent closure of
accounts and transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of
Switzerland government as provided by the law for management of assets of
deceased beneficiaries who died interstate (living no wills) I decided to
write you as our regime is at hand for dissolving and all deadlines to file
claims relating to the Swiss Banks Settlement have expire on assistance of
our claiming this fund.*

*Due to the sensitive nature of my job, i need you a partner outside of
Switzerland to stand as a beneficiary for processing the claims. Being a
top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details and necessary contacts to
enable you to be validated as claimant and the fund sent to you without any
PROBLEM.*
*All that is required is for you to provide me your details for processing
of the necessary legal and administrative claim documents for release of
claim amount to you as I will pay all the relative fees to the lawyer to
make sure you are validated a confirmed beneficiary and I trust his
