"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: Compensation Payment.

Attention,

I'm Ms.Joy Elizabeth, I took part in receiving Inheritance funds from European banks even from many lottery organization etc few years back which they refused to pay as agreed, i thought i had been scammed due to no response from anyone or from the Agent i have been working with either, I had paid different fees while in the United States trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery organization E.T.C. I decided to travel to IMF office in Scotland UK for the claiming of my funds with all my compensation documents. I was directed by the IMF Director to contact the reconciliatory Barrister Frank Daniel, who is also an attorney and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently working with IMF in the United Kingdom. I contacted him which he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are all con artist / Scammers.

Presently I have received my compensation payment of $3.5 million dollars. Barrister Frank Daniel showed me some information of those that are yet to receive their Inheritance, Lottery payment, compensation E.T.C. I saw your email address as one of the beneficiaries who is to receive the payment worth of $3.5 million dollars which is why I decided to send you a mail for you to stop dealing with those people claiming to be in charge of your funds, they are not with your fund which they are only making money of you, so many people might be impersonating to be Him which is why the Government has given him an ALIYUN mail because it can't be registered by scammers.

I will personally advise you to contact Barrister Frank Daniel, he will assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of God.
I know you might be skeptical about this transaction but am a living testimony, i will really advise you to work with him with trust because he will really assist you in this transaction for your funds to be transferred to your account.
