"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: My Dear,


I am Mrs. Florence Walker, I am a US citizen, 51 years Old. I reside here
in Fountain Hills Arizona. My residential address is as follows. 17370 E
San Marcus Dr Fountain Hills, AZ 85268, USA, I am thinking of relocating
since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation
in Benin Republic many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid
over US$46,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Benin Republic with all my compensation
documents, And I was directed to meet Chief Justice Gary Roman, who is a
member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he
explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting you through
emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment.
Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my
compensation funds of $10,500,000.00 Moreover, Chief Justice Gary Roman,
showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their
payments and I saw your email address as one of the beneficiaries, that is
why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not
with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to
contact Chief Justice Gary Roman.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you
and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in any way with
them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until
you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Chief Justice Gary
Roman was just US$1,450 for the paper works, take note of that.

As soon as you contact him he will send you the payment information which
you are to use in sending the payment to him in order for him to obtain the
document from the court of law there in Benin Republic so that your fund
can be transfer to you without any delay just the way mine was being
transfer to me or if you prefer to receive your funds in the form of a Visa
Card, He will load and ship the Visa Card to your address which will permit
you a daily withdrawal limit of US$3,000.

Send him the following details if you know you are ready to have your FUNDS
so that as soon as he receive your information he will send to you the
payment details for sending him the $1,450 USD that is needed for him to
get the document that is needed to make the transfer a successful one and
that is that only payment i made to Chief Justice Gary Roman and he help me
in the transferring of my FUNDS and i most say that you have to contact him
so that he will help you the way he help me to Get my FUNDS without any
further payment. Fill Out the information to him if you are ready to get
your FUNDS.

Full Name:
Current Address:

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Chief
Justice Gary Roman so that he can help you to Deliver your fund instead of
dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for
different kinds of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
