"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 is to bring to your notice that because of the impossibility of
your fund transfer through our BANK Network, we have credited your
total fund of $2,500,000.00 Legitimate USD into an international
Draft,and we have paid the delivery fee of your ATM VISA card to you,
we paid it because your ATM VISA card worth of $2,500,000.00 which we
have registered for delivery, has less than 16 days to expire in the
custody of the EMS Company and when it expires, the money will go into
federal government treasury account.

For that we decided to help you pay off the money so that your
International bank Draft will not expire, because we trust that when
you receive this your International bank Draft, definitely you must
pay us back and even compensate us for helping you. Like we stated
earlier, the delivery charges has been paid ,therefore the only money
you are advice to send to them is their official security keeping fees
of $35usd every day.

Like I stated earlier, the crediting re-activation, delivery and the
company registration charges has been paid by me, but I did not pay
their official security keeping fees since they refused, they refused
and the reason is that they don't know when you are going to contact
them and the demurrage might have increased by then, They told me that
their official security keeping fees is $35.00 per a day , and I
deposited it yesterday being 31/08/2021.
