"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!

For a very long time now i have been trying to get my fund; there by paying thousands of dollars to scammers.

I have lost over $15,000 trying to claim my money.

I met a long time friend who works with the Interpol; He gave me the information that the said fund including (INHERITANCE FUNDS, WINNINGS, COMPENSATION FUNDS) were all deposited with a Corporate Finance House in the United States due to fraudulent activities on the internet.

I was able to travel down to the United States through the help of my friend and I met with the agent in charge who showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name, donation code and your email address.

THIS IS YOUR DONATION CODE: MV71R43WAN

Contact the Agent in charge with your donation code for release of your money.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.
CORPORATE FINANCE HOUSE.
Name : Mr. Alexander Michael
Email : alexanmichbd1@outlook.com

NOTE: The only money I paid after I met Mr. Alexander Michael was just $375 for the paper works and necessary documentations, that was all.

I wish you the best of luck,

Best Regards,
