"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!

Rozruch byl ve Snemovne pri jednбnн o prodlouћenн nouzovйho stavu kolem vystoupenн nezarazenйho poslance Lubomнra Volnйho. Mluvil bez rouљky a pred recnickэ pult oprel ceduli s nбpisem Konec ploљnйho nouzovйho stavu!!! Podporujeme cнlenб opatrenн. „Jste sobeckэ idiot, protoћe tady mluvнte bez rouљky, bez rouљky na mikrofon,“ vycetl mu Dominik Feri z TOP 09.Volnэ navrhl vytvorit systйm dobrovolnй izolace lidн, kterн se cнtн ohroћeni a jimћ by stбt prispнval na to, aby je motivoval zustat doma a aby meli na to krэt svй zvэљenй nбklady. Povrch Zeme se zakresluje do map, kterй jsou tak zmenљenэm rovinnэm obrazem. Vednн obor zabэvajнcн se vэrobou map je kartografie. Samotnэ vznik map je spojen se vzdelanostн cloveka, kterб umoћnila chбpбnн svйho okolн a snahu o jeho zakreslenн.[19] S postupnэm vэvojem predstav cloveka o Zemi se menily i mapy a to v zбvislosti na preferovanйm tvaru Zeme. V novoveku jiћ definitivne zvнtezil nбzor, ћe je Zeme kulatб a tak se zacaly mapy tomuto faktu prizpusobovat.
Autumn generally begins in September, which is still warm and dry. During October, temperatures usually fall below 15 °C (59 °F) or 10 °C (50 °F) and deciduous trees begin to shed their leaves. By the end of November, temperatures usually range around the freezing point. Nejstarљн zmнnky o trvalйm osнdlenн odlehlйho koutu sveta se datujн deset tisнc let do minulosti: Indiбni tam zrejme dorazili jeљte suchou nohou z kontinentu. Teprve roku 1520 stanula na zdejљнm brehu noha Evropana. Prнchod Љpanelu, kterн objevili vodnн cestu mezi zбpadnн a vэchodnн polokoulн, zasadil ovљem domorodcum krutou rбnu – od tй doby se totiћ oblast octila v hledбcku dobrodruhu a zlatokopu.
