"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!

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Address: 1000 Colonial Farm Rd, McLean, VA 22101, USA.


Greetings to you,

I am Gina Haspel, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

I will be very grateful if you can bring out your time to read this
message and honor it. I have not contacted you to tell you stories but
I have contacted you to enlighten you about what is going on globally
not only in Africa as many US citizens believe. Corruption is a
general disease which inflect only the mind of the greedy ones in a
society.

This leads many people into different kinds of behaviors. Since day
one of my service, as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
and before the position. I have witness a lot of cases and finally a
The solution was provided not by my power alone but by the grace and
wisdom applied. I was totally disappointed when i came across your
case file and the way it was handled. I went deeply to investigate to
know the reason the said fund is not yet delivered to you after all
you have spent to the both countries fund monetary agencies( AFRICAN
GOVERNMENT) & ( USA GOVERNMENT). And it was a very common reason which
is hardly for You can figure it out quickly,

but it takes grace and experience to notice. The reason you couldn't
find out is because you gave all trust and believe that as long as
you send them the money they will do exactly as instructed. Before i
commence, i want to ask you some question and these questions will
answer the reason why your fund has not been delivered to you despite
all your effort and fund invested.

MY QUESTIONS ARE;

1) As the sole beneficiary to this said fund, do you have any original
documents in your hand? I don't mean scan copies of document that
might have been sent to you via email?.

2) Did you go in person or send a representative to the fund origin
country to sign those papers on your behalf?

3) The person who might have been representing you over there, has he
one day sent you the original hard-copies of the document you have
been paying for through DHL,

UPS OR FEDEX Courier company apart from scan copies on email? This is
the major reason why your fund has not been released.

The only thing that gave me joy during my investigation and research
is that your funds are real. It was confirmed to me from the fund
origin government official today. And the West Africa ECOWAS court
chairman has order that we sent a representative on your behalf who
will sign and clear your fund and get all the original documents
successfully to you.

Gina Haspel, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency vowed to make
sure that I put an end to the cheating. And ensure that your fund is
delivered to your home without any more delay or stress by sending a
CIA SPECIAL AGENT to West Africa. His mission going down there is to
get all the documents and ensure that your fund is released to you
with immediate effect. But we can not make any move without your
awareness and permission. Therefore, we seek permission from you to
enable us achieve the mission.

Get Back to me Via Email so that i can Provide you with Contact

This Case of Confirmed ( $10.5
Million Dollars ) Ten Million and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars,

Thank you and God bless you. More information on the subject matter
will be detailed after hearing from you.
