"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: Attention Dear Beneficiary

SUPREME COURT OF UNITED STATES.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington DC 20500. The USA.
From: John Glover Roberts Jr,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States

Good day to you!!

I am John Glover Roberts Jr, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States. I would like to inform you that your fund issue worth
the total sum of $5.5Million US Dollars was brought to my office this
morning to cancel by Mr. Charles W. Scharf the Chief Executive Officer
WELLS FARGO BANK USA.

Then, I asked what are the conditions but I was told that because of
your inability to secure the required Affidavit of claim Ownership so
that the US Monitory Fund Investigation Union head office in
Washington DC capital the United State of America will declare your
payment free from any money laundry and terrorism drug money sponsor
activities to enable our service have the authority of releasing the
payment to you and register it with US MAILING POST for over-night
delivery to your address withoutdelay.

But I told him to wait because there is no need to cancel the payment
and that I will do my very best to bring the issue to a conclusion. To
the best of my knowledge and humanitarian ground and sympathy. I
immediately called up the new President Mr. Joe Biden and US Senate
committees and explained your matter to them. We understand that the
imposed fee $400 of Affidavit of claim Ownership might be too much for
you to pay now, So we further make things easier for you by discussing
with new President Mr.Joe Biden and the US Senate committee on your
behalf.

They have given you the grace of sending only $200 to enable you to
afford this only fee after the Diplomatic Agent delivers your ATM Visa
Card to you, then once you confirm your $5.5Million US Dollars, you
can then pay the remaining balance of $200. All we want you to do
right now is to go ahead buy a $200 Apple store card or Steam wallet
card for immediately issuing the needed Affidavit of claim Ownership
to enable the Diplomat to make the delivery to your home address
today. I advise you should send the required $200 to secure the
Affidavit of claim Ownership to enable them to ship your ATM Card that
worth $5.5Million US Dollars to regain your financial freedom and have
enough money to live on and establish a good business for yourself and
your family. But if you don't need it then I can change your name to
another person to receive the fund on your behalf so that this
Government will not claim this money but I know that you will love to
have it. The ATM package will be successfully safely delivered within
7-hours/ without any hitches or delays. Therefore. I will advise you
to go ahead and buy a $200 Steam Wallet card or Apple store card
because it is the only problem we have on finalizing the assignment on
your behalf. Please quickly run now to buy the Apple store card to
secure the Affidavit of claim Ownership which will show that the
transaction was made through the full capacity of the Government and
will not be queried for certain circumstances.

All necessary official modalities are being finalized in your favor.
Send the $200 Apple store card or steam wallet card so we can direct
it to the right office imposition to release the document. And
immediately you make the payment to them the document will sign and
your ATM parcel will deliver to your address without delay.

Please, I want you to know that you have from now till the end of two
days to send the $200 Apple store card to receive your ATM package
worth $5.5Million US Dollar. Therefore, the days of you being
subjected to paying twice Double Payment is over as that is the case
with some corrupt officials down there in Africa.

This is a lifetime opportunity and we will advise you to take
advantage of it before it will become too late to do so. This could be
the last opportunity you might have in receiving your ATM package so
do not fail to notice this wonderful moment to have your fund that you
have been looking for a way to make it a reality. This is an official
notification and we advise you to treat it with utmost urgency. Reply
this email with the ITUNES CARD or steam wallet card and the below
contact details immediately you receive this email for immediate
shipment of your funds. kindly reconfirm your delivery information to
avoid wrong delivery

1. Your Full Names___
2. Country_____
3. Home Address___

5. Phone Number___
