"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!

The Google Promotion Award Team has discovered a huge number of double
claims due to winners informing close friends, relatives and third parties
about their winnings and also sharing their identification numbers. As a
result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the
real winners. The Google promotion award committee has reached a decision
from the headquarters at the United Kingdom that any double claim
discovered by the Lottery Board will result in the disqualification of the
winner’s lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your
winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.







Congratulations from the Staff & Members of the Google interactive Lottery
Board Commission.







TESTIMONIES OF OUR PAST LUCKY WINNERS:


''When I first received an unsolicited email that I have just won four
hundred Fifty Thousand Pounds from Google Lotto it appeared to me like one
of those uncalled -for emails .However, when I decided to justify my
curiosity by contacting the Agent they told me in the email to know if this
was real he instructed me on what to do to claim my winning and as a matter
of fact I was skeptical initially but when I did I was full of surprise
when my bank here in America called me up to confirm to me that an
additional four hundred Fifty Thousand Pounds Has been transferred to my
account.
I am really happy for the GOOGLE COMPANY who made it possible for me to be
a millionaire Today''. [Mr. Shaun Walter [From Texas In The United States
of America]





''بالنسبة لي، كل شيء كان يشير الى اتجاه عملية نصب واحتيال، وخصوصا عندما قيل
لي أنه لا بد لي من دفع مبلغ معين من المال يتم نقلها للحكومة" ، وشهادة واجب "
على الحكومة للموافقة على نقل بلادي وكان البلد قبل صندوق بلدي الفائز سوف يكون
هذا بسبب الاعتقاد بأن لكونه الفائز ليس من الضروري أن ترسل المال أولا قبل
المتلقي. ومع ذلك ، عندما ناقشت هذا الأمر مع زوجتي حثني على القيام بذلك لسبب
ما يعتقد في اليانصيب. بعد أن قررت أن تحقيق هذا المطلب ، ضرب لي مثل الرعد
الكرة عندما فوجئت المودعة في نهاية £ 850،000 في بلدي بنك ميلي الاعتبار. كان
لا يصدق بالنسبة لي لاتخاذ الانسحاب من 850،000 £ لشراء منزل جديد في طهران ،
إيران.
الدكتور محمد حسين [إيران]










''To me I was the last person on earth to believe in the Internet of a
thing and its winning. Especially considering the fact that I am a black
woman from Africa. I just couldn't believe it, but when I called my claim
agent to confirm my winning I was still in surprise until I meet all there
condition and today I am the pillar in my family because of my financial
strength''.
Mrs. Joyce Addo [From Accra, Ghana, West Africa]



'' I am OFW from CEBU CITY, working as a make shift nurse here in a local
hospital in Liverpool, England. Most of my salary goes back home to support
my family. Words can't explain how I feel winning a lottery I never
participated in; I was over joyed when my email address won Four hundred
and fifty Thousand Pound Sterling. I am going back home to the Philippines
next month to start my own clinic so that I can help the poor people in my
community. THANK YOU JESUS''
MARITES RODICO [OFW in Liverpool, England









''لقد فاز يدي على صدري ويقول لا أحد يهتم للاستماع، وهذا اليانصيب هو حقيقي.
وأنا شاهد حي والدي يعتقد ابدأ عندما قلت لهم ان فاز، ولكن اليوم يبدو لي سوى
19 سنة وأنا ، أنا بالفعل يبتسم للبنك مع الاسترليني أربعمائة وخمسين ألف جنيه.

FROM GOOGLE LOTTO LAST YEAR AND I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS,

INFORMATION TO COLLECT THE PRIZE MONEY,CLAIMING THAT I SENT HIM. MY ADVICE
IS THAT IF U EVER WIN A GOOGLE LOTTERY, DON'T TELL ANYONE TILL YOU GET YOUR
PRIZE, EVEN YOUR BEST FRIEND. THEY WILL TELL YOU ITS A LIE,BUT THEY WILL
CONTACT THE LOTTERY AGENT AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD LEARN
FROM MY MISTAKE. PEACE.







'"Saya menerima pemberitahuan menang pada beberapa kesempatan semacam ini,
tetapi saya tidak percaya sampai aku hanya mengambil risiko membayar semua
biaya saya diminta untuk membayar. Infact saya pinjam uang dari sekitar
untuk membayar semua biaya dan melihat saya hari ini saya bisa membayar
kembali apa yang saya pinjam 5-kali lipat menjadi kreditur saya''
